2 Installing Your System

Overview

This chapter explains how to install the PARTNER Advanced Communications System (ACS) Releases 5.0 or earlier. The information applies to all releases unless otherwise specified.

The installation of the PARTNER ACS involves the following:

• Evaluating the environmental requirements

• Installing the control unit

• Connecting lines and extensions

• Installing the cover (Release 3.0 and earlier systems)

• Installing telephones

If your company already has modular jacks for all outside lines and extensions, you may be able to use the existing wiring to install the system hardware and connect telephones to the system yourself.

Overview 7

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 Installation, 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 (5-slot carrier only on a system of Release 3.0 or earlier).

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.

8 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 meters) 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 11.

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 11.

Installing the Control Unit 9

2 Installing Your System

Quick Reference Guide

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 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.

10 Installing the Control Unit

Quick Reference Guide

• 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.

• PARTNER ACS Release 5.0 or later supports Endeavor telephones when an Endeavor 362EC module is installed in the carrier. Install the Endeavor 362EC module(s) to the right of the 1600 DSL module, if one is installed, and to the left of all 400 and 200 modules.

• In Release 5.0, 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.

CAUTION:

Do not force the module. Use the carrier shelf as a reference and do not tilt, slant, or rotate the module. If the module does not insert easily, remove it, clear any obstruction, and reinsert it.

2 Installing Your System

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.

Installing the Control Unit 11

2 Installing Your System

Quick Reference Guide

• 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 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 “20.”

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.

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, such 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.

In Release 4.0 and later systems, 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.

4 Insert two new AAA-size standard alkaline batteries into the metal battery

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.

Initializing the System

To initialize the system, you must insert any PC Card before powering up the system.

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

Follow these steps to initialize a system:

1 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.

2 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.

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

Off (“O”) position.

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

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

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

wall outlet that is not controlled by a switch.

6 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.

additional steps:

a Check the LEDs to make sure that the processor is on steady green for

at least 15 seconds.

b Press f00ss#989 at extension 10

or 11.

c Press 25327.

The system resets. You may proceed with the rest of the installation upon completion of the reset (about 20 seconds).

If your system has a 1600 DSL module, initialization of the line and extension ports may take up to 40 seconds. The initialization of the 1600 DSL module itself may take from 2 to 7 minutes.

Checking the LEDs

After you power up your system, check the green lights on the fronts of the modules:

• If a single light is out, power down the control unit, reseat the module, and then power up the carrier.

• If multiple lights are out, power down the carrier, reseat either both modules (2-slot carrier) or the leftmost module that has a light out (5-slot carrier), and then power up the carrier.

If the lights are still out, see the “Customer Support Document” on the accompanying compact disc for information about whom you should contact.

Connecting Lines and Extensions

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

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 the first network interface jack.

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

your local telephone company before continuing.)

b Repeat for each network interface jack.

2 Connect line cords to the line jacks on the modules. Start at the top with the

line jacks on the processor module, and then move to the leftmost module. Fill each module before moving to the next module to the right.

3 Route each cord through the wire manager on the front of the module.

4 Connect the free end of each line cord to the appropriate network interface

jack.

5 Test the lines by plugging a system telephone into extension jack 10. Press

the line button for each outside line and listen for a dial tone.

6 Test the extensions by doing the following:

• Plug a system telephone into the first extension jack on each module.

• Press the line button on the telephone for each outside line and listen for a dial tone.

7 Connect modular telephone cords to the extension jacks, starting at the top

extension jack on the processor module. When that module is full, move to the leftmost module. Fill each module before moving on to the next module to the right.

8 Route each cord through the wire manager on the front of the module.

9 Connect the free end of each modular telephone cord to the modular wall

jacks for system extensions.

10 Gather the line and extension cords hanging below the wire managers of

the first two modules, and twist-tie or wire-wrap them. Repeat for the remaining cords. For the 5-slot carrier, place each bundle of wires in the indentations cut out of the bottom edge of the carrier.

2 Installing Your System

Installing the Cover

If you have a 5-slot carrier in a system of Release 3.0 or earlier, it is important to install the cover to keep the modules dust-free and properly seated, and the system working efficiently. Install the cover for the 5-slot carrier by following these steps:

1 To cover the modules, grasp the upper edges of the cover and hold it

squarely over the control unit.

2 Place the cover over the modules and make sure it fits firmly in place.

3 Insert the #6 screw into the tab on the lower front of the cover. Tighten the

screw.

Installing Telephones

After you have installed the control unit and have connected the line and extension cords, you are ready to install the telephones. Installing the telephones includes assembling, connecting, and testing the telephones. As desired, you also can connect an Intercom Autodialer to system telephones at operator extensions. See the PA RT NER Programming, and Use guide and the documentation that comes with the telephone.

3 Setting Up Your System

Overview

This chapter explains the basics of programming and the programming of features involved in the setup of the system, including the programming of a voice messaging system. Refer to the PARTNER Advanced Communications System Installation, Programming, and Use guide for more detailed programming information.

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.

Overview 19

3 Setting Up Your System

Quick Reference Guide

• 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.

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.

Endeavor telephones are supported in PARTNER ACS Release 5.0 or later when an Endeavor 362EC module is installed in the carrier. The Endeavor telephones are programmed the same as PARTNER-34D, -18D, -18, and -6 telephones and have the same button layouts.

• The PARTNER ACS Release 3.0 or later includes a PCMCIA

Remote Access PC Card, which is used as follows:

– When you initially insert the PC Card into the PARTNER ACS

and the system is powered up, the PC Card upgrades the existing software to the latest version.

– After you program the system, the card acts as a storage/backup

device for saving your system settings, which can be used to restore the system in case these settings are lost for any reason.

– The card provides remote access to the PARTNER ACS via a

local or remote personal computer. This requires a modem and additional software that must reside on your computer.

• If you are installing a voice messaging system with the PARTNER ACS, you must assign the voicemail ports to Hunt Group 7 to avoid having the voicemail ports answering all calls immediately.
