    1.1.5 Airflow and cooling CAUTION The chassis uses forced air-cooling internally. It is imperative that Prosody X systems are operated with all covers fitted and that none of the ventilation holes/slots on the front, or rear of the chassis are obstructed. Installation in a rack should be such that the airflow required for safe operation is not compromised.

  • Page 8: Ethernet Connections

    Ethernet switch. Cabling The Prosody X is connected to other network equipment via CAT 5, 5e, 6 or 6e cables. There are two types of interface and they have different pin assignments. The pin-out of the RJ45/48 connectors for both E1/T1 and Ethernet connections are detailed below.
  • Page 9: Cable Pinouts

    Some legacy E1 PSTN networks require 75 Ohm trunk connection. The default impedance for E1 trunks in the Prosody X is 120 Ohm. It is important to confirm with the network operator which impedance the PSTN is using during the installation process, as a mismatch can lead to signal degradation and erratic equipment behaviour that is difficult to diagnose later.
  • Page 10: Cable Lengths

    For E1 trunks converted to BNC cabling, it is recommended that overall span length is limited to 100m maximum and that 75 Ohm cabling and connectors are used. The 75 Ohm adapter should be installed close to the Prosody X RJ45 socket to minimise impedance mismatch effects.
