The system software recognizes the OPT module as a 012 module. Even though the OPT module has
only 8 jacks, it uses 12 ports of capacity, thereby decreasing overall extension capacity by 4
extensions for every OPT module.

II modules are supported, the following are recommended for the system:
400 GS/LS, 408 GS/LS, 408 GS/LS-MLX, 800 GS/LS, and 800 GS/LS-ID.

The system software recognizes the MERLIN LEGEND Mail VMS module as a 012 module. Even
though the module has a maximum of 7 T/R jacks, including the modem jack, it uses 12 ports of
capacity in any of its three configurations.
Te l ep h o ne s 3
You can use MLX (digital) telephones as well as several different analog and
single-line telephones with the system. This section describes these telephones.
NOTE:
Telephones that are located far from the control unit or that have other
equipment (
adjuncts
) attached (for example, an answering machine or a
fax machine) may need additional power. A special power unit, described
in “Power-Related Hardware” on page 3–46
, supplies this need.
