1.5.5 Grounding
All IP Office control units and external expansion modules must be connected to a functional ground. Where the unit is
connected to a power outlet using a power cord with an earth lead, the power outlet must be connected to a protective
earth.
Use of ground connections reduces the likelihood of problems in most telephony and data systems. This is especially
important in buildings where multiple items of equipment are interconnected using long cable runs, for example phone and
data networks.
In some cases, such as ground start trunks, in addition to being a protective measure, this is a functional requirement for
the equipment to operate. In other cases it may be a locale regulatory requirement and or a necessary protective step, for
example areas of high lightning risk.

WARNING
During installation do not assume that ground points are correctly connected to ground. Test ground points before
relying on them to ground connected equipment.
The ground point on IP Office control units and external expansion modules are marked with a or symbol. Ground
connections to these points should use a 14 AWG solid wire with either a green sleeve for a functional ground or green and
yellow sleeve for a protective ground.
