Installing the phone
❶
Disconnect all equipment, such as
other phones, faxes, or modems
from the lines you will be using for
your Venture system. You can
reconnect this equipment later,
after the Venture system has been
installed and checked.
❷
Review the following
configuration drawings to
determine which set up is best
suited to your individual
requirements.
❸
Install and check one Venture
phone at a time.
❹
Check to see that your Venture
system is properly installed and
communicating.
☞
Ensure that you use only those
cords provided and in the
correct configuration, as
described on the following
pages.
The cord adapter
module
The Cord Adapter Module (CAM)
connects the phone lines and the
power adapter to the Venture phone
through one 8-wire cord. The CAM
has three line ports, labeled as port 1,
port 2 and port 3.
• Port 1 provides a connection to
Venture lines 1, 2 and 3.
• Port 2 provides a connection to
Venture lines 2 and 3 only.
• Port 3 provides a connection to
Venture line 3 only.
The phone port, located next to port
1, is used to connect the CAM to the
phone
. The power port, located
on the top of the CAM, is used to
connect the CAM through the power
adapter to an electrical outlet
.
☞
Only one line cord needs to be
routed to a desktop when the
CAM is used for line
management. This allows you
to keep a neat and tidy surface
area even when using three
separate lines.
Fax and modem
To install a fax or modem to your
Venture phone/system, you should
not use line 1. Plug your fax or
modem into either the line 2 or line 3
port of the CAM, depending on your
system and line configuration.
If you must use line 1 to connect a fax
or modem, we recommend that you
use a separate wall jack.
