1. Attach the Trunk cable (of at least 26 AWG UTP) with a 50-pin male Telco connector
to the 50-pin female Telco connector labeled Trunks 18 on the Mediant 2000 Rear
Transition Module (RTM).
2. Connect the other end of the Trunk cable to the PBX/PSTN switch.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other Trunk cable, but this time connect it to the
connector labeled Trunks 916.
The 50-pin male Telco cable connector must be wired according to the pinout in the table
