13.5 Allworx Port Expanders
The Allworx PX 6/2 Expander provides expansion of the system’s analog capability by
adding six (6) FXO and two (2) FXS ports to any Allworx server. The PX 6/2 Expander
features plug-and-play installation for locally connected units. Remote installation is
possible using an approach similar to installing remote Allworx phones. For detailed
installation instructions, see the Allworx PX 6/2 Expander Installation Guide.
