Max Analog Port size for use with only single line sets?

[djtt]

What configuration could I use for the largest number of ports to use only SLS. I know the older Partners allowed more than one cabinet to be linked together to add additional ports.

This system would have only 8 POTS lines.

I believe one configuration would be an R7 or R8 version using a 5 slot cabinet equipped with an ACS509, (1) EC308, and (1) 012E will give you a "usable" maximum of 48 stations and 8 CO lines. Because of the Partner architecture any stations above the 48 will be UN-usable, whether they are system phones or SLS.

Hope that helps!

48 total stations (keysets or analog mix) is maximum - even though you can physically configure for more. Obviously, if you're close, you need a different product...

you can also put several SL sets on a port if need be

the 'ole party line only one can be in use at a time but it does work in some applications

What would be the next step up for this set up. I am looking for an easy to set up maybe with AA and VM something on the secondary market.

BTW I installed a Remote PC Access card into slot 2 and programmed a PW but when I call thru the AA and dial 76 I get routed to the recept. I tried to locate docs in my manual but there is nothing but how to change the Admin PW.

Merlin Legend or Magix can have up to 200 stations.

Which auto attendant are you using?

You may have to put Ext. 76 into Hunt Group 6 and dial 776 instead.

I found it. The problem was the Group. It had been so long since I needed remote access that I forgot about the group.

I have worked on the small Merlins before. They always needed an 8 Con. connection for the BIS sets. Will it handle regular analog SLS and it is easyt o set up. I understand that Merlin parts are very inexpensive and built like tanks. The product has been around for ages.
What version of Merlin would suggest and model number that includes AA and VM?

Thanks!

 

[djtt]

A follow up. For example if you were building a 200 analog station Legend or Magix what configuration of parts would you suggest?

 

[djtt]

I also placed this in the Merlin group.

IMO - there is no point using anything but the Magix R4. They are sooo inexpensive and the last release issued, so it doesn't make sense to do anything else. Load it up with analog ports and watch it run....
