Hardware OptionsMeridian Communications Adapter (MCA)
You can establish data calls with the Meridian Communications Adapter by
connecting your digital telephone to a computer terminal or PC. In this way you
can communicate with another computer using your telephone.
This option requires the addition of the Power Supply Board on the
M2216ACD-1.
Key Expansion Module
This option provides 22 additional function keys on your phone. You can add up
to two Key Expansion Modules for a total of 60 function keys (16 + 22 + 22).
Extra keys are often used as Auto Dial keys or Agent keys, but any of the
Meridian 1 features can be assigned to them.
This option requires the addition of the Power Supply Board on the
M2216ACD-1.
External Alerter Interface
This module provides an interface to standard remote alerting devices, such as a
ringing unit installed in a location which is remote from the telephone.
The External Alerter Interface is not the remote ringer itself, but provides access to
standard, off-the-shelf remote ringing devices.
This option requires the addition of the Power Supply Board on the
M2216ACD-1.
Analog Terminal Adapter (ATA)
The ATA allows you to connect an analog device such as a modem or fax machine
to your telephone. The ATA allows you to use these devices while you are on a
