Using a KIM as a central answer position

When you deploy a CAP consisting of a T7316E telephone and one or more KIMs, the modules can be configured as eKIMs by your installer. If you do not need lines or hunt group appearances on the KIMs, there is no requirement for any system configuration. This configuration of the KIM is called an ordinary KIM (OKIM) and you can install up to nine modules on a T7316.

Note: You must have version 6.1 or newer software to program this type of CAP.

It is best if the CAP is the prime telephone and direct-dial telephone for the lines and telephones it serves.
