Connecting Lines and Extensions 2
If extensions are not wired to any modular jacks, call a qualified service technician.
Use the following procedure to connect analog lines and extensions:
1. Test for a dial tone at the network interface jacks before connecting outside lines to the
control unit. For the test, connect a tip/ring telephone to the first network interface jack.
a. Lift the handset and listen for a dial tone. (If there is no dial tone, contact your local
telephone company before continuing.)
b. Repeat for each network interface jack.
2. Connect line cords to the line jacks on the
modules. Start at the top with the line jacks on
the processor module, and then move to the
leftmost module. Fill each module before
moving to the next module to the right
(see Figure 2-18).
3. Route each cord through the wire manager on
the front of the module (see Figure 2-18).
