Increasing the Number of Voice Mail Ports
When shipped, your analog VANGARD Mail has either two or four Voice Mail ports installed. A
digital VANGARD Mail has four ports installed. You can install an additional port card to increase
the number of available ports in your system. If you are installing analog port cards (P/N 17772A or
1774A), see “Installing Analog Port Cards” on page 8. If you are installing digital port cards (P/N
17774ADIG), see “Installing Digital Port Cards” on page 12.
Installing Analog Port Cards
Analog Port cards are available as either 2-port (P/N 17772A) or 4-port (P/N 17774A). Each con-
nector on a port card provides 2 Voice Mail ports. Your VANGARD Mail System supports up to 8
ports. See Figure 2 for a layout of the cabinet.

When you are installing a card in the cabinet to expand your Voice Mail System, you need to keep
in mind the following:
●
A 2-port card in the first position has a single connector, supports ports 1and 2, and skips ports
3 and 4.
●
A 4-port card in the first position has two connectors and supports ports 1 through 4.
●
A 2-port card in the second position has a single connector, supports 5 and 6, and skips ports 7
and 8.
●
A 4-port card in the second position supports ports 5 through 8.
WARNING
Do not turn off the Voice Mail without first shutting it down. If you do not shut down
first, you may corrupt the Voice Mail database when you turn it off.
Use standard static precautions when handling cards. Follow these steps exactly as
stated. Failure to do so may result in damage the motherboard or port card.
