How To Use This TOP Section 0
A tutorial is provided for you in Section 11 of this manual to familiarize yourself
with the interactions of the CIT-PC software and the network element. However,
it
is strongly recommended that this tutorial be used only with an FT-2000 network
element that is out of service.
To find the instructions for performing acceptance, circuit order, operation, or
trouble-clearing tasks, proceed as follows:
1. Find your job in the Task Index under the appropriate colored tab and go to
the referenced procedure; for example, Acceptance IXL-001 (thisisthe
index for the acceptance tasks). Or, you may use the Master Task Index
(Operation and Maintenance: IXL-001) to find your job.
2. Go to the referenced procedure. This is a director level procedure and
includes one of the following types:
a. Non-Trouble-Clearing Procedure (NTP) - a director level procedure
that lists normal work items to perform other than trouble clearing.
b. Trouble Analysis Procedure (TAP) - a director level procedure that
contains step-by-step trouble-clearing instructions to locate and/or
fix troubles. The maintenance philosophy is contained in trouble
analysis data (TAD)-100.
c. Some DLPs are director level procedures. These procedures
combine the "what to do" with the "how to do" information; for
example, replacing a fan filter in DLP-526.
3. All procedures are listed in numerical order but are not used in numerical
order. A "Numerical List of Procedures" is provided as a reference only
and should not be used alone in finding instructions for performing tasks.
4. Perform all the items in the director level procedure in the suggested order
unless it sends you to another director level procedure. After you have
completed a director level procedure, you have finished the task. Where
more detailed information is required, you will be sent to a Detailed Level
Procedure DLP-( ). Or, you may be sent to a Detailed Level Procedure by
another Detailed Level Procedure.
5. IMPORTANT: When you complete a Detailed Level Procedure, you
MUST return to the procedure (NTP, TAP, or DLP) that sent you there
unless the DLP is a director level procedure; for example, replacing a fan
filter (DLP-526).
6. IMPORTANT: Unless otherwise instructed, if one director level procedure
sends you to another director level procedure, you should not return to the
first director level procedure after you complete the second.
7. Sometimes you will be asked to verify that things have occurred. This may
take the form of a formal statement of the expected response. At other
times, the instructions will merely state
verify that ...
