8 System Overview

Quick Reference Guide

1 Getting Acquainted

System Capacity

The PARTNER ACS release you have, the carrier you use, and the combination
of modules installed, determine the number of available lines and extensions.
PARTNER ACS Release 7.0 allows up to 31 lines and up to 48 extensions.
However, these maximums cannot be achieved simultaneously.

If you want to install a PARTNER Messaging or PARTNER MAIL VS
module, keep in mind that the module uses one of the slots in the
carrier, which reduces the system line and extension capacity.

System Components

The system components include the processor module, the optional line and
extension modules, and the telephones. See the PARTNER Advanced
Communications System Release 7.0 Installation, Programming, and Use guide
for more details.

connect the system to line jack 5.

Installed in a carrier, these modules provide additional outside
line jacks and/or extension jacks. The 2-slot carrier
configuration can hold two modules. The 5-slot carrier
configuration can hold five modules. For more information about
the line and extension modules, see the PARTNER Advanced

Communications System Release 7.0 Installation,
Programming, and Use guide.

Overview 13

2 Installing Your System

Quick Reference Guide

Evaluating the Environment

Before you begin the physical installation of the system, you must check that all
environmental factors are within the acceptable ranges. See the PARTNER

Advanced Communications System Release 7.0 In stallation, Programming, and
Use guide for more details.

Installing the Control Unit

The stand-alone processor module or a carrier and its modules are referred to as
the control unit. The control unit must always be wall-mounted.

WARNING

There are no customer-serviceable components inside the system modules
or carrier. There are hazardous voltages within that can cause severe or
fatal personal injury. DO NOT OPEN MODULES.

To install the control unit, you must do the following:

• Wall-mount the control unit.

• Label the jacks.

• Ground the system.

• Insert the batteries into the processor module.

• Initialize the system.

• Check the LEDs on the modules.

• Install the cover.

:

Wall-Mounting a Stand-Alone Processor Module and a 2-Slot Carrier

Install the processor module within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of a properly grounded
wall outlet (not controlled by a switch) and the network interface jacks.

14 Evaluating the Environment

Quick Reference Guide

2 Installing Your System

Follow these steps to wall-mount the module(s):

1 Using the enclosed template, mark the screw locations on the wall.
2 Hold the processor module against the wall with the line and extension

jacks facing left. Leave at least 1 foot (0.3 meter) clearance at the top, front,
and right side, and at least 2 feet (0.6 meter) at the bottom and left side.

3 Insert a #8 sheet metal screw into the screw hole at the top of the processor

module.

4 If you are installing a second module, go to Step 5. If you are not installing a

second module (stand-alone configuration):

a Insert another #8 sheet metal screw into the screw hole at the bottom of

the module.

b Tighten the screws until the mounting tracks are snug against the wall.

There must be a 3/8 inch (1 cm) gap between the wall and the rest of the
module. Do not overtighten the screws or the module will warp and fail to
operate.

c Go to the next procedure, “Labeling Jacks,” on page 18.

5 Remove the clear plastic protectors from the connectors on the right side of

the wall-mounted PARTNER ACS processor module and the module to be
added by grasping the tabs on the ends of the protector and lifting.

6 Slide the second module onto the PARTNER ACS processor module,

making sure the mounting tracks interlock.

7 Attach the 2-slot carrier to the top right side of the two modules, properly

engaging the connectors on the modules to the carrier.

8 Fasten the carrier to the modules by using the two #4 screws included with

the carrier.

9 Insert the 3-1/2 inch #8 screw into the bottom of the modules. Tighten it until

the mounting tracks of the PARTNER ACS processor module are flush
against the wall. Do not overtighten or the module will warp. Then go to the
next procedure, “Labeling Jacks,” on page 18.

