1 Overview of Chapters
3
Expansion Stages
Basic systems can be expanded using expansion cards and licences. Chapter 2
describes which expansion options are available for which basic system and con-
tains examples of component placement.
System and Expansion Limits
Chapter 3 provides an overview of the technical and licence-related limits to the
expansion of basic systems. Here we need to differentiate between fixed technical
system limits, e.g. the number of interfaces and slots, and power supply or mem-
ory-related limits, which depend on the number of terminals and their power
requirements. This chapter contains the basics for manual calculation.
Planning a PBX
The first phase of any successful planning project is to determine the customer's
actual communication situation, his requirements and what he has in mind for the
expansion of the system. You can enter this customer-related information directly
into the AIMS Project Manager. A rough guideline quotation is then drawn up on
the basis of the information and adapted with the customer.
After this coordination process a definitive quotation is drawn up in phase 2; this
is where you begin with the detailed planning of the communication system.
Functions relevant to the system's operation are discussed with the customer and
implemented in the Project Manager.
The AIMS Project Manager assists you in all the phases of system planning and
automatically takes account of the system and expansion limits. With its help you
can draw up a complete documentation package (list printouts) for the planned
systems.
