Connecting the MGC+50 to the PSTN Network
To connect the MGC+50 to the ISDN network and T1-CAS network:
•Connect the 8-pin RJ-45 connector of the network cable to the NET
RJ-45 jack on the rear panel of the MGC+. Repeat this step for each of
the ISDN network lines to be connected to the Network Interface card
installed in the MCU.

•Leased lines should be connected using an adapter with a screw
connector for solid conductor wires with a diameter in the range 0.4 to
0.6 mm. Use Polycom P/N CBL0602A or similar adapter.
Connect one side of the adapter to the NET RJ-45 jack on the rear panel
of the MGC+. Then connect the leased line wires to the other side of the
adapter.
This is an optional Network Interface Card. If the MGC+50 has to be connected
to the public ISDN network then an external CSU or where required, similar
equipment is needed.
T1-CAS network is optional. It allows you to connect Audio Only participants to
conferences via T1-CAS lines. It uses the same network connections as ISDN
and the procedure described below is applicable to both ISDN and T1-CAS
lines.

The ISDN and T1-CAS network properties must be defined in the Network
Services. For details, see the MGC+ Administrator’s Guide, Chapter 3.
