Installing the VCN
Access Point
Punch-down Block
with a Patch Panel
To install the VCN AP punch-down block when there is a patch panel,
perform the following steps:
1Select the wire pairs according to their position in the RJ-11 telephone
connector in the rear of the VCN AP. The two outside wires comprise the
outer wire pair and the two inside wires comprise the inner wire pair, as
shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8.
Where there is only one telephone line in a room, the two wires are
connected to the inner wire pair of the phone connector shown in
Figure 7 and Figure8. The outer wire pair of the phone connector is not
used.
■The inner wire pair carries both voice and digital date.
■The outer wire pair carries only voice.
