Board Renumbering with the
016 MLX Module

CAUTION:
For installed MERLIN MAGIX systems:
Replacing one module (such as the 008 MLX module) with the 016 MLX 
module may result in the shifting of logical IDs and require numerous 
extension programming changes.
This document includes the supported configurations where you can use 
the Board Renumber procedure instead of reprogramming the system 
and includes detailed procedures that you must follow for each 
configuration.
For instructions on how to remove or install modules in a carrier, please 
see “Replacing a Module” in the Installation Guide (document number 
555-661-140) for details. If you do not have the Installation Guide, you can 
order one by calling the BCS Publications Center at 1 800 457-1235.
Your service call may involve installing a 016 MLX module to replace other 
telephone modules in the MERLIN MAGIX Integrated System. Replacing 
another module with a 016 MLX module may cause the logical IDs to shift. In 
some cases, you can use the Board Renumber procedure to reassign the 
logical ID numbers to the extension and line ports. In other cases, you must 
completely reprogram the entire system to restore the customer’s configuration.
The following are SUPPORTED configurations where you can use Board 
Renumber procedure to reassign the logical ID numbers:
■ Adding a 016 MLX module at the end of an existing system.
■ Replacing two 008 MLX modules that are the last two modules in the 
system with one 016 MLX module. 
■ Replacing a 008 MLX module with a 016 MLX module.
■ Replacing a 008 OPT module with a 016 MLX module.
■ Replacing a 016 T/R module with a 016 MLX module.
