EXTender 4000 for IP - provides remote voice access to a corporate PBX for a single remote user. Remote users can connect to the PBXgateway II via a 10BaseT Ethernet connection using IP packet transmission. Remote users’ phones will connect into the remote module via an RJ-45 or RJ-11 phone jack, and their phone traffic will be placed in IP packets and sent out to the LAN via a 10BaseT Ethernet connection to the PBXgateway II.
Remote offices with multiple users can be connected through the following device: EXTender 6000, 8 & 12 user -– provides remote voice access to a corporate PBX using one of the above remote clients for phone termination at the remote site.
Disabled Mode Allows the user to call into the PBX/KTS to get dialtone to place outgoing calls to anywhere in the world (assuming permission). In this mode, the ConneX PBXgateway does not route incoming calls to the user’s phone.
MUST be operational and con-figured properly. • Proper wiring with adequate punch down blocks to connect the unit to the PBX. Note: Must be wired according to Wiring Chart on page 16.
Bandwidth Requirements The most important consideration during the setup of the PBXgateway II is determining the necessary bandwidth required at the client location. Bandwidth is only a concern if the client is using EXTender 6000 units connected via RVP_Direct. The bandwidth is determined by the number of users (telephones) and the corresponding compression type used.
MCK Remote Client Map The PBXgateway II unit is capable of managing multiple remotes (single and multi-user) with different user requirements, installed in different locations and within different network environments. The following worksheet can be used to “map” each individual remote client port with the necessary connection (WAN or LAN), compression method, and user information (User ID, EXT) as they apply to the PBXgateway II.
50 pin, CAT 3 cable with RJ-21 connectors. Required for wiring the telephony interface between the punch down blocks and the PBXgateway II. • Punch down blocks, which provides the interface between the RJ-21 connector and the PBX. Note: RJ21 cables, connecting blocks and network cables may be ordered through MCK by calling 1- 617-454-6100.
Figure 6: Securing the Unit to a Rack Connections to the PBX The typical connections from the PBXgateway II to the PBX are shown below. Note: Refer to page 16 for PBX wiring information. Figure 7: PBXgateway II – PBX Connections...
Connect to a FRAD, CSU/DSU or other network device. Note: An RS-530 type cable or DB-25 to M34 cable should be used for high-speed links to V.35 equipment. Wire to a punch down block and then to the PBX.
Telephony Wiring Once the PBXgateway II is mounted, the individual phone ports must be wired to the PBX using a 50-pin, RJ-21 cable. Each wire pair consists of two pins and is color-coded as detailed in the chart below. Table 2:...
Connection for the Management Interface (MI) Direct Serial Connection The console port provides a direct serial connection to a PC allowing access to all features and functions of the PBXgateway II Management Interface and the ability to configure, monitor and troubleshoot the unit.
