5.5 Connecting the Analog Lifeline Phone
The device supports an analog (FXS) Lifeline phone feature, whereby upon a power outage
or IP network connectivity loss, IP calls are re-routed to the PSTN.
The analog Lifeline is provided by Port I on an FXS module. This port connects to the
POTS phone and the PSTN or PBX, using a splitter cable. The splitter cable connects pins
1 and 4 to another source of an FXS port, and pins 2 and 3 to the POTS phone, as shown
in the figure below:

Notes:
• Analog Lifeline is supported only on FXS modules.
• An analog Lifeline can be setup for each FXS module installed in the
chassis.
• The scenarios (i.e., power outage and/or IP network loss) upon which
Lifeline is triggered is configured by the LifeLineType parameter. For
more information, refer to the User's Manual.
 To cable the analog Lifeline:
1. Connect the Lifeline Splitter (supplied) to Port I on an FXS module.
2. Connect the Lifeline POTS phone to Port A on the Lifeline Splitter.
3. Connect an analog PSTN line to Port B on the Lifeline Splitter.
