CHAPTER 2 |
Installing the SBX
2
To connect to the PC through an Ethernet (LAN) Network
The SBX
2
provides a RJ45 port (Network 1) to connect the SBX
2
to a PC via a network.
See SBX2 Port Descriptions and Cabling Instructions on page 11 for more information.
1. Ensure that a vacant, active network outlet is nearby. If one is not nearby, install one.
2. Connect one end of the RJ45 to RJ45 cable to the Network 1 RJ45 port on the
SBX
2
.
3. Plug the free end of the RJ45 to RJ45 cable into the vacant, active network outlet.
4. Ensure the
“link” LED is on (green).
To connect to the PC directly with the Network port
It is possible to create a non-LAN Ethernet connection by connecting the network port of a PC directly to the Network
1 Port on the SBX
2
.
See the Interalia document SBX
2
How to Enable Direct Connection to a PC (document number 41-HG-000-001-00-
EN-85).
Connecting Remote Telephone Access (optional)
The SBX
2
provides a remote telephone access port, which is accessed through the REMOTE RJ45 connector on the
SBX
2
. See SBX2 Port Descriptions and Cabling Instructions on page 11 for more information.
An analog line is connected (using a standard telephone jack and cable) to the SBX
2
to provide Remote Access to the
SBX
2
. Remote Access allows control of the SBX
2
from a remote location using a DTMF (touch tone) telephone. Thus an
operator who is not in the same room as the SBX
2
, or who does not have installed on their PC, can still create
and modify SBX
2
messages.
To connect an analog line to provide Remote Telephone Access
1. Ensure that a vacant, active telephone outlet is nearby. If one is not nearby, install one.
2. Connect the one end of the POTS line or analog extension to the RJ45 REMOTE access port on the
SBX
2
.
3. Plug the RJ45 Mating Connector (telephone jack) on the opposite end of the POTS line or analog extension into the
vacant active telephone outlet.
4. Configure the SBX
2
to allow Remote Access. See Understanding SBX2 Remote Telephone Access on page 69.
