Cabling and Installing MP-124
Warnings:
•
Prior to installing MP-124, proper grounding (earthing) and power-surge protection must
be done; refer to the
Hardware
Installation Manual
for detailed instructions. AudioCodes'
will not bear responsibility to damage that may be caused to the device as a result of not
complying with the instructions detailed in the
Hardware Installation Manual
.
•
Prior to connecting MP-124 to power, refer to the
Compliancy and Regulatory Information
document at
•
Connect MP-124 to a safety extra-low voltage (SELV) source that is sufficiently isolated
from the mains.
•
For FXS cabling, you can use your own third-party MDF connector cable or you can use
AudioCodes' MP-124 FXS Patch Panel (ordered separately from AudioCodes). When using a
third-party MDF for FXS cabling, to reduce noise interference, use a twisted-pair Octopus
cable terminated on a metal-hooded 50-pin Telco connector.
To cable and install MP-124:
1.
Connect the Ethernet port to your LAN switch, using the RJ-45 Ethernet cable connector.
2.
Connect MP-124 to FXS-based analog equipment (for example, telephone, fax, and modem):
•
Third-party MDF: Using a twisted 25-pair Octopus cable, connect each wire pair to its corresponding
MDF adaptor block socket, and then connect the wire-pairs at the other end to a 50-pin male Telco
connector. Connect this to the MP-124 50-pin female Telco connector. Connect your analog
equipment to the MDF using RJ-11 cables.
