Circuit Pack Administration

After the equipment is installed (including circuit packs), the circuit packs must be administered. Refer to DEFINITY Enterprise Communications Server Release 6 Administration and Feature Description for more information.

The following information describes general administration information:

■Use the Circuit Packs form to administer circuit packs to carrier slots. The circuit packs must be installed (or assigned using the Circuit Packs form) before administering voice terminals, attendant consoles, or trunks.

■Each page of the form represents 1 carrier in the cabinet shown on the command line. For Release 6si, all carriers and slots appear even if they are not included in the hardware.

■It is not necessary to fill in the Circuit Packs form if the circuit packs are installed at the time of administration.

■Refer to DEFINITY Communications System Generic 3 Planning and Configuration, 555-230-601, for more information about circuit pack administration and port assignment records.

■For initial installation, assign circuit packs to slots using the hardware configuration layout record from the factory or Customer Services Organization. Do not arbitrarily assign circuit packs to slots.

■For Release 6r, if the carrier type administered on the Cabinet Administration form does not match the physical hardware, question marks (??) may display in the Code fields.

■When a circuit pack in a slot differs from what has been administered on the form, a “#” displays between the “Sfx” and “Name” fields.

■For Release 6r, the number of slot fields displayed represents administrable slots for the given carrier type. For Release 6si configurations, all slot fields are displayed.
