Unpacking
Unpack the equipment and check it against your equipment lists. Inspect for physical damage. If you are not
sure about a component’s function, review
Components
(page 1). Contact your Sales Representative if you
have additional questions.
Have the appropriate tools for the job on hand, including: a test set, a punch down tool and a digital voltmeter.
Before Installing
Make sure you have a building plan showing the location of the common equipment, extensions, the telco
demarcation and earth ground. In addition, the installation site must meet the requirements outlined in the
Standard Practices Manual.
Site Requirements
The common equipment is contained in the wall-mounted Main Equipment Cabinet. Choose a central location
for the cabinet that allows enough space for the equipment — and provides enough room for you to comfortably
work.
