Plugging Into the Back Panel | Talkswitch CT.TS005.001101.UK

In cases where a telephone company’s ISDN BRA service is installed using an NTE with two analogue line “ab” ports, the TalkSwitch telephone lines can be connected to the NTE’s ab ports (Please check with your local telephone company).

The use of 4-wire telephone cables to combine L1/L2 or L3/L4 wiring requires a special installation procedure and may not be compatible with some standard telephone sockets. It is not recommended for general use.

If your TalkSwitch was supplied with telephone lightning protectors to comply with local regulatory requirements, they must be installed on each telephone line as detailed in the instructions provided with the lightning protectors.

1.4 PLUGGING INTO THE BACK PANEL

1.4.1 Connecting telephone lines

You can connect the TalkSwitch to the telephone company’s line sockets using the 2-wire telephone cables provided to ports L1-L2 or L1-L4 (subject to model). Take note of which telephone line is connected to each Line port

— this information will be used in the configuration section.

In cases where the telephone company lines are terminated on a Connection Box with IDC or screw terminals, it is recommended that “RJ- 11 Wiring-Tails” are used. These are single or multi-pair cables with 0.5mm solid core wire one end terminated in an RJ-11 connector(s). These RJ-11 wiring tails may be available where you purchased your system or provided by your installer.

Advisory: In order to minimize disruption to your business, you may want to configure TalkSwitch before connecting it to your telephone lines and extension phones.

Warning: The TalkSwitch line ports are sensitive to high-voltage spikes from lightning. If you live in an area where electrical storms occur regularly, we recommend that you protect TalkSwitch by plugging the telephone cords coming from the TalkSwitch line ports to a surge protection device connected to the incoming telephone lines.
