The Option 11C is a small wall- or floor-mounted digital system which can
be configured as a system with up to five cabinets.
Up to four expansion cabinets can be connected to the main cabinet using
fiber optic cable or 100BaseT/F cable. The expansion cabinets can be located
up to 3 km (1.8 mi.) from the main cabinet. With the introduction of IP
connectivity, IP expansion cabinets can now be distributed over a campus
data network.
Call processing, serial ports and network traffic are handled by an MC68040
processor located on the Small System Controller (SSC) card in the main
cabinet. Performance is significantly increased in comparison with previous
Option 11 systems.
The Option 11C uses global software found in other members of the Meridian
1 family. It can be configured as a key system or as a Private Branch
Exchange (PBX).
Line cards and trunk cards used in the Option 11C are the same as those used
in other Meridian 1 systems, with the addition of some specially designed
cards used in the Option 11C system.
The Option 11C can be configured as a non-blocking system as it does not
need to be provisioned for speech paths or timeslots.
The system is shipped with a Software Daughterboard which is
pre-configured with system and customer data.
The Software Installation Program is automatically invoked during first-time
installation of the Option 11C system. This is a menu driven program which
installs the software and makes the Option 11C operational.
Model telephones
The user has a variety of pre-programmed model telephone layouts from
which to choose. Using telephone layouts or templates, technicians can
perform a few simple steps at installation to activate multiple telephones.
