The ports and cables of the OfficeConnect Gateway products are
color-coded to help you connect the cables properly.
The following illustration shows the connector cabling for an
OfficeConnect Gateway Voice Expansion Unit with an
OfficeConnect Gateway Data and Voice base unit.
Perform the following steps:
1. Connect the Expansion
Cable.
Connect one end of the RJ-
45 Expansion cable (green)
to the Expansion Port
(green) on the rear panel of
the OfficeConnect Gateway
Voice Expansion Unit and
the other end to the
Expansion Port (green) on
the base unit of the
OfficeConnect Gateway
(Data or Data and Voice).
2. Connect the Telephone Cable(s).
You can connect up to eight POTS-based devices (telephones, fax
machines, or modems) to the Phone ports of the OfficeConnect
Gateway Voice Expansion Unit, using telephone cables (silver) such
as the one provided. Your Service Provider assigns phone numbers
to each port, and can tell you which phone ports on your unit cor-
respond to the phone numbers. You can use the table on the left to
record the unique phone number for each phone port.
3. Connect the power adapter and power cable.
Connect the cable from the power adapter to the Power inlet on
the rear panel of the unit. Connect the power cord to the power
adapter. Connect the other end of the power cord into a surge-
protected electrical outlet.
