To stack PBXs to a KX-NS1000 which is not running currently, refer to "Procedure for Case 1 and Case 2".
Case 2
Stacking PBXs to a Stand-alone KX-NS1000 (running).
To stack PBXs to a KX-NS1000 which is already running, refer to "Procedure for Case 1 and Case 2".
Case 3
Stacking PBXs to a KX-NS1000 running in a One-look network.
To stack PBXs after starting up One-look networking, refer to "Procedure for Case 3".
Note
•
The order of installing legacy gateways to the Master units or Slave units is up to the user.
•
Stop running the One-look network when stacking PBXs to the Master unit.
•
Stop running the site when stacking PBXs to a Slave unit.
Case 4
Stacking PBXs to a Stand-alone KX-NS1000 (running) and then adding the site to a One-look network.
In a One-look network, the Master unit controls the system data of the Slave units.
To start up a One-look network with KX-NS1000s which already have stacked PBX(s), refer to "Procedure for
Case 4".
