Installing the ICX-250 The ICX-250 unit can be installed in a rack, on a desktop or attached to a wall using appropriate wall anchors and brackets. It is necessary to read the information that follows to ensure proper reliability of unit.
The chassis comes with brackets for rack mounting. The installation site for rack mounting should provide proper room for ventilation and cable routing. Provide at least 2 inches of clearance between each ICX-250 unit to allow for removal of the top if necessary for resetting of switches.
Locating the ICX-250 on a Desktop Each unit can be easily set on top of a desk or table. A stable environment is necessary for peak performance of each unit. ICX-250 Rubber feet are necessary for proper ventilation and air flow of the unit when mounted on a flat surface.
T he ICX-250 Unit The ICX-250 comes equipped with either 12 FXS (model 240212) or 24 FXS (model 240224) analog voice ports depending on which model you purchase. Each unit is designed to allow easy accessibility to switches and electrical connectors. The diagrams below illustrate the front and rear layout of the unit.

C H A P T E R Configuring the ICX-250 Inside this chapter you will learn how to configure the ICX-250 unit using internal and external switch settings. Contents Internal DIP Switches ....18 Setup and Configure the ICX-250 .
Internal DIP Switches The ICX-250 comes equipped with either 12 FXS or 24 FXS analog voice ports depending on which model you purchase. For illustration purposes the 24 FXS port model is shown. There are a total of eight internal DIP switches (five on the main circuit board, and three on the auxiliary board).
The ICX-250 unit is equipped with internal and external DIP switches. The following table describes the switches that are used to configure the ICX-250 for operation. Refer to the silkscreen on the cover of the unit for location of switches. Parenthetical references indicate the page number that detail the operation.
