your system or to add lines and/or extensions as your business grows.
Direct connections for industry-standard devices—including most
standard phones, fax machines, answering machines, modems, and
credit card scanners.
Optional equipment support, including doorphones, loudspeaker paging
systems, music on hold*, call reporting (often referred to as Station

extra alerts.

System Components

Modular hardware design makes the system easy to install and expand. Figure
1-1 shows an example of system components.
Control Unit
The control unit is the heart of the system; it includes a backplane and a cover,
and it houses the system modules. All system modules slide into the
backplane, which channels power to the system. The cover slides onto the front
of the backplane after all the system modules have been installed.
WARNING:
There are no customer-serviceable components inside the system
modules or backplane. There are hazardous voltages within that can
cause severe or fatal personal injury. DO NOT OPEN THE MODULES.
