Power Equipment - Nortel 1000M Overview

Meridian attendant consoles support attendant message center options.
The attendant console can be connected to a PC to provide electronic
directory, dial-by-name, and text messaging functions. All call processing
features can be accessed using the computer keyboard.

Power equipment

Large Systems provide a modular power distribution architecture.
Each column includes:
•
•
•
•
Each module includes:
•
•
All options are available in both AC-power and DC-power versions.
The selection of an AC- or DC-powered system is determined primarily
by reserve power requirements and existing power equipment at the
installation site.
Although AC-powered and DC-powered systems have different internal
power components, the internal architecture is virtually identical. AC- and
DC-powered systems differ primarily in the external power components.
AC power
AC-powered systems require no external power components and can
plug directly into commercial AC (utility) power. AC-powered systems are
especially suitable for applications that do not require reserve power. They
are also recommended systems that require reserve power with backup
times ranging from 15 minutes to 8 hours.
If reserve power is required with an AC-powered system, an
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), along with its associated batteries
(either internal or external to the unit), is installed in series with the AC
power source (see
