Planning for installation
Ensure that the other end of the cable matches the connectors needed to connect
to the telephones or trunks. (For example, if you are using a BIX block to
establish the telephone connections, you might need to cut off the connector to
expose the wires inside.)
Notes:
n
Two telephone cables may be required, based on how many telephones and
ISDN BRI lines you plan to connect. (Each telephone cable provides
support for up to 16 digital telephones, and two ISDN BRI lines providing
two B-channels each. The Telco 1 cable also provides support for one
analog station such as a fax machine.)
n
The Telco 1 and 2 connections are the opposite gender of the connections
for an Meridian 1 IPE or Option 11 cabinet line card slot. Therefore, you
must use different cables when connecting to the Remote Office 9150 than
those used to connect to Meridian 1 line cards.
n
Digital telephones should be located no further than 1230.7 meters (4000
feet) from the Remote Office 9150 unit.
n
The analog device should be located no further than 307.7 meters (1000
feet) from the Remote Office 9150 unit.
Ethernet cable
If you are connecting the Remote Office 9150 unit to a hub, you need a standard
CAT5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) straight-through Ethernet cable. The cable
should be no longer than 100 meters (325 feet) in length.
