What You Need Before You Start; Hardware - Telos Zephyr User Manual

WHAT YOU NEED BEFORE YOU START...

There are two categories of items you need: First, the equipment to connect your
Zephyr to audio equipment and to the ISDN circuit with two B channels; second, some
information that should have been provided to you by the person who installed your
ISDN.

Hardware

•
A Zephyr with a built- in terminal adapter. Sorry, but there are too many variables
when working with an external terminal adapter for us to include such a set- up in
these "Quick Results."
•
An NT1 (also called a Network Termination Unit) with connection cables. All of the
connection cables have telephone- type modular connectors and come packaged
with your Zephyr. There are three ways your NT1 can be present:
1. There is an NT1 built- in to your Zephyr's terminal adapter. Looking at the back
of the unit, if there are two telephone- type modular jacks in the back, you have
a built- in NT1. Generally, you will find this only in the US and Canada. If there
is only one telephone- type connector, you need an external NT1. Cable
required: A standard telephone- type modular cable that fits into the lower jack
on the Zephyr.
2. OR- You have an older Zephyr with an external NT1 (or the European model).
The NT1 is about the size of a small book, has some telephone- type connectors,
and usually has some little indicator lights. Two cables required: The first is a
large, telephone- type modular cable with eight wires that fits into the upper (or
only) jack on the Zephyr and a jack on the NT1 that is labeled "Terminal." The
second is a telephone- type modular cable that fits into the jack on the NT1 that is
labeled "Line" and the jack provided by the telephone company.
3. OR- Your telephone company (Telecom) has provided one. Generally, this is the
case in Europe and Asia. Cable required: A large, telephone- type modular cable
with eight wires that fits into the upper (or only) jack on the Zephyr and a jack
on the NT1 that is labeled "Terminal." Your NT1 should have been wired to the
ISDN line by your Telco.
•
Audio connections. You want to hear something, don't you? Connections are
needed for sending audio to the remote location and receiving audio from it. You
IMPORTANT!
An RJ-11 style 6-position plug can be inserted into the center
of an RJ-45 style 8-position jack, if the Telco charged you
extra and installed a RJ-45 jack for your ISDN line.
