10. Connecting the Meridian M4000
Terminals
This procedure is used to connect Meridian M4000-series Terminals to the system.
It assumes that the building wiring is in place, and assigned cross-connections are
made at the office cross-connect panel and any other distribution frames between
the terminal and system.
The M4000 terminals must be located within 610 m (2000 ft) of the system
cabinets, measured according to the total length of wiring used, including
cross-connect panels. For information on where the terminals are to be located and
connected, see the provisioning tables and the floor plan in the Site Records,
450-1011-152.
The M4000 terminals can be connected either directly to the Teladapt jacks at the
bottom of the office cross-connect panel or via the building wiring to the BIX
connectors on the panel.
When connected via the building wiring, the wiring must consist of twisted pairs.
Short stretches of untwisted wire, such as cross-connect or Teladapt cables, are
permissible, but long stretches will reduce the 610 m (2000 ft) allowable distance
for high-speed LANLink lines.
To connect an M4000 terminal to the system, proceed as follows:
(1) Locate the six-conductor Teladapt cord shipped with the M4000 terminal.
(2) Plug one end of the cord into the assigned Teladapt jack. This jack may be on
(3) Run the cable to the M4000 terminal and plug it into the rear of the terminal.
(4) If the keyboard has not already been connected to the terminal, locate the short

length of Teladapt cord used to interconnect the keyboard with the terminal.
the lower part of the cross-connect panel or on a wall jack. (Refer to the
provisioning tables in the Site Records, 450-1011-152, for assignments.)
