Step 6: Connecting the Telephone and Fax Lines
Once you install the voice boards, you must connect them to the switch. The method of
connection depends on the type of voice boards you are using.
Connecting the Voice Boards
The Dialogic and Rhetorex boards all have two RJ-14 jacks on the brackets. Each jack
carries two telephone lines:
•
The top RJ-14 jack supports channels 1 and 2. Channel 1 is the inside pair of
wires; Channel 2 is the outside pair.
•
The lower RJ-14 jack supports channels 3 and 4. Channel 3 is the inside pair of
wires; Channel 4 is the outside pair.
If the switch uses RJ-14 jacks, you need a pair of standard 4-wire modular cables. If the
switch uses RJ-11 jacks, also called single-line terminations, you need RJ-14 to RJ-11
splitting cables, which are available from most electronic stores. Each splitting cable
consists of an RJ-14 plug and a Y cable that terminates in two RJ-11 plugs. If you have
another type of telephone line termination, use an adapter or connector that starts with an
RJ-14 connection and ends with the required termination.
To connect the Dialogic and Rhetorex voice boards to the phone system:
1. With the gold contacts on the RJ-14 end of the modular phone cable facing the gold
contacts of one of the connectors, insert the RJ-14 end of the modular telephone
cable into one of the phone connectors on the bracket of the voice board. The cable
should slide in easily and stay in place once the connection is made.
2. Connect the other end of the telephone cable to a telephone line termination on the
phone system.
3. Repeat step 2 for the other phone connector on the back of the first board.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 to connect each additional board.
Connecting the Fax Lines
Once you install the Brooktrout fax boards, you must connect them to the phone system.
There are two methods of connecting fax boards:
•
Transfer
•
Non-Transfer
Because the type of wiring you use to connect the fax boards depends on a number of
factors, step-by-step connection procedures are not provided. Consult the Configuration
Note for the phone system to determine the hardware required to connect the fax board to
the switch. For additional information, see the considerations provided below.
