Meridian 1/Succession 1000 switch capacity

The capacity of Communication Control Toolkit is a factor not only of
Communication Control Toolkit itself but also of the physical capacity of the
switch. The call throughput of Communication Control Toolkit depends on the
following factors:
rated capacity of the switch
call complexity
expected call rate
You can use the M1 Switch Capacity Spreadsheet to calculate call throughput
for the Meridian 1/Succession 1000 switch. (This spreadsheet is available from
the Partner Information Center [PIC] web site.)
Rated capacity of the switch
The capacity of the switch is specified as the number of Equivalent Basic Calls
(EBCs) per hour. An EBC is a measure of the switch CPU real time required to
process a Basic Call. A Basic Call is defined as a simple unfeatured call between
two 2500 sets, on the same switch, using a four-digit dialing plan.
The EBC capacity of the switch depends on the processor type, as shown in the
following table:
