2Eight shelf-to-device screws.
2.1.4 Cabling MP-11x
This section describes the MP-11x cabling procedures:
¾To cable MP-11x:
Connecting to the Ethernet network (refer to 'Connecting MP-11x to the Network' on
page 16).
Connecting to FXS/FXO devices (refer to 'Connecting MP-11x to FXS/FXO Devices'
on page 16).
Cabling the FXS Lifeline (refer to 'Cabling MP-11x FXS Lifeline' on page 17).
Serial connection to a computer (refer to 'Connecting MP-11x RS-232 Port to a PC' on
page 19).
Connecting to the power supply (refer to 'Connecting MP-11x to Power' on page 20).
Once you have completed the above hardware installation steps and after powering-up MP-
11x, the Ready and Power LEDs on the front panel light up green (after a self-testing
period of about two minutes). Any malfunction in the startup procedure changes the Fail
LED to red and the Ready LED is turned off (for details on the MP-11x LEDs, refer to
'Monitoring Front-Panel LEDs' on page 55). Once you have cabled the device, you can
begin configuring the device (refer to 'Configuring the Device' on page 35).

Installation Manual 16 Document #: LTRT-59813
MediaPack Series
2.1.4.1 Connecting MP-11x to the Network
Follow the procedure below for connecting MP-11x directly to the Ethernet network.
¾To connect MP-11x directly to the Ethernet network:
Using a crossover Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors on either end, connect the
MP-11x Ethernet port (labeled Ethernet), directly to the network. For RJ-45 connector
pinouts, refer to the figure below:
Figure 2-6: RJ-45 Connector Pinouts
Note: When assigning an IP address to MP-11x using HTTP (refer to 'Assigning an
IP Address Using HTTP' on page 36), you may be required to disconnect the
Ethernet cable and re-cable it differently.
2.1.4.2 Connecting MP-11x to FXS/FXO Devices
Follow the procedure below for connecting MP-11x to FXO or FXS devices.
Warnings:
•Ensure that you connect FXS ports only to analog telephones or PBX
trunk lines, and 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 and FXS ports are considered TNV-3
Notes:
•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.
•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.

Version 6.2 17 February 2011
Installation Manual 2. Installing the Device
¾To connect MP-11x to FXO or FXS devices:
Using an RJ-11 two-wire telephone cords (refer to figure below for connector pinouts),
connect MP-11x to the required telephone interfaces:
•FXS: connect the MP-11x FXS ports (grouped under the label FXS) to fax
machines, modems, or telephones.
•FXO: connect the MP-11x FXO ports (grouped under the label FXO) to telephone
exchange analog lines or PBX extensions.
Figure 2-7: RJ-11 Phone Connector Pinouts
2.1.4.3 Cabling the FXS Lifeline
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.
Note: 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. Refer to the Lifeline splitter pinouts in the figure
below:
Figure 2-8: RJ-11 Lifeline Splitter Connector Pinouts

Installation Manual 18 Document #: LTRT-59813
MediaPack Series
¾To 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 2-9: Lifeline Cabling (Using Splitter Cable) for FXS-Only Devices
¾To 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.

Installation Manual 2. Installing the Device
2.1.4.4 Connecting MP-11x RS-232 Port to a PC
Follow the procedure below to connect the MP-11x serial (RS-232) interface to a PC using
a straight-through, PS/2 to DB-9 cable adaptor.
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.
¾To connect MP-11x to a PC:
1. Connect the PS/2 connector (refer to the figure below for connector pinouts) on one
end of the cable to the MP-11x RS-232 port (labeled RS-232).
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 PC.
