3.2.5.2  Cabling the MP-11x Lifeline 
The Lifeline (connected to port #1) provides a wired analog POTS phone connection to any PSTN 
or PBX FXS port when there is no power, or the when network connection fails. Users can 
therefore use the Lifeline phone even when the MP-11x is not powered on or not connected to 
the network. 
The Lifeline’s Splitter connects pins #1 and #4 to another source of an FXS port, and pins #2 and 
#3 to the POTS phone. Refer to the Lifeline Splitter pinout in Figure 
 3-18.
