Trunk media bay module selection
The number and type of lines coming into your system determine which trunk media bay modules,
and how many modules, you require to support your needs. Trunk lines come from either the
public network (PSTN), or they support connections in a private network.
If you are setting up an entirely new system, a site survey must be done to determine your current
and future needs. Nortel Networks recommend that you do the survey before you order any
modules.
To select the trunk media bay modules:
1 Record the number of each type of line you have in Table 48. If you do not know the number
or type of lines you have, contact your service provider.
2 Use the number of lines and the number of lines per module to determine how many modules
you need.
Note: If you plan to add any lines in the near future, include them in your initial estimates.
