Introduction to the DEFINITY 
system
This section provides you with general information about the DEFINITY ECS 
and some of the system-wide functions. It explains how to understand your 
configuration, read and use your dial plan, and shows you how to make simple 
changes such as adding extension ranges. This section also explains how to assign 
feature access codes (FAC).
Understanding your configuration
At a very basic level, the DEFINITY ECS consists of hardware to perform call 
processing, and the software to make it run. You use the administration interface 
to let the system know what hardware you have, where it is located, and what you 
want the software to do with it. 
You can find out which circuit packs are in the system and which ports are 
available by entering the command 
list configuration all
. There are variations on 
this command that display different types of configuration information. Use the 
help function to experiment, and see which command works for you.
1. To view a list of port boards on your system, type

port-network 
and press 
RETURN
