• Direct connection
• Indirect cabling via (main) distribution frame and any universal building cable instal-
lation (UBC) (see also Fig. 32 and Fig. 33).

Direct connection
Standard commercial cables are used to connect directly to the telephone network. De-
tails can be found in the Chapter "Network interfaces", page 117.
On terminal cards with 16 or more interfaces some or all of the RJ45 sockets are multi-
ply assigned. They can be split into individual RJ45 sockets using patch cables and the
fan-out-panel (see "Fan-out panel FOP", page 148).

Indirect connection
There are two possibilities for connecting the communication server indirectly to the
telephone network and terminal-side cabling:
• Connection via main distribution board
• Connection to a universal building cable installation (UBC)
