Administering the Circuit Packs
After the equipment is installed (including circuit packs), the circuit packs must be administered. This
section provides brief information about:
• Administration Commands on page 449
• Change Circuit Packs Form on page 450
• Change Circuit Pack Form Implementation Notes on page 451
Refer to the Administrator’s Guide for Avaya Communication Manager (555-233-506) for more
information.
In general:
• Use the Circuit Packs screen to administer circuit packs to carrier slots. The circuit packs must be
installed (or assigned using the Circuit Packs form) before administering voice terminals,
attendant consoles, or trunks.
• Each page represents one carrier in the cabinet shown on the command line. All carriers and slots
appear even if they are not included in the hardware.
• It is not necessary to fill in the Circuit Packs screen if the circuit packs are installed at the time of
administration.
• For initial installation, assign circuit packs to slots using the hardware configuration layout record
from the factory or Customer Services Organization. Do not arbitrarily assign circuit packs to
slots.
• For r: If the carrier type administered on the Cabinet Administration form does not match the
physical hardware, question marks (
??) may display in the Code fields.
For si: When a circuit pack in a slot differs from what has been administered on the form,
#
displays between the Sfx and Name fields.

type.
For si: All slot fields are displayed.
