Remote Service
DEFINITY ECS’s remote-service capabilities allow greater flexibility in configuring 
your system. Although the system has high capacity and supports up to 25,000 
lines, you may need to serve some users who are far from the main system. To 
satisfy these needs, you can use remote Expansion Port Networks using 
fiber-optic links. For locations further apart, you can connect a port network 
remotely over one to four T1 or E1 lines using a converter.
The number of T1 or E1 lines required to support the remote port network 
depends on the requirements of the remote port network. For example, with four 
T1/E1 lines, a maximum of 92 or 120 simultaneous voice and/or data connections 
can be made between the remote port network and the DEFINITY ECS. Four 
channels are reserved for signaling between the remote port network and the 
system.
Power
DEFINITY ECS can accept a variety of AC or DC power. The system can operate 
without requiring a power transformer in almost any part of the world.
During a power outage, individual cabinets (single or multicarrier) will continue to 
function for up to 15 seconds; the multicarrier cabinet will function for up to 10 
minutes without power, depending on configuration. Optionally, an uninterruptible 
power supply can protect a DEFINITY ECS system from under or over-voltage 
conditions, line frequency fluctuations, and power blackout of short duration. A 
battery backup system can be used to provide power for up to 8 hours, depend-
ing on the type and quantity of circuit packs and amount of traffic during the 
holdover period.
Software 
All DEFINITY ECS systems throughout the world use the same basic software. To 
provide this commonality while still accommodating wide variations in 
configurations and options, the system dynamically allocates internal memory 
storage. Memory is sized when the system is initialized, selecting the proper 
software parameters based on the hardware configuration.
In addition to the basic software, various optional packages can enhance the 
capabilities of the system. Some of the capabilities described in this document 
require optional software. See your account representative for more information. 
The basic software is a prerequisite for all the optional packages.
