More information is found in Datasheet A100K10799
The cabinet can be wall or shelf mounted or mounted in a 19” rack. It
has room for installation of one AMC-IP processor board and up to 6
feature boards. The server also includes a power board and a cooling
fan.
● All cables are terminated to connectors on the backplane.
● The two-pair star wired intercom cables are connected using
pluggable screw connectors.
● Two RJ45 Ethernet terminals are used for IP LAN, WAN, Internet and
AlphaNet IP communication.
● The serial ports with RS232 and RS422/485 interfaces are used for

If line points 5 and/or 6 are to be used as subscriber line points,
follow the connection procedure for AlphaCom XE7 in section 2.2.9.
● The server is normally powered from the mains via a 24 VAC
transformer. The 6 A type 203 0010 260 can serve up to 24
subscribers, while the 11 A type 203 0010 270 is needed for a full
cabinet of 36 subscribers.
● Battery backup power is connected to the 24 VDC input plug.

The jumper is used to provide galvanic connection between the
cabinet and 0V (DC-GND) or isolation from 0V (AC-GND). AC-GND
is only used on marine vessels.
