DADMIN LOGIN
nAdministration of the dadmin login uses the standard DEFINITY® login and 
permission form interfaces.
nDadmin Login replaces Inads Login for Distributors.
nThe dadmin login ID, restricts access to commands that are limited to 
Lucent Services.
nThe dadmin login service level is located between the inads and craft 
logins service levels in the system administration/maintenance login 
permission hierarchy. 
Restart Strategy for Dadmin Login
nLogin administration parameters are retained for the dadmin login on 
recovery level 1 (warm) and recovery level 2 (cold) restarts and require 
retrieval from a translation storage device for all other restart levels. 
*The maximum number of logins does not include the “mis” login which is used 
internally by the system to establish connections to call management systems, 
CMS.

Feature to Feature Interactions
Access Security Gateway (ASG)
nASG authentication not required by default for the dadmin login. 
nASG field on the dadmin login form defaults to n(o) and all fields that 
appear on the Access Security Gateway page of the login form are 
unassigned or set to system defaults. 
nSecret Key field is not defaulted for the dadmin login.
Constraints and Limitations
nThe number of logins supported for various system configurations is 
increased by one to accommodate the addition of the “dadmin” login.
Customer Options
nAdministration of Version and Location fields remain under “init” control on 
the System Parameters Customer Options forms. 
Offer Categorization
nAdministration remains under the control of the init login.
Enable/Disable Login
nThe system supports execution of the enable and disable login commands 
for the dadmin login. 
nPermission to execute these commands for the dadmin login is restricted to 
the init and dadmin logins, and to the inads login, if it has been 
administered to have “Administer Permissions” permissions.
nIt is possible for the dadmin login to disable itself by executing the disable 
login dadmin command. 
nExecution of the command will not terminate the current login session, 
however, subsequent attempts to log in to the system using the dadmin 
login will be denied. 
nRe-enabling the dadmin login must be performed by the init login or the 
inads login, if it has been administered to have “Administer Permissions”.
Optical Drive (TN2211)
nThe TN2211 Optical Drive is a direct replacement for the TN1656 Tape 
Drive, and offers the following:
nThe TN2211 provides removable storage for software upgrades, translation 
backups, announcement file backups, and core dumps

nThe TN2211 Optical Drive resolves several problems related to the tape 
drive such as availability, cost, performance, reliability, and storage 
capacity.
nThe TN2211 is designed to be less expensive and more reliable than the 
TN1656. 
nInstallation and Upgrade procedures for the TN2211 optical drive are 
nearly the same as for the TN1656 tape drive. 
nThe tape commands are replaced by removable-media commands.
— test tape becomes test removable-media, or test rem for the 
shorthand version.
nAn optical drive is faster than a tape drive, but it is not related to call flow.
— A full backup to an optical disk cartridge takes approximately 20 
minutes, compared to about 95 minutes for a tape.

Configuration
nThe configuration is a G3r switch (simplex or duplex) with a TN2211 Optical 
Drive and a UN332C MSSNET OR a TN1656 Tape Drive and a UN332B 
MSSNET. 
nAll commands using tape are replaced by  removable-media. 
nCommands such as test tape, busy tape, release tape, etc. are replaced by 
removable-media. 
— The commands are test removable-media, busy removable-media, 
etc. removable-media can be shortened to rem (test rem, busy rem).
nIf a user enters tape instead of removable-media, the error/help message 
“tape is no longer valid; use removable-media” is displayed on the SAT.
nAll instances of tape on output displays are replaced with removable-media 
or R-MEDIA as appropriate.
nBoth the tape drive and optical drive are supported by R8 software. 
nG3r switches running R8 software are shipped with the TN2211 Optical 
Drive and the UN332C MSSNET
— New switches are shipped with the TN1656 Tape Drive and 
hardware
nThe UN332C MSSNET must be used with the TN2211 Optical Drive. 
NOTE:
UN332C MSSNET is backward-compatible with the UN332B.  UN332C 
will work with a tape drive
.
Serviceability
nA (remote) maintenance user can identify between the two drive types by 
using the list config command to determine the TN code. 
nThe tape commands are replaced with removable-media commands (rem 
for short).
nA user can verify the correct suffix of the UN332C by reading the circuit 
pack label or reading the output from the list configuration control 
command.
Upgrades
nTypically, a defective tape drive will be replaced with another tape drive for 
existing systems. 
nCustomers are not required to upgrade the tape drive to an optical drive for 
bugfix. 
nFor “purchased” upgrades to R8, the customer will are required to upgrade 
to the TN2211 optical drive and UN332C MSSNET.

nThe procedure to both upgrade from pre-R8 to R8 and to change from a 
TN1656 to a TN2211 at the same time is not supported. 
nServices must upgrade the hardware first (TN1656 to a TN2211 and a 
UN332B to a UN332C), then upgrade to the R8 software.
— The hardware must be upgraded prior to the software. 
nThis will take advantage of the faster optical drive technology 
for some of the upgrade steps. 
nThis does not require that the new software be shipped on 
two different media forms (tape and optical disk cartridge). 
nReplacement of the tape drive with the optical drive does not impact the 
call preserving nature of the upgrade.

