Circuit pack in the control unit that provides the physical
jacks for connection of telephones and/or outside
lines/trunks to the communications system. In the name of
a module, the first digit indicates the number of line/trunk
jacks it contains; the last digit indicates the number of
extension jacks it contains. If no letters appear after the
number, a line/trunk module provides loop-start lines or an
extension jack module provides analog or tip/ring jacks. For
example, a 408 GS/LS MLX module contains four line/trunk
jacks and eight digital (MLX) extension jacks, and provides
either loop-start (LS) or ground-start (GS) trunks.
Extension for which one or more CTI applications is

appear on the PC screen of another extension that has
been programmed to receive it. See also CTI link and
unmonitored extension.
