Line cards/ station cards

[egnalc]

I need some help detemining how many co lines my system can presently handle, it is a MICS with a 2 port fiber card for the TM. I have a tota of 3 cards in the system, 2 in the main unit and 1 in the trunk mod. I am assuming that one card is a station card or are the station integrated in the main unit. My customer is telling me that sometold him it is capable of handling 12 lines, to me it looks like it can only handle eight, he has 12 lines from the co and can only access 8

Does anyone have a good source for Nortel equipment on the east coast

Thanks

if you have 2 cards in your main unit with a 2 port expansion card those 2 cards in the core cabient will hold 8 lines

IF you have a trunk module with 1 additional card that card will handle 4 co lines - each card holds 4 lines

so you do have a total of 12 lines

the stations are built into the core cabient you have 32 on the core - if you add any station modules each module has 16 stations.

Hope this helps

Thanks, do those lines on TM 1 have to be punched onto the block that the amphanol plug coming out of TM 1. Does it make a difference where it is punched down

Thanks again

egnalc-
yes Lines 9-12 have to be punched to the amp cable coming from the 12X0 trunk module, and yes it matters where they are punched. Once connected the system will recognize them as lines 049, 050, 051, and 052. See the FAQ of this section under Jerry Reeves "What is the correct cable pinouts for MICS Modules" for a chart.
