Step 2: Connect the cable.

1To connect the module to an ISDN network, identify the type of the ISDN line provided by your telecommunications service provider.

If it is an ISDN U interface line, use an NT1 for conversion. Insert one end of the S/T interface cable into the S/T interface on the NT1 and the other end to a BSV interface on the FIC-2BSV/FIC-4BSV.

If it is an ISDN S/T interface line, directly connect the cable to a BSV interface on the FIC-2BSV/FIC-4BSV.

2To connect the module to a TE device, use a crossover S/T interface cable. Connect the RJ-45 plug at one end of the cable to the FIC-2BSV/FIC-4BSV interface, the RJ-45 receptacle to a straight-through S/T interface cable, and then the straight-through cable to the TE device.

FIC-24FXS

Introduction The 24-port voice subscriber circuit interface card (FIC-24FXS) processes and transmits voice signals over data communications networks for 24 regular analog phones, faxes, or AT0 loop trunks of telephone exchanges. It occupies two FIC slots.
