Emerald ICE Installation & Hardware Reference Manual
SMDR/SMDA output device(s) must be placed within 50 feet (15 meters) of the
KSU (limited by RS‐232C standard wiring practices).
The computing equipment should be located in a climate‐controlled room
adhering to the Environmental Specifications (see: "Specifications").
When installing the KSU and station instruments, allow a sufficient margin
for error in case of air conditioning failure, routine maintenance, plant
shutdown, etc. As a general rule, if conditions are suitable for office
personnel, they are also suitable for the KSU computing device and terminal
equipment operation. A properly controlled environment will help to extend
the operating life of the equipment.
Product Safety Specification Governing Telephone Equipment - UL 1459
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically
designed for wet locations.
• Never touch non‐insulated telephone wires or terminals unless the tele‐
phone line has been disconnected at the network's interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Tools and Supplies
• Assemble the correct supplies and tools to install the Emerald ICE as it is
intended.
• Use UTP (Unshielded, Twisted‐Pair) three or four pair cable to run from the
MDF (Main Distribution Frame) to all station terminals (EKT, DSS Consoles
and analog devices).
• Digital terminals only need one twisted pair to operate. (Additional pairs are
always recommended to allow for future potential uses e.g. Facsimile
machines and modems.)
• Six conductor modular jack assemblies for all station terminals.
• Standard punch‐down terminal block(s) (66Ml‐50 type) as required.
• Twenty‐five (25) pair UTP cable fitted with male gender AMP‐type connec‐
tors at one end (typically referred to as "pig‐tails"). The quantity of these
cables is determined by the equipment installed. The basic configuration
requires two 25‐pair cables.
• AC voltage surge/spike protector.
• Standard telephone hand tools and mounting hardware for the KSU(s), MDF
backboard, punch‐down terminal block(s), modular jack assemblies, etc.
