POWER FAILURE TERMINALS
4.16.1 Power Failure (Figure 4-37)
The system allows connection for basic telephone service during a power failure. The power failure
operation occurs during a commercial power failure, and is not affected by blade failure. Power Failure
Transfer is provided by connecting to the COIU blade.
The 4COIU blade provides 2 Power Failure Transfer circuits. The CN3 connector provides connection to 2
analog trunk ports, which are polarity sensitive (tip to tip, ring to ring). The power failure circuits,
however, are not polarity sensitive. A maximum of 25 4COIU blades per system is allowed.
