AINTAINING
To maintain exclusion, the phone line must terminate at the ASD-4, and all
telephone equipment on other extensions must connect to the line through
the ASD-4's PHONE port as shown in Figure 3-5 on page 14.
You should be a telephone installer, or be familiar with telephone wiring,
to complete this installation. If you have any questions or are not
confident that you can complete this installation procedure, call
technical support or a professional installer for further instructions.
(Look in your phone book's Yellow Pages under "Telephone" to locate a
professional installer.)
Installing the ASD-4 on a given line will briefly interrupt phone service on
that line for all telephone equipment using that line.
For this procedure, you need the following equipment:
• a pair of wire snippers with stripping abilities
• a regular screwdriver and a Phillips screwdriver
• two (2) RJ-11 wallmount-type jacks (available from Black Box)
• two (2) phone cables (also available from Black Box)
• a utility knife
To install the ASD-4 as shown in Figure 3-5, follow these steps:
1. Label one of the RJ-11 jacks "Number 1" and the other "Number 2."
(Note that the RJ-11 jacks have four posts: the red post is marked [R], the
green post is marked [G], the yellow post is marked [Y], and the black
post is marked [B]. You will be attaching wires to these posts later.)
2. Pick a portion of the telephone line from the phone company to work
on. This portion should be located (A) after the point where the line
enters the premises, (B) before the point that the line routes to any
phone jack, and (C) as close as possible to a place where you can put the
ASD-4.
3. With the utility knife, strip that portion of the cable to expose the red,
green, yellow, and black wires that compose it. (If the color codes of the
wires are not red, green, yellow, and black, call for technical support.)
