Connecting telephone lines

Connect the telephone lines as shown in figure 4.5.

Caution

A connection to a telephone network must 

always be made via a telephone coupler that 

provides adequate isolation between the 

telephone network (PBX) and the Plena system. 

The telephone coupler must also meet all 

relevant requirements for this type of 

communication equipment as imposed by law 

and/or responsible telecommunication 

organizations in the country of use. Never try to 

make a direct connection between the telephone 

network and the mixer amplifier.
