Chapter 3: Installation
Connect to Trunk Interface - PSTN
Adjacent port pairs (i.e., 1/2, 3/4, etc.) are configured by default to connect to each other (power off bypass)
when the unit is turned off, or when the unit is in Offline mode. This is the preferred method when connecting
one of the lines to a PBX, and its adjacent pair to the PSTN. However, if you have adjacent port pairs that are
connected to smaller devices (i.e., both going to PSTN) in which you do not want the two ports to be con-
nected to each other in case of power off or offline, you should set the power off bypass = 0. Each pair of ports
(1/2, 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8) have their own online/offline and power off bypass control. See the Tenor Configuration
Manager online help or the Command Line Interface (CLI) guide for specific configuration information.
Figure 3-5 Connect to Trunk Interface
1. Plug one end of the straight through RJ-45 cable into one of the eight network ports on the front of the unit.
The cable from Quintum would be the green RJ-45 cable. See Chapter 2: Hardware Components for cable
pinouts if you are making your own cables, or if you wish to attach the table to a punch down block.
2. Connect the other end of the RJ-45 straight cable to the patch panel which houses your telephone lines.
NOTE: If you are connecting to an external CSU, ensure the Digital Interface is configured as short haul (or
DSX-1), otherwise, configure the Digital Interface to DS-1 to enable the built-in CSU via Com-
mand Line Interface (CLI). See Chapter 4: Getting Started: Tenor Configuration Manager/Tenor
Monitor.
NOTE: Connecting to the patch panel may require trained telephone personnel.
