In order to keep the default port and extension numbering, connect Trunk Modules to the Expansion Cartridge beginning at the top and working down; connect Station modules to the Expansion Cartridge beginning at the bottom and working up.

Trunk modules cannot be connected to the Expansion Cartridge in slot 1 (leftmost).

Curt2k:

If you have a 2-digit DN, you will now go to a 3 digit DN by default when you install a 6-port card. That's what happend to me when I installed my 6-port and reset my system. I don't know if you can 'prepare' your existing system by changing the DN before you install the 6-port card so you won't lose your custom programming.
