1.2.2
Interface Connectors
The unit has 12 RJ-45 ports that are used to connect radios, four-wire devices, and some types of
iDEN/cellular phones. [These are four-wire devices that currently use DSP Modules in an ACU
system.] Adapter cables are available that allow use of the large library of interface cables that
were developed for the ACU product line. The adapters are RJ-45 on one end and D-15 on the
other. See additional interface cable information on Table 1-4.
o
VoIP and RoIP connections are made via one of four Ethernet RJ-45 LAN Ports.
o
PSTN connections are made via 3 RJ-11 ports.
o
The handset (supplied, same as used with ACU-2000) cord plugs into an RJ-12 jack.
o
The system also includes a standard USB port (for future features) and a 3.5 mm jack to
drive an external speaker.
1.2.3
Interconnect Limitations
There can be no more than 12 communications channels (plus the handset channel if desired) in
use at any time, and these channels can be configured as any combination of radio ports, VoIP
ports, RoIP ports, or PSTN ports, with the only limitation being that the maximum number of
PSTN ports is 3. Configuration is done by web browser; no local/manual intervention is needed
(that is, it’s not necessary to be at the same location as the ACU-5000 to configure a channel).
Examples of possible configurations include any or all of the following (and many more):
o
The 12 channels can be configured as 12 Radio ports or 12 VoIP ports
o
Alternatively, there can be 6 of Radio ports and 6 VoIP ports
o
The system can be set up as 3 Radio ports, 3 VoIP ports, 3 RoIP ports and 3 PSTN ports
Again, the only limitation on the 12 available channels is that no more than 3 can be designated
as PSTN ports. This limitation is set by the three RJ-11 jacks and the hardware required to
interface to phone lines.
Note: See Section 0 for an explanation of the use of PSTN and/or VoIP ports for connection of
VoIP phones.
1.3
LAN Ports
The unit has multiple RJ-45 Ethernet connectors to interface the unit to IP networks; there are 4
on the table-top version and 2 on the rack-mount version. All Ethernet communications and
control/status traffic use one of these ports. Besides the basic network connection for remote
control and configuration via the unit’s web based GUI, these ports can be used for:
•
Direct connection of local computer by CAT5 cable (standard or cross-over cable).
•
Two ACU-5000 units connected together to create a 24 channel system (see Section 1.9)
•
Connection to another network (for example, the Internet) for VoIP, RoIP, or remote-
control traffic.
