Connecting a Tip/Ring Circuit Card

Tip/ring circuit cards use two 6-pin conductor modular cords. These cords provide three lines for telephone hook-up.

You can connect tip/ring circuit cards to telephone lines in several ways, depending on your system:

• Direct cable connection from the circuit card to the telephone line
  (for use with the MAP/5P and MAP/40P)
• Cable connection from the circuit card through a line splitter or adapter
  and then to the telephone line
• Cable connection using a tip/ring distribution panel to the telephone line
  (for use with the MAP/100P)

Direct Cable Connection

When you use a two-conductor modular cord to make a direct connection from either of the two tip/ring circuit card jacks to the telephone line, only line 1 or line 4 of the three telephone lines is connected.

See Pinouts for Tip/Ring Circuit Card for more information.

Cable Connection Using an Adapter

Adapters or line splitters enable you to use multiple channels in modular cords. There are two types of adapters:

• 855A (for use with the MAP/5P and MAP/40P)
• 356B (for use with the MAP/40P and MAP/100P)

855A Adapter

If you use the 855A adapter to connect the tip/ring circuit card to the telephone line, you can use all three channels in the 6-pin-conductor modular cord.

Cable Connection Using a Tip/Ring Distribution Panel

You can use a tip/ring distribution panel on the MAP/100P.

The distribution panel is located on the back of the unit. This panel provides a simplified wiring scheme for connecting to the local customer-premise equipment or building connecting block provided by the central office. This panel allows you to connect a maximum of 42 channels (up to seven tip/ring circuit cards).

 

Note: The MAP/40P ships with a 356B adapter that connects the tip/ring circuit card to the telephone line.

Connecting a Tip/Ring Distribution Panel to a MAP/100P

The MAP/100P system is shipped with a tip/ring distribution panel. This panel is located on the back of the chassis. This panel provides a simplified wiring scheme for connecting to the local customer-premise equipment or building connecting block provided by the central office. You can connect up to 48 channels using this panel.

Click to view an example of the MAP/100P Tip/Ring Distribution Panel – Deskside Configuration or the 855A Adapter with a Tip/Ring Circuit Card

To connect the tip/ring distribution panel:

1. Plug the 18inch (46-centimeter), 6pin modular cords from the tip/ring circuit cards into the 356B adapters. Each adapter can accommodate eight modular cords.
2. Using the connector provided, attach the 25pair, high-density cable to the 356B adapter.
3. Snap the 356B adapters into the adapter bracket. Ensure that the modular cords are inside the adapter bracket.
    
   

   Note: The 356B adapters can be removed by spreading the bracket sides apart.


 


In a deskside configuration, the 25pair, high-density cables dress down from the adapter brackets. In a rack-mounted configuration, the cables dress across each other to either side of the MAP/100P. In the rack-mounted configuration, the cables must be tied back and up to the rear of the cabinet to reduce connector stress.

4. Connect the grounding wire and strap to the top of the adapter bracket.
5. Secure the 25-pin cable connector to the 356B adapter using the cable ties provided with the adapter kit.

Different cable lengths are available. See Ordering Cables to find out which cables are available for the MAP/100P.

See Pinouts for Tip/Ring Circuit Cards if you need wiring and pinout connections for the tip/ring distribution hardware.

Connecting Asynchronous Devices

There are two ways to connect the system to a terminal, modem, or other DTE or DCE devices through an asynchronous link:

• Using asynchronous port COM1. COM1 is located on the CPU circuit card for MAP/40P and MAP/100P systems, and on the rear of the MAP/5P system.
• Using the additional asynchronous ports on the optional serial interface circuit card.


 


Note: All Avaya Intuity systems provide two asynchronous ports, COM1 and COM2. However, COM2 is reserved for Avaya remote maintenance and is not available to use for asynchronous connections.

Using COM1

A 9pin D subminiature male connector is provided on the back of the system for COM1. This connector connects internally to the CPU. See Pinouts for Asynchronous Connections if you need pinout information for the COM1 connector.

