Upgrading the MERLIN LEGEND MAIL System
3-2
Installing a Voice-Port Card
Customers with a two-port or four-port configuration may want to upgrade to a
four-port or six-port configuration to support more subscribers or a greater
volume of calls. The MERLIN LEGEND MAIL system can have a maximum of
six ports. Depending on your system, you can make the following upgrades:
upgrade from a two-port system to a four-port system
upgrade from a two-port system to a six-port system
upgrade from a four-port system to a six-port system
The two-port MERLIN LEGEND MAIL module can be upgraded with a two-port
voice-port card to provide four ports or upgraded with a four-port voice-port card
to provide six ports. The four-port MERLIN LEGEND MAIL module can be
upgraded by replacing the two-port voice card with a four-port voice card to
provide six ports.

voice-port card and replace it with a four-port voice-port card. Proceed

If there are eight LEDs in the voice-port card cover, a four-port voice-
port card is installed already. No further upgrade is possible.
