Configuring a
Line Card Port
Each NBX 4-Port Analog Line Card provides access for up to four local
telephone lines into your NBX system. The Call Processor treats a line card
port as an extension, so each line card port needs its own extension
number.
You use Auto Discovery to detect Line Card ports, and you define the
starting address for Auto Discovery of devices in the system dial plan. For
a 3-digit dial plan, the default starting address is 750; for a 4-digit dial
plan, the default starting address is 7250. Auto Discovery assigns the first
unassigned number, starting at 750 (or 7250 for a 4-digit dial plan), to
the first Line Card port.
You typically configure 4-Port Line Cards during installation. See the NBX
Installation Guide for more information.
If you remove a line card from the system, the port information remains in
the database. The extension numbers assigned to the four ports do not
become available for reuse unless you use the NBX NetSet utility to
remove the line card from the configuration database.

When you configure a line card port, you can assign it as a member of a
line pool.
You can configure a line card port automatically (recommended) or
manually.
Verify that you have chosen a 3-digit or 4-digit dial plan before you begin
to configure line card ports. See Chapter 2.
