System Expansion 2

[jml2665]

I have limited expierience with Partner Systems, and I got an order to expand one, adding two 400 modules. the current system is R7 with a 509 processor, 308 and 2port messaging module configured like this,
308,MsgModule,509,empty,empty

As I understand this, I have to move the messageing module to the far right and put the two new 400 modules right of the 308 and left of the messaging. So basically I will end up like this,
308,400,509,400,MsgModule

Am I correct?

also this makes the 2 ports on the messaging module change from extension 27/28 to extension 39/40 cause the 400's count extensions like they are really a 406 correct??

thanks all

Since these are 400 modules, with NO stations involved, just put them in the two empty slots. The lines will still be 9-16.

Thanks TTTommy, I jave never seen it documented, but I always heard you had to keep the voicemail to the right of all the other cards, your suggestion seems too easy but with me not having any real expierience I am glad this board is out there and now I don't have to reconfigure that whole dang thing

Actually what you heard is correct about 99.9% of the time.

You do want to keep the voicemail to the right of all the boards in the carrier except when "400" modules are being used.

I believe that putting the voicemail module to the right of 400E or 400EC cards causes a problem, and the fix is to put the "400" modules to the right of the voicemail module.

In other circumstances, the voicemail modules do go on the right.
