Modular hardware design makes the system easy to install and expand. The most basic system
consists of a PARTNER ACS processor module, which supports three lines and eight extensions.
Using these lines and extensions, you can add optional devices and telephones to configure your
system to meet your needs.
To expand the system to include more lines and extensions, simply attach additional modules and
a carrier to contain them. The term “control unit” refers to the PARTNER ACS processor module
and any other modules in the system.
WARNING:
There are no customer-serviceable components inside the system modules or carrier. There
are hazardous voltages within that can cause severe or fatal personal injury. DO NOT OPEN
THE MODULES.
Configurations
1
You can install the PARTNER ACS system in one of three basic configurations, all of which must
be wall-mounted:
■
Stand-alone PARTNER ACS processor module. This configuration does not use a carrier.
■
2-slot carrier, which can hold the PARTNER ACS processor module and one other module.
■
5-slot carrier, which can hold up to five modules, including the PARTNER ACS processor
module. The processor module resides in the center slot.
In either carrier, only one of the modules can be a PARTNER ACS processor module. The
modules slide into the carrier, which channels power to the system.
