Cables you must provide
Ensure that you have obtained the telephone and Ethernet cables for your
network. These cables are not supplied in the Remote Gateway 9150 unit
package.
The cables must meet the following requirements:
!
telephone cable: One end of the cable must provide a male 50-pin
connector. (This end connects to the Remote Gateway 9150 unit.)
Ensure the other end of the cable matches the connectors needed to connect
to the telephones or trunks. (For example, if you are using a BIX block to
establish the telephone connections, the wires inside must be exposed.)
Notes:
— Two telephone cables are required, depending on how many telephones
and trunks are installed. (Each telephone cable provides support for up
to 16 digital telephones and two ISDN BRI lines providing two
B-channels each. The Telco 1 cable also provides support for one analog
station such as a fax machine.)
Nortel recommends that you use straight-through Amphenol cables
instead of side-entry Amphenol cables. (Refer to “Attaching the cables
to Remote Gateway 9150 unit” on page 108.)
— Digital telephones must be located no farther than 1230.7 meters (4000
feet) from the Remote Gateway 9150 unit.
