Adding a card
The M6501L/R IP PBX can be fitted with one or more expansion cards to extend the system
capacity.
All types of card (called optional cards) can be installed in the ICS, depending on the existing
configuration:
• analogue network cards
• digital network cards
• ISDN T2 (PRI) and/or T0 (BRI) network cards
• application cards
• equipment cards
Note: Part 1 of this manual contains full card installation and cabling details.
Installing and putting a card into service
Considerations
• Check that the card(s) to be inserted is/are compatible with the slot, whether in the main
cabinet (shelves 0 and 1) or in the expansion cabinet (shelves 2 and 3). To do this, refer to the
four optional card location tables in Appendix A "Card locations".
• ISDN/T2 (PRI) cards can only occupy slots 4 and 5 in shelf 0. You may need to change the
position of other cards in order to install an ISDN/T2 (PRI) card in an existing system.
• If you fit an LT2 or a 32IT CC1 (written CCI-32 in the table) in slot 0 in shelf 0, you cannot
install in this shelf an LA8, LM8, LN8, LD4 and LD4N (written LD4-4 in the table) double-
density card as the 4-channel base station interface (with 1 or 2 ADPCM4V cards fitted).
• LD4/LD4N cards (written LD4-4 in the table) used as 4-channel DECT base station interfaces
use the time slots of the adjacent card, thereby preventing cards from being fitted in the next
odd-numbered slot, with the exception of CA1, CS1, and BTX cards.
• If you fit an LD4/LD4N in slot 4, you can install a card requiring a 2Mb/s PCM junction (for
example LT2) in slot 5.
•In Appendix A of this manual, consult the configuration option details before installing the
card in the ICS.
To add a card:
1 Power off the M6501L/R IP PBX. For a twin cabinet system, first power off the main cabinet,
then the expansion cabinet.
2 Remove the front cover of the cabinet in which the card is to be installed.
3 Insert the new card in the bay. Slide the card along the card guides until it clicks into place.
Note: Configure the card before installing it. Refer to the description of the card in Appendix A.
4 Connect the card to the distribution frame.
5 Close the front cover of the cabinet.
