INTRODUCTION 

 1.1 INTRODUCTION 

 The Voice Response System or VRS II provides the man in the fieldwith
access 
to 4 TEL, enabling him to make use of the smae facilities available
tothe RSC. 
By means of single pushbutton commands and spoken responses, the faultsmanis 
able to perform line test, interactions and othe rprocedures on the
faulty 
line. 

 1.2 USING VRS II 
Access to VRS II requires the use of a handset with MF facilities. By
dialing 
the appopriate number and entering a unique ID code, the faultsman willbe 
logged into the VSR 11 system. 
By means of a voice synthesiser, VRS II talks to the faultsman, who
is 
then able to chose by means of single MF pushbutton commands from a
menuof 
options. The complete menu can also be spoken to assist new users, whilst 
allowing more experienced users to progress directly with operating
theVRS II 
once they have mastered the simple command structure. 
VRS II can also be used as a completion tool for testing the line once 
repair has been made, and logging it's completion back to the Repair
Centre. 

 1.3 USING THIS MANUEL 
This manuel has been writen with the new user in mind, following each
step 
required to access the VSR II and explaing the commands available to
the 
faultsman at each step. Commands are given in the correct sequence,
andthe 
appropriate voice responses which the faultsman would hear are also
displayed. 
The convention chosen to represent the communication between the user 
and the VSR II is shown on the righthand side of the page in heavy italic 
print. (it's not actually sorry). An example of this is given below:
