SMDR/SMDA output device(s) must be placed within 50 feet (15 meters) of the
KSU (limited by RS ‐ 232C standard wiring practices).
The computing equipment should be located in a climate ‐ controlled room
adhering to the Environmental Specifications (see: “Specifications”).
When installing the KSU and station instruments, allow a sufficient margin
for error in case of air conditioning failure, routine maintenance, plant
shutdown, etc. As a general rule, if conditions are suitable for office
personnel, they are also suitable for the KSU computing device and terminal
equipment operation. A properly controlled environment will help to extend
the operating life of the equipment.
Product Safety Specification Governing Telephone Equipment - UL 1459
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically
designed for wet locations.
• Never touch non ‐ insulated telephone wires or terminals unless the tele ‐
phone line has been disconnected at the network’s interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Tools and Supplies
• Assemble the correct supplies and tools to install the Emerald ICE as it is
intended.
• Use UTP (Unshielded, Twisted ‐ Pair) three or four pair cable to run from the
MDF (Main Distribution Frame) to all station terminals (EKT, DSS Consoles
and analog devices).
• Digital terminals only need one twisted pair to operate. (Additional pairs are
always recommended to allow for future potential uses e.g. Facsimile
machines and modems.)
• Six conductor modular jack assemblies for all station terminals.
• Standard punch ‐ down terminal block(s) (66Ml ‐ 50 type) as required.
• Twenty ‐ five (25) pair UTP cable fitted with male gender AMP ‐ type connec ‐
tors at one end (typically referred to as “pig ‐ tails”). The quantity of these
cables is determined by the equipment installed. The basic configuration
requires two 25 ‐ pair cables.
• AC voltage surge/spike protector.
• Standard telephone hand tools and mounting hardware for the KSU(s), MDF
backboard, punch ‐ down terminal block(s), modular jack assemblies, etc.
