The 2012 NSL Relay Board plugs into the backplane boards of the NSL units.
There may be up to eight relay boards in each backplane board (to a maximum of
128 relay boards for 16 NSL backplane boards).
In each NSL backplane the relay boards are numbered 1 to 8, starting from the
bottom of the backplane and going to the top. Each relay board provides 12
resident telephone lines connections, for a maximum of 1536 telephone lines per
system.
Connections are made via the CA-71A BIX Block or RJ-71C Punch Down Block
Wiring Configuration as follows:
CA-71A BIX Block. The CA-71A (for Canada) wiring configurations of BIX
and Punch Down Block are shown in figure 50 and table 5.
RJ-71C Punch Down Block. The RJ-71C (for U.S.A.) wiring configurations of
BIX and Punch Down Block are shown in figure 51 and table 6.
Normally, the required blocks are installed by the telephone company. Each
block serves up to 12 telephone lines.
The 50-pin amphenol connector on the BIX block connects to the 2012 relay card
using the standard 9106 cable.
