On a mega system

Keep in mind that 10 station modules is the limit for regular Norstar sets, and two 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. 12-port Expansion Cartridge with Companion on page 12

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