Figure 2-7. Connecting the GX-Series to the PSTN (Incoming Telephone Line)
Connect the on-board Telecom Module to the PSTN as shown in the diagram.
Notes: 1. Terminals 1 and 2 must be hard-wired to LINE A (Tip) and B (Ring) terminals on the GX-Series PCB.
The connection is polarity independent.
2. It is strongly recommended that the GX-Series panel is the only device on the line.
3. Audio module not evaluated by UL.
Note: If a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) is used, a suitable filter must be used for the phone line.
Line Monitoring
Under normal idle state conditions, the on-board Telecom Module monitors the PSTN line.

at: 200ms ON/200ms OFF. When the telephone line fail condition clears this flashing LED will then go OFF.
