Security Device

A Security Device comes with each new Option 11C Mini system. Attach the Security Device to the component side of the MSC card at the time of initial installation. The Security Device remains on the MSC card for the life of the system. The Security Device is used for system identification. This device allows the activation of features assigned to the system, through the use of a series of keycodes. The system uses keycodes for validation purposes.

Configuring data

The Option 11C Mini provides several options for making data configuration easier.

Preprogrammed data

When you first install an Option 11C Mini system, you must enter customer data into the overlay programs. Telephones, for example, must have features assigned to their keys, in order for them to function correctly. Data can be preprogrammed. If you load preprogrammed data during the installation process, the system automatically configures some overlay entries on the telephones.

If the preprogrammed data does not apply to users at one of the sites, you can revise the data on-site with a TTY. You can also revise the preprogrammed data remotely over a modem connection. You can start with a basic configuration. A basic configuration is the least possible amount of data required for initial software programming. You must perform this step while you are working in the Software Installation Program.

Model telephones

You can select many different preprogrammed model telephone layouts. Technicians can perform some basic steps at installation to activate multiple telephones, using telephone layouts or templates.

Administration telephones

If you use default model layouts for telephones and trunk routes, use an administrative telephone to make adjustments to items, such as numbering plans and access codes. You do not need a TTY input terminal for programming the Option 11C Mini unless you require a custom layout.

You can use the M2616 and M2008 digital telephones for administrative functions. The administrative telephone can double as a user’s working telephone.
