14.2 PSTN Wiring
Connections are made to the terminals on the end station PCB:
A Telephone line output for connection to analogue PSTN telephone line
B Telephone line output for connection to analogue PSTN telephone line
A-1 Telephone line output for connection to other telecom equipment
B-1 Telephone line output for connection to other telecom equipment
Telecom ground
Before making these connections, all power must be disconnected from the system.
Note: The Telecom Ground terminal (TE) should ALWAYS be connected to earth in order to
maximise the effectiveness of the transient voltage protection on the unit.
Note that the approvals standard TBR21 clause 4.2 requires to be made via an RJ11 plug and socket.
The cable must be fed into the end station housing through the hole provided, protected by the grommet
supplied, and secured in place with the cable tie, thus:
