your system or to add lines and/or extensions as your business grows.
Direct connections for industry-standard devices—including most

Optional equipment support, including doorphones, loudspeaker paging
systems, music on hold*, call reporting (often referred to as Station

extra alerts.
System Components
Modular hardware design makes the system easy to install and expand. Figure
1-1 shows an example of system components.
Control Unit
The control unit is the heart of the system; it is made up of one or two carriers,
and it houses the system modules. You can use either the primary carrier, or
the primary carrier and the expansion carrier if you need more lines and
extensions. Each carrier housing includes a backplane and a cover. All system
modules slide into the backplane, which channels power to the system. The
cover slides onto the front of the backplane after all the system modules have
been installed.
WARNING:
There are no customer-serviceable components inside the system
modules or backplane. There are hazardous voltages within that can
cause severe or fatal personal injury. DO NOT OPEN THE MODULES.
