Chapter 1 — Introducing the Option 11C Mini
This chapter provi des an overview of the Option 11C Mini syste m.
Option 11C Mini system description
The Option 11C Mini is a small communications syste m based on existing
Option 11C technology. The system provides full Meridian 1 feature
functionality. The Option 11C Mini uses X11 global software which other
Meridian 1 systems also use.
In an Option 11C Mini system, the Main Chassis can connect to a Chassis
Expander. This increases line size to 144 lines. Two copper cables connect
the Chassis Expander to the Main Chassis.
The Main Chassis a nd Chas sis Expander each pro vide four Intelligent
Peripheral Equipm ent (IPE) card slots. These card slots support line cards,
trunk cards, and application cards used in other Meridian 1 systems. The
Option 11C Mini introduces a 48-port Digital Line Card (NTDK16). You
must insert the 48-port Digital Line Card in a dedicated slot (Slo t4) of the
Main Chassis. The Ma in Chassis a lso provi des a de dicated sl ot (slot 0) for the
Mini System Controller (MSC) card.
A processor located on the Mini System Controlle r (MS C) ca rd in the Main
Chassis handles call processing, serial ports, and network traffic. Call
processing on the MSC card is equivalent to that on the Option 11C Small
System Controller (SSC) c ard. Use the MSC card for configurations with up
to 144 lines.

You can configure the Option 11C Mini as a non-blocking system. You do
not have to provis ion the Option 11C Mini for speech pat hs or time slots.
The Option 11C Mini provides four chassis installation options. Install the
Option 11C Mini chassis in the following positions:
• on a wal l in a ve r ti c a l p ositio n
• on a wall in a horizontal position
• in a 19 inch rack/cabinet
•on a table

Installing software and configuring data
The Option 11C Mini support s a minimum of X11 Release 24.24 software.
Everything from gene ral business features to ad vanced applications are
available. The software cont ains all of the components rel ated to a relea se of
software. These components include software patches, preconfigured
customer database, feature sets, and other re lated databases and software.
When you perform an inst alla tion for th e fir st time , use the MSC ca rd for the
installation. When you upgrade to a new softwar e rel ea se, use a Software
Delivery card (PCMCIA card).
Flash Drives
Two Flash Drives, located on the MSC card, perform Meridian software
operation and cu st omer data storage.
The first flash device is the Primary Flash Drive. The Primary Flash Drive
contains Meri dian syst em d ata and the firs t copy of cust omer d ata r equire d t o
load and run th e switch. T he Primary Fl ash Drive i s programmed wit h system
software before it is shipped to the customer.
The second Flash Drive is the Backup Flash Drive. The Backup Flas h Drive
stores fi les th at t he u ser can ch ange. Exampl es of t hese fil es are co nfigu rat ion
data and the second copy of the customer database . If the Primary Flash Drive
fails, you can retrieve a backup set of customer da ta. After the backup set of
customer data is retrieved, you can load it into the system’s active database.
Software Installation Program
The Software Installation Program starts during initial installations of the
Option 11C Mini system. This program is menu driven.The Software
Installation Program installs the software and puts the Option 11C Mini into
operation.
Software Delivery Card
The Option 11C Mini uses a Software Del ivery card (PCMCIA) card to
upgrade system software and provide storage for a ba ckup copy of cust omer
data. The Option 11C Mini uses the same Software Delive ry card that the
Option 11C uses.
Insert the Software Delivery card in the socket (slot A) located on the
faceplate of the MSC card. When ins erted, you can load software and
customer databases from the Softwar e Delivery card to the MSC card.
Option 11C Mini Planning and Installation Guide
Page 20 of 332 Chapter 1 — Introducing the Option 11C Mini
Security Device
A Security Device comes with each new Option 11C Mini system. Attach the
Security Device to th e component s ide of the MSC c ard at the tim e of initial
installa ti on. The S ecurit y Devi ce remains on the MSC card for the li fe of the
system. The Security Device is used for system identification. This device
allows the activation of features ass igned to the system, t hrough the use of a
series of keycodes. The system uses keycodes for vali dation purposes.
Configuring data
The Option 11C Mini provides several options for m aking data configurat ion
easier.
Preprogr a m m ed data
When you first install an Option 11C Mini system, you mu st enter customer
data into the overla y program s. Tele phones , for example , must have fea tures
assigned to their keys, in order for them to function correc tly. 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 preprog rammed da ta doe s not a pply to users at on e o f th e 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 init ial sof tware progr amming. You must perform this step while
you are working in the Softwa re Ins tallation Program.
Model telepho ne s
You can select many different preprogrammed mode l 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
administrat ive 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 admini st rative
functions. The administrative te lephone can double as a user’s working
telephone.

Chapter 1 — Introducing the Option 11C Mini Page 21 of 332
Set-Based Administration
The Set-Based Administration feature makes system installation and
administration easier. With Set-Based Administration, you can use a
telephone se t to perform s everal ad ministr at ive and maintena nce pr ocedure s.
Use the Set-Bas ed Adminis trat ion fea ture to perf orm tasks, such as changi ng
data for specific feature s related to sets or changing Calling Party Name
Display on a set.
For more information about Set-Based Administration, refer to the
Meridian 1 Set-Based Administration Guide
(553-3001-303).
Database Archive feature
The Software Installation program allows the archiving of databases which
you can use to load a customer site. This feature allows you to configure
multiple databases in an off-site lab environment. The Databas e Arch ive
feature also allows you t o save data base s on a Software Delive ry (PCMCIA)
card until the databases are required. You can loa d the database into the
system using the Software Delivery card.
The off-site programming of databases is subject to all security keycode
restri ct ions . The of f-s ite syst em mus t e ith er us e th e Sec urit y Dev ice that wi ll
be installed in the Option 11C Mini at the customer si te, or must have its own
keycodes for the feature se t.

• Meridian Mail Mini in slot 10
Trunk capacity
It is diff i cu lt to estimat e system ca pacitie s , as ev er y in s t al lation var i es
depending on end-user needs. In a moderate to busy work environment,
however, a common ratio of users to trunks normally falls between four and
six users to ea ch tr u nk.
Software Generic
The Option 11C Mini supports X11 Rele ase 24.24 and later soft ware.
Conference channels
The MSC card supports 16 conference channels.
Power suppl y
The universal power supply unit is installed inside the chassis before the
system is se nt to the cus tomer. T he powe r supp ly u nit re quir es no in stal la tion
by the customer. The power supply operates on standard line voltages of
100-240 VAC. Total out put power is 363 Watts.
The Option 11C Mini system does not support DC power input.
