same host switch telephone number to any number of lines that are
wired to the host switch. The Single Call Arrangement (SCA) of the
MADN feature can be used as a method of twinning a portable and
a wired telephone. The portable and the wired telephone are
assigned the same telephone number (directory number) when
MADN SCA is used. An incoming call rings on both telephones and
can be answered on either. Only one call can be active on all lines
assigned to the host switch telephone number.
A password is a specific sequence of digits entered from the

on the type of Expansion Cartridge (if any) connected to the
Controller. Ports are identified by three-digit numbers. The first digit
identifies the Expansion Cartridge port to which the module is
connected and the last two digits indicate the port number on that
module.
The Companion portable is a battery-powered, pocket-size portable
telephone. The COMPANION 200 system can support up to 152
portables depending on the number of Line Cartridges and Base
