CAP notes:
• If CAPs are not designated as eCAPs, the system can support as many CAPs as the system
resources can support. The modules on these caps are referred to as ordinary KIMs (OKIMs),
and the buttons on the module only support memory button programming.
• A Station Auxiliary Power Supply (SAPS) is not required for 7316E digital phones attached to
four or fewer KIMs. If the KIMs are designated as eKIMs, you can only attach a maximum of
four modules to a 7316E. If the KIMs are designated as OKIMs, you can attach up to nine
modules to the 7316E. You must add a SAPS if more than four KIMs are added to the 7316E.
Note also that the line loop to the CAP cannot be greater than 304.8 m (1000 feet).
• If a KIM module is relocated with the telephone, the settings are retained on the module.
• Replacing CAPs: If you replace a legacy eCAP (7324+CAP) with a 7316E+eKIM, the line
assignments will be copied to the new telephone, but not to the eKIM. The telephone
programming will revert to the default settings for other buttons. Also, if you move an eKIM
from one 7316E to another, programming will not follow.
If you move an OKIM from one 7316E to another, the KIM will retain memory button
programming.
