Security of Your System—Preventing Toll Fraud
As a customer of a new telephone system, you should be aware that there exists an
increasing problem of telephone toll fraud. Telephone toll fraud can occur in many
forms, despite the numerous efforts of telephone companies and telephone equipment
manufacturers to control it. Some individuals use electronic devices to prevent or
falsify records of these calls. Others charge calls to someone else’s number by
illegally using lost or stolen calling cards, billing innocent parties, clipping on to
someone else’s line, and breaking into someone else’s telephone equipment physically
or electronically. in certain instances, unauthorized individuals make connections to
the telephone network through the use of remote access features.
The Remote Access feature of your system, if you choose to use it, permits offpremises callers to access the system from a remote telephone by using an 800
number or a 7- or 10-digit telephone number. The system returns an
acknowledgement signaling the user to key in his or her authorization code, which is
selected and administered by the system manager. After the authorization code is
accepted, the system returns dial tone to the user. If you do not program specific
egress restrictions, the user will be able to place any call normally dialed from a
telephone associated with the system. Such an off-premises network call is originated
at, and will be billed from the system location.
The Remote Access feature, as designed, helps the customer, through proper
administration, to minimize the ability of unauthorized persons to gain access to the
network. Most commonly, phone numbers and codes are compromised when
overheard in a public location, through theft of a wallet or purse containing access
information, or through carelessness (writing codes on a piece of paper and improperly
discarding it). Additionally, hackers may use a computer to dial an access code and
then publish the information to other hackers. Enormous charges can be run up
quickly. It is the customer’s responsibility to take the appropriate steps to properly
implement the features, evaluate and administer the various restriction levels, protect
access codes, and distribute access codes only to individuals who have been fully
advised of the sensitive nature of the access information.
Common carriers are required by law to collect their tariffed charges. While these
charges are fraudulent charges made by persons with criminal intent, applicable tariffs
state that the customer of record is responsible for payment of all long-distance or
other network charges. AT&T cannot be responsible for such charges and will not
make any allowance or give any credit for charges that result from unauthorized
access.

To minimize the risk of unauthorized access to your communications system:
■
Use a nonpublished Remote Access number.
Assign authorization codes randomly to users on a need-to-have basis,
■
keeping a log of ALL authorized users and assigning one code to one person.
Use random sequence authorization codes, which are less likely to be easily
■
broken.
■
Deactivate all unassigned codes promptly.
Ensure that Remote Access users are aware of their responsibility to keep the
■
telephone number and any authorization codes secure.
When possible, restrict the off-network capability of off-premises callers, via
■
use of Call Restrictions and Disallowed List capabilities.
When possible, block out-of-hours calling.
■
Frequently monitor system call detail reports for quicker detection of any
■
unauthorized or abnormal calling patterns.
■
Limit Remote Call Forward to persons on a need-to-have basis.

If you have not read Chapter 1, do so before continuing with any instructions
in this chapter.
Overview
Installing the control unit involves the following, which this chapter describes
in detail:
1. Installing the backboard
2. Meeting the power and grounding requirements
3. Checking the total unit load
4. Installing the basic carrier
5. Installing any expansion carriers specified for the system
6. Installing the power supply
7. Installing the processor
8. Installing the trunk/station modules
These are referred to as modules throughout this guide.
Overview 2-1
Installing the Control Unit
9. Connecting the control unit to AC power
10. Powering up the system
11. Powering down the system
Be sure to follow these procedures in the order specified.
Preparation
The control unit must be installed on a backboard, which may already be
installed. If so, skip to the section, “Power and Grounding.”
If backboard installation is your responsibility, follow the procedures in this
section.
Environment
The placement of the control unit requires careful consideration. Make sure
you install the backboard in an area that meets all of the environmental
In most cases, electrical noise is introduced to the system through trunk or
telephone cables. However, electromagnetic fields near the control unit may
also induce noise in the system. Therefore, the control unit and cable runs
should not be placed in areas where a high electromagnetic field strength
exists.
Preparation 2-3
Installing the Control Unit
Radio transmitters (AM or FM), television stations, induction heaters, motors
(with commutators) of 0.25 horsepower (200 watts) or greater, and similar
equipment are leading causes of interference. Small tools with universal
motors are generally not a problem when they operate on separate power
lines. Motors without commutators generally do not cause interference.
Field strengths below 1.0 volt per meter are unlikely to cause interference.
The field strength produced by radio transmitters can be estimated by
dividing the square root of the emitted power in kilowatts by the distance from
the antenna in kilometers. This yields the approximate field strength in volts
per meter and is relatively accurate for distances greater than about half a
wavelength (492 ft, or 150 m, for a frequency of 1000 Hz). See the Customer
Support Information in the beginning of this guide for FCC Part 15 radio
frequency regulations.

