On a maxi system
A system expanded to 8 ports (maxi size) includes one 6-port
expansion cartridge with fiber ports numbered 3 to 8, and 1
and 2 on the ICS. The Base Stations
must be physically
connected (via a Station Module) to fiber ports 7 and 8
only.There is a maximum number of two Station Modules per
Base Station. See “Six-port Expansion Cartridge with
Companion” on page 13.
If only one Station Module supporting Base Stations is
required, connect it to the highest-numbered port (port 8).

Tip -
If Both ports 7 and 8 are used for connecting
Station Modules supporting Base Stations, connect
Trunk Modules starting at port 6 and working down.
Connect Station Modules (for Norstar desk sets)
beginning at port 3 and working up.
