Analog Standard Station Interface Unit (Lslu1A); Modular Or Amphenol Connections; Extenders - Toshiba Strata CIX40 General Description Manual

Analog Standard Station Interface Unit (LSLU1A)

The optional 2-circuit LSLU card provides for connection of two analog devices, such as faxes,
modems, standard telephones, etc., without message waiting. The LSLU installs into a dedicated
mount in rear of Strata CIX Base Cabinet behind the processor slot. The LSLU does not occupy
any of the universal slots of the cabinet, so it does not reduce the maximum capacity of the system.
The two analog station ports are accessible on the front of the base cabinet via modular connectors.

Modular or Amphenol Connections

The Strata CIX200 provides a choice of using either RJ45 modular connectors or amphenol
connectors for terminating CO line and station interfaces.
• Modular connectors provide an IT friendly environment using RJ45 cables and patch panel
connections in data racks.
• Amphenol connectors provide efficient connection to existing voice cables terminated on the
wall on 110 or 66 blocks.
• Either way, the installation technician can exercise his preference or the customer's preference
for the type of connection that will take less time to install or save the customer money.
Modular RJ45 connectors are provided by adding optional extenders and modular faceplates to
CIX interface cards used in the Strata CIX200. This enables the modular interface cables to be
connected at the front panel of the CIX200 cabinet.
Amphenol connectors are provided by using CIX interface cards in the Strata CIX200 without
extender cards. In this configuration, amphenol interface cables are routed through the side of the
cabinet and a flat face plate covers the slot housing the card. See the Strata CIX Installation and
Maintenance Manual for more details on Modular or Amphenol connections.
The Strata CIX200 supports two different types of optional extenders for the other CIX interface
cards, depending upon the type of connectors that exist on the card.

Extenders

The CIX system uses two types of extenders. One type is connected between the interface card and
the cabinet backplane. This type of extender brings the interface connectors to the front of the
cabinet. The correct front plate for the interface card is packaged with the extender. These
extenders are optional.
The second type of extender plugs into the interface card front connector and presents different
connectors to the front plate. Some of this type are optional, such as the extender that connects to
the 25-pair Amphenol connector on the station card and presents eight or 16 modular connectors to
the front panel. Refer to
Power Failure Transfer Unit (LPFU1A)
The optional 8-circuit LPFU card when used with the RCOU and RSTU cards can automatically
connect the CO line circuits to the Single Line Telephones (SLT) when system power fails. The
LPFU card installs onto the CO line card as an extender, so it shares the same cabinet slot. The
RCOU card must be in the slot above.
