■ Check the customer’s order.

■ Lay out and ensure appropriate power.
■ Lay out and ensure appropriate grounding.
■ Determine location of equipment closets.
■ Determine location of external trunk lines.
■ Create a provisioning plan.
Check the Customer’s Order
Determine what was ordered for the customer: DEFINITY System Generic 3, the
number of cabinets, port networks, management terminals, adjuncts, consoles,
telephones, modems, external trunks, etc.
NOTE:
One port network is equivalent to one single-carrier-cabinet stack.
Throughout this document, “cabinet” sometimes refers to one single-carrier
cabinet and sometimes refers to one
stack
of single-carrier cabinets,
according to the context. An attempt has been made to use “single-carrier
cabinet (SCC)” to mean exactly that and to use the more general term,
“cabinet,” to mean a stack of one or more single-carrier cabinets or a port
network. A “system” is one or more single carrier cabinet stacks.
