Meridian America 21, 51, 61, 71 General

General

The selection of a system option that best meets individual requirements is

determined by the following factors:

Number and type of terminal devices required

Number and type of trunks required

Traffic requirements for lines, trunks and consoles

Special features required

Growth forecast in terms of ports and features

Refer to

System engineering

(553-3001-151) and

Power engineering

(553-3001-152) to determine the proper system requirement.

Equipment packages

There are various equipment packages available to provide basic systems.

Information on these packages can be obtained from a Northern Telecom

sales office.

Conversion and expansion packages

In addition to the basic equipment packages, there are conversion and

expansion packages available to upgrade existing systems. Contact a

Northern Telecom sales office for details.
