After you have verified that both the message server and the PBX are configured correctly, you must
connect the Octel 200/300 to the PBX.

Connection Overview

The Octel 200/300 installation involves connecting 25-pair cables from the rear of the Octel 200/300 to a
66M4-4W connector block, which is mounted on a backboard. Each 25-pair cable supports one slot on
the Octel 200/300. The Octel 200/300 is then connected with jumper wire to the PBX.
.Please refer to the Pin Assignment for Message Server Cards and Ports section in this chapter for
specific message server and port pin assignments.
It is recommended that the PBX extensions to be associated with the Octel 200/300 be terminated on a
66M connector block, or equivalent, for ease of installation and fault isolation, as shown in Figure 4-8.
