Therefore, care should be taken to plan the MDF layout before fastening components
to the rack or table-mounted surface, such as:
„

„
Trunk circuits
„
Wired and wireless station equipment
„
Database programming terminals
„
Report printers
„
Music and/or audio sources
„

„
Recording devices
Connections to most telecommunications interfaces of the Coral IPx Office unit are
made via:
„
Standard 25 pair Input/Output (I/O) Champ (telco) connectors located on the
front panel of the full size peripheral cards. See
Table 5-1 and Figure 5-1 .
„
RJ-45 connectors located on the front panel of full and half size peripheral
cards. See
Table 5-1 and Figure 5-1 .
For information on LAN/WAN connections, see Chapter 11, System Networking .
Tip:
It is recommended to terminate all the I/O connectors available in the
system on punch blocks at the MDF even if some cables are not initially
used. This saves time and effort when the system is expanded.
