Chapter 2 Installation
If telephone services, such as voice or integrated services digital network (ISDN),
use the same cabling as LRE traffic, you must connect the LRE to a plain old
telephone service (POTS) splitter.
Cisco LRE products are designed to share lines with analog, Integrated Services
Note
Digital Network (ISDN), and digital private branch exchange (PBX) switch
telephones that use the 0 to 700 kHz frequency range. Digital telephones
connected to digital PBX switches that use frequencies above 700 kHz do not
work when sharing a line with LRE signals. Due to the proprietary nature of
digital PBX switches, some digital PBX switch services use frequencies above
700 kHz. [CSCdu73260]
If no other telephone services travel on the same wiring as LRE traffic, the LRE
