This chapter provides an overview of the Option 11C system applicable for
first-time installations. It covers general design and features as well providing
unique system information.
'HVLJQ#DQG#DUFKLWHFWXUH
The Option 11C is a small wall- or floor-mounted digital system which can
be configured as a system with up to five cabinets.
Up to four expansion cabinets can be connected to the main cabinet using
copper or fiber optic cable. The expansion cabinets can be located up to 3 km
(1.8 mi) from the main cabinet.
Option 11C Mini chassis can also be connected to Option 11C Main cabinets.
Please refer to the Option 11C Mini Expansion Guide, NTP 553-3021-208,
for more information.
Call processing, serial ports and network traffic are handled by an MC68040
processor located on the Small System Controller (SSC) card in the main
cabinet. Processing is significantly increased in comparison with previous
Option 11 systems.
The Option 11C uses global software found in other members of the Meridian
1 family. It can be configured as a key system or as a Private Branch
Exchange (PBX).
Line cards and trunk cards used in the Option 11C are the same as those used
in other Meridian 1 systems, with the addition of some specially designed
cards used in the Option 11C system.

The Option 11C can be configured as a non-blocking system as it does not
need to be provisioned for speech paths or timeslots.
(DV\#WR#LQVWDOO#DQG#SURJUDP
The system is shipped with a Software Daughterboard which is
pre-configured with system and customer data.
The Software Installation Program is automatically invoked during first-time
installation of the Option 11C system. This is a menu driven program which
installs the software and makes the Option 11C operational.

The user has a variety of pre-programmed model telephone layouts from
which to choose. Using telephone layouts or templates, technicians can
perform a few simple steps at installation to activate multiple telephones.
$GPLQLVWUDWLRQ#WHOHSKRQH
If the default model layouts for telephones and trunk routes are used, an
administrative telephone is all that is required to make adjustments to such
things as the numbering plan and access codes. A TTY input terminal is not
required for programming the Option 11C unless a custom layout is used.
The telephones used for administrative functions can be an M2616, M2008
orM3900digitaltelephone.These phonsecanalso doubleas a user’sworking
telephone.
&KDQJLQJ#RU#UHPRYLQJ#SUH0SURJUDPPHG#GDWD
If the pre-programmed data is not applicable to users at a particular site, the
data can be revised on-site with a TTY, or remotely over a modem
connection. If desired, the user can start with the minimal amount of data
required for initial software programming which is the configuration record.
This step must be performed while the user is in the Software Installation
Program.

The Set-Based Administration feature simplifies system installation and
administration by enabling a telephone set to perform several administrative
and maintenance procedures. Examples such as changing data associated
with specific set-related features, or changing Calling Party Name Display on
a particular set, can be performed through the Set-Based Administration
feature.
For more information about Set-based Administration, refer to the X11
System Management Application Guide, NTP 553-3001-303.

The Option 11Callows a total of five users access to log in, load, and execute
overlays simultaneously. For example, if you have expansion cabinets, users
can access the system through the Main or Expansion cabinets at the same
time.
Three Serial Data Interface (SDI) ports are provided on the Main cabinet’s
Small System Controller (SSC) card, while each expansion cabinet can be
accessed through one SDI port on each Expansion cabinet Fiber Receiver
card.
The advantage of multiple-terminal access is that it allows for more efficient
programming and maintenance of the Option 11C, especially when system
cabinets are located up to 3 km (1.8 mi) apart.

The specially designed Meridian Mail comes pre-configured with mailboxes
already setup for pre-programmed extensions. If the numbering plan is being
modified, then the mailboxes can be changed from any TTY used for
Option 11C administration.
)XOO\#IHDWXUHG
Option 11C comes with software for applications such as Automatic Call
Distribution, Voice Mail, Automatic Route Selection, Automatic Set
Relocation, and Attendant Administration, to name a few.
The Meridian Mail application comes equipped standard with features like
Voice Menus, Automated Attendant, and Hospitality Voice Services.

Meridian Mail Networking is available on advanced Meridian Mail systems.
There is a choice of software available offering everything from General
Business features to Advanced Applications. First-time installations are
performed from the Software Daughterboard that is initially provided with
the new system. Upgrades to new software releases are performed using a
Software Delivery card (PCMCIA card).
8QLTXH#2SWLRQ#44&#HOHPHQWV
The Option 11C system is characterized by the following unique elements:
• Software Delivery card (PCMCIA)
• Flash Drives (primary and backup)
• Software Daughterboard
• Security Device which validates keycodes for features assigned to this
system.
6RIWZDUH#'HOLYHU\#FDUG
The Option 11C uses a Software Delivery card (PCMCIA card) to upgrade
system software and to provide storage for a backup copy of customer data.
The Software Delivery card is inserted in a specially designed socket in the
faceplate of the NTDK20 Small System Controller (SSC) card. Once
inserted, software and customer databases can be loaded from the card to the
Flash Drive daughterboard on the NTDK20 Small System Controller (SSC)
card.

The Main cabinet houses the Small System Controller (SSC) card and can be
connected to up to four Expansion cabinets to increase the line capacity of the
system. Each cabinet provides ten additional Intelligent Peripheral
Equipment (IPE) slots to the system.
&DEOH#FRQQHFWRUV
Connectors for cables to the cross-connect terminal are found at the bottom
of each cabinet.
The AUX, SDI and Ethernet connectors are located at the bottom left-hand
side of the cabinets. The AUX port connects auxiliary equipment such as a
Power fail transfer unit (PFTU) to the Option 11C in each cabinet. The SDI
connector in the main cabinet interfaces three SDI ports using a three-port
SDI cable. In expansion cabinets, the SDI connector interfaces with one SDI
port. The Ethernet connector inthe main cabinet provides a 10 Mbps Ethernet
port.

The NTAK11 cabinet is designed to permit natural convection cooling.

Two types of power supply are available for the system:
• The NTDK78 AC/DC power supply (see Figure 2 on page 19)
• The NTDK72 DC power supply is used when the cabinet is powered by
a -52 V dc source.

Three types of reserve battery power can be used with the Option 11C system:
• The NTAK75 battery box (shown in Figure 3 on page 20) provides a
minimum of two hours of reserve DC power.

If the NTDK78 AC/DC power supply is powered down while it is
operating on DC reserve power from a battery backup unit, the
Option 11C system cannot be powered up again until AC power is
restored. Be careful not to open the circuit breaker, either on the
battery backup unit or on the NTDK78, while the system is operating
on battery backup.
