PBXLink Box Connections

A single PBXLink box is connected to the phone system with one or two digital phone lines and connected to the Cisco Unity server with an RS-232 serial cable. The voice messaging lines from the phone system connect to the analog voice cards in the Cisco Unity server. Figure 1 shows the required connections.

Multiple PBXLink boxes are connected to the Cisco Unity server by using an RS-232 cable to connect the SMDI port from the last PBXLink box to the Management port of the first PBXLink box. Another RS-232 cable is then used to connect the SMDI port of the first PBXLink box to the Cisco Unity server. The voice messaging lines from the phone system connect to the analog voice cards in the Cisco Unity server. Figure 2 shows the required connections.
