							Password Programming
2-30   Issue 3   July 1997
! Security Alert:
A correct password permits the remote user access to the
full DEFINITY ECS, including those areas, such as WATS
lines, most liable to toll fraud. Passwords should be as long
as allowed. Passwords should be hard to guess and
therefore should not contain:
nall the same numbers (for example, 88888888)
nsequential characters (for example, 987654321)
ncharacter strings associated with you or with the remote
user or with your business. These include:
— Names
— Birthdays
— Business name
— Telephone number
— Social  security number
nWords and commonly used names
Passwords should use as wide a variety of characters as
possible. Passwords should be changed regularly, at least
on a quarterly basis. Do not recycle old passwords.
NOTE:
If you prefer to allow the Password Manager program to
randomly assign a password, click on the Random button.
An eight-digit number appears in the password block, a
black “x” appears in the Enable Password option button,
and your cursor moves to the User Name block.
b. Click on the Enable Password option button, and a black
“x” appears next to the Enable Password option. Press the
Tab key twice to move your cursor to the User Name block.

c. Type the user’s last name followed by a comma and the
user’s first name. You can use upper- and lower-case
letters to enter the information.
8. To disable a password, click on the Enable Password option
button. The black “x” in the option button is cleared, and the
word DISABLED appears in the password number block. The
password is disabled and cannot be used.
NOTE:
The assigned password information is retained in the file but not
displayed on the window. If at a later date you decide to enable
the user password, the previously assigned password appears
in the password block when you click on Enable Password. You
can keep the password and/or user name or assign a new
password and/or user name by using the procedure described
above.
9. Click on NEXT and repeat Step 7 for each user password.
10. When you have finished with user passwords, click OK, and the
Password Manager window reappears with the information you
have just entered (see Figure 2-7). Select Save File from the
File menu. If you are creating a new file, the Save As window
appears. Choose the directory and drive, and type the file
name. Be sure to include “.fil” in your file name to ensure the file
is displayed when you want to open the file in the future.

12. If you want to compare the currently programmed passwords
with the passwords uploaded in the Extender Rack, select
Verify Passwords from the Com Link menu. Any differences
from the currently displayed password file and the uploaded
passwords on the Extender Rack are displayed. The
information displayed includes the user number and the Switch
Module on which the difference exists.
13. To upload the programmed passwords and logout codes to the
Switch Modules you chose in Step 3, select Upload Passwords.
NOTE:
If you did not select any Switch Modules, the program displays
an error message advising you that no cards have been
selected. When you click on OK, the program automatically
displays the Card Selection window to allow you to select the
Switch Module(s) to which you want to upload passwords.
Follow the instructions in Step 4 to select the module(s).
14. When programming is complete, exit the Password Manager by
selecting Exit from the File menu.

How to install the DEFINITY® Extender Switch Module
After you have programmed passwords for the Standalone Switch
Module, you can physically install it. Installing the Standalone
Switch Module involves choosing a proper location and connecting
the LINE, PORT, and power cords.
Installing the Multi-Mount Rack also involves choosing a proper
location and connecting the power cord. But the Administration Port
is a 9DB port going to a computer, and the LINE port is replaced by
a 50-pin Amphenol connector. The system administrator must
supply the required data cable and the 25-pair Amphenol cable.
NOTE:
The Multi-Mount Rack and the Rack-Mount Modules must be
installed before you can program the Rack-Mount Modules. 
						

							Installation
3-2   Issue 3   July 1997
Location Requirements
To ensure successful operation of the DEFINITY Extender system,
place the Switch Module within 500 feet (150 meters) of the
DEFINITY ECS. The Standalone Switch Module may be mounted
in any position or may be wall-mounted by using the optional wall-
mount bracket. Install the modules power supply and cabling away
from high-power/high-RF noise devices such as computers, fans,
fluorescent ballasts, and power supplies.
Electrical Requirements
Use only the AC adapters provided with the DEFINITY Extender
system. The Extender
 has been designed to operate from 120 vac
60 Hz.
! CAUTION:
Do not apply power to the Switch Module until specifically
instructed in the installation procedures.
NOTE:
Lucent Technologies strongly recommends that you supply both
power and central office line surge protection for the PBX location
and the remote location. Lucent Technologies recommends the
147C Line Surge Protector (#8310-006). Contact your Lucent
Technologies representative for ordering instructions

Wiring Requirements
Use twisted-pair cable for all standalone connections.
Connecting the Standalone
Switch Module
All connections to the Standalone Switch Module are done via the
back panel (see Figure 3-1). Presently no ports are installed for
VOICE or COM 2. The current back panel elements are:
nLINE is the connection between the Switch Module and the
DEFINITY ECS analog circuit pack or the central office line for
transmission of the signaling information. The circuit packs to
which the Switch Module can be connected are the 8-port
TN742 and the 16-port TN746.
nPORT is the connection between the DEFINITY ECS 2-wire,
16-port circuit pack (TN2181) and the Switch Module.
nCOM 1 provides for simultaneous RS-232 communication
between equipment at the off-premise site and the on-premise
site.
n+12VDC is the connection for the A/C adapter.
nThe DIP switch under OPT is used for system configuration.

In addition to the back panel connections, a three-color light-
emitting diode (LED) is visible through the top of each unit and
provides information about the status of the equipment.
Installation Procedure
Installing the Standalone Switch Module involves wiring the module
to the DEFINITY ECS and connecting the power cord. You will
need the applicable wiring to connect the Switch Module to the
DEFINITY ECS. See the 
DEFINITY® Communications System
Generic 3, Installation for Single-Carrier Cabinets 
manual,
document #555-230-894, comcode #107595423, for complete
installation requirements.
Following installation, administer the line and station ports that use
the Standalone Switch Module according to the instructions in
DEFINITY® Communications System Generic 3 Implementation
Guide, Issue 1,
 document #555-230-655.
Follow these steps to install the Switch Module:
1. Ensure that the module has the proper DIP switch configuration
(see Table 3-1).

4 Normal operation Test mode
NOTE:
If the Standalone Switch Module is connected to a standard central
office line or to a DEFINITY analog circuit pack, DIP switch 2
should be set to OFF during normal operation. If the Standalone
Switch Module or Remote Module is connected to a dedicated line
that does not require dialing for connection, DIP switch 2 should be
ON during normal operation.
! CAUTION:
Do not plug the A/C adapters into the electrical outlets until
instructed to do so in the following procedure. 
						

							Installation
3-6   Issue 3   July 1997
! CAUTION:
Connecting the Remote Module to the PBX can result in
damage to the module. Prior to installation, check that you
have the Standalone
 Switch Module by looking at the name
on the top of the unit.
2. Connect the wiring between the DEFINITY analog circuit pack
(the 8-port TN742 or the 16-port TN746) or a dedicated central
office line and the LINE jack of the Standalone Switch module
at the on-premise location. See the 
DEFINITY®
Communications System Generic 3, Installation for Single-
Carrier Cabinets 
manual for complete instructions.
3. If you have not already done so while programming passwords,
connect the Standalone Switch Module PORT jack to the 2-
wire, 16-port TN2181 circuit pack on the DEFINITY ECS. See
the 
DEFINITY® Communications System Generic 3, Installation
for Single-Carrier Cabinets 
manual for complete instructions.
! CAUTION:
Do not plug the line cord into the PORT jack of the
Standalone Switch Module. Damage to circuits may result.
4. Connect the AC adapter provided with your system to the
Standalone Switch Module. Plug the adapter into a standard
120-vac electrical outlet.
