Using the Task Descriptions

Using the Task Descriptions
Each task description contains the following information:
A brief description of the task
Guidelines for planning the change
A task checklist that includes references to other system reference guides
for additional information, if needed
Programming instructions that contain summary programming procedures
for programming from the console and from a PC with SPM
The task descriptions fall loosely into the following categories:
System tasks (setting system date and time; backing up the system)
Extensions (adding, moving, or removing an extension; changing calling
restrictions)
Lines (adding and removing)
Operator consoles (adding a DLC or QCC operator position and adding
operator features)
Auxiliary equipment connections
Group assignments (calling groups, Allowed Lists, Disallowed Lists, Group
Coverage, and Night Service with Group Assignment)
Labels (changing displays for Extension Directory, trunks, Posted
Messages, and calling groups)
To perform a task, follow these general steps:
1. Review the entire task description.
2. Obtain the system planning form(s) noted in the task description.
3. Using the planning guidelines in the task description, plan the changes and
record them on the planning form(s). For more information, you may want
to refer to the feature description in the Feature Reference or the
appropriate section in System Programming.
4. Program the changes using either the detailed, step-by-step programming
procedure in System Programming or the summary programming
instructions that follow the task list. You can photocopy the task list and use
it to check off tasks as you complete them.
For more information, refer to the following guides:
NOTE:
You should become familiar with the detailed instructions in System
Programming before you use the summary programming
