Installing Startalk Flash 2

[shaneric]

I am a newbie installing a Norstar 616 (dr5 with ds) and the Startalk Flash system. I have the 616 system running fine and it is now time to install the Voicemail system.

The instructions I have seen said it takes 1 station port, but the Flash 2 system has 2 rj11 jacks? I am confused where to attach the 2 jacks. Do I use 1 station port and connect both cables to the same port, or does it use 2 station ports?

I am sorry if the verbage is confusing. I have only learned how to install this system by reading and am not an expert.

thanx

2 jacks are for 4 channels (2 per jack/pair).
The flash has a model that snaps into the bottom and has a black #4 on it.
If yours does not have the 4 but rather a dummy plate then your 2 channel (1 jack/pair).

I forgot to mention the module is called a 4 channel upgrade.
If you pop the module in then hook up the 2nd jack and you will have 4 users into vmail at same time and bumps 24 mailboxes to 48. etc.

To elaborate, the norstars use a b1 and a b2 channel on each pair. They mux.

You probably won't have to concern yourself with the functionality, except as curly is indicating- with vm (and a few other applications, not widely used).

Thanks for the response at the speed of Light!!

I see. Mine is just a "cover" over the bottom instead of having a 4 printed on it. So I will just use the first jack. And if I ever need to upgrade I will add the upgrade and wire the 2nd jack to another station port?

Thanks for all the help

Yes but power down, install and wire up then power up.

Sounds good.

Thanks again for all your help.
