10 I NSTALLATION
Network
Connection The network side of the unit is referred to as the network interface. This interface
contains an ALBO (automatic line build out) that allows the unit to be located a
substantial distance away from the telco network interface with a receive signal
level down to -27 decibels.
The network interface LBO level should be set as instructed in Line Build Out on
page 19. Maximum suggested cable lengths for the connection from the unit to the
network are listed in the following table. Calculations are based on a cable
temperature of 70
°
F, 0.083-
µ
F/mile capacitance, a 27-dB loss, and a 100-
Ω
,
non-loaded, twisted pair cable. PIC refers to Plastic Insulated Cable.
The network physical interface is a standard RJ-48C connector with the pinouts
assignments shown in Table 2-3.
Network
Disconnection
In accordance with FCC Rules, Part 68.218 (b), the user must notify the telephone
company before disconnecting the unit.
Alarm
Connection Alarm conditions detected by the unit are conveyed at the isolated Alarm Relay
output contacts on the rear panel. NC (Normally Closed) and NO (Normally Open)
refer to the alarm contact’s relationship to C (Common) under a no-alarms
condition.
Alarm connections are made to the terminal strip using a 22 -gauge stranded, or
similar wire. The Normally Closed alarm connects to NC & C. The Normally
Open alarm connects to NO & C. Contacts are rated at 0.6 amperes AC or 2.0
amperes DC. Alarm parameters are discussed on page 55.
External Clock
Connection If the unit is to receive its timing source from a user-supplied clock other than the
DTE or T1 lines, the Station Clock input must be connected on the rear panel.
This input is designed to accept TTL or bipolar signal levels. The station clock is
commonly available as a 64 kHz, bipolar RTZ signal referred to as a composite
clock.
