3.4.3  Connecting MP-124 to FXS Interfaces 
The MP-124 interfaces with the analog telephone interfaces by connecting to a main 
distribution frame (MDF), using a 50-pin Telco cable. 
 
 
MP-124 Safety Notice 
To protect against electrical shock and fire, use a 26 AWG min wire to connect 
analog FXS lines to the 50-pin Telco connector. 
 
Warning: To reduce noise interference, use a twisted pair Octopus cable that is 
terminated on a metal-hooded 50-pin Telco connector. 
 
  To connect MP-124 to FXS telephone interfaces: 
1.  Wire the 50-pin Telco connectors according to the pinouts in the table below:
