3.6 Telephone Cable
A telephone cable is required if the Portal is equipped with the “Datatran” dial-up credit option.
Each end of the cable should be terminated with RJ - 11 modular phone plug as follows:
1. Grasp the telephone cable and measure a length sufficient to route the cable to
the Dataran. (Note: the Datatran is typically shipped after the Portal for
installation on site. Refer to Appendix B for associated installation instructions
and location of the phone line connection.
2. Cut and strip back the exterior cable jacket so that the telephone connector can
be crimped onto the end. There will be four wires exposed (do not strip the
insulation on the individual wires).
3. Using the crimping tool, proceed to make a solid connection between the RJ-11
connector (not included) and the conductors of the phone cable. Any unused
conductors should be trimmed back with a pair of diagonal cutters so that they
are even with the outer insulation.
4. Terminate the other end of the cable in the same manner. Note that the wires
must be installed into each connector in the same order.
The telephone cable should be connected to the Datatran and phone service
receptacle (in the facility). In applications where the telephone line will also be used
for remote access and notifications, a phone line splitter will need to be installed in the
Portal. The splitter should have (3) female receptacles (as shown in Figure 17 ).
Two short patch cables will be needed to connect the Datatran and the Portal’s Data
modem to the phone splitter. The Data Modem connection is on the edge of carrier
board as shown in Figure 18.
