Replacing Two 008 MLX Modules 
with One 016 MLX Module When the 
008 MLX Modules are the Last Two 
Modules in the System 8
Follow these steps when you are replacing two 008 MLX modules at the end of 
the system with one 016 MLX module:
1. Back up the system programming to the customer backup card. Use a 
filename that describes the pre-016 MLX configuration-for example, “pre-
016 MLX.” 
2. Print a System Setup report. Determine whether the last slot/slots are 
programmed with phantom modules. If there are phantom modules, the 
programming for these modules will be removed when the new 016 MLX 
module is implemented.
3. If no phantom modules are programmed, go to Step 4. If there are phantom 
modules, print all Extension Information reports for the extensions and 
MFMs connected to the phantom modules. The extensions must be re-
programmed after the new 016 MLX module is implemented.
4. Print an Extension Directory report. (This report also includes phantom 
extension numbers.)
5. Print a Group Calling Information report.
6. Print a Group Coverage Information report.
7. Print Extension Information reports for all ports (including MFMs) on the 
two 008 MLX modules that are being replaced.
8. Identify all Inside Auto Dial, Manual Signal, or Extension Pickup buttons 
programmed on other telephones that point to the extensions on the 008 
MLX module to be replaced. The programming for these buttons will be 
removed after the Board Renumber procedure. These buttons are not 
shown on the Extension Information report, so you must identify these 
buttons with the customer.
9. Power down the system, and replace the two 008 MLX modules with the 
016 MLX module.
