6Required Parts
to "Product Ordering Information" in Appendix B of the
PARTNER Advanced
Communications System Programming and Use
guide for ordering instructions.
The PARTNER ACS processor module and the 206EC, 308EC, and 400EC modules support
the Caller ID feature. These modules are required to provide Caller ID information on system
display phones. You must subscribe to Caller ID service from your local telephone company
(if it is available), and connect any lines associated with this service to the line jacks on the
processor module, the 206EC module, the 308EC module, or the 400EC module. Hereafter,
references in this guide to 206 modules include 206E, 206EC, and all 206 modules used with
previous releases of the product. Similarly, references to 400 modules include 400E, 400EC,
and all 400 modules used with previous releases of the product.
NOTE:
A system display phone is required for programming at extension 10 and/or 11. If
you have any 34-button phones in the system, you must use a 34-button display
phone to program since an 18-button phone cannot be used to program a 34-button
phone. Also, if your system has both PARTNER-model and MLS-model phones, it is
recommended that you use a PARTNER-model display phone at the programming
extension.

Installation Guidelines 7
Installation Guidelines
Telephones and Devices
You can connect the following telephones and devices to the system:
■PARTNER-model, MLS-model, MDC 9000, and TransTalk™ 9000-series System Phones.
System phones require at least two-pair wiring and are compatible with Lucent Technologies
4-pair SYSTIMAX®wiring.
■Call Assistant Intercom Autodialers with Busy Indication (PARTNER-CA48 for
PARTNER-model phones or MLS-CA24 for MLS-model phones). You can connect an
Intercom Autodialer to the system phones at extension 10 and 11. The Intercom Autodialer
connects to the system phone using an adapter that is shipped with the autodialer.
■Industry-Standard Devices. Industry-standard devices (including standard phones) require
one-pair mounting cords; Lucent Technologies D2R mounting cords are recommended.
—Standard Phones. Connect standard touch-tone or rotary dial phones to the system for:
—Power Failure Operation. During a power failure, system phones will not work because
they require power to operate. However, if you connect standard phones to the first two
extensions on the PARTNER ACS processor module, users can place and answer outside
calls on the first two lines. If you connect a standard phone to the first extension on each
206 module, or the first two extensions on each 308EC module, users can place and
answer outside calls on any of these lines. You can connect a standard phone either alone
or combined with a system phone. For more information, see ‘‘Combination Extensions’’
on page -8.
—Hotlines. A hotline extension should be connected to a standard phone, rather than a
system telephone, but can ring any type of phone. An internal hotline phone can also be
set up to ring the paging system, so announcements can be made over the loudspeaker.
Do not connect a hotline phone to extension 10, 11, or the first two extensions of any 206
or 308EC module, to keep these extensions available for power failure use.
For message waiting capability, you must connect standard phones with LED-compatible
message-waiting lights to a PARTNER ACS processor module, 308EC modules, or Release 3.1 (R3.1)
or later 206 modules. This message- waiting capability does not work with standard phones with
neon-type message-waiting lights.
—Auxiliary Equipment. There are a variety of ways to set up fax machines, modems, and
answering machines to work with the system. See Chapter 4 in the
PARTNER Advanced
Communications System Programming and Use
guide for advice on using this equipment.
To connect a telephone and a standard device on the same extension, see ‘‘Combination
Extensions’’ on page -8.
■Doorphones. You can connect up to two doorphones to the system. Do not connect doorphones
to extension 10, 11, or the first two extensions of any 206 or 308EC module.
■Contact Closures. You can connect up to two Contact Closure devices such as door locks to the
Contact Closure Adjunct so that the devices can be activated from an extension on a user s desk.
■Voice Messaging Systems. The system supports the following voice messaging systems:
— The PARTNER MAIL VS®System. This device, which physically resembles a 206
module, resides in the control unit.
— The PARTNER MAIL®System. This device connects to the system through extension
jacks. Do not connect PARTNER MAIL to extension 10, 11, or the first two extensions of
any 206 or 308EC module to keep these extensions available for power failure use.

