5 Putting the System to Work 5
This chapter provides two sample business scenarios to help you understand
your existing system and other configurations you may want to consider in the
future. The following examples are discussed:
■ Scenario 1: A Small Office (Key Mode). A private medical practice.
■ Scenario 2: A Large Professional Office (Hybrid/PBX Mode). A law firm
with some special needs and concerns, including covering calls and
restricting outgoing calls.
NOTE:
Chapter 2 of the Network Reference includes additional scenarios
that help system managers plan and maintain systems in private
networks (Release 6.0 and later systems, Hybrid/PBX mode).
Both scenarios include some general background (a description of the company’s
staff, particular needs and concerns, and a floor plan) and then descriptions of
some of the major aspects of the system as set up to meet the company’s needs,
for example, equipment, methods of call coverage, and calling restrictions.
To better understand your current system, review the scenario that is most like
your own. When you are planning system expansion, review the scenario that
involves system aspects for which you are planning.
NOTES:
1. For more information about the system equipment used in the
scenarios, see Chapter 3, “System Components.” For more
information about system features and applications, see Chapter 4,
“Features and Applications,” or the
Feature Reference. For more