Wall-Mounting a 5-Slot Carrier and Modules

Install the 5-slot carrier within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of a properly grounded wall
outlet (not controlled by a switch) and the network interface jacks. When you
mount the carrier on the wall, leave at least 1 foot (0.3 meter) of clearance at the
top and sides and 2 feet (0.6 meter) at the front and bottom to ensure proper
ventilation.

The location of each module within the carrier is important; place the
modules as instructed in the following procedure.

Follow these steps to wall-mount the 5-slot carrier and modules:

1 Using the enclosed template, mark the screw locations on the wall. If you

are mounting the carrier on plywood, start four #12 screws supplied with the
carrier, leaving the screw heads extending approximately 1/4 inch (0.64 cm)
from the wall. If you are mounting on drywall, use wall anchors, which must
be purchased separately .

2 Before installing any modules, make sure the clear, plastic protector has

been removed from the connector area on the rear of each module. To
remove the protector, grasp the tabs on the ends of the protector and lift.

3 Insert the PARTNER ACS processor module in the center slot of the carrier.
4 In the other slots, from left to right, first install the T1 module (if used) or

1600 DSL module (if used), then the 012E, 308EC, or 206 modules,
followed by the 400 or 200 modules and/or a PARTNER Messaging or
PARTNER MAIL VS module. Align the module carefully in the appropriate
slot. For proper engagement of the connectors, the module must be
inserted straight into the carrier. Once the module is properly seated, firmly
push the center of the module until the connectors on the module lock into
place. A slight click indicates the connectors are engaged.

Quick Reference Guide

• If you use a T1 module, it must be in the first slot on the left. The

012E, 308EC, and 206 modules must be to the left of any 400
and 200 modules. Only one T1 module is supported.

• If you use a 1600 DSL module, it must be in the first slot on the
left. The 012E, 308EC, and 206 modules must be to the left of
any 400 and 200 modules. Only one DSL module is supported.

• PARTNER ACS Release 7.0 supports either one T1 module or
one 1600 DSL module.

• PARTNER ACS Release 7.0 supports Endeavor telephones and
the Endeavor 362EC module. Install the Endeavor 362EC
module(s) to the right of the T1 module or 1600 DSL module, if
one is installed, and to the left of all 400 and 200 modules.

• In Release 7.0, the system extension maximum is 48. However,
in some configurations, the 012E module and/or the PARTNER
Messaging module will physically permit more than 48 stations
to be installed in the 5-slot carrier. In these configurations, only
station ports and voice messaging ports up to 48 will function.
Station ports and voice messaging ports above 48 will not
function with ETR or T/R telephones because they are outside
the PARTNER ACS dial plan.

Labeling Jacks

After you have mounted the control unit on the wall, you must label the line and
extension jacks. The line jacks are on the top of the modules, and the extension
jacks on the bottom.

Follow these steps to label the line and extension jacks:

1 Label the line jacks on the processor module, beginning with “1” at the top

line jack.

2 Do one of the following:

• For a 2-slot carrier, label the line jacks on the other module.

• For a 5-slot carrier, label the line jacks on the other modules by starting
with the leftmost module and ending with the rightmost module.

• Although a T1 module has only one line jack, it supports up

to 16 lines. Therefore, the line jacks on the module to the
right of a T1 module in a 5-slot carrier are numbered starting
with “22.”

• Although a 1600 DSL module has only one line jack, it
supports up to 16 lines. Therefore, the line jacks on the
module to the right of a 1600 DSL module in a 5-slot carrier
are numbered starting with “22.”

3 Label the extension jacks on the processor module, beginning with “10” at

the topmost extension jack.

4 Do one of the following:

• For a 2-slot carrier, label the extension jacks on the other module.

• For a 5-slot carrier, label the extension jacks on the other modules by
starting with the leftmost module and ending with the rightmost module.

Grounding the System

You ground the system by running a solid copper wire from the processor
module to an appropriate earth ground. Follow these steps to ground the system:

1 Attach one end of a #12 AWG or #14 AWG solid copper wire to the

grounding screw on the processor module. The length of the wire must not
exceed 35 feet (7.6 meters).

