V6100 and V7122 User Guide 65Cabling the V6100CAUTION: Protective EarthingThe equipment is classified as Class I EN60950 and UL60950 and must beearthed at all times.To protect against electrical shock and fire, use a 26 AWG min wire to connect T1or E1 ports to the PSTN.To cable the V6100:1 The V6100 must be permanently earthed using an equipment-earthing conductor.Connect an electrically earthed strap of 16 AWG wire (minimum) to the chassis earthingscrew, using the supplied washer. The connection to the protective earthing should be inaccordance with the regulations enforced in the country of installation.2 Connect the E1/T1 trunk cables to the ports on the I/O module/s. Connect the other endsof the trunk cables to your PBX/PSTN switch.For a 1+1 or 2+2 fallback option, connect trunks 1 and 3 to your PBX and trunks 2 and 4to the PSTN. If the power fails, a relay connects trunks 1 to 2 and 3 to 4 (in the samemodule) acting as a fallback for PSTN trunks.RJ-48c trunk connectors are wired according to Figure 26.3 Connect the first Ethernet connection (labeled I), located on the CPU module of theV6100 front panel, directly to the network using a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable (andthe second connection as optional redundancy / backup). Note that for redundantoperation it is recommended to connect each of the Ethernet connectors to a differentswitch. For the connector’s pinout, see Figure 27.When assigning an IP address to the V6100 using HTTP (under Step 1 in Assigning anIP Address Using HTTP), you may be required to disconnect this cable and re-cable itdifferently.4 Optionally, connect the V6100 RS-232 port to your PC (see Connecting the V6100 RS-232 Port to Your PC). The RS-232 port is used to change the networking parameters(See Assigning an IP Address Using the CLI) and to receive error / notificationmessages.5 If you want to set up a dry contact system (future support), see Setting up a Dry ContactSystem.6 If you want to set up an audio system (future support), see Connecting the Audio IN/OUTCable.7 Connect the left (active) 100-240V~50-60 Hz power socket to the mains using thesupplied cord.
