CONFIGURATION GUIDELINES

Basically, the survey:

● Identifies the appropriate features and calling privileges for each user

● Assigns appropriate data on hard copy forms that subsequently become part of the

System’s software data base.

Survey Steps

Complete each of the survey steps in the order given. Some steps are best performed by a

imperative effort between the account team and the customer or customer’s representative.

Where applicable, these steps are so indicated. A copy of the screen forms is required in com-

pleting some of the survey steps. Blank hard copy of the screen forms are available in the the

DEFINITY Communications System, Implementation documents, along with detailed instructions

for completing these forms.

to complete this step.

Step 2—Port Assignments (Account Team/Client)

This section contains the Port Assignment procedures for the System.

Port assignments play an important role in how a System is initialized and administered. Ports

are the physical location on a circuit pack where terminals, trunks, or System adjuncts are con-

nected. Once a port number is assigned, it becomes the “address” of the associated equipment

or facility in the System. A record of port assignments must be made and kept. The record will

eventually be used for System installation/initialization and ongoing administration.

During the planning/configuration process, the types and quantities of circuit packs to be provided

with the System were identified. This information must now be entered on the Port Assignment

Records.

Using the hardware Configuration Layout record (obtain from the factory or Customer Support

Service Organization, etc.), complete the Port Assignment Records per the following instructions.

The System cabinet configuration can include a combination of multicarrier and single-carrier

cabinets. Instructions for completing the Port Assignment

cabinets follow the multicarrier cabinet information.

carriers to be used in the System.
