Connecting to BRI Lines
The procedure below describes how to connect to BRI lines.
To protect against electrical shock and fire, use a 26 AWG min. wire to connect the BRI ports to the PSTN.
Avertissements: Pour vous protéger contre l’électrocution et le feu, utilisez un fil de 26 AWG au minimum pour connecter le port BRI au PSTN.
The BRI module is a separate orderable item. This section is applicable only if your device is installed with such a module.
Cabling specifications:
| ■ | Cable: 26 AWG min. |
| ■ | Connector: RJ-45 |
| ■ | Connector Pinouts: A BRI port can be configured either as TE (Termination Equipment/user side) or NT (Network Termination/network side). The connector pinouts vary according to the configuration, as shown below: |
RJ-45 Connector Pinouts for BRI
When configured as NT, the BRI port drives a nominal voltage of 38 V with limited current supply of up to 100 mA. The voltage is of Power Source 1 type (line voltage). Power Source 2 is optional.
| ➢ | To connect to BRI lines: |
| 1. | Connect the RJ-45 connector on one end of the cable to the port on the device's BRI module. |