2 Route the wire through the wire manager on the front of the module.
3 Attach the other end of the wire to the approved earth ground, suc h as

building steel or a cold water pipe.

Inserting Batteries in the Processor Module

The processor module uses two AAA-size standard alkaline batteries to guard
against the loss of system programming in case of a power failure. These
batteries retain the system programming for 45 days to six months, depending
on the freshness of the batteries. You should replace the batteries every year.

The configuration of the 1600 DSL module is not backed up to the
PCMCIA card. Instead, the configuration is retained in the flash memory
of the 1600 DSL module.

CAUTION:

Batteries and battery cover are packaged in a separate box. If you are
replacing batteries, the old batteries must be removed with the power on or
the system’s memory will be lost.

Follow these steps to insert the batteries:

1 Locate the battery compartment at the bottom of the PARTNER ACS

processor module, below the extension jacks.

2 Push gently on the battery icon (the locking latch) and slide the battery icon

up to cover the plus icon; this unlocks the battery assembly.

3 Remove the battery assembly by gently pulling the tab at the bottom of the

battery compartment cover.

clips by pushing them straight in, placing the negative (–) end of one battery
into the bottom clip and the positive (+) end of the other battery into the top
clip.

5 With the locking latch in the unlocked position (battery icon and “minus”

icon visible), slide the battery assembly into the processor module along
the battery guides on the inside of the battery compartment. Push the
battery assembly in far enough that the edges of the assembly slip behind
the plastic housing of the processor module.

6 Pressing lightly on the battery icon on the front of the battery assembly,

slide the locking latch downward to secure the assembly in place. The
“plus” icon and the battery icon should now be visible on the front of the
battery assembly.

Before you initialize the system, you may insert any of the supported PC cards:
Backup/Restore card, Automatic System Answer/Direct Extension Dial
(ASA/DXD) card, PARTNER Voice Messaging Basics card, and PARTNER
Remote Access PC Card.

You must power down the system before you insert or remove a PC
Card.

Follow these steps to initializ e a system :

1 If you have a PC Card, perform the following steps:

a If your PC Card comes with a write-protect tab, verify that the

write-protect tab on the PC Card is not in the write-protected position. If it
is, use a paperclip or another pointed object to push the write-protect tab
on the end of the PC Card upward to the nonprotected position.

b To insert the PC Card, hold it with the label facing to the right, and slide it

gently into one of the PC Card slots on the processor module. When
inserted properly, the PC Card projects about 1-5/8” (4 cm) from the
module.

2 If you have a 5-slot carrier, make sure the carrier’s On/Off switch is at the

Off (“O”) position.

3 Press the power cord firmly into the power jack on the carrier or the

stand-alone processor module until the cord locks into place.

4 Plug the other end of the power cord into a properly grounded three-prong

wall outlet that is not controlled by a switch.

5 If you have a 5-slot carrier, move the On/Off switch to the On (“—”) position.

CAUTION:

The power cord should hang straight down from the connector for the
entire length of the module or carrier. Do not install the power cord at
an angle to the case or with a loop in it.

Connecting Lines and Extensions

• If extensions are not wired to any modular jacks, call a qualified
service technician.

• Residential (Class B) PARTNER ACS users must connect a Wurth
Elektronik’s part number 74271142 or equivalent to each extension
jack on the PACS processor module.

If the PARTNER system has a T1 module, you must perform the following steps
before connecting the lines and extensions:

1 Install the PARTNER ACS R7.0 PC Administration application on your PC.
2 Connect to the PARTNER system via PARTNER ACS R7.0 PC

Administration, and back up and retrieve the translations from the
PA RTNER system to the PC.

3 Program the PARTNER system (for example, assign lines/pools, configure

the T1 settings, and program extensions) via PARTNER ACS R7.0 PC
Administration.

