    Connecting the Control Unit to the Network Interface The way you connect the control unit to the network interface depends on the type of network interface that is installed. While there are many ways you can do this, the methods discussed in this chapter are usually best. CAUTION: The telephone company is responsible for providing appropriate protection for central office trunks.
  • Page 143: Wiring

    Wiring Wiring The local telephone company should have installed the network interface (the central office trunks) already. Before you install the system, verify that the network interface is the proper type and that it is within 25 ft. (7.6 m) of the control unit.
  • Page 144: Connecting The Control Unit To The Network Interface

    Wiring NOTE: If you need to connect the trunk cords differently from the instructions on the system forms, record each change on Form 2c, System Numbering: Line/Trunk Jacks. See Appendix A, “System Numbering Forms.” Also, you may need to know the interface codes for network facilities. These codes are shown in Table 4–2, by trunk type and adapter type.

    Wiring RJ11 and RJ14 Interfaces RJ11 and RJ14 interfaces are connected to the control unit similarly. However, note the following differences: RJ11 connects one central office trunk per jack. RJ14 connects two trunks per jack. Plug a 267C-type adapter into each RJ14 jack. You need D2R cords for RJ11 jacks.
  • Page 152 Wiring CAUTION: Incorrect wiring can damage the ports and cause them to stop functioning. Make sure you use the proper cords. For all GS/LS modules, do the following: Use a D2R cable from an RJ11. Do not use the Brand-Rex Quad cable from an E66 block. If you cannot avoid using the Brand-Rex Quad cable, reverse the tip and ring leads at the E66 block to correct the mismatch.
  • Page 153: Testing Trunks

    Testing Trunks CAUTION: Be careful not to connect tie trunks to GS, LS, or DID ports. Since all the jacks on the termination block are 8-wire jacks, it is possible to interchange tie trunk wires with GS, LS, or DID wires accidentally.
