    The PARTNER ACS can operate in two modes, Key and Hybrid, and can also operate as part of a Centrex system. With the system in Hybrid mode, you can group lines into pools to provide easier trunk selection and simpler call answering.
  • Page 14: Structure Of The Book

    Chapter 9, Using Auxiliary Equipment—intended primarily for technicians and the System Administrator, describes typical equipment that is supported by the PARTNER ACS, including voice messaging systems. Chapter 10, Upgrading the System—explains how the system software and hardware can be upgraded as new modules and releases become available.

  • Page 16: Key Mode

    ® PARTNER Advanced Communications System Installation, Programming, and Use Key Mode When the system operates in Key mode, individual outside lines are assigned to users’ extensions for making and receiving calls. At extensions with system telephones, each individual line (Line 1, Line 2, Line 3, etc.) assigned to the extension is represented by its own line button.
  • Page 17: System Capacity

    The PARTNER ACS release you have, the carrier you use, and the combination of modules installed, determine the number of available lines and extensions: PARTNER ACS Release 7.0 systems allow up to 31 lines and up to 48 extensions; however, these maximums cannot be achieved simultaneously.
  • Page 18 012E modules In Release 7.0, the system extension maximum is 48. However, in some configurations, the 012E module and/or the PARTNER Messaging module will physically permit more than 48 stations to be installed in the 5-slot carrier. In these configurations, only station ports and voice messaging ports up to 48 will function.
