About this document
This document is a global document. Contact your system supplier or your
Nortel Networks representative to verify that the hardware and software
described are supported in your area.
Subject
This Nortel Networks Publication (NTP) is a reference tool for first-time
installation of a Small System. In addition to complete installation
instructions, it includes information about Survivability and the Central
Answering Position (CAP) feature.
Installation sections explain how to install all four Small Systems:
• Meridian 1 Option 11C Chassis
• Meridian 1 Option 11C Cabinet
• Succession 1000M Chassis
• Succession 1000M Cabinet
The Succession 1000M Chassis and Succession 1000M Cabinet are Small
Systems equipped with a Succession Signaling Server. For more information
about the Succession Signaling Server and installation of its hardware and
software, refer to Signaling Server: Installation and Configuration
(553-3001-212).
In addition to describing the Survivability feature, this NTP explains how to
configure a Small System for Survivability.

Information about the Central Answering Position (CAP) feature includes the
following:
• a description of what the CAP is and a list of the required equipment
• procedures for configuring the CAP
• procedures for installing and removing key expansion modules
• procedures for logging onto the ACD queue
• a description of the common CAP features, including step-by-step
procedures on how to use these features
Note on legacy products and releases
This NTP contains information about systems, components, and features that
are compatible with Succession 3.0 Software. For more information on
legacy products and releases, click the Technical Documentation link under

Small System that supports an upgrade path to a Succession 1000M
Small System.
Note the following:
• When an Option 11C Mini system is upgraded to run Succession 3.0
Software, that system becomes a Meridian 1 Option 11C Chassis.
• When an Option 11C system is upgraded to run Succession 3.0 Software,
that system becomes a Meridian 1 Option 11C Cabinet.
