Security Device
A Security Device comes with each new Option 11C Mini system. Attach the
Security Device to the component side of the MSC card at the time of initial
installation. The Security Device remains on the MSC card for the life of the
system. The Security Device is used for system identification. This device
allows the activation of features assigned to the system, through the use of a
series of keycodes. The system uses keycodes for validation purposes.
Configuring data
The Option 11C Mini provides several options for making data configuration
easier.
Preprogrammed data
When you first install an Option 11C Mini system, you must enter customer
data into the overlay programs. Telephones, for example, must have features
assigned to their keys, in order for them to function correctly. Data can be
preprogrammed. If you load preprogrammed data during the installation
process, the system automatically configures some overlay entries on the
telephones.
If the preprogrammed data does not apply to users at one of the sites, you can
revise the data on-site with a TTY. You can also revise the preprogrammed
data remotely over a modem connection. You can start with a basic
configuration. A basic configuration is the least possible amount of data
required for initial software programming. You must perform this step while
you are working in the Software Installation Program.
Model telephones
You can select many different preprogrammed model telephone layouts.
Technicians can perform some basic steps at installation to activate multiple
telephones, using telephone layouts or templates.
Administration telephones
If you use default model layouts for telephones and trunk routes, use an
administrative telephone to make adjustments to items, such as numbering
plans and access codes. You do not need a TTY input terminal for
programming the Option 11C Mini unless you require a custom layout.
You can use the M2616 and M2008 digital telephones for administrative
functions. The administrative telephone can double as a user's working
telephone.
