T1/E1 Data Line Grounding
T1/E1 data line can be floating or grounded. When floating, neither conductor of the data line cable pair is
connected to ground. Headers P20 and P21 control the grounding of the T1/E1 lines. Grounding the
T1/E1 lines may reduce emissions if it becomes an installation concern. Refer to Figure 6 for the location
of P20 and P21 on the Main PCBA and Table 21 below for setting details.