Power and Grounding
Installing the Control Unit
Grounding Requirements
Proper grounding of the installation site safeguards system functioning by
protecting the system from the following:
■ lightning
■ power surges
■ power crosses on central office trunks
■ electrostatic discharge (ESD)
When installing the control unit, make sure that you meet the following
grounding requirements:
The control unit, the central office trunk protector, and the AC power
■
service panel should be as close to each other as possible.
Because equipment can be located throughout a building, the National
■
Electrical Code requires that the ground point for the central office
trunk protector be bonded to the AC power ground as shown in
Figure 2-3.
The AC outlet and the single-point ground bar must be properly
■
grounded as shown earlier in Figure 2-1.
■
Each power supply in the control unit must be connected to the
single-point ground bar by a #12 AWG or a #14 AWG solid copper
wire. Figures 2-1 and 2-3 show this connection.
This wire run should be as short as possible, preferably within 5 ft
(152 cm), not to exceed 10 ft (305 cm). This procedure is described
later in this chapter under “Providing the Proper Grounding.”
The AC outlet must be connected to the 147A protector with #12 AWG

WARNING:
Improper ground can cause equipment failures, service outages,
and electrical shock. Verify that the AC power uses an approved
ground for its primary ground, that all voltage-limiting devices are
grounded to an approved ground, and that the ground is one of the
approved grounds listed below.
Approved Grounds
The following is a list of approved grounds, starting with the most preferred:
■ building steel
■ acceptable water pipe—must be a metal, underground water pipe at
least ½-inch (30.4 cm) in diameter, and in direct contact with the earth
for at least 10 ft (3 m).
It must be electrically continuous so that the protector ground is
connected. (Check for insulated joints, plastic pipe, and plastic water
meters that might interrupt electrical continuity.)
A metallic underground water pipe must be supplemented by the
metal frame of the building, a concrete-encased ground, or a ground
ring. If these grounds are not available, the water pipe ground can be
supplemented by one of the following types of grounds:
—
other local metal underground systems or structures—local
underground structures such as tanks and piping systems
— rod and pipe electrodes—a 5/8 -inch (1.6-cm) solid rod or
¾-inch (1.9-cm) conduit or pipe electrode driven to a minimum
depth of 8 ft (244 cm)
— plate electrode—a minimum of 2 square ft (61 square cm) of
metallic surface exposed to the exterior soil
Power and Grounding
2-13
Installing the Control Unit
■ concrete-encased ground—must be an electrode, consisting of one of
the following:
—
at least 20 ft (6.1 m) of one or more steel reinforcing rods, each
being at least ½-inch (1.27 cm) in diameter
— 20 ft (6.1 m) of bare copper conductor not smaller than
#4 AWG, encased in 2 inches (5 cm) of concrete.
— This electrode must be located within and near the bottom of a
concrete foundation or footing that is in direct contact with the

Check these requirements with a simple, visual inspection; if you
cannot verify that the central office grounding requirements are met,
contact the central office. Do not connect the centrai office trunks
until you are ceflain that these requirements are met.
Heavy Lightning Protection
For most surges, adequate protection is provided by meeting the
requirements listed in the previous section, “Grounding Requirements.”
Additional protection is required when the customer is located in a heavy
lightning area:
Connect a 147A protector to the system to limit surges from the AC lines and
central office trunks.
One 147A protector provides protection for four central office trunks.
■ Connect a 146A protector to the 147A to provide protection for another
four trunks.
You can connect as many as three 146A protectors to a 147A, which
allows a maximum of 16 central office trunks on one 147A protector.
■ For more than 16 trunks, add another 147A protector and continue
adding 146As as needed.
See Table 2-3 for various configurations.
See Figure 2-4 for a typical 147A protector installation.

