Control Unit Configuration

Planning Module Placement

Control Unit Configuration

After you have completed the preplanning tasks described in
You Begin," you can plan the control unit configuration. Planning the control unit
configuration consists of the following tasks:
Planning Module Placement. Calculate the system's line/trunk and
extension capacity according to the number of module types; then map out
the placement of the modules on the Control Unit Diagram.
Recording System Operating Conditions. Note the system's type of
programming equipment, it's mode and language choice, and whether the
Automatic Maintenance Busy feature is to be enabled or disabled.
Numbering the System. Decide the order in which to connect the
telephones and other equipment to the control unit based on the
customer's needs and applications. Determine whether the system-
assigned extension numbers are appropriate for the customer's business
or if they need to be renumbered.
This chapter contains instructions for completing each of these tasks.
Planning Module Placement
In addition to the processor module and power supply module, the system
supports several types of line/trunk and extension modules. Deciding how to
place the modules in the carriers consists of the following tasks:
Calculating the system's line/trunk capacity according to module types.
Calculating the system's extension capacity according to module types.
Mapping out module placement on the Control Unit Diagram, according to
specific guidelines.
