The T7406E connects to the Nortel KSU. Up to four lines run from the KSU to the T7406E base
station. Each base station, of which there can be a maximum of two within 10 meters of each other,
can accommodate a maximum of four handsets. The handset IDs (1, 2, 3, 4) correspond to lines 1,
2, 3, and 4 from the KSU.
The handset features are easy to set up using the function key and menus.
