You also reserve station jacks for any devices such as data
NOTE:
modules, modems, and BTMIs that are used for local host computer
access and outgoing and incoming modem pools. "Reserving Jacks
for Computer Access and Modem Pools, " which follows, explains
how to plan for these data options.
The"Station Jacks" section of the Master Planning Form lists the numbers (01
through 88] for all possible station jacks on the control unit. You record the
jack type for each station jack on the modules in your control unit: "A" for
analog, "D" for digital, or "B" for basic telephone. Next you identify by
person, location (such as "mail room"), or function (such as "incoming
modem pool") the station connected to each station jack on your control unit.
The first step in filling out the "Station Jacks" section of the Master Planning
Form is to identify the type of jack that each station number represents. The
Module Location drawing shows the order in which modules containing
analog, digital, and/or basic telephone station jacks are installed in your
control unit. Keep in mind that station jacks on these modules are numbered
from the bottom to the top of each module and from left to right across the
control unit.
You'll note that the first eight jacks are already identified with an "A" on the
form. This is because the module in slot 1 must be a 4-Line/8-Analog Voice
Terminal (408) module or an 8-Analog Voice Terminal (008) Module.
In the "Jack Type" column, record the jack type for each station jack o
your control unit: "A" for analog, "D" for digital, or "B" for basic
telephone.
