Connect to Phone/FXS Interface
Since there are many different PBX devices, keys systems, fax machines and phones you can con-
nect to the Tenor AX, the instructions which follow explain the general procedure for connecting an
external device to the Phone/FXS port through the 50-pin Telco connector. Use the phone/FXS ports
for on-premise wiring only.
A double ended Telco cable connects to PBXs or phone systems that are equipped with the appropri-
ate 50-pin Telco interface. An un-terminated cable can be used with a break out box or another type
of termination device specific to your needs. See
Chapter 2: Hardware Components for the 50-pin con-
nector pinouts you can use to acquire another cable or adaptor that may be required to connect to the
specific external device (i.e., PBX).
Figure 2-5 Connect to Phone/FXS port
Connect to Phone/FXS port as follows:
CAUTION: Connect the Phone/FXS ports to a telephone, fax machine, PBX or key system only.
Connecting to other devices/networks (i.e., telephone wall jack) will cause damage to
the unit.
The instructions below assume you are using a double ended 50-pin Telco cable. See Chapter 2:
Hardware Components for pinout information.
1. Plug one end of the 50-pin Telco cable into the port labeled Phone/FXS.
2. Insert the other end of the 50-pin Telco cable into the appropriate port on the PBX, key system, or another
device that connects interfaces, such as a break out box. For the PBX connection, see your PBX documen-
tation port requirements for connection specifics.
