CHAPTER5 Cabling the Device
Mediant 1000 Gateway & E-SBC | Hardware Installation Manual
➢ To connect to the LAN:
1. Connect one end of a straight-through RJ-45 Ethernet Cat 5/5e cable to the active LAN port
on the CRMX module or optional SWX module.
Figure 5-4: Connecting to LAN
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the LAN.
3. For 1+1 LAN protection, repeat steps 1 and 2 for the standby port, but connect it to
another network (in the same subnet).
If you are implementing LAN port-pair redundancy, make sure that each port in the
Ethernet Group is connected to a different network (in the same subnet).
Analog Interfaces
This section describes the cabling procedures for analog interfaces.
Connecting to FXS Interfaces
This section describes how to connect the FXS interfaces to FXS equipment such as fax
machines, modems, and plain old telephone system (POTS) telephones. FXS cabling can be
routed indoors or outdoors, depending on the FXS module used (see FXS Module ).
● FXS modules for indoor cabling: The FXS port interface cabling must be routed
only indoors and must not exit the building.
● Make sure that FXS ports are connected to the appropriate external devices;
otherwise, damage to the device may occur.
(French) Avertissements:
● FXS module intérieur: Le câblage de l’interface du port FXS doit être acheminé
uniquement en intérieur et ne doit pas sortir du bâtiment.
