vintage, software vintage, and ROM ID for each module) that your technical

Unit Loads
A unit load is a measure of power (1.9 watts) used to determine the electrical
load that the following components have on each carrier's power supply:
Telephones and adjuncts
Direct-Inward Dial (DID) modules
Only the telephones and adjuncts that connect to the analog and digital ports on
the control unit require unit load calculation. Do not include any equipment with
its own power supply (for example, an answering machine) in the unit load
calculation.
Checking Unit Loads
In the event of maintenance or equipment changes, recalculate the unit loads
for each carrier where there is a different configuration. Use the worksheet in
Appendix C, ''Unit Load Calculation
Generally, if you can distribute the DID modules and telephone modules equally
across the carriers, you prevent unnecessary drain on any one carrier.
The rules vary, however, depending on the system's mode. The next two
sections provide the rules for calculating unit loads in various modes.
in Chapter 2, which explains how to access the System
Worksheet''.
