Note 1: The Prologix system is software restricted to a total of 1,300 ports. This limits the number of possible soft extensions that can be supported to 1,300. Obviously, this possible limit cannot be reached simultaneously with any physical station or trunks assigned. The physical port limit is 600, which could be 500 stations or 400 trunks, but both capacities cannot be reached together.
Note 2: The Legend system can accommodate 200 MLX Station Ports. Each MLX port can provide a connection for an MFM. If an MFM is NOT installed, it’s Dial Plan number may be used as a "Phantom" port, thus providing 200 additional "software" stations.
