To connect the Mediant 1000 FXS / FXO interfaces:
Using the RJ-11 connectors (refer to the figure below for connector pinouts), connect
the Mediant 1000 to the required telephone interfaces:
•
FXS: connect the Mediant 1000 FXS module's ports to fax machines, modems,

Cabling the Analog Lifeline Phone
The gateway's FXS modules provide a Lifeline phone connection on Port 1.
Note:
The Lifeline provides a wired analog POTS phone connection to any PSTN or PBX FXS
port when there is no power, or when the network connection fails. Therefore, you can use
the Lifeline phone even when the Mediant 1000 is not powered on or not connected to the
network.
The Lifeline splitter connects pins 1 and 4 to another source of an FXS port, and pins 2 and
3 to the POTS phone (refer to the Lifeline pinout in the figure below).
Version 5.2
Figure 3-5: RJ-11 Connector Pinouts
Ensure that FXS and FXO ports are connected to the correct external
devices, otherwise damage to the Mediant 1000 can occur.
Only the Mediant 1000 FXS modules support analog Lifeline.