Maintenance
NOTE:
Refer to Definity ECS Release 8.2 Upgrades and Additions for R8r, 555-
233-115, Issue 1.
nA TN2211 is maintained in software as if it were a TN1656. 
nAfter inserting an optical  disk cartridge, the access lamp of the drive 
should be on for a few seconds, then should turn off. 
— Access lamp blinking afterwards typically means a car tridge should 
be reinserted. 
Maintenance Object appears as “R-MEDIA”
nThe Maintenance Object appears as R-MEDIA for either the TN1656 or the 
TN2211. 
nThis Maintenance Object is used in the output of commands such as 
display alarms, display errors, test removable-media, etc., and functions as 
follows:
— If an error or alarm log contains an entry for TAPE, the description 
changes to R-MEDIA after the software has been upgraded to R8.
nThe list config command output describes the TN1656 and the TN2211 as 
R-MEDIA DRIVE.
nBoth the tape and optical drives are now generically described as R-
MEDIA DRIVE. 
— The only way to differentiate between the two drives in R8 is to look 
at the TN code via the list config command.
No limit on the number of accesses
nThe software is not limited the number of accesses of an optical disk 
cartridge.
NOTE:
Important! The TN2211 Optical Drive does NOT require cleaning.
Any attempt to clean the optical drive will damage it.
nThe LMM  will display TAPE on boot-up on the SAT, even if an optical drive 
and optical disk cartridge are present. 
nIn duplicated systems, either carrier may have an optical drive or a tape 
drive, since software supports 
both. 
nThe drives can be mixed between carriers (one carrier has a TN1656, the 
other has a TN2211).

U.S. Analog Trunk & Line Circuit Pack TN797
Description
This c irc uit p ac k is the c omb ination 8-p ort Analog  Trunk and  Line Circ uit Pac k, 
TN797, for the US, Canad a, and  like c ountries. This p rovid es the user with the 
c ap ability to ad minister any of the 8 p orts of this analog  c irc uit p ac k as a:
nCentral Offic e trunk, either loop  start or g round  start,
nCAMA E911 trunk,
nDirec t Inward  Dialing  trunk, either wink start or immed iate start; or
nAn analog line, on or off-p remises, with or without LED messag e waiting  
ind ic ation.
One way of visualizing  the c ap ab ilities of this c irc uit p ac k is to think that when a 
port is administered as a CO trunk, its capabilities will be similar to those of a port 
of the analog  CO trunk TN747B (or the TN429D used  for CAMA/E911); if the p ort 
is ad ministered as a DID trunk, its c ap abilities will b e similar to those of the DID 
trunk TN753B, and  if ad ministered  as a line c irc uit, its c ap abilities will b e similar 
to those of the analog line TN746B.
Note that the TN797 c irc uit p ac k d oes not sup p ort ICLID on the analog  trunk to 
the CO, nor Caller ID on the line sid e to a terminal. Ad d itional c ap ab ilities, 
inc lud ing  ad d itional international features, are b eing  p lanned for a future release 
of this c irc uit pac k.
One interesting  ap p lic ation of this c irc uit p ac k is to p rovide Emerg enc y Transfer 
c ap abilities to a system whic h has only DS1 c onnec tivity to the c entral offic e, or 
to one that has only d ig ital terminals. This c irc uit p ac k will p ermit  analog  
c onnec tivity to the c entral offic e from analog  terminals using  only one p ort slot.
There are no c hang es req uired  in Call Proc essing  for this c irc uit pac k. 
The TN797 c irc uit p ac k sup p orts all analog terminals sup p orted  b y the similar 
analog  c irc uit p ac ks mentioned ab ove. However, neon lamp  messag e waiting  
indic ation is not sup p orted  b y this c irc uit p ac k.
TN2313 DS1 Interface (US (24-Channel) or
 International (32-Channel))
The TN2313 DS1 port board interfaces a DS1 trunk to the switch backplane via 
port slots that are standard for DEFINITY products. The TN2313 is compatible 
with previous DS1 circuit packs, including the TN464F (V19 and below), the 
TN2464 (V19 and below), and the TN767E DS1, except that it does not provide 
for packet adjunct capabilities. The TN2313 supports a variety of applications, 
including networking of DEFINITY switches, international trunk types, video 
teleconferencing, and wideband data transmission.