4 Restore the new translations you created to the PARTNER system via

PARTNER ACS R7.0 PC Administration.

See the PARTNER ACS R7.0 PC Administration Getting Started Guide to install
and start the PARTNER ACS R7.0 PC Administration application. See “Initial
Configuration” in the PARTNER ACS R7.0 PC Administration online help for
more information on setting up the T1 module.

Use the following procedure to connect lines and extensions:

1 Test for a dial tone at the network interface jacks before connecting outside

lines to the control unit. For the test, connect a tip/ring telephone to a
network interface jack.

a Lift the handset and listen for a dial tone. (If there is no dial tone, contact

your local telephone company.)

b Repeat for each network interface jack.

Connecting the Loudspeaker Paging System

Perform the steps in this section if you have a loudspeaker paging system.
Loudspeaker paging systems allow you to broadcast a message over a large

area. The PARTNER system supports all Avaya paging systems, including the
entire PagePac line. The PARTNER system also supports most paging systems
from other manufacturers when the paging systems are connected using a
paging interface device.

If you connect a loudspeaker paging system from another
manufacturer, a paging interface may be required.

Follow these steps to connect a loudspeaker paging system to the PARTNER
system:

1 Insert the modular plug from the loudspeaker paging system into an

available line jack on a PARTNER module. A loudspeaker paging system
can be connected to a line jack on the following PARTNER modules:

• PARTNER ACS R7.0 processor module

• 308EC module

• 400E module, 400EC module

• 200e module

• 206 module, 206E module, 206EC module

• 362EC module

Connecting the Loudspeaker Paging System 25

2 Installing Your System

• It is recommended that you connect the loudspeaker paging

system to the highest numbered line jack in your PARTNER
system to help prevent any future conflict with your line
assignments. When you connect a loudspeaker paging
system to a line jack on the PARTNER system, that line is
“unavailable.” For example, suppose your system has four
lines, and you connect your loudspeaker paging system to
line jack 4. (The lines are connected to Line jack 1, Line jack
2, Line jack 3 and Line jack 5.) When you administer the
lines, the PARTNER system will label these four lines as Line
1, Line 2, Line 3, and Line 5. Line 4 is unavailable.

• If the loudspeaker paging system requires a “dry contact
relay,” you must connect the loudspeaker paging system to
line jack 5 on the PARTNER ACS R7.0 processor module.

2 Route the cord through the processor module’s wire manager.
3 Connect the other end of the cord to the paging system.

Overview 29

3 Setting Up Your System

Quick Reference Guide

System Programming Basics

After the control unit is installed, you set up the system by using a combination of
the following two types of programming. Use the System Planning Guide when
programming.

• System Programming allows you to customize the system to meet the
needs of your business. When the system is first installed, it uses factory
settings that reflect the most commonly used options. You can change
system settings as needed.

You can perform System Programming from extension 10 or extension 11.
Because an extension cannot be in programming mode and handle calls at
the same time, you should use extension 11 for programming. By doing so,
you can program without disrupting call handling at extension 10.

• Telephone Programming allows telephones to be customized to meet
individual users’ needs. There are two types of Telephone Programming,
depending from where you program.

— Centralized Telephone Programming—programming individual

telephones from extension 10 or 11.

— Extension Programming—programming an individual system

telephone from the extension to which it is connected.

• With the PARTNER ACS R7.0 PC Administration software, you can

perform system programming and telephone programming,
enabling you to administer and maintain the PART NER system from
your PC.

• If the PARTNER system has a T1 module, you must use the
PARTNER ACS R7.0 PC Administration software to configure the
T1 module.

You need a system display telephone for System and Centralized Telephone
Programming. If you have any 34-button telephones in the system, you must use
a 34-button display telephone to program since an 18-button telephone cannot
be used to program a 34-button telephone. Also, if your system has both
PARTNER and MLS telephones, you should use a PARTNER display telephone
at the programming extension.
