ZEPHYR XPORT USER’S GUIDE

(What to do if…), or consult your Zephyr Xstream User's Manual for extensive tips for troubleshooting the problem.

If you are not using the 2- wire "U" interface, you can disregard this LED.

S INTERFACE (only active if option 1701-00135 or option 1701-00056 is present)

This interface will only be active if you have one of the optional ISDN interfaces installed in your Xport. It is the usual interface for most parts of the world. It can also be used in the USA and Canada if an external NT1 is provided, or to allow two Xports to share the same ISDN circuit, see Section 3.6 (Connecting two Xports…).

This jack allows interfacing to the 4- wire "S" Interface provided by external Network Channel Termination Equipment (NCTE, NT1, NTBA). This is an 8- position/8- pin miniature modular jack (RJ- 45 style) and uses pins 3- 6 to connect to the 4- wire ISDN S circuit.

A twisted pair cable with 8- postion/8- pin miniature modular plugs should be used. This cable should comply with either the TIA/EIA- 568- A T568A or TIA/EIA- 568- A T568B standards for pinning.
