Hardware Installation Manual 5. Cabling MP-11x

5 Cabling MP-11x
This section describes the MP-11x cabling procedures:

 To cable MP-11x:
 Power Surge Protection and Grounding – see 'Power Surge Protection and Grounding'
on page 23
 Connecting to the Ethernet network – see 'Connecting MP-11x to the Network' on
page 25
 Connecting to FXS/FXO devices – see 'Connecting MP-11x to FXS/FXO Devices' on
page 26
 Cabling the FXS Lifeline – see 'Cabling MP-11x FXS Lifeline' on page 29
 Serial connection to a computer – see 'Connecting MP-11x RS-232 Port to a PC' on
page 31
 Connecting to the power supply – see 'Connecting MP-11x to Power' on page 32

5.1 Power Surge Protection and Grounding

Lightning is the transient passage of electrical current between a cloud and the surface of
the earth. Part of the lightning current can be carried inside a building from electrical lines
and analog telephone lines located outside. This direct injection of lightning current inside a
building can cause significant damage to electronic circuits and equipment.
To protect MP-11x from these power surges, it must be connected to an external lightning
protector. You must use a lightning protector of the type CIRCA 4B3S-75 manufactured by
CircaTelecom (http://www.circatelecom.com). The connection must be made using the
terminal fixture of the type CIRCA 2625QC/QC or 26100QC/QC.
This fixture must be connected alongside or within the Main Distribution Frame (MDF). You
must connect the grounding connection of this electrical cabinet to the grounding bus of the
electrical circuit board, using AWG wires of at least 10mm2 and maximum length of 3
meters. MP-11x must be connected to the power surge protector using minimum 26-AWG
wire thickness.

Analog Gateways 23 MP-11x

 MP-11x

Warnings:
• Ensure that you connect MP-11x to an electrical socket outlet that provides
protective earthing (grounding). Prior to connecting power, refer to the Regulatory
Information on AudioCodes Web site.
√ Finland: "Laite on liltettava suojamaadoituskoskettimilla varustettuun
pistorasiaan."
√ Norway: "Apparatet rna tilkoples jordet stikkontakt."
√ Sweden: "Apparaten skall anslutas till jordat uttag."
• MP-11x is immune against power surge levels of up to 1 Kilovolts (KV) as required
by the following standards: IEC 61000-4-5, EN 55024, and EN 300386.
• Power surges above protection levels as required by EN 55024/EN 300386 may
cause damage to MP-11x.
• The telecommunication site must comply with ETS 300-253 “Earthing and Bonding
of Telecommunication Equipment in Telecommunication Centers”.
• MP-11x provides only Secondary Protection against power surges. In deployments
where the telephone lines are installed outside, you must install AudioCodes’
approved surge protector (Circa model 4B3S-75) as the primary protection against
lightning and other over voltages phenomena’s which might couple the 2-wire.
Only lightning protectors recommended by AudioCodes must be used. Failing to
install Circa primary surge protectors, failing to comply with the grounding
instructions or any other installation instructions, may cause permanent damage to
MP-11x. When done correctly, the installation will meet ITU-T K.21 basic level.
• As most of the installation is the responsibility of the customer, AudioCodes can
assume responsibility for damage only if the customer can establish that MP-11x
does not comply with the standards specified above (and MP-11x is within the
hardware warranty period).

5.3 Connecting MP-11x to FXS Interfaces

The procedure below describes how to cable the MP-11x FXS interfaces.

Warnings:
• Make sure that you connect FXS ports only to analog telephones; otherwise,
damage to MP-11x may occur.
• FXS ports are considered TNV-3
• If SRTP is enabled, the device "borrows" resources (DSPs) for this functionality
from other ports, making these ports unavailable for calls:
√ MP-112: Not applicable - SRTP does not affect channel capacity.
√ MP-114: Port 4 is unavailable for calls.
√ MP-118: Ports 7 and 8 are unavailable for calls.

Note: FXS (Foreign Exchange Station) is the interface replacing the Exchange (i.e.,
the CO or the PBX) and connects to analog telephones, dial-up modems, and fax
machines. The FXS is designed to supply line voltage and ringing current to these
telephone devices. An FXS VoIP device interfaces between the analog telephone
devices and the Internet.

Cable specifications:
 Cable: Standard two-wire telephone cord
 Connector: RJ-11
 Connector Pinouts:
Figure 5-4: RJ-11 Connector Pinouts for FXS Interface

Hardware Installation Manual 5. Cabling MP-11x

5.4 Connecting MP-11x to FXO Interfaces

The procedure below describes how to cable the MP-11x FXO interfaces.

Warnings for FXO Port Interfaces:

• The device does not include primary telecom protection! Additional protection
(usually a 350V 3-pin Gas Arrestor as described in ITU-T K.44) must be provided
at the entry point of the telecom wires into the building (usually on the main
distribution frame or MDF), in conjunction with proper grounding. If primary
protection is not implemented, permanent damage to the device may occur due to
external power surges and/or lightning over the telecom lines.
• Ensure that you connect FXO ports only to CO/PBX lines; otherwise, damage to
the device may occur.
• To protect against electrical shock and fire, use a 26 AWG minimum wire to
connect FXO ports to the PSTN.
• FXO ports are considered TNV-3.

Notes:
• If SRTP is enabled, the device "borrows" resources (DSPs) for this functionality
from other ports, making these ports unavailable for calls:
√ MP-114: Port 4 is unavailable for calls
√ MP-118: Ports 7 and 8 are unavailable for calls
• FXO (Foreign Exchange Office) is the interface replacing the analog telephone
and connects to a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) line from the
Central Office (CO) or to a Private Branch Exchange (PBX). The FXO is designed
to receive line voltage and ringing current, supplied from the CO or the PBX (just
like an analog telephone). An FXO VoIP device interfaces between the CO/PBX
line and the Internet.

Cable specifications:
 Cable: Standard two-wire telephone cord

5.5 Connecting MP-11x to Analog FXS Lifeline Phone

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 MP-11x is not powered or not connected to the network.
The Lifeline feature is implemented as follows, depending on FXO/FXS support:
 For devices providing only FXS ports: A single Lifeline connected to Port #1 using a
splitter (not supplied) is available.
 For devices providing FXS and FXO ports: A splitter is not required - all FXS ports
are automatically connected to corresponding FXO ports (i.e., FXS Port #1 to FXO
Port #5, FXS Port #2 to FXO Port #6, and so on).
 For devices providing only FXO ports: A Lifeline is not available.

Notes:
• The Lifeline feature is not supported by MP-112.
• The use of the Lifeline upon network failure can be disabled using the
LifeLineType ini file parameter (described in the User's Manual).

The Lifeline’s splitter connects pins #1 and #4 to another source of an FXS port, and pins
#2 and #3 to the POTS (FXS) phone.
Cable specifications:
 Cable: Splitter cable with an RJ-11 connector on one end and two RJ-11 jacks on the
other end
 Connector: RJ-11
 Connector Pinouts:
