Chapter 18 - Connecting The Trunks - Nortel Meridian 1 Planning And Installation Manual

Chapter 18 — Connecting the trunks
This chapter describes how to connect trunks directly to the trunk card, with
or without the use of a Power Failure Transfer Unit (PFTU).
Note: The QUA6 PFTU operates with loop-start and ground-start CO
trunks. However, with ground-start trunks the related telephone set must
have a ground-start button.
During initial software installation on the Option 11C Mini, you can load a
default database, containing preprogrammed trunk data, into software. If
necessary, you can modify the default data at any time to meet the specific
needs of a customer. For a description of how to modify preprogrammed
trunking data, refer to "Appendix C – Preprogrammed data" on page 433 in
this Guide.
Always use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Avoid installing telephone wiring during a lightning storm. Do not
install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is designed for
wet locations. Never touch uninsulated telephone wiring unless the
line is disconnected at the network interface.
