Installing Visionpro; Before You Start - Matrix Visionpro System Manual

CHAPTER 3

Before You Start

Before you begin the installation of VISIONPRO, make sure that the required telecom wiring has been done.
The number of stations you require and their location will determine the type of cabling you require on your
premises.
We recommend that you plan the wiring and the installation of VISIONPRO according to your current and expected
future requirements; so it is recommended that you use a Main Distribution Frame (MDF) for terminating trunk and
station cables.
Before you begin the installation and set up of the system, make sure you have the following:
• A suitable location to install the Main Distribution Frame (MDF)
MDF is optional; if you want you can connect the station and trunk lines directly to the system.
• Necessary telecom wiring in place, with wall jacks for station lines at the required locations.
• A dedicated Power supply outlet close to the system.
• Standard, good quality, twisted pair telephone cables with 0.5 mm conductor diameter.
• For the SLT (FXS) ports, arrange for as many standard analog telephone instruments as required to
connect as SLT stations. You may select any standard telephone instruments like rotary phones or
cordless phones. It is preferable to use SLTs having the CLI (Calling Line Identification) support.
• A fax machine, if required, to connect to the SLT (FXS) port.
• For the CO (FXO) ports, arrange for one or more active analog, two-wire trunk lines, as required.
Well begun is half done; plan your hardware installation well.
2. The MDF connects outside telephone lines coming from the local exchange, on one side and the internal (PBX side) lines on the
other. In simple form, the MDF is a special metallic frame designed and constructed with columns of receptacles to firmly hold the
termination modules for the trunk and station cables. The cables or trunk lines to/from the Public Telephone Exchange terminate
on the line side and cross connections (jumpers) run to the opposite (PBX) side of the MDF. From those terminals, a multi-core
cable runs from a second set of terminals into the PBX.
