Feature Packages 
The 
SLC
 Series 5 Carrier System offers several feature package configurations. 
The choice of feature package is determined by the bank control unit (BCU) and 
alarm display unit (ADU), and supporting common units. Option settings on the 
ADU also determine the feature package configuration. Feature packages are 
abbreviated when referred to in text (for example FPC = Feature Package C). 
The following is a summary of 
SLC
 Series 5 Carrier System feature packages. 
■
FPA – FPA has been rated DA (discontinued availability) and provides 
POTS service only. 
■
FPB – FPB provides a TR-08* interface that can be universal (
SLC
 96 
COT), 
*
integrated (TR-08 digital switch), Mode 1 or Mode 2 (
SLC
 96 
modes, unconcentrated or concentrated), and provides special services. 
The service capabilities of FPB are abbreviated in text as follows: 
■ FPB/[U or I] — U for universal, I for integrated 
■ FPB/[U or I]/[M1 or M2]/ — M1 for Mode 1, M2 for Mode 2 
■ FPB/[SS]/[U or I]/[M1 or M2]/ — SS for special services. 
■

be cutover to FPB/SS/I/M1 without requiring dispatch to the RT site.
