Connecting the analog-line interface cards

This topic provides the basic information you need to connect the analog-line interface cards installed in the Message Networking system to the switch. Analog-line interface cards are required on Message Networking systems using analog.

The Message Networking system supports a maximum of three analog-line interface cards. Each card has four RJ-11 jacks on its bracket (see Back view of platform for reference); each RJ-11 jack supports one voice channel. The analog-line voice cards are installed from bottom to top beginning in slot 4 (the first three are blank) and are numbered as follows:

  • The first installed board is in slot 4 (fourth slot from the bottom). The board's RJ-11 jacks support ports 1 through 4, numbered from right to left, which correspond to channels 0 to 3.
  • The second installed board is in slot 5 (fifth slot from the bottom). The board's RJ-11 jacks support ports 5 through 8, numbered from right to left, which correspond to channels 4 to 7.
  • The third installed board is in slot 6 (sixth slot from the bottom). The board's RJ-11 jacks support ports 9 through 12, numbered from right to left, which correspond to channels 8 to 11.

Warning! Damage from electrostatic discharge is possible. See Protecting against ESD damage for more information.

To connect the analog-line interface cards to the switch:

  1. Plug a telephone cable into each RJ-11 jack on the first card.
  2. Plug the other end of each telephone cable into the RJ-11 interface adapter from the switch wall field, circuit pack, or demarcation connector.
  3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each installed card.
