An Example System Setup - Lucent Technologies PARTNER Advanced Communications System Release 1.0 Installation Manual

An Example System Setup

The next page shows a control unit with one PARTNER
Advanced Communications System (ACS) processor
module, two 206 modules and two 400 modules, giving the
system a capacity of 15 outside lines and 20 extensions.
Although your system may differ, this example will give you
an idea of the types of equipment you can connect to it. In
the example, system phones and industry-standard devices
are connected to nine extensions. The circled numbers in
the figure refer to items in the following list, which gives a
brief description of the system's components.
Control Unit
The control unit consists of these components:
1
5-Slot Carrier. The carrier channels power to the
system and connects the system modules.
2 206 Modules. Each 206 module has jacks for two lines
and six extensions.
3
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.
4 PARTNER ACS Processor Module. The processor
module contains the software that provides the system's
features, and has jacks for three lines and eight
extensions. It also has CONTACT CLOSURE, SMDR,
PAGE, and MUSIC ON HOLD jacks.
5 CONTACT CLOSURE Jack. A Contact Closure Adjunct
plugs directly into this modular jack. Up to two Contact
Closure devices such as door locks can be wired to the
Adjunct, and users at extensions can control the devices.
6 SMDR Jack. A call reporting (or SMDR–Station
Message Detail Recording) device connects directly to
this jack. Lucent Technologies' Call Accounting
Terminal serial printer and box are shown here.
7 PAGE Jack. A loudspeaker paging system plugs
directly into this modular jack. The system is compatible
with any Lucent Technologies paging system.
8 Line Jacks. The top two jacks on each 206 module,
three jacks on the ACS module, and all four jacks on
each 400 module, connect to outside telephone lines.
MUSIC ON HOLD Jack. Lucent Technologies' Magic on
9
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).
If you use equipment that rebroadcasts music or other
copyrighted materials, you are required to obtain a
license. For more information, see "Music-on-Hold Audio
Source" later in this guide.
Power LED. The power LED lights when the module is
10
receiving power.
11 Extension Jacks. The bottom six jacks on each 206
module and the bottom eight jacks on the ACS module
connect inside wiring for telephones and other
telecommunications equipment.
12
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 in the control unit.

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.
13 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
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.
14
Extension 11: PARTNER-34D Display Phone.
Another PARTNER-34D is connected to programming
extension 11. You can program the system from this
extension, leaving the receptionist at extension 10 free to
handle calls.
15 Extension 12: PARTNER-6 Phone and Answering
Machine. A PARTNER-6 phone and an answering
machine are connected to this extension.
16 Extension 13: Standard Phone. A standard phone
(such as you might have in your home) is connected
directly to the extension jack.
17 Extension 14: Doorphone. A doorphone is installed at
the building entrance. When someone presses the
button on the doorphone, the designated extensions
signal. (Any number of extensions can be designated as
doorphone alert extensions. For this example, extension
16 is the doorphone alert extension.)
Extension 15: Bell. A loud bell is connected directly to
18
this extension jack. Any line programmed to ring on
extension 15 activates the loud bell—to alert users of an
incoming call in a large area, such as a warehouse.
Extension 16: PARTNER-18D Display Phone. This
19
phone has a display like the PARTNER-34D phone. For
this example, this is the doorphone alert extension and
the Contact Closure-enabled extension—when someone
presses the doorphone button, this phone signals and
the user can press a button on the phone to release the
door lock.
Extension 17: Fax Machine and Standard Phone. A
20
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 Advanced
Communications System Programming and Use guide.)
Extension 18: MDW 9030P Pocketphone. This
21
wireless phone is lightweight and portable.
