JP-C connected (the So interface emulates the NTE). In situations where the BT Inspiration is not required to provide the S-Bus 100 ohm termination on the To interfaces, the jumpers JP-A and JP-B may be removed. It is recommended the link be inserted on one of the pins to ensure it is not lost.
Extension Expansion card connections There are two sets of four jumpers on the extension expansion card, which provide ISDN/S-Bus setup options when an ISDN expansion card is connected into slot 9. The four jumpers at the back of the RJ45 connector (J1,J3, J4 and J2) must be moved to the S position for So operation.

Connecting/Disconnecting the Battery Insert the battery, bottom-first into the mounting bracket using clockwise motion The cable connecting the positive terminal of the battery to the BBU circuit board is attached via the fused (see above), keyed connector. Unplug the connector from the circuit board, before inserting or removing the battery and then connect/disconnect the battery terminals.
Central Bell It should be noted that the BT Inspiration is provided with a connector for a Central Bell. This is a single pair on which ringing is supplied. The Central bell can be provided by running a cable pair from the Central Bell IDC see position 7 on Base Motherboard to a master line jack unit.
General cabling and wiring information Do not exceed the following resistance limit when connecting extensions to the CCU (0.5 mm tinned copper conductor). 100 ohms or 500 metres for Featurephone extensions 200 ohms or 1.4 Km for standard 2-wire telephone extensions 336 ohms or 2 kilometres for 2-wire extension connected to extension position 22.

Attaching the Featurephone desk plinth The Featurephone may be attached to the desk plinth at two angles. One angle elevates the display to a higher level. When the correct viewing angle has been verified Upper clip the plinth into either the lower or upper slots on the underside of the Featurephone.
Wall mounting a Featurephone Locate, drill and plug the two screw locations as shown. The holes should be deep enough to accept a 2.5 cm screw. Screw in the two screws, leaving 3 or 4 mm protruding. Remove the plinth from the base of the phone and locate the two keyhole slots on the base of the phone over the two screws.
Power fail When planning the extension wiring for the system, consideration should be given to the use and location of Featurephones and two wire extensions where they may be used in power fails situations. PSTN In the event of a total system power failure at least 50% of the equipped lines are switched to extensions. Lines 1 and 2 are power failed to extensions 24 and 25 the last two extensions on the basic unit.
Call manager PC COM Port Mains transformer TAPI Underside of Featurephone Call manager is a PC based application which allows the customer to control their Featurephone from a PC. The application is customer configurable and is loaded from several application disks which the customer receives with their Call Manager equipment.
