Can anyone confirm whether a two port expansion card and station mod is needed on a MICS/XC to attach more than two base stations. Can't see it in the documentation but other sources indicate the requirement. ??

THe Basestations hook up on any unused station port. I usually put them on the last ports available, but they can go anywhere. Are you using remote power suppliy or power at each base station? If you use power at each base station, after a power lose you wil have to run reavaluation. I use the remote powersupplies with a UPS to eliminate having to run reavaluation all the time.

Good Luck!!
 
exec,
Thanks for confirming the hookup. It is how I thought. I've seen and worked on non expanded systems but they were adjuncts and not xc KSUs. RPIs are nice to work with but for ecconomy I often go with a power supply betwwen two stations fed centrally. Don't usually have any trouble with the power here.
