Hi, is there any difference in using the analog station ports provided on an SLM-4 card vs using the integrated SL 1-2, SL3-4 ports?
I need to configure 4 analog stations (fax machines) on my 5000 and we have an SLM-4 card and the integrated. I was wondering if there are any advantages / disadvantages to using one over the other.
Thank you!

No difference. Wiring is same. Programming same except when initially configuring extensions on-board ports are in SYSTEM/CONTROLLER/SINGLE LINE PORTS, those on the module are in SYSTEM/CONTROLLER/BAY X/SINGLE LINE MODULE-4

Thank you!

If the built in port fails, you have to replace then entire motherboard, which can be a pain.
Using an SLM-4, if it fails, very easy to replace card without shutting down system.
Just sayin...

dhumes0524,
The only difference between the built-in Single Line ports and the Single Line Module is that the first 2 built-in Single Line ports are set to connect to the first 2 built-in Loop Start ports on a power-fail of the system.
Typically you would try to make sure you use POTS lines that would need to be accessible after a power fail if the customer is using POTS lines as their main incoming lines. This way on a power fail they could just plug in analog phones at designated ports and continue to accept calls.
Thanks,
