cables to Meridian Mail as outlined in the following steps:
a. Connect the first network loop cable to J4 of the first module.
b. Connect the second network loop cable to J5 of the first
module.
c. If the system has more than 48 channels, you need a third
network loop cable and a second utility card. Connect the
third loop to J4 of the module that contains the second utility
card.
d. If the system has more than 72 channels, you need a fourth
network loop cable. Connect this loop to J5 of the module
that contains the second utility card.
