2.4.8Connecting Cables to the ports

Connect system ports to the external equipment, using the proper cables. The ports have various types of connectors for those connections.

Voice ports have a 50-pin Amphenol-type jack. To connect a cable to this type of jack, first plug the male connector of the cable into the jack and push it in all the way. Then, tighten the mounting screws on either end of the cable connector shroud to the IMACS-200 connector.

For modular (RJ-45) jacks, push the cable’s mating plug into the jack until it snaps into place. However, do not try to force the plug into the jack.

For DB-25 jacks, first plug the cable’s mating connector firmly into the jack. Then, thread the screws on either side of the cable connector shroud into the standoffs on either side of the port jacks, and hand-tighten them.

For a list of available cables for the IMACS-200, refer to Table 2 in the Product Description section in the front of this user guide.
