Insert the Software Delivery card in the socket (slot A) located on the
faceplate of the MSC card. When inserted, you can load software and
customer databases from the Software Delivery card to the MSC card.
Security Device
A Security Device is provided with each new Option 11C Mini system. The
installer attaches 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. If you wish, 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
There are many different preprogrammed model telephone layouts from
which to choose. Technicians can perform some basic steps at installation to
activate multiple telephones, using telephone layouts or templates.