8Installation Guidelines
— The PARTNER Voice Messaging PC Card. For more information on using this voice
messaging system, see the
PARTNER Voice Messaging PC Card Installation,
Programming and Use Guide
.
■Call Reporting Devices. You can connect either a serial printer or a call accounting device, such
as Lucent Technologies Call Accounting Terminal, to the SMDR jack on the processor module to
record and/or analyze call activity.
■In-Range Out-of-Building Protectors. Installing phones or other standard devices (such as a
doorphone) in a location other than the building where the control unit is installed requires Lucent
Technologies In-Range Out-of-Building (IROB) protectors, to prevent damage from lightning.
(IROBs must be installed by a qualified technician.)
Combination Extensions
You can connect a standard device (such as a standard phone or an answering machine) on an
extension by itself, or so that it shares an extension with another piece of equipment (either another
standard device or a system phone). An extension with two devices connected to it is called a
combination extension . (If you combine a standard phone and a system phone on one extension, you
may want to turn off the standard phone s ringer during normal use.)
You cannot install two system phones on the same extension, and the combined REN (Ringer
Equivalence Number) of two devices on one extension cannot exceed 2.0. (The REN for a system
phone is 0.0.)
NOTE:
The Call Assistant Intercom Autodialer is not regarded as a standard device. This means you can
connect a standard device to a system phone that also has an Intercom Autodialer installed.
PARTNER-model system phones have a built-in auxiliary jack so you can connect a standard device
directly to the phone without using a bridging adapter see ‘‘Using A Direct Connection’’, below. If your
phone does not have a built-in auxiliary jack or ifyou want to connect two standard devices together,you
must use a Lucent Technologies 267F2 Bridging Adapter see ‘‘Using a Bridging Adapter’’, below.
Using A Direct Connection
Figure 2 shows how to connect a standard device directly to a system phone, using the phone s built-in
auxiliary jack. (Figure 2 is for illustration purposes only; the placement of the jacks on your phone may
differ.)

solid copper wire to the grounding screw on the
primary processor module. Note that the length
of the wire must not exceed 35 feet (7.6 meters).
B) Route the wire through the hook on the front of
the module.
C) Attach the other end of the wire to the approved
earth ground, such as building steel or cold
water pipe.
6 A) Plug the power cord into a properly grounded
three-prong wall outlet not controlled by a switch.
B) Power up the control unit by moving the On/Off
switch to the "On" position (“—”).
7 A) Check the green lights on the fronts of the
modules.
B) If a single light is out, power down the carrier,
reseat the module, then power up the carrier. If
multiple lights are out, power down the carrier,
reseat the leftmost module that has a light out,
then power up the carrier.
C) If the lights are still out, in the continental U.S.
call the hotline at 1 800-628-2888. Outside the
continental U.S., contact your Lucent
Technologies Representative or local Authorized
Dealer.

16 Installation Procedures
Inserting Batteries in the PARTNER ACS
Processor Module
The PARTNER ACS processor module uses two user-replaceable, AAA-size standard alkaline batteries to guard
against the loss of system programming in case of a power failure. These batteries will retain the system
programming for 45 days to 6 months, depending on the freshness of the batteries. It is recommended that you
replace the batteries with fresh ones every year.
!CAUTION:
If this is a new installation, you need to install batteries. Batteries and battery cover may be packed
in a separate box. If you are replacing batteries, the old batteries must be removed with the power
on or the system s memory will be lost.
Use the following procedure to replace the batteries:
1 Locate the battery compartment at the bottom of the
PARTNER ACS processor module, below the
extension jacks.
2 Push gently on the battery icon (the locking latch) and
slide the battery icon up to cover the plus icon, which
unlocks the battery assembly.

3 Remove the battery assembly by gently pulling the tab
at the bottom of the battery compartment cover.
4 Insert two new AAA-size standard alkaline batteries
into the metal battery clips by pushing them straight in,
placing the negative (–) end of one battery into the
bottom clip, and the positive (+) end of the other
battery into the top clip.
5 With the locking latch in the unlocked position (battery
icon and "minus" icon visible), slide the battery
assembly into the processor module along the battery
guides on the inside of the battery compartment.
6 Make sure the battery assembly is pushed in far
enough that the edges of the assembly slip behind the
plastic housing of the processor module.
7 Pressing lightly on the battery icon on the front of the
battery assembly, slide the locking latch downward to
secure the assembly in place. The "plus" icon and the
battery icon should now be visible on the front of the
battery assembly. This is the locked position.
