T1 Digital Trunk Requirements by Country

 

 

 

Country

 

Requirements

 

 

 

U.S.

 

Public network to Channel Service Unit (CSU) connection—recEive and transMit

Canada

 

(E&M) wink start (line side and trunk side). Ground start or loop start (line side

 

only).

Hong Kong

 

 

U.S. only—FCC and CSA-listed CSU required.

 

 

 

 

Customer-supplied connectors—USOC (male) RJ-48 jacks. See the “Wiring

 

 

Requirements for Customer-SuppliedConnectors—U.S., Canada, and

 

 

Hong Kong” section on page 1-9.

 

 

Cable provided by Cisco Systems—25-foot shielded twisted-pair cable with

 

 

ferrite.

 

 

PBX to CSU connection—FCC and CSA-listed CSU required for connections over

 

 

600 feet. The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system ships with a 25-foot shielded

 

 

cable with ferrite beads for each T1 span. The cable terminates in an RJ-48

 

 

connector. Listed CSU is provided for overvoltage protection for the T1 Smart

 

 

Blades.

 

 

 

Japan

 

T1 connection into PBX with INS1500-to-T1 converter.

 

 

Customer-supplied connectors—RJ-45 connector.

 

 

Cable provided by Cisco Systems—50-foot shielded cable (male-male). One per

 

 

T1 span.

 

 

 

Australia

 

Cisco Systems does not supply any T1 cables with Cisco Unified MeetingPlace

 

 

Audio Server systems that are shipped to Australia.

 

 

 

In some cases, the cables that Cisco Systems provides may not be appropriate for your Private Branch eXchange (PBX) or Network Interface Unit (NIU) side connections. If this is the case, create your own custom cables.

Custom T1 CAS (channel-associated signaling) and IP cables require the following:

Cat5e STP UTP cable with shielded RJ-45 connectors terminated to the cable shield at both ends.

Add the ferrite that is on the cable supplied by Cisco Systems.

Caution (U.S. only) The FCC Part 68 registration number is EMC USA-34550-XD-T. Be sure to use only FCC and CSA or UL-listed CSUs.

T1-Supported Protocols for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Systems

The following protocols are supported for T1 digital trunks:

T1 CAS Cisco Unified MeetingPlace systems—E&M wink start, ground start, and loop start

T1 PRI Cisco Unified MeetingPlace systems—AT&T (TR41459), Telcordia Technologies (NI-2), and Nortel (DMS-100)
