On a mini system

Note: Port 1 and 2 are on the ICS.

On a mini or non-expanded system, port 1 on the ICS (station ports 101 to 132) is used for both base stations and Norstar sets. No fiber ports are used since no Station Module is required. Directly connect your base stations or Norstar sets to port 1 on the ICS via a wiring distribution panel.

On a midi system

On midi and maxi systems, the highest numbered ports can be used for both base stations and Norstar sets. Therefore, sets and base stations can share the two highest numbered fiber ports.

A system expanded to four ports (midi size) includes one

2-port expansion cartridge with fiber ports numbered 3 and 4, and 1 and 2 on the ICS. The base stations must be physically connected (via a Station Module) to fiber ports 3 and 4 only. If only one Station Module supporting base stations is required, connect it to the highest-numbered port (port 4).
