Installation
Overview
This guide explains how to install the PARTNER
®
Advanced Communications
System (ACS) Releases 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0 or later. The information applies to all
releases unless otherwise specified.
This guide begins with a sample system setup, then shows the components you
need to install the system and gives general guidelines to consider before
installation. Next, it provides step-by-step instructions for connecting and testing
the components for initial installation and upgrades. Finally, it lists important
system specifications. You should ensure that your installation meets all electrical
and environmental requirements.
If your company already has modular jacks for all outside lines and extensions,
you may be able to use the existing wiring to install the system hardware and
connect telephones to the system yourself. To have a Lucent Technologies
service technician install and customize your system or change existing wiring,
call 800-247-7000 (in the continental U.S. only) or call your Lucent Technologies
Representative or local Authorized Dealer.
After installation, refer to the
PARTNER Advanced Communications System
Programming and Use
guide for programming instructions.
A Sample System Setup
Figure 1 shows a control unit with one PARTNER ACS processor module, one
206, one 308EC, and two 400 modules, giving the system a capacity of 16 outside
lines and 22 extensions. Although your system may differ, this example illustrates
the types of equipment you can connect to it. In the example, system phones and
industry-standard devices are connected to nine extensions. The numbers in the
figure refer to items in the list on the next page, which gives a brief description of
the system’s components.
