Connecting Backup Power
Figure 3-15 Connecting a Battery Backup to a DC-Powered Cisco VG224
Caution
Use a backup battery only if you are not using AC to power your Cisco VG224 voice gateway.
Do not
use AC and DC power at the same time
. If you do, the unit stops operating, and you need to reboot it
with only a single power source.
Note
We recommend a 12-volt automotive battery if you require longer periods of battery backup (up to
8 hours).
Figure 3-16
shows the DC power connector. See
Table 3-5
for pinout information for the DC power
connector on the Cisco VG224 voice gateway.
