2.4 Cabling MP-11x
This section describes the MP-11x cabling procedures:
To cable MP-11x:

Connecting to the Ethernet network – see 'Connecting MP-11x to the Network' on
page 14

Connecting to FXS/FXO devices – see 'Connecting MP-11x to FXS/FXO Devices' on
page 15

Cabling the FXS Lifeline – see 'Cabling MP-11x FXS Lifeline' on page 17

Serial connection to a computer – see 'Connecting MP-11x RS-232 Port to a PC' on
page 18

Connecting to the power supply – see 'Connecting MP-11x to Power' on page 20
2.4.1 Connecting MP-11x to the Ethernet Network
The procedure below describes how to connect MP-11x directly to the Ethernet network.
This cabling requires a crossover Ethernet cable with the following RJ-45 connector
pinouts:
Figure 2-6: RJ-45 Connector Pinouts for Ethernet Connection
To connect MP-11x directly to the Ethernet network:
1. Connect one end of a crossover RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port (labeled
Ethernet).
Figure 2-7: Connecting to the Ethernet
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the network.

Version 6.6 15 April 2012
Hardware Installation Manual 2. MP-11x Hardware Installation
2.4.2 Connecting MP-11x to FXS Interfaces
The procedure below describes how to cable the MP-11x FXS interfaces.
Warnings:
•Ensure that you connect FXS ports only to analog telephones; otherwise,
damage to MP-11x may occur.
•FXS ports are considered TNV-3
Note: FXS (Foreign Exchange Station) is the interface replacing the Exchange (i.e.,
the CO or the PBX) and connects to analog telephones, dial-up modems, and
fax machines. The FXS is designed to supply line voltage and ringing current
to these telephone devices. An FXS VoIP device interfaces between the
analog telephone devices and the Internet.
This cabling requires a two-wire telephone cord with the following RJ-11 connector pinouts:
Figure 2-8: RJ-11 Connector Pinouts for FXS Interface
To connect MP-11x to FXS interfaces:
1. Connect one end of an RJ-11 two-wire telephone cord to the desired FXS port (labeled
FXS).
Figure 2-9: Connecting FXS Interfaces
2. Connect the other end of the cord to the required telephone interface (e.g., fax
machine, dial-up modem, or analog POTS telephone).

Hardware Installation Manual 16 Document #: LTRT-59815
MediaPack Series
2.4.3 Connecting MP-11x to FXO Interfaces
The procedure below describes how to cable the MP-11x FXO interfaces.
Warnings:
•Ensure that you connect FXO ports only to CO/PBX lines; otherwise,
damage to MP-11x may occur.
•To protect against electrical shock and fire, use a 26 AWG minimum wire
to connect FXO ports to the PSTN.
•FXO ports are considered TNV-3
Note:
FXO (Foreign Exchange Office) is the interface replacing the analog
telephone and connects to a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) line
from the Central Office (CO) or to a Private Branch Exchange (PBX). The
FXO is designed to receive line voltage and ringing current, supplied from the
CO or the PBX (just like an analog telephone). An FXO VoIP device
interfaces between the CO/PBX line and the Internet.
This cabling requires a two-wire telephone cord with the following RJ-11 connector pinouts:
Figure 2-10: RJ-11 Connector Pinouts for FXO Interface
To connect MP-11x to FXO devices:
1. Connect one end of an RJ-11 cable to the desired FXO port (labeled FXO).
Figure 2-11: Connecting FXO Interfaces
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the required telephone interface (e.g., telephone
exchange analog lines or PBX extensions).

Version 6.6 17 April 2012
Hardware Installation Manual 2. MP-11x Hardware Installation
2.4.4 Connecting MP-11x to Analog FXS 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. Therefore, you can use
the Lifeline phone even when MP-11x is not powered or not connected to the network.
The Lifeline feature is implemented as follows, depending on FXO/FXS support:

For devices providing only FXS ports: A single Lifeline connected to Port #1 using a
splitter (not supplied) is available.

For devices providing FXS and FXO ports: A splitter is not required - all FXS ports
are automatically connected to corresponding FXO ports (i.e., FXS Port #1 to FXO
Port #5, FXS Port #2 to FXO Port #6, and so on).

For devices providing only FXO ports: A Lifeline is not available.
Notes:
•The Lifeline feature is not supported by MP-112.
•The use of the Lifeline upon network failure can be disabled using the
LifeLineType ini file parameter (described in the User's Manual).
The Lifeline’s splitter connects pins #1 and #4 to another source of an FXS port, and pins
#2 and #3 to the POTS (FXS) phone. See the Lifeline splitter pinouts in the figure below:
Figure 2-12: RJ-11 Lifeline Splitter Connector Pinouts
To cable the MP-11x FXS Lifeline:
1. Connect the Lifeline splitter to Port #1 on MP-11x (the Lifeline splitter is a special order
option).
2. Connect the Lifeline phone to Port A on the Lifeline splitter.
3. Connect an analog PSTN line to Port B on the Lifeline splitter.
Figure 2-13: Lifeline Cabling (Using Splitter Cable) for FXS-Only Devices

Hardware Installation Manual 18 Document #: LTRT-59815
MediaPack Series
To cable the combined MP-11x FXS/FXO Lifeline:
1. Connect a fax machine, modem, or phone to each of the FXS ports.
2. Connect an analog PSTN line to each of the FXO ports.
Figure 2-14: Lifeline Cabling for FXS and FXO Devices
2.4.5 Connecting MP-11x to Computer for Serial Communication
The procedure below describes how to connect the MP-11x serial (RS-232) interface to a
computer.
This cabling requires a straight-through PS/2 to DB-9 cable adaptor with the following
connector pinouts:
Figure 2-15: PS/2 to DB-9 Adaptor Connector Pinouts
Figure 2-16: PS/2 Connector Pinouts
Notes:
•This procedure is not applicable to MP-112 as this model does not
provide an RS-232 serial interface port.
•The PS/2 to DB-9 cable adaptor is not included in the MP-11x package.

Version 6.6 19 April 2012
Hardware Installation Manual 2. MP-11x Hardware Installation
To connect MP-11x to a computer for serial communication:
1. Connect the PS/2 connector on one end of the cable to the MP-11x RS-232 port
(labeled RS-232).
Figure 2-17: Connecting the Serial Port
2. Connect the DB-9 connector at the other end of the cable to either the COM1 or COM2
RS-232 communication port on your computer.

2.4.6 Connecting MP-11x to Power
MP-11x is powered from a standard alternating current (AC) electrical outlet.
Warnings:
•The device must be connected only by professional service personnel.
•Ensure that the device connects to an electrical socket outlet that
provides protective earthing (grounding). Prior to connecting power, refer
to the Regulatory Information document supplied with the device.
•Use only the AC power cord supplied with the device.
To connect MP-11x to the power supply:
1. Connect the line socket of the AC power cord (supplied) to the device's AC power
socket (labeled 100-240V 0.3A ~50-60 Hz), located on the rear panel.
Figure 2-18: Connecting to the Power Supply
2. Connect the plug at the other end of the AC power cord to a standard electrical outlet.
