Hardware Features
This section describes the hardware features of the G10 PSTN gateway. See
Figure 3
for a
diagram of the G10 PSTN gateway rear panel.
Ground Lug
A ground lug is provided to ground the G10 PSTN gateway if necessary. If you hear an audible
hum or noise during calls to and from the PSTN, connect the G10 PSTN gateway to ground
earth via the ground lug on the rear panel. A ground wire (also known as a "hook up wire") is not
provided in the shipment for this purpose. You are responsible for obtaining the required ground
wire and for connecting the G10 PSTN gateway to earth ground according to local electrical
codes and standards.
A suitable ground wire would be a 24 AWG (0.0201 in. or 0.511 mm) solid copper wire, or a
lower gauge (23, 22, 21 AWG and so on) solid copper wire.
An earth ground connection can be made in one of several ways—follow local electrical codes
to ground the G10 PSTN gateway.
12V-1.0A Adaptor Jack
The G10 PSTN gateway can operate from an 802.3af PoE LAN, or from the supplied 12 VDC /
1A wall adapter (see
Figure 2
). The adapter connects the G10 PSTN gateway to a power
source.
If you use the supplied adapter, plug it into the 12V-1.0A adaptor jack and power on the G10
PSTN gateway last—after you make all other necessary connections.
LAN Port
The G10 PSTN gateway has one 10/100 Base-T Ethernet connector: an RJ45 LAN port. Using
a customer-supplied Cat5 (or better) Ethernet cable, you connect the LAN port to an unused
port on an IP router or switch that is connected to your Ethernet LAN.
The LAN port has two LEDs: a green link-and-activity LED (right of the port) and an amber
speed LED (left of the port). The link-and-activity LED indicates a link when solid green, and
activity when flashing green. The speed LED indicates 10 Base-T when off, and 100 Base-T
when solid yellow.
