Connecting the Analog Lifeline Phone

The device supports an analog Lifeline phone feature, whereby upon a power outage or IP
network connectivity loss, IP calls are re-routed to the PSTN. Therefore, this feature
guarantees call continuity.
Notes:
The analog Lifeline is provided only by Port I on an FXS module. This port connects to the
POTS phone and the PSTN or PBX, using a splitter cable. The splitter cable connects pins
1 and 4 to another source of an FXS port, and pins 2 and 3 to the POTS phone, as shown
in the figure below:

1. Connect the Lifeline Splitter (supplied) to Port I on an FXS module.
2. Connect the Lifeline POTS phone to Port A on the Lifeline Splitter.
3. Connect an analog PSTN line to Port B on the Lifeline Splitter.
