What precautionary messages mean
The types of precautionary messages used in Northern Telecom (Nortel)
documents include attention boxes and danger, warning, and caution
messages.
An attention box identifies information that is necessary for the proper
performance of a procedure or task or the correct interpretation of information
or data. Danger, warning, and caution messages indicate possible risks.
Examples of the precautionary messages follow.
ATTENTION Information needed to perform a task
CAUTION Possibility of service interruption or degradation
ATTENTION
If the unused DS-3 ports are not deprovisioned before a DS-1/VT Mapper
is installed, the DS-1 traffic will not be carried through the DS-1/VT
Mapper, even though the DS-1/VT Mapper is properly provisioned.
CAUTION
Possible loss of service
Before continuing, confirm that you are removing the card
from the inactive unit of the peripheral module. Subscriber
service will be lost if you remove a card from the active unit.
