. Modular, task-based information Modular, task-based information (MTBI) is a quick reference for using the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series task-based documentation. MTBI describes the structure of task-based information and how it can be used most effectively.
Modular, task-based information How to use task-based documentation In task-based documentation, procedural information is included in the document. Conceptual and reference information is provided, and the user is guided on how to use conceptual and reference material by identified prerequisites or direct links and references. The user navigates the information by following the flows that are provided for tasks and procedures.
Work flows, task flows, and procedures 27 The task flows guide you through activities to use the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series, whether it is configuration, upgrading, installation, maintenance, or troubleshooting. Each flow provides the prerequisites and links to the tasks or procedures. To perform or refer to a procedure, always follow the task flow. Following the task flows ensures that you meet all the requirements for successful completion of the task.
Modular, task-based information Procedure steps Procedures provide numerical steps that help you perform the procedure. Each step is a single action. Example procedures Some procedures use examples to show how to correctly perform the procedure with realistic settings. Variable definitions Variable definitions provide the possible values, ranges, or definitions of variables used in the procedure steps. If variables are not used in the procedure, then the variables definition section is omitted.
