Circuit Pack Form
After installing the equipment (including circuit packs), the circuit packs must be
administered
before
the fiber link is administered. Refer to
DEFINITY Enterprise
Communications Server Release 8 Administrator’s Guide
for more information.
The following information describes general circuit pack administration
information:
a. Use the Circuit Packs form to administer circuit packs to carrier slots.
Install or administer the circuit packs (or assigned using the Circuit Packs
form) before administering voice terminals, attendant consoles, or trunks.
b. Each page of the form represents 1 carrier in the cabinet shown on the
command line.
c. Refer to
DEFINITY Communications System Generic 3 Planning and
Configuration
for more information about circuit pack administration and
port assignment records.
d. For initial installation, assign circuit packs to slots using the hardware
configuration layout record from the factory or Customer Services
Organization. Do not arbitrarily assign circuit packs to slots.
e. If the carrier type administered on the Cabinet Administration form does
not match the physical hardware, question marks (??) may display in the
Code fields.
f. When a circuit pack in a slot differs from what has been administered on
the form, a “#” displays between the “Sfx” and “Name” fields to indicate a
conflict.
g. For Release 8r, the number of slot fields displayed represents
administrable slots for the given carrier type.
