Go to section “Connecting cables” on page 29Connecting cablesThis section describes installing the interface, power, and ground cables in the following order:1. Installing the RJ-11 voice port (FXS or FXO) cable or cables (see section “Connecting the FXS ports” onpage 29 or “Connecting the FXO ports” on page 29)2. Installing the 10/100 Ethernet port cable (see section “Connecting the Ethernet ports” on page 30)3. Installing the RS-232 console cable (see section “Connecting the EIA-561 RS-232 configuration port(DCE configured)” on page 31)4. Installing the V.35 or X.21 serial WAN cable (see section “Connecting the serial port” on page 31)5. Installing the power input (see section “Connecting power” on page 32)Connecting the FXS portsThe remote FXO devices are connected to the IpChannel Bank via the RJ-21X cable. Consult Appendix C onpage 61 in order to connect the FXO devices to the selected FXS port on the IpChannel Bank.1. Connect the RJ-21X connector of the cable into the 64-pin or 50-pin RJ-21X receptacle on the IpChannelBank. The pin count will depend on the IpChannel Bank that you ordered.2. The other end of the cable has 25 non-terminated twisted-pairs for connection to punch-down blocks.Select the twisted-pairs which will be used for3. Select and attach the appropriate twisted-pair from each FXO device on punch-down blocks for connec-tion to the chosen port on the IpChannel Bank.Connecting the FXO portsThe remote FXS devices are connected to the IpChannel Bank via the RJ-21X cable.
