AT&T MLS-6TM Benutzerhandbuch

The PARTNER Plus system’s modular hardware design makes it easy to install
and expand.  The main system component is the control unit, to which you
connect telephones and other equipment.

Control Unit

The control unit includes:

■   

Processor Module.  The processor module contains the software that

controls the system’s features.  It also has two jacks for connecting a
loudspeaker  paging  system and an audio source for music on hold.

■   

206 Modules.  Phone lines, phones, and other equipment connect to the

modular jacks on 206 modules.  Each module has jacks for 2 lines and 6
extensions.  A system can have up to four 206 modules for a maximum of 8

lines and 24 extensions.  The system requires at least one 206 module
(purchased separately).

■   

Backplane.   All the modules slide easily into the backplane, which channels

power to the system.

■   

Cover.  The cover slides onto the front of the backplane.

system also works with industry-standard  telecommunica-

tions equipment.  You can connect equipment such as standard, single-line
touch-tone or rotary phones, fax and answering machines, modems, and door-

phones to the system—without expensive adapters or additional phone lines.

You can connect a standard device to an extension jack by itself or combined
with another device.  For example, you can connect a phone and an answering

machine to one extension by using an AT&T 267F2 bridging adapter (two
included with each 206 module).
