PBX hardware compatibility
The following sections list the RLC’s PBX requirements.
Meridian 1 PBX
The RLC is compatible with the following Meridian 1 PBX systems:
„
Meridian 1 PBX 11, 11C – Cabinet, 11C – Chassis, 11E, 51C, 61C, 71C,
and 81C
The RLC is compatible with the Meridian 1 PBX 11C – Chassis with the
following limitations:
— The 16-port RLC is supported in slots 1—3 in the main chassis.
— The 16-port RLC is supported in slots 7—10 in the expander chassis.
— The 32-port RLC is supported in slots 1 or 2 in the main chassis, with a
maximum of one RLC.
— The 32-port RLC is supported in slots 7, 8, or 9 in the expander chassis,
with a maximum of two RLCs.
Note: Since the 32-port RLC requires two backplane connections, it cannot
be assigned to slot 10, because this slot provides only one backplane
connection.
„
Older Meridian 1 PBX systems that are upgraded with IPE modules
Note: NT8D37AA IPE cabinets utilize split-slot wiring. If you have one of these
cabinets, your RLC can only reside in slots 0, 4, 8, and 12 without rewiring the
cabinet. To use any other slot, you need to rewire part of the IPE backplane
using cable NT8D81AA (A0359946). Refer to the
Meridian 1 PBX System
Installation and Maintenance Manual (NTP 553-3001-210) for details.
