Connecting the V!CAS to the ISDN
The V!CAS ISDN BRI port can be connected to your ISDN subscriber out-
let with the included ISDN cable or any standard 8 pin RJ-45 cable.

an ISDN subscriber outlet.
2. Attach the other end of the cable to the port marked ISDN S
0
on the
V!CAS.
Connecting analog devices to the V!CAS
You can connect up to two analog devices, such as telephones, fax ma-
chines, or modems, to the POTS
1
ports A and B of your V!CAS.
If you just connect V!CAS to the ISDN and two analog telephones to
ports A and B you can use the following functions without any further con-
figuration.
• Free-of-charge internal calls between the two connected devices—
the device at port A can be reached by dialling »
∗
1«, the number for
port B is »
∗
2«. You can of course change these numbers if needed.
• You can call any external number by simply dialling it. If your V!CAS
is connected to the ISDN through an external PBX, you may have to
dial a prefix code for external calls.
For instructions on how to configure the phone numbers for the POTS
ports please refer to pages 84 ff.

Note:
Please note, however, that these devices must be configured
to use tone dialling (Mehrfrequenzwahl in Germany), and not
pulse selection (Impulswahl in Germany).
Also make sure to use cables with the correct pinout (see
Appendix A).
