System Capacity - Avaya PARTNER ACS Installation And Use Manual

®
PARTNER Advanced Communications System Installation, Programming, and Use
In Hybrid mode, extension 10 always operates like an extension in Key mode. This means that
every outside line in the system is associated with a specific line button at extension 10.
All other extensions can be set up with access to only lines, only pools, or a combination of lines
and pools:
Those extensions that have pool buttons, even if they also have individual line buttons, are
I
called pooled extensions.
Those extensions that have only line buttons (including extension 10) are called key
I
extensions. Key extensions cannot access pools.
If your system is configured for Hybrid mode, keep in mind:
A line can be assigned to only one pool.
I
Individual extensions can be restricted access to specific pools.
I
Individual lines can be assigned to an extension with pool buttons as long as the lines are not
I
part of any pool.
At installation, the system assigns all outside lines to the main pool and assigns the main pool to
the two leftmost buttons on the bottom row of all system telephones, except extension 10. If
desired, you can remove some of the lines from the main pool and create auxiliary pools. Then,
you can assign pools and/or individual lines on a per extension basis.

System Capacity

The PARTNER ACS release you have, the carrier you use, and the combination of modules
installed, determine the number of available lines and extensions:
PARTNER ACS Release 1.0 and 1.1 systems allow up to 15 lines and up to 32 extensions;
I
however, these maximums cannot be achieved simultaneously.
