Connecting T1M or T1M-2 Modules between Network Nodes
Connecting T1M or T1M-2 Modules between Network Nodes
T1M or T1M-2 modules are used for connecting system nodes in a network. Each network span
requires two T1M or T1M-2 modules, one for each end of the span. Point to point, clear channel
T1 spans are used to connect the nodes. For each network span, order a clear channel, point to
point T1 or E1 span from the service provider. Do not order PRI service, even though you will be
connecting to T1M or T1M-2 modules.
T1M or T1M-2 modules can be used to connect two non-networking systems together using
customer-provided cable. The systems may be located in separate buildings and the cabling
between them may be as long as 6000 ft (1800 m), without repeaters.
When connecting two systems together, the line cord (or cabling) between the two T1M or T1M-
2 modules must be wired so that the receive pair (tip 1 in and ring 1 in) on each module is
connected to the transmit pair (tip out and ring out) on the other module, as shown in
13. For information about programming various types of T1M or T1M-2 installations, refer to the
Inter-Tel 5000 Features and Programming Guide (part no: 580.8006).
