• Numbering requirements
• Features to be supported
6.1.1 Number and type of systems to be networked
Determine the number of nodes and ascertain whether the use of a virtual PINX
(Centrex) is appropriate:
• What locations are there?
• Which locations are to be networked?
• Is a separate system required for each location?
• What is the optimum number of nodes for each location? Would it make sense
to integrate a down-circuit cordless system?
• What types of system are the best suited?
• Which systems are to be networked and how (virtual, fixed)?
• Would it make sense to integrate a Centrex solution? (A Centrex solution may
make sense if, for example, some of the subscribers are separated by long dis-
tances.)
6.1.2 Past traffic volume
Over a representative period analyse the call logging values for the traffic volume
between the locations using the previous solution.
• How high is the traffic volume?
• How is spread out over time?
• Are there bottlenecks or restrictions?
Estimate together with the customer how much the traffic volume is set to
change in general with the new solution.
