12.11 Out of Building Telephone Installations
The following are the only supported scenarios in which wired extensions and devices outside the main building can be
connected to the IP Office system. In these scenarios, additional protection, in the form of protective grounding and
surge protectors, must be fitted.
·
WARNING
The fitting of additional protection does not remove the risk of damage. It merely reduces the chances of
damage.
·
Cables of different types, for example trunk lines, phone extensions, ground and power connections, should be
kept separate.
·
All cabling between buildings should be enclosed in grounded ducting. Ideally this ducting should be buried.
·
A Primary Protection Box must be provided at the point where the cables enter the building. This should be three
point protection (tip, ring and ground). Typically this would be gas tube protection provided by the local telephone
company. The ground wire must be thick enough to handle all the lines being affected by indirect strike at the
same time.

ports only.
IP Office Barrier Box
Supports a single connection.
Maximum of 16 on any expansion
module.
·
Connection from the expansion module to the
phone must be via a surge protector at each end
and via the primary protection point in each
building.
·
The IP Office external expansion modules, control
unit and IROB devices must be connected to the
protective ground point in their building.
·
The between building connection must be via
earthed ducting, preferable underground. The
cable must not be exposed externally at any point.
DS Phone Extensions
ITWLinx towerMAX DS/2

Currently not supported.
Analog Trunks

This device was previously
referred to as the Avaya 146C.
For installations in the Republic of South Africa, the
fitting of surge protection on analog trunks is a
requirement.
For other locations where the risk of lightning strikes
is felt to be high, additional protection of incoming
analog trunks is recommended.
External Output Switch
ITWLinx towerMAX SCL/8
This device was previously
referred to as the Avaya 146G.
Connections from an IP Office Ext O/P port to an
external relay device must be via a surge protector.
