Setting up the Power Data Box and connections

After you have positioned the Polycom CX5000 device on the table as described above,
you can now begin to connect the cords and cables to the power data box. Select an
appropriate power source for the Polycom CX5000 device, using the following
guidelines:
•
Use only the power data box and alternating current (AC) power cord that came
with the Polycom CX5000 device.
•
Do not use nonstandard power sources, such as generators or inverters, even if
the voltage and frequency appear acceptable. Use only AC power provided by a
standard wall outlet.
•
Use a properly grounded electrical outlet that accommodates the three-prong
grounding plug. Do not remove the grounding prong. If the plug does not fit into
your outlet, have an electrician replace the obsolete outlet.
•
Do not use the Polycom CX5000 device in a moist or wet environment.
•
Do not spill any liquid on the Polycom CX5000 device, power data box, or any
cords.
To set up the power data box and Polycom CX5000 connections
Locate the power data box, the RJ45 network cable, the RJ11 telephone cable, and
power cord. The following procedure describes how to connect the cables and cord to
the power data box, the Polycom CX5000 device, and your computer.
1. Fully insert the 26-pin system cable from the Polycom CX5000 device into the
power data box. Ensure that the connection is tight and secured.
2. Connect one end of the RJ11 phone cable (26 AWG minimum) to the RJ11 jack
on the power data box and the other end to an active PSTN RJ11 phone jack.
For international locales, always plug the RJ11 telephone cable into the power
data box first and attach the correct phone adapter to the opposite end of the
RJ11 telephone cord prior to connecting to your on-site phone jack. The RJ11
connection is for use in the United States and Canada.
3. Connect one end of the RJ45 network cable to the RJ45 jack on the power data
box and the other end to an active Ethernet RJ45 network jack.
4. Plug the AC power cord into the power data box.
The system cable, power cord, RJ11 cable, and the RJ45 cable should be
connected. Always plug the RJ11 telephone cable into the power data box first and
attach the correct phone adapter to the opposite end of the RJ11 telephone cord
prior to connecting to your on-site phone jack.
