I can check at my office and see if we have a manual for that KSU in our
library. I know the Trillium name but the model doesn't sound familiar at
all to me.

Of course you'll want to wire everything in s star configuration, much
like a 10baseT network. Go out to your local Graybar (big telephone and
electrical supply place) and get yourself a punchdown block (and get a
punchdown tool while you're at it). This is what you'll want to connect
all your "homeruns" to, and then cross connect over to your PBX ports.
You'll also want to take your telco lines and punch them down on the
block, and then cross connect to the telco ports on the phone system (this
will allow any phone to grab one of however many lines you have).
E-mail me offline if you need more tips. It's all pretty basic though.
