WELCOME TO THE TAUNTON CONFIGURATION PORT OPENING SECTION FOR THE MERIDIAN OPTION 11 TO CURRENT OPTION 81 RANGE OF SYSTEMS. THIS IS A SERVICE FOR BT ENGINEERS ON SITE WHO ARE PROVIDING A EXTN ON AN A/N AND WHO REQUIRES ASSISTANCE. IF YOU ARE PROVIDING A EXTN ON A OPTION 11 SYSTEM, THEN IT IS POSSIBLE TO RELEASE THE PORT YOURSELF BY ACTIVATING A MODEL SET. THIS WILL ONLY TAKE A FEW SECONDS TO DO & YOU WILL NEED TO OBTAIN A SPARE PORT NUMBER ON THE FRAME & A SPARE EXTN NUMBER (THIS CAN BE GIVEN BY THE CUSTOMER!). THE OPTION 11 SYSTEM IS THE SMALL MERIDIAN SWITCHBOARD WHICH IS USUALLY WALL MOUNTED & CONSISTS OF BETWEEN 1 & 3 GREY CABINETS. IF YOU REQUIRE THIS HELP SHEET, THEN PRESS 1 & YOU CAN USE THE "FAX ON DEMAND SERVICE" TO RECEIVE THE 2 PAGES. IF HOWEVER YOU REQUIRE THE HELP OF A ENGINEER THEN PLEASE PRESS 2 & YOU WILL BE CONNECTED. WE WILL NEED FROM YOU A SPARE PORT NUMBER & A SPARE EXTN NUMBER & THAT A BASIC EXTN PORT WILL ONLY BE CONFIGURED OR COPIED.
