Circuit Pack Form
After installing the equipment (including circuit packs), the circuit packs must be
administered before the fiber link is administered. Refer to Administrator’s Guide
for Avaya™ Communication Manager 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. 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.
d. If the carrier type administered on the Cabinet Administration form does not
match the physical hardware, question marks (??) may display in the Code
fields.
e. 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.
f. The number of slot fields displayed represents administrable slots for the
given carrier type.
