System Description 5
This section provides an overview of the system features and equipment used to
meet the needs of this office. Following this overview, equipment, covering calls,
and restrictions on outgoing calls are described in more detail.
■ Lines/Trunks. One 408 GS/LS module to handle the loudspeaker paging
system and provide a power-failure transfer (PFT) telephone. Three 800
NI-BRI (Release 4.0 and later only) modules supply outside line/trunks to
the system. Two modules are fully equipped, with eight NI-1 BRI (National
Integrated Services Digital Network 1 Basic Rate Interface) facilities on
each module, supplying a total of 32 virtual “lines” (B-channels). The third
800 NI-BRI module currently connects three facilities that provide six
additional B-channels. The organization receives caller identification
services at no additional subscriber cost. (For more information about the
NI-1 BRI access arrangement and the 800 NI-BRI module, see
“800 NI-BRI
Module” on page 3–10 .)
■ Extension Modules. One 016 basic tip/ring telephone module (Release
4.0 and later only) to handle the modems, single-line telephones, analog
fax machines, and applications. Six 008 MLX modules serve MLX
extensions.
