Estimating CCS per terminal
Estimate the station and trunk CCS per terminal (CCS/T) for the installation 
of a system using any one of the following methods:
comparative method
manual calculation
default method
Comparative method
Select three existing systems which have a record of traffic study data. The 
criteria for choosing comparative systems are:
similar line size (+ 25 percent)
similar business (such as bank, hospital, insurance, manufacturing)
similar locality (urban or rural)
Once similar systems have been selected, their station, trunk, and intra CCS/
T are averaged. The averages are then applied to calculate trunk requirements 
for the system being provisioned (see the example in Table 17).
