Connecting a CAT to the Control Unit

Connecting a CAT
to the Control Unit
The Call Accounting Terminal (CAT) is a stand-alone unit that provides call
accounting information. It connects to the SMDR jack on the control unit and
links the control unit to the CAT printer. The connection of the CAT to the control
unit depends on the distance and whether the CAT and control unit share the
same AC outlet.
The CAT and CAT printer are connected at the same time. For more
information, see
If the CAT is grounded to the same AC outlet as the control unit and the
CAT and CAT printer are within 14 ft. (4.27 m) and 50 ft. (15.2 m),
respectively, of the control unit, refer to
on the Same AC
If the CAT is either not grounded to the same AC outlet as the control unit
or is more than 14 ft. (4.27 m) from the control unit, refer to
a CAT and Printer on a Different AC
