If You Are Connecting to a PBX

Some PBXs require a crossover cable.

The PBX must provide the clock signal and act as the network
side for layers 1, 2, and 3.

QSIG signaling (PSS1) is not supported. However, a PRI
network interface module can be connected to a PISN through a
gateway using ETSI DSS1 signaling.

Cables Used with the PRI Network Interface Module

The following cables may be used with the PRI network interface
module.

Peripheral link cable:

The peripheral link cable does not fit into

a standard RJ-45 network port. You can, however, use it to
connect any Polycom network interface module to the system.

PBX crossover cable:

An RJ-45 crossover cable may be required

when connecting the PRI network interface module to a PBX or
other third-party network access device.

PRI Cable extension

: You can purchase a cable adapter kit to

extend the distance between your system and the PRI network
interface module.

75

coaxial adapter:

The PRI E1 line termination is 120

. In

some areas, however, the E1 network connection is via a 75

coaxial cable. The PRI network interface module does not
directly support this, but you can obtain passive adapter
devices from various vendors.
