Obtaining a Floor Plan

Obtaining a Floor Plan
You may want to use a floor plan to make planning more manageable and to
ensure that the correct telephone equipment is assigned to each employee. If the
customer does not already have a floor plan showing the location of system
equipment, you should create one. Use the symbols shown in
following instructions:
1. Use a large sheet of paper and sketch the office layout. The location of
office walls and other partitions is important when features are assigned to
telephones that must be within hearing range of each other. For example,
pickup group members must be able to hear each others' telephones
ringing.
2. Indicate the location of each employee's telephone, other locations that will
have a telephone (such as a conference room), and the locations of data
terminals, PCs, and host computers.
3. Indicate the type of telephone at each location, using an abbreviation that
includes the number of programmable buttons. For example, write
at 10-button MLX telephones,
telephones,
4. Indicate the type of adjunct at each location. For example, write
ana. modem
the symbol.
5. Indicate any additional equipment, such as a Station Message Detail
Recording (SMDR) printer, Call Accounting System device, equipment
required for off-site telephones, and so on.
6. Indicate the locations where AC power is available and/or required, for
example, for a Multi-Function Module (MFM), a console with two Direct
Station Selectors (DSSs), or an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)
terminal adapter (such as the Ascend Pipeline™ 25 or 50).
The floor plan does not need to be elaborate or to scale. Keep the floor plan on
hand. Refer to it during planning and complete it (by filling in extension numbers)
when you get to Numbering the System in Chapter 2.
