Specifications
76 Digital Key Bx, Digital 400 & Digital 1000 Configuration Capabilities
In the DIGITAL KEY BX system, four loop start CO
circuits are provided on the MPD card. The minimum
configuration of 4/16 (four outside lines and 16 stations)
requires only two cards - the MPD and one ELD. In
the DIGITAL 400 system, the minimum configuration
requires an MPD card, an ELD card, and a trunk card
for an 8/16 configuration (eight outside lines and 16
stations). Both systems are expanded by the addition
of modular cabinets, peripheral cards, terminal
equipment, and external options. The table below lists
the peripheral cards and shows the capacity of each
card.
