Documentation

Click to Access my Documentation Collection

Access you nearly 2 decades of documentation I collected from the infrastructure to the tabletop, hard to find documents where you can feel safe you won’t be spyed on for advertising purposes and the ability to download.

I do not own the rights to the content, and is considered to be fair use in the spirit of the US Copyright laws for educational purposes for personal use only and not for commercial use on production hardware or software.

Not every document I have collected will be on here due to discretion on the fears of violating other’s  intellectual property

if you want specific content removed, just contact telephony at clickford dot net and I will respond within 48 business hours to remove content.

Backstory

The nearly 5 gig folder has lived in many different places but it has been living inside my OS X server instance for the last few years to make it easy to access from any computer on the network to pop up a browser and access it so i don’t have copies of PDFs laying around. While I don’t intend to purge it and rely on the wild Internet, I am just sharing my knowledge and preserve what was online or just hard to find. Again this is not intended for professional use.

Guidance

It’s basic HTML

For most audiences (virtually all), the documents are listed like a directory tree on a modern Web browser. Each folder (or subdirectory) features various types of equipment or practices from Bell System. For the sake of your operating system and your eyes, the PDF documents are single-phrased to prevent errors downloading docs with spaces.

The folders are broken up by Infrastructure (the PBX types of systems IP and legacy devices and brains), SalesNMarketing implies marketing and other collateral material, Bell System Practices indicates antiquated  documentation from The Phone Company, and a separate directory for the single line, “land line” home phones.

Adobe PDF created; but if you don’t have Acrobat Reader, don’t worry – it’s not 2003 anymore!

Assuming the audience are using 2026 era web browsers, you do not need Adobe Acrobat Reader anymore (and why should you since it sucks all your personal data for to train their AI bots?) If you’re offline, you can open it and the browser will display it.

Case Sensitive

The Internet is case sensitive, so accessing any materials by memory would have to be perfect capitalization. The official landing page on this WordPress site if you forgot where you are and wanting to start over
