VOCIA TELEPHONE PAGING ADAPTER (POTS-1) REAR PANEL

Network
The POTS-1 is designed to be used in a single Vocia World and utilizes the Vocia CobraNet LAN to communicate with the rest of the Vocia system.

The unit has two monitored RJ-45 Ethernet network connectors that allow a redundant connection to be utilized if required. The primary
connection will always have priority over the secondary connection. Monitoring of the secondary connection can be disabled in Vocia software.

The RJ-45 connectors use two LEDs to indicate Ethernet link and network activity (see table below).

The maximum distance between any unit and an Ethernet switch is 328 feet (100 meters) when using copper cabling. Additional Ethernet
switches and/or fiber-optic cable can be used to further extend distances between units on a network. Please note that CobraNet limits
network extensions to seven hops (one-way transmissions) within a network.

POTS Connections
A Line and Set RJ-11 connection is provided per telephone line. These are wired in parallel and allow a local handset to be used on the Set line.
The pin listing below applies to both the Line and Set connectors.
