Introduction
DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions OverviewDEFINITY® ProLogix™ Solutions is an extremely flexible, global communications system that you can 
design to get precisely the features and functionality your mid-sized business locations need. As your 
business grows and your needs change, you can select the tools you need to help manage your time and 
communications processes effectively, including an array of prepackaged advanced applications (known as 
“Application Starter Packages”) and service and support options. 
DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions is a member of the powerful DEFINITY family and provides many of the 
features found in the other DEFINITY ECS systems. As your company grows, DEFINITY ProLogix 
Solutions gives you the ability to migrate easily and cost-effectively to the larger DEFINITY ECS. If you 
move to the DEFINITY ECS, you will keep all of the DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions applications and 
almost all of your hardware, thereby protecting your initial investment.
Depending on your needs, DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions can cover a single site or network multiple 
locations (for example, a satellite office within a larger business or branch locations around the world). 
Multisite companies can centrally maintain their DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions via remote diagnostics and 
alarming and can centrally administer their system using one of our system administration tools.

							1  Application Starter PackagesDEFINITY ProLogix Solutions Release 2 Overview 
555-235-100 Issue 2 June 1999 1-4
Application Starter PackagesDEFINITY ProLogix Solutions offers Application Starter Packages that enable you to implement advanced 
applications at your own pace, easily and cost effectively in small sizes. When you are ready, you can 
increase the capacity of the Starter Packages you purchase. Refer to the individual section for more details 
about each Starter Package.
The following Starter Packages are available:
•
Virtual Office
The Virtual Office Starter Package lets you provide voice and data access for off-
site workers and telecommuters. Ideal for businesses with employees who often 
work at home or other remote locations, this package allows workers to access 
your business LAN or the Internet from a remote office or home. Off-site 
workers can even receive telephone calls using a single telephone number no 
matter where they are, enabling them to work where needed.
•
Wireless
The Wireless Starter Package enhances mobility within your business locations 
by enabling employees to receive important calls when they are away from their 
desks. Available in single-zone and multizone packages for anywhere from 1 to 
25 users, the Wireless Starter Package gives workers convenient business calling 
features in compact handsets.
Packages are available for DEFINITY Wireless Business Systems as well as 
TransTalk 9000 systems.

Information Management 
The Information Management Starter Package includes the software you need to 
collect, modify, and synchronize directory information from a wide variety of 
sources (such as PBXs, telecom databases, and corporate databases) and then

Differences between 
DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions and DEFINITY ECSDEFINITY ProLogix Solutions is a member of the powerful DEFINITY family and provides most of the 
features found in other DEFINITY ECS systems. (Appendix A provides a list of the features supported by 
DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions.) However, there are some differences between DEFINITY ProLogix 
Solutions and the DEFINITY ECS as listed below:
•
DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions uses a new cabinet, processor, and power supply 
(R7csi).
•
DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions does not support DC power.
•
DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions does not support Common Control duplication.
•
DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions does not support an internal modem for the 
remote access port. Instead, an external modem is used.
•
DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions supports a maximum of 600 total ports:  a 
maximum of 400 trunks/500 stations.
•
DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions does not support Expansion Port Networks 
(EPNs).

•
DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions does not support BX.25 system links that are 
used for INTUITY/DEFINITY AUDIX DCIU Integration, R3 Call Management 
System (CMS), CentreVu CMS, or for signaling for DCS networks. However, C-
LAN supports TCP/IP connectivity for DCS networking and adjuncts such as 
CentreVu CMS and AUDIX systems. 
For more detailed information on the system’s robust capabilities, see the DEFINITY ECS Release 7 System 
Description Pocket Reference, Issue 4, 555-230-211, and the DEFINITY ECS Release 7 Administrator’s 
Guide, Issue 1, 555-233-502, which are available on your documentation library compact disk (CD).  
						

							1 HardwareDEFINITY ProLogix Solutions Release 2 Overview 
555-235-100 Issue 2 June 1999 1-8
HardwareThe main component of DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions is the new R7csi model, which uses the TN798B 
processor (a RISC-based central processing unit) and TN2182B Tone-Clock. The TN798B supervises 
system operation.CabinetsCabinets are enclosed shelves composed of vertical slots that hold circuit packs. Circuit packs make up the 
logic, memory, and switching circuitry for the system. Port circuit packs connect to telephones, computers, 
and trunks. The cabinets are designed to accept any type of port circuit pack in each circuit pack position.
The circuit packs fit into connectors attached to the rear of the slots. Every connector is connected to signal 
buses and power supplies in the cabinet. The cabinets also house the equipment that supplies ringing signal 
voltage and mass storage for software translations. Each compact modular cabinet has its own power supply 
and supports 10 universal slots. The first cabinet uses two slots for the processor and the tone clock.

The compact modular cabinet weighs 50 to 60 lbs. and has the following dimensions:
•
height: 24.5 inches (62.2 cm)
•
width: 25.5 inches (64.8 cm)
•
depth: 11.3 inches (28.7 cm)
The R7csi has the following characteristics:
•
It uses the compact modular cabinet (CMC). 
•
Each CMC has its own power supply.
•
Up to three cabinets can be connected together in a single-port network.
•
It enables small organizations to expand while keeping the initial investment 
moderate.
•
It is mounted on a wall. However, it can be mounted on a table or floor as long as 
only one cabinet is required. For approved mounting configurations, refer to the 
Installation and Maintenance guide on the Library CD.
•
It contains 10 universal port slots.
•
The first two universal port slots in the first cabinet are typically used for the 
TN798B processor and the TN2182B Tone-Clock. (However, these slots are not 
dedicated to the processor and Tone-Clock.)
