System Modules
The following system modules can be installed in your system:

Primary Processor Module provides the software intelligence that
controls the system’s features. It has jacks for a music-on-hold audio
source, a loudspeaker paging system, and a call reporting (SMDR)
device, such as a printer. It also has a green-wire grounding screw to
properly ground the control unit.
Expansion Processor Module extends the primary processor module’s
software capabilities to the lines and extensions located on modules in
the expansion carrier.
206E Module has jacks to connect a maximum of two outside telephone
lines and six extensions to the system. You can connect telephones and
other telecommunications devices (such as fax machines and modems)
to the extension jacks (either directly or through your building’s modular
wall jacks). Each 206E module has a green power indicator that shows it
is receiving power. The system requires at least one 206E module.
400E Module is similar to the 206E module, but without extension jacks.
It has four outside line jacks. This module is an inexpensive way to add
lines when you do not need more extensions.
206EC/400EC Modules provide the same capabilities as the 206E and
400E modules, but add support for Caller ID information on system
display phones. To get Caller ID, first you must subscribe to the service
from your local phone company (if it is available) on a per-line basis, then
connect those lines associated with Caller ID to the line jacks on the
206EC and/or 400EC modules. Any users with system display phones
who have Caller ID lines assigned to their extensions will get Caller ID.
For more information, see “Caller ID” in Chapter 5.
If you are upgrading from a PARTNER or PARTNER Plus system, you can still
use its 200 modules, each providing two line jacks.
If you want message waiting capability on standard phones that are equipped
with message waiting lights, you must connect those phones to extension jacks
on Release 3.1 (R3.1) 206 modules. Additionally, you need an R3.1 primary
processor module.
Hereafter, references to 206 modules include 206E, 206EC, and all 206 modules
used the previous release on the product. Similarily references to 400
modules include 400E, 400EC, and all 400 modules used with previous releases
of the product.
System Capacity
The combination of 206 and 400 modules installed determines the number of
available lines and extensions. The system allows up to 24 lines and up to 48
extensions; however, these maximums cannot be achieved simultaneously:
■
For maximum line capacity (24 lines), install four 206 modules and four
400 modules. This arrangement allows up to 24 extensions.
■
For maximum extension capacity (48 extensions), install eight 206
modules. This arrangement allows up to 16 lines.
