The PARTNER ACS 509 processor module, which contains up to five lines and nine
extensions.
Loudspeaker Paging Line to allow you to connect a loudspeaker paging system to any line
jack on any PARTNER module.
Enhanced backup/restore capabilities to allow you to back up the PARTNER system
programming to either the internal memory of the PARTNER ACS R7.0 processor module or a
PC Card.
An RJ-45 serial port (Admin port) on the PARTNER ACS R7.0 processor module to allow you

external modem that is connected to the Admin port and administer the system via PARTNER
ACS R7.0 PC Administration software.

Modes of Operation

The system supports two modes of operation. The mode of operation determines how users
access outside lines from their telephones:
Key Mode. You access individual outside lines to make and receive calls.
Hybrid Mode. You can access individual outside lines as in Key mode. However, you also can
create up to four groups, or pools, of multiple outside lines. When you access a pool to make a
call, the system selects an available line from the pool. Since multiple lines are associated with
the pool, you do not know which line within the pool is being used to make the call.
System mode is determined by administered information. The system is factory-set for Key mode.
Changing to Hybrid mode requires a system programming change modifying the processor
module. For more information about programming the mode of operation, see
(#198)" on page 4-50.
The mode for your system should be decided before installation. (Changing the system mode after
the system is installed and configured requires significant administration changes to the system
programming.) In Key mode, no outside lines can be pooled, and, in Hybrid mode, lines can be
pooled and individual lines can be assigned directly to line buttons.
