This appendix provides some information about the hardware and software capacities for the system. Environmental requirements for the control unit and power and grounding requirements are contained in the Equipment and Operations Reference.

You can configure the system as a standalone unit or as part of a private network. Maximum system capacities are as follows:

■Up to 108 simultaneous two-party conversations

■Up to 80 line/trunk jacks, including loop-start, ground-start, DID, and tie

■Up to 255 extension endpoints that support a combination of the following:

—Up to 255 physical extension jacks for telephones and adjuncts

—Up to 127 logical digital data ports (through 7500B data modules connected to jacks on the MLX module) providing RS-232 connections to data terminals and personal computers

■System call-handling capability of 3828 hundred call seconds per hour (ccs/hr)

■Up to three 100D DS1 modules

■Up to five 800 NI-BRI modules (Release 4.0 and later only)

The system has a total capacity of 335 jacks (80 outside lines/trunks plus 255 extensions); however, each MLX module extension jack supports two logical endpoints (extension devices that can operate simultaneously and independently of each other). For example, an MLX telephone with a Multi-Function Module (MFM) plugs into one extension jack, but the jack supports both the telephone and the equipment (for example, a fax or an answering machine) connected to the MFM.
