Installing Your System

Step 2: Plan Your Installation

Up to 16 Epic System telephones may be connected to form your office/home configuration. Each phone must be assigned a different station number, from 11 to 26.

IMPORTANT: Each Epic System telephone must be connected to the same Line 1 telephone number for proper operation. The remaining lines may or not be con- nected to each station as you desire.

Standard Installation:

Your Epic telephones come factory-set for a standard “Shared” installation, which is also called “square” in telephone terminology. This means that Line 1 is to be connected to the same Line 1 telephone number at all the stations, Line 2 is to be connected to the same Line 2 telephone number at all the stations, and so on for Lines 3 and 4.

This is the desired setup for most installations, and if this is how you will be con- necting your Epic System, you do not need to change any of the line connection settings in the telephones. You need only connect the phones to the telephone lines, and then follow the instructions on page 9 to be sure that you have con- nected the telephone numbers in the same order to each station.

Installations with Private Lines, Auxiliary Lines, and Unconnected Lines: You may wish to connect private lines to Lines 2, 3 or 4 at some or all of your tele- phones. A private line is a telephone number that is connected to only one of the Epic telephones, and is not shared with any other station. You may also wish to connect auxiliary lines to Lines 2, 3 or 4 at some of your telephones. An auxiliary line is a telephone number that is shared by two or more stations, but which is a different telephone number than the corresponding line at the other stations. These sort of installation requirements are common in Centrex environments, or in companies where clusters of telephones share common lines. In addition you may wish to leave some lines unconnected at some stations.

If your installation has any of these requirements, carefully fill out the worksheet on the following page and use it as a guide as you connect the telephone lines to your Epic telephones, then follow the instructions on page 19 to properly set

each line at each station.
