Connecting the telephones

General information

553-3021-210 Standard 7.00
This chapter contains instructions for connecting telephones to the
cross-connect terminal. It also contains the location of the individual
extension numbers (DNs) when you are implementing one of the default
numbering plans and how to activate each telephone.
Refer to the instructions provided with the telephone or console and to
Telephone and Attendant Console: Installation (553-3001-215) for detailed
information about installing telephones and consoles.
The cable from the cabinet card slot containing the line card associated with
the telephone being connected, must be installed before you continue. Refer
to "Installing and connecting cross-connect terminals to cabinets" on
page 169, if additional cabling is required.
Cable assignments
The cables from each cabinet are labeled J1 through J10 at the cross-connect
terminal. Each cable represents a specific set of Terminal Numbers (TNs) as
shown in Table 37 on page 258.
Always use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Avoid installing telephone wiring during a lightning storm. Do not
install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically
designed for wet locations. Never touch uninsulated telephone wiring
unless the line has been disconnected at the network interface.
