Modularity can be thought of as the implementation of acomplex system through a set of functional units or modules connected bywell-defined interfaces. As a result of proper module and interface design,the various units can be connected, disconnected, modified or improvedwithout affecting either the operation of the other modules in the systemor the system as a whole.This modularity gives the system flexibility in physical layout and function,in providing special features and in system expansion. The cabinetizedMeridian SL-100 can be adapted to specific customer line, trunk and servicecircuit requirements through additional engineering.Advantages of the cabinetThe cabinetized Meridian SL-100 offers these benefits:• Provides pre-cabled, factory-assembled, and tested cabinets; thus,reducing on-site installation or commissioning intervals.• Provides a modular system that easily expands and accommodatesvariations in system size and feature choices and allows integrationof future system enhancements.• Eliminates the need for additional external earthquake bracing by usingprebraced steel cabinets.• Presents a modern, computer-style appearance, ideally suited forcomputer rooms having raised flooring and low, suspended ceilings.• Shortens delivery time.Communication Server 2100Meridian SL-100 Product Guide555-4001-103 20.01 StandardSE09 20 October 2006Copyright © 2006, Nortel Networks Nortel Networks Confidential.