Installing the Control Unit
Unit Loads
A unit load is a measure of power (1.9 watts) used to determine the electrical
load that the following components have on each carrier’s power supply:
■ telephones and adjuncts
Only the telephones and adjuncts that connect to the analog and
digital ports on the control unit require unit load calculation. Do not
include any equipment with its own power supply in the unit load
calculation.
■ 800 DID modules
Checking Unit Loads
In the event of maintenance or equipment changes, recalculate the unit loads
for each carrier resulting in a different configuration.
Use the worksheet in Appendix B.
General Rule: If you can distribute the 800 DID modules and telephone
modules equally
across the carriers, you will prevent unnecessary drain on
any one carrier.
Also, depending

on the system’s mode, the rules vary. The next two sections
for calculating unit loads in various modes.
the Hvbrid/PBX Mode
The power supply (model 391A1) generally supports six modules of any type
in a Hybrid/PBX system—
without requiring an auxiliary power unit.
If, however, both of the following conditions are true, the unit loads on a
carrier can exceed the 54-unit maximum, and therefore require auxiliary
power:
■
all six carrier slots are occupied by MLX telephone or analog multiline
telephone modules
2-18 Unit Loads
Installing the Control Unit
■ the carrier has a total of more than 45 MLX-20L telephones or 34-
button analog multiline telephones installed
Unit Loads for Key or Behind Switch Mode
In a Key or Behind Switch system with four or fewer modules, no calculation is
needed. The power supply (model 391A1) generally supports four modules
of any type in Key or Behind Switch mode.
Auxiliary Power Units
The power supply provides 54 unit loads to each carrier. If the unit load
requirement for a carrier exceeds 54, an auxiliary power unit is needed to
allow that carrier to support an additional 27 unit loads.
CAUTION:
Running the system with more than 54 unit loads per carrier may not
appear to do harm. However, this can cause the system to
malfunction, thereby creating “no trouble found” situations, such as
malfunctioning LEDs on multiline telephones, or power unit failure.
Any station connected to the modules in the last two slots receives power
from the auxiliary power unit instead of from the power supply.
If an auxiliary power unit is required, complete instructions are provided later
in this chapter, as the fourth step under “Installing the Processor.”

Installing the Basic Carrier
Begin this procedure only if you have met all of the requirements discussed
earlier in this chapter.
NOTE:
If you are upgrading a system, the basic carrier (and possibly one or two
expansion carriers) is already installed. Do not remove any of these
carriers; skip to the next section, “Upgrading the Control Unit.”
Following the instructions given below, mount the basic carrier onto the
plywood, leaving 5 inches (12.7 cm) of plywood to the left. This allows easy
access to the installation and removal of the system cover, while allowing
enough room for system expansion (up to a total of three carriers and
5 inches (12.7 cm) of plywood to the right of the third carrier).
1. Mark the screw hole locations on the backboard using the basic carrier
as a guide. See Figure 2-5.
Make sure the carrier is level before marking the holes.

Step 2b: Replacing the Feature Module
It may become necessary at some point to replace the feature module
because of upgrades or malfunctions.
CAUTION:
Make sure that you have a backup of the system programming
before replacing the feature module. (When the feature module is
replaced, system programming is lost.) See Chapter 7 for
information on the backup procedure.
Follow this procedure to replace the feature module in a fully installed system:
a. Turn off the system (see “Powering Down the System” later in this
chapter). Make sure the switch on the power supply is turned off.
b. Remove the processor from the carrier:
i.
Press upon the tab on the bottom-rear of the module.
ii. Pull the bottom of the module away from the carrier.
iii. Lift upward to disengage the module from the rod on the top of
the carrier.
c. Put the processor on a flat surface.
d. Grasp both metal rings on the outside of the feature module and pull
straight up.
CAUTION:
Grasping onfy one of the rings may cause damage to
components on the processor circuit board or feature module.

