Nortel Networks MICS-XC manual On a maxi system, Six-port Expansion Cartridge with Companion

Planning the installation / 13

On a maxi system

A system expanded to 8 ports (maxi size) includes one 6-port expansion cartridge with fiber ports numbered 3 to 8, and 1 and 2 on the ICS. The Base Stations must be physically connected (via a Station Module) to fiber ports 7 and 8 only.There is a maximum number of two Station Modules per Base Station. See “Six-port Expansion Cartridge with Companion” on page 13.

If only one Station Module supporting Base Stations is required, connect it to the highest-numbered port (port 8).

Tip - If Both ports 7 and 8 are used for connecting Station Modules supporting Base Stations, connect Trunk Modules starting at port 6 and working down. Connect Station Modules (for Norstar desk sets) beginning at port 3 and working up.
