Connecting cables

This section describes installing the interface, power, and ground cables in the following order:

The Interconnecting cables must be acceptable for external use

and must be rated for the proper application with respect to volt- age, current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and

CAUTION mechanical serviceability.

1.Installing the RJ-11 voice port (FXS) cable or cables (see section “Connecting the FXS ports” on page 28)

2.Installing the 10/100 Ethernet port cable (see section “Connecting the Ethernet ports” on page 28)

3.Installing the RS-232 console cable (see section “Connecting the EIA-561RS-232 configuration port (DCE configured)” on page 30)

4.Installing the power input (see section “Connecting power” on page 30)

Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.

WARNING

Connecting the FXS ports

The remote FXO devices are connected to the IpChannel Bank via the RJ-21X cable. Consult Appendix C on page 55 in order to connect the FXO devices to the selected FXS port on the IpChannel Bank.

1.Connect the RJ-21X connector of the cable into the 64-pin or 50-pin RJ-21X receptacle on the IpChannel Bank. The pin count will depend on the IpChannel Bank that you ordered.

2.The other end of the cable has 25 non-terminated twisted-pairs for connection to punch-down blocks. Select the twisted-pairs which will be used for

3.Select and attach the appropriate twisted-pair from each FXO device on punch-down blocks for connec- tion to the chosen port on the IpChannel Bank.

Connecting the Ethernet ports

The IpChannel Bank has dual 10/100 Ethernet interfaces. One is for the WAN connection. The other is for connecting to your Ethernet LAN. The Ethernet ports will auto-sense the correct speed of the local LAN and automatically negotiate to half- or full-duplex operation. This section describes connecting the IpChannel Bank to the Ethernet LAN via an Ethernet hub or switch.
