An Example System Setup
The next page shows a control unit with two 206 modules and
three 400 modules, giving the system a capacity of 16 out-
side lines and 12 extensions. Although your system may
differ, this example will give you an idea of the types of
equipment you can connect to it. System phones and
standard devices are connected to ten extensions. The
circled numbers in the figure refer to the following list, which
gives a brief description of the system's components.
Control Unit
The control unit shows both the primary and the expansion
carriers, including these components:
Backplanes. The backplanes channel power to the
system and connect the system modules.
206 Modules. Each 206 module has jacks for two lines
and six extensions.
400 Modules. Each 400 module provides four line jacks
but no extensions. Notice that the 400 modules are
installed to the right of the 206 modules.
Grounding Screw. Attaches #12 AWG or #14 AWG
solid copper wire to an approved earth ground.
Primary Processor Module. The primary processor
module contains the software that provides the system's
features. It also has PAGE, SMDR, and MUSIC ON
HOLD jacks. (See 5 below.)
Expansion Processor Module. The expansion
processor module extends the primary processor
module's software intelligence to the modules in the
expansion carrier.
PAGE Jack. A loudspeaker paging system plugs
directly into this modular jack. The system is compatible
with any Lucent Technologies paging system, including
the Lucent Technologies PagePac6® shown here.
SMDR Jack. A call reporting (or SMDR—Station
Message Detail Recording) device connects directly to
this jack. Lucent Technologies' Call Accounting Terminal
is shown here.
MUSIC ON HOLD Jack. Lucent Technologies' Magic on
Hold® is connected to this jack to provide customized
music and messages for callers on hold. Other types of
audio equipment* (including a CD player, cassette
player, or stereo receiver) can be connected using an
audio cord with an RCA phono plug (not supplied).
Line Jacks. The top two jacks on each 206 module, and
all four jacks on each 400 module, connect to outside
telephone lines.
Extension Jacks. The bottom six jacks on each 206
module connect inside wiring for telephones and other
telecommunications equipment.
Network Interface Jacks. These jacks provide access
to telephone lines from the local telephone company.
Each outside line is connected to the system by
plugging one end of the line cord into one of these jacks,
and the other end into a line jack on a 206 or 400 module.
Expansion Cable. The expansion cable connects the
primary processor module to the expansion processor
module.
* If you use equipment that rebroadcasts music or other copy-
righted materials, you may be required to obtain a license from
a third party such as ASCAP or BMI. The Magic on Hold system
does not require such a license. For more information, see
"Music-on-Hold Audio Source" later in this guide.

An Example System Setup
Extensions
Various devices—including system phones and industry-
standard devices—can be connected to the modular wall
jacks. The modular wall jacks connect to the extension jacks
in the control unit by way of the building's inside wiring.
Extension 10: These devices are connected:
PARTNER-34D Display Phone. Typically, the
receptionist at extension 10 has a PARTNER-34D
display phone like the one shown here. The display
shows the time, dialed numbers, the duration of calls,
and programming messages.
A display phone is required for system programming
at extension 10 or 11, or both. You can use an
18-button display phone only if there are no 34-button
display phones in the system.
PARTNER-CA48 Call Assistant™ Intercom
Autodialer. An Intercom Autodialer is connected to
the phone to dial extensions and transfer calls to them
with one touch and to see which extensions are busy.
Standard Touch-Tone Phone. During a power
failure, the PARTNER-34D phone on extension 10 will
not work, but the receptionist can use the standard
phone to place and receive calls on line 1.
Extension 11: PARTNER-34D Display Phone. Another
PARTNER-34D is connected to programming extension
11. You can program the system from this extension
while the receptionist at extension 10 is free to handle
calls.
Extension 12: PARTNER-18D Display Phone. This
display phone can handle 16 outside lines.
Extension 13: Bell. A loud bell is connected directly to
this extension jack. Any line programmed to ring on
extension 13 activates the loud bell—to alert users of an
incoming call in a large area, such as a warehouse.
Extension 14: PARTNER-18 Phone. This phone is
similar to the PARTNER-18D phone (see Extension 12),
but it has no display.
Extension 15: Doorphone. A doorphone is installed at
the building entrance. When someone at the entrance
presses the button on the doorphone, the designated
extensions in the office signal automatically. (Any
number of extensions can be designated as doorphone
alert extensions.)
Extension 16: Standard Phone. A standard touch-tone
phone (such as you might have in your home) is
connected directly to the extension jack.
Extension 17: MDC 9000 Cordless Phone. This
cordless phone works like the corded PARTNER-6 phone.
Extension 18: Fax Machine and Standard Phone. A
fax machine and standard phone share this extension.
This lets you have the use of another phone when the fax
machine is idle. (You can use a system phone at
another extension to monitor fax machine activity—see
"Fax Management Feature" under "Using Fax Machines"
in Chapter 4 of the PARTNER II Communications System
Programming and Use guide.)
Extension 19: PARTNER-6 Phone and Answering
Machine. A PARTNER-6 phone and an answering
machine are connected to this extension.
