The Partner ACS was developed to meet the small business needs for more powerful systems that are easy to use and upgrade. In the past, the small business had to get a large system just to get the additional features that were provided with those larger systems. Not anymore. The power and flexibility of the Partner ACS are enhanced by the ease with which customers can upgrade the system software as more features become available using optional state-of-the-art PCMCIA PC cards that slide into the main processor.

The Partner ACS Digital System comes equipped with two PCMCIA PC card slots that make it a snap for the customers to install future system software upgrades by simply slipping a new credit-card sized PC card into one of its 2 slots. Imagine, you will be able to upgrade the system features and software yourself, while maintaining a system that is always ahead of it's time. You will always have the newest technology available by simply upgrading the PCMCIA card. As your competitors systems become obsolete, you will be always on the cutting edge.

The Partner ACS comes standard with a PC card that provides the only automatic back-up and restore capabilities for system programming available in the small system market. Others will have to follow. The PC card technology will allow customers to retain their original Partner ACS control module (processor) and install future software upgrades as a do-it-yourself job.

The Partner ACS is a member of Lucent's popular Partner family of small business communication systems. The Partner ACS system control module incorporates connections for 3 lines and 8 stations, and can be combined with other Partner modules for increased capacity.
