Interoperability Now
Note that the RJ-45 connector’s lower number of connectors as compared to the D15 standard
JPS interface cable disallows special functions (such as using radio RS-232 communication for
radio channel changing) that are available with the ACU-1000 or ACU-2000.

VoIP (SIP) Interface
All VoIP connections are made through one of the unit’s four Ethernet RJ-45 LAN connectors.
The standard SIP protocol is used, allowing the use of readily available VoIP phones.
Figure 3-2
VoIP via External or Internal ATA
There are two VoIP connections depicted in the diagram above. One connection is via an Analog
Telephone Adapter to a PSTN port on the ACU-5000. Another connection is via SIP through an
ACU-5000 VoIP channel. Both connections ultimately result in digital audio signals that are
mixed internally in the ACU-5000. In the “non-PSTN” VoIP call, the internal ATA provides the
same function as the external ATA-to-PSTN interface does.
Additional VoIP phone users can be included, and if all ACU-5000 channels are configured for
VoIP, up to 12 VoIP phones can engage in a conference call (or two simultaneous 6-party calls,
etc.).