 

Note: Networking uses the ACCX circuit card, not COM1. For more information on the ACCX circuit card, see Connecting the ACCX Circuit Card.

Using the Super Serial Circuit Card

The optional serial interface circuit card provides eight additional asynchronous ports for connecting to modems, terminals, or switch integration devices.

Each serial interface circuit card is shipped with an octopus cable that connects to the circuit card faceplate and branches out into eight modular jacks. These jacks connect to two types of 25-pin D subminiature adapters. See Super Serial Interface Circuit Card Faceplate.

Use the following adapters to connect peripheral devices to your system:

• A terminal/printer adapter for connection to terminals, printers, or other DTE devices
• A modem adapter for connection to modems or other DCE devices


 


Note: These are special adapters that are customized for use with the serial interface circuit card.

Follow the instructions provided with the devices you are installing for connection and setup.

A 3-foot (1-meter) octopus cable is provided with the digital station interface circuit card. Use the cable to connect from the customer station jacks.

 

Note: If customers use ROLM or Northern Telecom equipment, their station jacks are RJ-11, not RJ-45. You must use in-line adapters to convert the RJ-11 to RJ-45 to connect to their equipment.

See Intuity Messaging Solutions Getting Connected, 585-313-703, for more information on how to make cable connections from the digital station interface circuit card.

Connecting the ACCX Circuit Card

The Avaya Intuity system supports up to eight networking channels through digital and analog remote connections from the ACCX circuit card using DCP and RS232 links, respectively. See ACCX Circuit Card Faceplate.

The following table shows the maximum number of ACCX circuit cards supported per system.
 

Table: ACCX Circuit Cards Per System

Avaya Intuity System	Number of ACCX Circuit Cards Supported
MAP/5P	1
MAP/40P	2
MAP/100P	3

Each ACCX circuit card terminates four data channels in one of the following combinations:

• Two DCP lines, each providing two Ichannels. Depending on the version of the switch to which you are connecting, you may only be able to use one of the two Ichannels of each DCP circuit:
• System 75 R1V3, DEFINITY G1 R1V4, and DEFINITY G3i, G3s, or G3vs Version 1 support the use of one Ichannel only.
• System 85, DEFINITY G2, and DEFINITY G3i, G3s, and G3vs Version 2 support the use of both of the Ichannels.


 


Note: For DEFINITY G3i, G3s, and G3vs, this option must be installed and administered on the switch before you perform Avaya Intuity system administration.

• Four RS232 ports
• One DCP line (two Ichannels) and two RS232 ports

A breakout box and a cable are provided with each ACCX circuit card. Use the cable to connect from the circuit card to the breakout box. The RS232 line then connects through a modem to the customer connecting block. The DCP line connects directly to the block.

See RS-232 Connections on a Breakout Box. See DCP Connections on a Breakout Box.

Attach the breakout box to the wall. The cable length allows placement up to 10 feet (3�meters) away from the system.

See Pinouts for Connections from the ACCX Circuit Card for pinout and signal information for RS232 and DCP connections.

See Intuity Messaging Solutions Getting Connected, 585-313-703, for more information on how to make cable connections from the ACCX circuit card.

Connecting the LAN Circuit Card

The LAN circuit card provides the connection to the customer's LAN. See LAN Circuit Card.

The type of cable you use to connect the LAN circuit card to the customer's LAN depends on the connection already in use for the LAN.

This cable connection can be one of three types:

• Thin Ethernet (BNC)
• Thick Ethernet (AUI)
• 8-pin modular connector (Tbase or twisted pair)


 


Do not cable the LAN circuit card before you power up. Doing so can disturb the customer's existing LAN. See Administering and Testing TCP/IP LAN Connectivity for information on when and how to cable the LAN circuit card.

Connecting the SSP Circuit Card

The speech and signal processor (SSP) circuit card (AYC43) provides speech support for various speech technologies. See SSP Circuit Card Faceplate.

The SSP circuit card must be used with at least one tip/ring circuit card. One SSP circuit card can be installed in MAP/40P and MAP/100P systems.

 

Note: No external cabling is required for the SSP circuit card.
