General Information

This document,

DEFINITY



Communications System Generic 1 and Generic 3—Planning and

Configuration

, 555-230-600, is used by the AT&T Account Team to determine a customer’s

requirements and to collect the information needed to estimate hardware quantities for DEFIN-

ITY Communications System Generic 1 or Generic 3. Throughout the rest of this document,

this system is referred to as either DEFINITY Generic 1, Generic 3, G1, G3i, or G3r. Software

releases G1 (a Generic 1 release), G3i (a Generic 3 release), and G3r (a Generic 3 release) are

covered. The term G3 applies to both G3i and G3r. Where there is a difference between the G3i

and G3r releases, the text specifies the release.

The hardware quantities estimate can be recorded on the tables provided in this document. The

information obtained during the planning and configuration process is used for negotiations and

for initially pricing a system. This information serves as the foundation for the proposal and for

the post-sale communications survey. The information gathered here can then be input to the

Delivery Operation and Support System (DOSS) Configurator.

This document assumes that AT&T Account Team members are familiar with DEFINITY Generic

1 and Generic 3 and its associated Price Element Codes (PECs).

The Business Communications Systems (BCS) Design Center (BDC) should always be

consulted to provide engineering support for Automatic Alternate Routing (AAR), Distri-

buted Communications System (DCS), Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), Uniform

Dial Plan (UDP) and DS1 feature configurations, and any time processor occupancy is in

question.

If a configuration has a Processor Port Network (PPN) and an off-premises (out of building

or in a different room) Expansion Port Network (EPN), the Premises Services Consultant

(PSC) must be consulted for design of the fiber link.

Any statement appearing in the following material is limited by, and subject to, all terms and pro-

visions of the Purchase or Master Agreement for DEFINITY Generic 1 or DEFINITY Generic 3,

including those limiting warranties and liabilities of AT&T.