Installing the Control Unit
d. Push firmly until the processor snaps into place.
The processor should be securely attached to the carrier and locked in
place by the locking tab on the bottom-rear of the processor.
CAUTION:
To avoid damage, do not force the module. If the module
does not insert easily, press the bottom-rear locking tab,
remove the module, and inspect the module and carrier for
damage or obstruction.
If there is no damage and no obstruction, reinsert the module.
A damaged carrier or module must be replaced.
See Figure 2-14 for the botlom-rear locking tab. This tab is
used on ail modules.
Step 4a: Installing the Auxiliary Power Unit
The Control Unit Diagram on the back of System Form 1, System Planning,
indicates whether an auxiliary power unit is required for the carrier that you
are installing. (see Figure 2-15).
NOTE:
■ Use the 9024 auxiliary power unit for new installations.
You can continue to use a previously installed 335A auxiliary
power unit provided no new telephones or modules are added to
the carrier.
■ To replace an auxiliary power unit, skip to the next section,
“Step 4b: Replacing an Auxiliary Power Unit.”

Step 5: Providing the Proper Grounding
As discussed earlier under “Power and Grounding,” the power supply on
each carrier (basic and expansion) must be grounded.
WARNING:
Grounding circuit continuity is vital for safe operation. There is a risk
of electric shock if the system is not properly grounded.
Follow these steps to properly ground the control unit power supplies (see
Figures 2-1 and 2-3):
a. Attach a #12 AWG or #14 AWG solid copper ground wire to the
grounding screw on each power supply.
b. Connect the other end of each ground wire to the terminals of the
single-point ground bar on the AC outlet box.

CAUTION:
To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD), avoid
touching leads, connectors, pins, and other components. Use a
properly grounded wrist strap.
Guidelines for Installing Modules
By installing the modules as indicated on the Control Unit Diagram of Form 1,
System Planning, you should meet the following guidelines:
■ Do not leave empty slots between modules. The system will ignore
modules installed beyond any empty slot.
■ Whenever possible, place all 012 modules and 008 OPT modules in
the same carrier so that the same ring generator can support them.
■ Make sure you install each module in the slot assigned; if installed in
the wrong slot, the system will not function properly.
■ If a phantom module (a programmed empty slot) is indicated on the
Control Unit Diagram, make sure the slot remains empty, and do not
install any modules to the right. The system will ignore any modules
installed to the right of an empty slot.

Procedure
See the Control Unit Diagram on the back of System Form 1, System Planning,
to determine the order of modules.
Once you have installed the power supply and the processor in the basic
carrier, use the remaining slots for the modules as follows:
■ Basic carrier: slots 1 through 5
■ First expansion carrier: slots 6 through 11
■ Second expansion carrier: slots 12 through 17
Follow this procedure to install the modules, starting from Slot 1 (the first open
slot next to the processor).

CAUTION:
The 008 OPT module is assigned 12 Logical IDs, and
the last four numbers are not assigned to jacks. For
example, if the previous module (on the left) is labeled
with Logical IDs 1 through 8, label the 008 OPT jacks
with Logical IDs 9 through 16. Skip numbers
17 through 20.
When you label the next module (on the right), label the
first jack as Logical ID 21.
Removing a Module
Follow this procedure to remove a module:
1. Follow the procedure in the last section of this chapter, “Powering
Down the System.”
2. Push up firmly on the tab at the bottom rear of the module.
3. While holding up the tab, swing the bottom of the module toward you,
away from the carrier.
4. Lift up the module to disengage it from the rod on the top of the carrier.

lnstalling the Control Unit
Replacing Modules
Modules can be removed and inserted (separately or at the same time)
without affecting normal call processing. Leave the system power on.
CAUTION:
■ This section does not apply to the processor or power supply.
■
Although the system is designed for modules to be removed
and replaced without affecting call processing, partially
inserting and removing a module can cause a cold start.
■ Adding a 100D module or changing any of its DS1
parameters requires that the system be idle.
■ When replacing a module, be sure to use the same module
type. For example, do not put an 008 MLX module in place of
400 GS/LS/TTR. If a module is replaced with another type of
module, or if a module is added to the system without
powering down the system first, a cold start occurs.
■ If you move any module to a different slot, be sure to
renumber the modules by selecting
Board Renumber
from
System Programming.
See the “System Programming” guide for information on
Board Renumber.
