5.3.2 Connecting FXS Interfaces Directly to MDF
If you are using your own third-party MDF, follow the instructions below for connecting the
FXS analog equipment to the device directly through the MDF.
Warning: To reduce noise interference, use a twisted pair Octopus cable that is
terminated on a metal-hooded 50-pin Telco connector.
ļ To connect FXS interfaces directly to the MDF:
1. Wire the 50-pin Telco connectors according to the pinouts in Table 5-1.
2. Connect the wire-pairs at the other end of the cable to a male 50-pin Telco connector
(not supplied).
3. Insert and fasten the male connector to the female 50-pin Telco connector on the
device's rear panel (labeled ANALOG FXS LINES 1-24).
