3.1.3.2 Cabling the Lifeline Phone
The Lifeline provides a wired analog POTS phone connection to any PSTN or PBX FXS port
when there is no power, or when the network connection fails. Users can therefore use the
Lifeline phone even when the MP-1xx is not powered on or not connected to the network. With
the MP-108/FXS and MP-104/FXS the Lifeline connection is provided on port #4 (refer to Figure
3-11). With the MP-102/FXS the Lifeline connection is provided on port #2.
Note: The MP-124 and MP-10x/FXO do not support the Lifeline.
The Lifeline’s Splitter connects pins #1 and #4 to another source of an FXS port, and pins #2 and
#3 to the POTS phone. Refer to the Lifeline Splitter pinout in Figure
3-10.
