E1 PRI

The E1 PRI is usually connected to a PBX or switch—local exchange (LE). Type and pin outs of these devices vary depending on the manufacturer. In most cases, a straight-through RJ-45 to RJ-45 can be used to connect the PRI with a PBX. A cross-over cable is required to connect to an NT device, as illustrated in figure 13 on page 58.

Hazardous network voltages are present in the PRI cables. If you detach the cable, detach the end away from the SmartNode or interface card first to avoid

possible electric shock. Network hazardous voltages may be present on the WARNING device in the area of the PRI port, regardless of when power is turned OFF.

To prevent damage to the system, make certain you connect the

PRI cable to the PRI port only and not to any other RJ-45 socket.
