Communications Manager documentation provides detailed instructions for these procedures.
For suggestions about how to provide users with information about features, and what information to
provide, see
Appendix A, Providing Information to Users Via a Website.
For information about setting up phones in non-English environments, see Appendix C, Supporting
International Users.
