How do you tie another bay to the first bay or should i say how do you expand the partner from the 1st carrier tieing in a 2 slot carrier?

Thanks

slim,
If your asking if you can tie to ACS partners together that's a no-can-do.
The Partner II you can expand to a second cabinet but you need a Expansion Processor Module and cable for the second 5 slot cabinet.

I don't quite understand what your asking.

I have a customer I picked up he has a partner system with a 5 slot carrier which is full, he buys his own parts and emailed me say he is going to buy a 2 slot expansion carrier but didnt know how to tie it in.

I see, tell him not to buy it, He needs to have a Partner II which can grow to 16x48, The ACS can't expand, but grows to 15x40 when you use all 308 modules

Do you know what he has now?

dtmf he has: processor is an R3.0 and currently have two 308EC R3.0 modules, one 206E R4.1 module and a new Partner Messaging R6.0 module.

About all they can do is replace the 206 with a 308 but that will only give them 1 mor line and 2 more stations, not really worth it. It may be time to put him in a Legend.

I dont know too much about the avayas so dont shoot im a pana man but would he be able to keep the phones he has now if he went to a legand?

Thanks

Donnie

He could but would have to purchase sepcial modules to make them work and I believe they are strickly station modules. I would go with the legend phones and use the 4x8 modules. He can sell his partner system as a complete phone system.
