We have a 4-line/12-extension PARTNER system composed of R3.1 and R4.0 Modules in a 5-slot Carrier + 8 MLS-12D phones. We want to upgrade to PARTNER ACS to add lines/extensions and to overcome the 4-line limitation on the telephones. I would like to know...

1. Can we use our existing 5-slot carrier with PARTNER ACS modules?

2. Can we use our MLS-12D telephones with PARTNER ACS modules?

3. Can we use any of our existing modules with PARTNER ACS modules?

Thanks in advance!

yes, yes, yes

I second that: tres si!

You will have to break the tabs off to put the ACS moduals in. And also the older moduals may or may-not support Caller ID depending on what they are. But all will work.

Thanks for the helpful responses!

I went ahead and ordered an ACS Control Module, a 308 card and 4 PARTNER 18D phones to start the initial expansion. I have another question but I'll start a new topic for that. Look for "Automatic Ringdown on PARTNER ACS"
