PHASE 3

Cut-over Fire Alarm Panel lines to new CDS-9090 device.

CAUTION: ONLY PROCEED IF STEPS 1 AND 2 ARE COMPLETE & WITHOUT ANY OPEN ISSUES.
Once those POTS Line terminations are found in the telco closet demarc/SIN, their cable-runs to
the Fire Alarm Panel need to be isolated from their telco POTS lines and redirected to the
DataRemote CDS-9090 device's phone ports using included 5' long phone cords. The method of
termination of those lines coming back from the Fire Alarm Panel will dictate the next steps taken to
cut them over to DataRemote CDS-9090 device.
1. If the cable runs coming from the Fire Panel terminate in the Telco closet demarc/SIN to an RJ-11
or RJ-45 patch-panel or surface-mount (SMT) jack:
a. Determine which jack is associated to the primary or secondary line from Fire Alarm
Panel and mark them respectively with new device's telephone numers as noted
in your checklist during Step 1 tasks for 9090's phone 1-8 ports respectively.
b. Remove what's plugged into the Primarily marked jack now and plug one end of a
phone cord included in the kit into that jack and the other end into Phone jack of the
DataRemote CDS-9090 device respective line for Fire Alarm – Primary Dialer connection.
NOTE: Mark this phone 1 port's phone cord with a "1" or "P" to reflect it connects to the
CDS-9090 pevice's phone alarm port.
c. Repeat with other included phone cord for secondary marked jack into phone 2 jack of
the DataRemote CDS-9090 device for Fire Alarm – secondary dialer connection
