Cabinet concept

The Meridian SL-100 system cabinet structure consists of basic hardware
switching modules mounted in 1.8 m (6 ft.) gray or brown cabinets.
Modular design
Modular design techniques are used in the development of both the software
and hardware. Modularity can be thought of as the implementation of a
complex system through a set of functional units or modules connected by
well-defined interfaces. As a result of proper module and interface design,
the various units can be connected, disconnected, modified or improved
without affecting either the operation of the other modules in the system
or the system as a whole.
This modularity gives the system flexibility in physical layout and function,
in providing special features and in system expansion. The cabinetized
Meridian SL-100 can be adapted to specific customer line, trunk and service
circuit requirements through additional engineering.
