ISDN BRI interface specifications
E1/PRI WAN ports
Table C-18 lists the pins on RJ-48C sockets on the MAX used for E1/PRI WAN interface.
Only pins 1, 2, 4, and 5 are used. The remaining pins are not connected.
Note:
E1/PRI models are also equipped with BNC connectors.
ISDN BRI interface specifications
The MAX unit’s ISDN BRI interface has specifications for the Net/BRI module and the
Host/BRI module.
Warning:
To reduce the risk of fire, communication cable conductors must be 26 AWG or
larger.
Avertissement:
Afin de reduire les risques d'incendie, les fils conducteurs du cable de com-
munication doivent etre d'un calibre minimum de 26 AWG (American Wire Gauge),
c’est-a-dire d'un minimum de 0,404 mm.
Warnung:
Um Feuerrisiken zu reduzieren, müssen die Kommunikationskabel-Anschlüße 26
AWG oder größer sein.
For the Net/BRI module
The Net/BRI module (MX-SL-8BRIN) connects to the WAN through a network termination
(NT1) device. You must install a cable from the NT1 that ends in a 100
Ω
termination. The
maximum distance between the NT1 and its termination is 3280 feet (1000 m). You can install
the Net/BRI module anywhere along the length of the cable. Use only cable specifically
constructed for ISDN BRI interfaces.
Note:
In Belgium, install 10 m of cable between the Net/BRI module and the NT1.
Significant data errors can result from use of shorter cables.
