Plan and Prepare the Site 2

This chapter describes tasks required to plan, prepare, and provision the site depending upon which DEFINITY System Generic 3 was ordered. Perform the following:

■Check the customer’s order.

■Locate and lay out the equipment room.

■Lay out and ensure appropriate power.

■Lay out and ensure appropriate grounding.

■Determine location of equipment closets.

■Determine location of external trunk lines.

■Create a provisioning plan.

Check the Customer’s Order

Determine what was ordered for the customer: DEFINITY System Generic 3, the number of cabinets, port networks, management terminals, adjuncts, consoles, telephones, modems, external trunks, etc.

NOTE:

One port network is equivalent to one single-carrier-cabinet stack. Throughout this document, “cabinet” sometimes refers to one single-carrier cabinet and sometimes refers to one stack of single-carrier cabinets, according to the context. An attempt has been made to use “single-carrier cabinet (SCC)” to mean exactly that and to use the more general term, “cabinet,” to mean a stack of one or more single-carrier cabinets or a port network. A “system” is one or more single carrier cabinet stacks.
