 IntroductionSX-200 ML (RM) System
The SX-200 ML (RM) system contains one control cabinet with the 
following components:

A Main Control Card IIIML (MCC IIIML) in slot 12

One Bay Control Card (BCC II or BCC III) in slot 9

One Bay Power Supply

One Control Dual FIM Carrier card, one Control Triple CIM card, or 
one PRI card in slot 10 

Up to two T1 Trunk cards in unused slots 10 or 11 

Up to eight Peripheral Interface Cards in slots 1 to 8.
The SX-200 ML system supports one peripheral bay. The one 
peripheral bay can be a SX-200 peripheral cabinet, SX-200 LIGHT 
peripheral cabinet, SPINE bay, or ISDN bay. The ISDN bay may be an 
ISDN Network Gateway or a PRI card.The PRI card fits into a main 
control cabinet. 
SX-200 ML (FD) PBX
The SX-200 ML (FD) PBX cabinet resembles the SX-200 LIGHT 
cabinet. The SX-200 ML (FD) cabinet supports only one peripheral bay, 
SPINE Bay, or ISDN Network Gateway. 
The SX-200 ML (FD) PBX contains one control cabinet with the 
following components:

a Main Control Card II (MCC II)

one Bay Control Card and one Bay Power Supply

one Control FIM Carrier in slot 4 connecting to Bay 2

up to eight Peripheral Interface Cards in slots 1 to 8.If the cabinet has a BCC II, do not install more than seven 
DNICs per bay in high traffic applications. If you have more 
than seven DNICs per bay keep the device count to 84 or 
less. With two T1 cards in a bay, do not add more than five 
DNICs or 60 devices. With one T1 card in a bay, do not add 
more than six DNICs or 72 devices.
With a BCC III, you can install eight DNICs per bay.

When a SX-200 ML (FD) PBX has a second bay, the Control 
FIM Carrier is installed in slot 4 of the control cabinet and 
therefore reduces the number of ports to 84 in the control 
cabinet.

 IntroductionSX-200 LIGHT PBX
The SX-200 LIGHT PBX consists of a Control cabinet with an MCC, a 
Control Resource card, two disk drives, and up to seven FIM carriers. 
Each 96-port digital peripheral bay (1 - 7) includes a Bay Control card 
(with attached FIM Carrier and FIM) and is connected to the Control 
cabinet by fiber cable.

SX-200 IP Node
You can connect up to two SX-200 IP Nodes to the SX-200 EL. The 
system requires one Control Triple CIM card (three onboard CIM 
circuits) in the main control cabinet and one Bay Control Card III.
The following connections are required to configure the SX-200 IP 
Node:

Connections between peripheral bays and the main control cabinet 
are made with standard CIM connections.

An Ethernet crossover cable connects the Control Triple CIM Card 
in the main control cabinet to CIM port 4 on the IP Node. All voice 
communications are carried over this connection.

A standard Ethernet cable connects the Bay Control Card III to the 
Local Area Network (LAN). This connection carries the signaling 
information.

Another Ethernet crossover cable connects the IP Node to the 
Ethernet switch on the LAN.

The IP phones are connected to the LAN through the Ethernet 
switch.

The configuration rules that apply to connecting standard peripheral 
bays to the control cabinet through CIMs also apply to connecting IP 
Nodes. For more information about configuration, see the Configuration

SX-200 SPINE Peripheral Bay
The SX-200 SPINE Peripheral Bay can be used with the SX-200 EL, 
SX-200 ML, and SX-200 LIGHT Control cabinets.
