Become familiar with the following terms and conventions. They help you use this
book with your Avaya MultiVantage™ Software.

Commands are printed in bold face as follows: command.

We show complete commands in this book, but you can usually type an
abbreviated version of the command. For example, list configuration
station
can be typed as list config sta.

Screen displays and names of fields are printed in constant width as
follows:

A screen is any form displayed on your computer or terminal monitor.

Variables are printed in italics as follows: variable.

Keys and buttons are printed as follows:

KEY.

To move to a certain field, you can use the

TAB

key, arrows, or the

ENTER

key (the

ENTER

key may appear as the

RETURN

key on your keyboard).

If you use terminal emulation software, you need to determine what keys
correspond to

ENTER

,

RETURN

,

CANCEL

,

HELP

,

NEXT PAGE

, etc.

In this book we use the terms “telephone” and “voice terminal” to refer to
phones.

We show commands and screens from the newest release of MultiVantage
Software and refer to the most current books. Please substitute the
appropriate commands for your system and refer to the manuals you have
available.

If you need help constructing a command or completing a field entry,
remember to use

HELP

.

— When you press

HELP

at any point on the command line, a list of

available commands appears.

— When you press

HELP

with your cursor in a field on a screen, a list of

valid entries for that field appears.

The status line or message line can be found near the bottom of your
monitor display. This is where the system displays messages for you.
Check the message line to see how the system responds to your input.
Write down the message if you need to call our helpline.

When a procedure requires you to press

ENTER

to save your changes, the

screen you were working on clears and the cursor returns to the command
prompt.

The message line shows “

command successfully completed

” to

indicate that the system accepted your changes.
