Welcome

This quick reference is designed to help you program the PARTNER® Advanced Communications System (ACS). It provides procedures for customizing your system after it is initially installed and for programming everyday tasks you perform in order to manage your system.

Prior to using this guide, you should become familiar with the PARTNER Advanced Communications System Installation, Programming, and Use guide, which describes the system in detail and provides procedures for programming all of the system’s features and capabilities.

This chapter provides a system overview that describes the capacities, modes of operation, components, and auxiliary equipment of the system.

System Overview

The PARTNER ACS is located on a company’s premises and is available in three configurations:

•Stand-alone processor module

•2-slot carrier (processor module and one line and extension module)

•5-slot carrier (processor module and up to four line and extension modules)

You also can have a PARTNER Messaging or PARTNER MAIL VS module for voice messaging in the 2-slot or 5-slot carriers. This takes the place of a line and extension module.
