Caution:

If outdoor cabling is involved, consider to install a special lightning arrester at the input end of the interface cable for better lightning protection.

Before you connect a port, read its label carefully; a wrong connection can cause damages to the interface card and even the device.

Step 1: Insert one end of the T1VI cable into the DB-15 port on the Router 1-Port T1 Voice FIC.

Step 2: Connect the other end of the cable to another device directly or after extending the cable as shown in the following figure:
