Serial Ports; Ethernet Connection - ESI IP 200 Installation Manual

Hardware overview/installation IP Series Installation Manual

Serial ports

Two standard DB9F serial connectors are located on the lower right-hand side of the IP PBX. These
ports use straight-through serial cables (not provided), one end of which should be terminated with a
DB9M connector, to communicate with other devices.
The output from each serial port is 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity. DTx is on pin 2, Rx is on pin 3,
and ground is on pin 5. The bit rate is programmable via Function 18. The choices are 300,1200,
2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, or 38400 bits per second. The default is 38400 bps.
SMDR Port ("Port 1" in programming)
Real-time SMDR call records are continuously output to the SMDR port.
Maintenance Port ("Port 2" in programming)
Connect a PC to this port via straight-through serial cable to conduct online programming and
diagnostics. The reports generated by Function 7 are output to this port.
External paging device connection
A dry-contact overhead-paging device can be connected to the system through the RJ-11 overhead-
paging connector on the front of the IP PBX. This connector is located just to the
left of the RJ-45 Ethernet interface. Though this is a six-pin connector, only two
pairs will be pulled from the OH paging device to the connector.
To pin out the connector for normally-open operation, connect the audio wires to
pins 3 and 4, and the other pair to pins 1 and 2.
To pin out the connector for normally-closed operation, connect the audio wires to
pins 3 and 4, and the other pair to pins 5 and 6.

Ethernet connection

Connect a straight-through Category-5 (568A or 568B) cable from the RJ-45 connector labeled
"Ethernet" to any non-uplink port on the data hub or switch. The link light on both devices will
begin to glow green. If the IP PBX is already powered on, the 10/100 light will begin to flash red
(10Mbps) or green (100Mbps). If IP phones are already on the network and powered on, the VoIP
Activity LED will begin to flash.
