Cabling Procedure

1.Using the supplied cable, connect the power supply to a live AC outlet, then plug the power supply into the MVP120 as shown above.

2.Connect the MVP120 to a PC using the RJ-45 to DB9 (female) cable provided with your unit. Plug the RJ-45 end of the cable into the Command port of the MVP120 and connect the other end to the PC’s serial port.

3.Connect a network cable to the Ethernet 10Base-Tconnector on the back of the MVP120. Connect the other end of the cable to your network.

4.If you are connecting a PSTN or FXO/PBX port to your MVP120, connect one end of an RJ-11 cable to the Phone connector on the back of the MVP120 and the other end to the PSTN or FXO port on the PBX.

5.Turn on power to the MVP120 by setting the power switch on the right-side panel to the On position. Wait for the Boot LED on the MVP120 to go off before proceeding. This may take a couple of minutes.

Note: Since the MVP120 doesn’t have a power LED, no LEDs will be on after booting unless the Ethernet link is active.
