14 / Planning the installation

On a mega system

Keep in mind that 10 station modules is the limit for regular Norstar sets, and 2 station modules for Companion Base Stations is the limit on an XC configuration.

For example, a system expanded to 14 ports (mega size) includes two 6-port expansion cartridges with fiber ports numbered 3 to 14 on the expansion cartridges, and 1 and 2 on the ICS. The Base Stations must be physically connected to fiber ports 13 and 14 only. See “12-port Expansion Cartridge with Companion” on page 15.

Tip - In the fully expanded mega configuration, Station Modules 13 and 14 are reserved for Base Stations only.
