NOTE:
ACS Release 3.0 includes a PARTNER Remote Access PC Card, which
allows the user to administer the system remotely1 and perform backup and
restore functions. The PARTNER Remote Access PC Card is a PCMCIA
card, which can also be used to upgrade previous versions of PARTNER
ACS to Release 3.0.
!WARNING:
Remove all other PC Cards from the processor before initiating an upgrade.
This chapter provides general information about programming procedures. When
a specific feature name is used, it is printed in bold type. For detailed descriptions
and step-by-step instructions, refer to that name in Chapter 5. (A Programming
Quick Reference is provided at the end of this book.)
Hardware Considerations
Programming procedures use line and extension numbers. The line nu mber
represents the line jack on a 200, 206, 308EC, or 400 module or an ACS
processor module to which the outside line is connected. Similarly, the extension
number represents the extension jack on a 206 or 308EC module or an ACS
processor module to which the system phone or standard device is co nnected.
For the 200 module, the system assigns two lines.
For each 206 module, the system assigns two lines and six extensions ; for the
308EC or ACS processor module, the system assigns three lines and eight
extensions; for each 400 module, the system assigns four lines. The system
numbers lines and extensions consecutively from left to right in a 2-S lot carrier,
beginning with the ACS processor module in the leftmost slot; in a 5-Sl ot carrier,
the numbering also begins with the ACS processor module (in the center slot),
and then moves to the
leftmost
module and continues consecutively from left to
right.
Figure 2-1 shows the numbering scheme for a PARTNER ACS stand-alone
configuration, for a 2-Slot carrier, and for a 5-Slot carrier, each with the system
configured for maximum
lines
. Figure 2-2 shows the numbering scheme for a
PARTNER ACS stand-alone configuration, for a 2-Slot carrier, and for a 5-Slot
carrier, each with the system configured for maximum
extensions
. However, your
system can have any number of lines or extensions up to the maximum.
