This guide is divided into two parts:
■ The first four chapters provide information to help you understand the
system, including its hardware components and features.
■ The last four chapters specifically deal with managing the system, including
how to perform the most common system management tasks and how to
“troubleshoot” system problems, that is, what you can do on your own
before you call Lucent Technologies for help.
You should scan the first four chapters now so that you have a general idea of
how the system works. Then, if and when you need a stronger understanding
about a particular aspect of the system or a common system management task,
you can read that chapter or section more carefully.

Three categories of guides are available for the system:
■ User Guides and Operator Guides. Each of these guides describes the
use and features of a specific telephone or operator console.
■ System Reference Guides. These guides provide detailed information
about system features and capabilities:
—The
Feature Reference contains information about features and
applications.
—
System Programming includes detailed, step-by-step procedures to
program the system.
■ Special Reference Guide. For Release 6.0 and later systems
(Hybrid/PBX mode only), the
Network Reference provides detailed
information about private networks made up of linked MERLIN LEGEND
Communications Systems and/or DEFINITY Enterprise Communications
Server/ProLogix Solutions systems. The features and system management
issues associated with private networks are not discussed in the
System
Manager’s Guide
.
NOTE:
An additional guide,
System Planning , contains information about
completing the planning forms and is used mainly by Lucent Technologies
personnel.
Equipment and Operations Reference contains information
about system equipment; it has not been updated since Release 3.0.
The
Feature Reference and System Programming are essential when you
perform the common system management tasks described in Chapter 6,
“Managing the System,” or when you otherwise modify the system as your
company needs change and expand.
