IES-2000/3000 User’s Guide
Hardware Overview 3-11
Table 3-16 MDF (Main Distribution Frame) Wiring
Connect wiring to end-user equipment to the lower ports of an MDF and connect wiring from the telephone
company to the upper ports of an MDF (see the previous figure).
Some MDFs have surge protection circuitry built in between the two banks; thus, do not connect telephone wires
from the telephone company directly to your IES.
Use a punch-down tool to seat telephone lines into MDF blocks.
Multiple upper and lower MDF port connections are shown as one line in the following figures.
3.4.3 Typical Scenarios
Your existing telephone wiring usually depends on your region. We describe three typical installation scenarios
here.
Installation Scenario A
You want to install the IES in an environment where there are no previously installed MDFs. There is no phone
service and you want to install the IES for data-access only. No connection from the Telco-50 CO connector is
necessary.
