Concurrent User Sessions
In order to increase the efficiency of administration and maintenance functions, the DEFINITY ECS switch accommodates multiple concurrent administration and maintenance user sessions. Three or more devices (management terminals or operation support systems) can be connected to the switch to perform adminis- tration and/or maintenance tasks simultaneously. DEFINITY ECS supports eight concurrent administration and maintenance users — five can perform concurrent administration, and three can perform concurrent maintenance. The eight con- current sessions can be in any combination of local and remote connections.
This feature increases the volume of administrative activity that can be performed in a given time period, allowing administrators to handle peak demand more effectively.

DEFINITY ECS includes features that ease, simplify, and accelerate the adminis- tration process from a terminal.
Administration Without Hardware
Administration without hardware gives you the ability to administer station forms without specifying a port location. Administered stations will not cause alarms or errors to be generated when the station is translated but not yet installed. These station types are referred to as “phantom” stations. Phantom extensions can be used for Automatic Call Distribution
Administration Without Hardware also supports the ability to store station tem- plates (models). These can later be used with the duplicate station command to implement many station forms of the same type in the switch.
