008 OPT Module. The system recognizes this module as an 012 module.
Therefore, even though the OPT module has only 8 physical jacks, it uses
12 ports of capacity. An extension number is assigned to each of the 8
physical jacks.
This section contains instructions for calculating the systems extension capacity
according to the number of certain module types.
Planning Form Instructions
1. In the table under the Extension Capacity section of Form 1, fill in the
number of each type of extension module on the appropriate line of the
Number of Modules column.
2. Add the column and record the result at the bottom of the column (System
Totals line).
3. For each module, multiply the value in the Number of Modules column by
the value in the Physical Jacks per Module column and record the results
on the appropriate line in the Physical Jacks by Module Type column.
4. Add the column and record the results at the bottom of the column (System
Totals).
5. To determine the number of extensions assigned for each module type,
multiply the value in the Physical Jacks by Module Type column by the
value in the Extensions Assigned column and write the results in the
appropriate row in the Total Extensions Assigned column.
NOTE: NOTE: NOTE:
Since the system assigns an additional four extensions to each 008 OPT
module, you must first calculate the Extensions Assigned by multiplying the
number of 008 OPT modules (noted in the Number of Modules column) by
4 and then add this subtotal to the number noted in the Physical Jacks by
Module Type column.
6. Add the column and record the result at the bottom of the column (System
Totals).
Control Unit Diagram—Module Placement
This section describes how to use the Control Unit Diagram on Form 1 (page 2) to
map placement of the modules according to certain guidelines.
provides an example of a Control Unit Diagram for a system with 32 lines/trunks
and 52 extensions. In addition, this section describes how to identify each jack on
NOTE:
When using the 008 MLX or 408 GS/LS-MLX module for data or
video, you must use Version 28 of the module.
