When your system is installed, when you change the system operating mode, or
when you expand your system, a Lucent Technologies technician calculates the
when you expand your system, a Lucent Technologies technician calculates the
unit load
on your system and determines your overall power needs. A unit load is
a measure of power used to determine the electrical load that the following
components have on each carrier’s power supply:
components have on each carrier’s power supply:
■
Telephones and adjuncts
■
800 DID modules
Only the telephones and adjuncts that connect to the analog and MLX extension
jacks on the control unit require unit load calculation, not equipment that has its
own power supply (for example, a fax machine, an MFM, or an answering
machine). If, after a system is changed, additional power is required for the control
unit, your Lucent Technologies representative sees that an auxiliary power unit is
installed.

NOTE:
Some system power supplies limit the number of 100D modules and 800
NI-BRI modules (Release 4.0 and later systems only) installed in a carrier.
A newer power supply, the 391A3, eliminates the restriction. Consult your
Lucent Technologies representative for details.

An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) unit can provide battery backup for power
to the system. Basic UPS provides power for 15 minutes; however, you can add
reserve UPS units to basic UPS. Each reserve unit extends backup power for an
additional hour.

The KS22911-L1 and 329A power units provide additional power to MLX or
analog multiline telephones that have adjuncts, adapters, or two DSSs attached
(MLX telephones only), or to telephones located far from the control unit.

These power units are installed between the telephone and the wall jack. Adding
local power to a few telephones can reduce system load.
