Overview
System Components
1-15
System Batteries
1
The system uses two user-replaceable AAA-size standard alkaline batteries in the processor
module to ensure that system programming and telephone programming settings are not lost in
case of a power failure.
PC Card Slots
1
The processor module has two PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International
Association) interface slots (hereafter referred to as PC Card slots). You can buy PC Cards to use
in these slots for the following purposes:
■
With the PARTNER ACS R6.0 PC Administration software, the content of the PC Cards that
are installed in the PARTNER ACS processor module as well as all modules installed in the
carrier are displayed in an inventory screen.
■
Use a Backup and Restore PC Card to backup or restore telephone and system programming.
■
Use a PC Upgrade card. After powering down the system, you insert the PC Upgrade Card
and turn the power back on. While the system upgrades, the bicolor (red/green) power LED on
the processor flashes for about 20 seconds (40 seconds when a 1600 DSL module has been
installed; one minute when a T1 module has been installed); then the power LED becomes
steady green. If there is firmware on the PC Card that is downloaded to the module, then it will
take longer for the power LED to become steady green. All of your system and extension
programming is saved and ready to work with the new release.
■
Use a PC Card to store Automatic System Answer and Direct Extension Dial (ASA/DXD)
messages. You can insert the card in either PC Card Slot of the processor module, Release
2.0 or later.
■
For PARTNER ACS Release 1.1 or later, use a PARTNER Voice Messaging PC Card to
provide messaging features (store personal greeting and store and retrieve callers’ messages)
for up to four mailboxes.
■
The PARTNER ACS Release 3.0 or later includes a PARTNER Remote Access PC Card,
which allows you to program the system remotely or locally from a PC and perform backup
and restore functions. You also can use the PARTNER Remote Access PC Card to upgrade
previous versions of PARTNER ACS to the current release. In order to program the system
remotely, you must use the PARTNER ACS R6.0 PC Administration software, which is
available from your Avaya representative or authorized dealer.
For complete information on installing PC Cards, see the instructions that came with the card.
Telephones
1
The telephones supported by the PARTNER ACS fall into two categories:
■
System telephones—telephones specifically designed to work with the PARTNER ACS
■
Single-line telephones—touch-tone or rotary telephones
You must use the PARTNER ACS R6.0 PC Administration application to administer a
PARTNER system that has a T1 module.
