You should perform several tasks before you begin filling out the planning forms 
for the system:

1.

Review the system’s hardware, features, and operation as defined at the 
time of purchase.

2.

Confirm the location of the control unit.

3.

Obtain the required information from the local telephone company.

4.

Obtain information about telephone users and their needs.

5.

Obtain or develop a floor plan of the customers site.

Each of these preplanning tasks is described in this chapter.

To tailor the system to the customer’s business, you must know the number and 
types of telephones, outside lines/trunks, and adjuncts that were ordered. You 
also need to know how the equipment will be used, for example, which type of 
telephone is assigned to each employee, which consoles operators will be using, 
and where adjuncts will be located.

Review the list of equipment ordered. If you did not participate in the ordering 
process, you may want to confer with the customer representative who did. You 
also may want to conduct a premises check to determine whether any additional 
equipment is required.
