Interalia |SBX2System Manual Page 7

CHAPTER 2 | Installing the SBX2
Setting Country Code
The SBX2is designed to work globally, and as such has different line impedance settings to match the line impedance
requirements for different countries around the world. It is important to set the correct country code for your region.
The available settings are: PBX 600 Ohms, North America, Europe & Australia.
To set the country code
•• From the front panel with the time and date displayed, press the Enter key to reach ‘Main Menu, Messages.’
•• Press the right arrow until you reach ‘Main Menu, System.’ Press Enter.
•• Press the right arrow until you reach ‘System, Country Code.’ Press Enter.
•• Press Enter again, now use the right and/or left arrow to scroll through the country options.
•• Select the setting you require and Press enter.
Note: Not setting the country code may invalidate the SBX2Telecom Approvals, and the unit will not be optimized to work in your region.
Soft Stop Option
Soft Stop is a setting that can be enabled to minimize the line disconnect ‘click’ heard when the SBX2is connected to
a Siemens PBX.
To enable this option...
•• From the panel with the time and date displayed, Press the Enter key, and right arrow key to reach ‘Main
Menu, Lines.’ Press Enter.
•• Now Press Enter to select which line you wish to enable with the ‘soft stop’ option. Scroll through to select ‘ALL
lines’ should you wish to enable soft stop on every line. Press enter.
•• Press the right arrow key to reach ‘Lines, Soft Stop.’ Press Enter.
•• Press Enter again and the right arrow key to select ‘Enabled.’ Press Enter.
IMPORTANT* This feature will affect the actual hook flash timing that is presented to the PBX, as the gradual release
of the line appears as a reduced hook flash. A PBX that uses a North American style 500ms hook flash will be
unaffected, but a PBX that uses 100ms Time Break Recall will need to make the following adjustments:
•• The XFER_STYLE hook flash in the SBX2program should be set to 350ms.
•• Then, in order that the lines release time parameters fall within the switch times, check the analogue port template
for the HiCom or HiPath (enter command DIS-SCSU) and check parameter CCTIDX. The default is blank - this must
be changed to table 0-15. Enter command DIS-PTIME: SLMA1; then select or edit a table that has a FLASHMIN
and FLASHMAX that suit the SBX2requirements. i.e. TBLOCK=3; FLASHMIN=100MS. FLASHMAX=400MS
Cabling the SBX2
Cabling the SBX2involves connecting and/or wiring each port to the appropriate PBX, transmitter, or amplifier.
In addition, it involves cabling the communication ports to the appropriate connections, which could include:
•• Alarm connection.
•• Telephone lines for Remote Access and modem connections.

require:
•• A network port must be available on the XMUCOM+ PC.
•• Both the PC and SBX2(Network 1 Port) unit be connected to the network for
LAN access.
•• A fixed IP address for the SBX2unit.
•• An IP address for the XMUCOM+ (Admin) PC.
See To connect to the PC through an Ethernet (LAN) Network on page 13 for
more information.
The most effective means for SBX2to communicate with XMUCOM+ depends on the communication systems currently
available in the environment in which the SBX2will be placed.
To connect to the PC with an analog line to the modem connector
The SBX2provides a modem access port, which is accessed through the MODEM connector. See SBX2 Port
Descriptions and Cabling Instructions on page 11 for more information. An analog line is connected (using a
standard RJ45 telephone jack and cable) to the SBX2.
1. Ensure that a vacant, active telephone outlet is nearby. If one is not nearby, install one.
2. Connect the one end of the POTS line to the RJ45 modem port on the SBX2.
3. Plug the free end of the POTS line into the vacant, active telephone outlet.

CHAPTER 2 | Installing the SBX2
To connect to the PC through an Ethernet (LAN) Network
The SBX2provides a RJ45 port (Network 1) to connect the SBX2to a PC via a network.
See SBX2 Port Descriptions and Cabling Instructions on page 11 for more information.
1. Ensure that a vacant, active network outlet is nearby. If one is not nearby, install one.
2. Connect one end of the RJ45 to RJ45 cable to the Network 1 RJ45 port on the SBX2.
3. Plug the free end of the RJ45 to RJ45 cable into the vacant, active network outlet.
4. Ensure the “link” LED is on (green).
To connect to the PC directly with the Network port
It is possible to create a non-LAN Ethernet connection by connecting the network port of a PC directly to the Network
1 Port on the SBX2.
See the Interalia document SBX2How to Enable Direct Connection to a PC (document number 41-HG-000-001-00-
EN-85).
Connecting Remote Telephone Access (optional)
The SBX2provides a remote telephone access port, which is accessed through the REMOTE RJ45 connector on the
SBX2. See SBX2 Port Descriptions and Cabling Instructions on page 11 for more information.
An analog line is connected (using a standard telephone jack and cable) to the SBX2to provide Remote Access to the
SBX2. Remote Access allows control of the SBX2from a remote location using a DTMF (touch tone) telephone. Thus an
operator who is not in the same room as the SBX2, or who does not have XMUCOM+ installed on their PC, can still create
and modify SBX2messages.
To connect an analog line to provide Remote Telephone Access
1. Ensure that a vacant, active telephone outlet is nearby. If one is not nearby, install one.
2. Connect the one end of the POTS line or analog extension to the RJ45 REMOTE access port on the SBX2.
3. Plug the RJ45 Mating Connector (telephone jack) on the opposite end of the POTS line or analog extension into the
vacant active telephone outlet.
4. Configure the SBX2to allow Remote Access. See Understanding SBX2 Remote Telephone Access on page 69.

the override switch allows regular
programming to be overridden by a
pre-recorded message in case of an
emergency.
To Wire The Alarm Connector
When the system is powered up and running normally, there is a closed circuit between the Common (C) and the
Normally Open (NO) contacts, and an open circuit between the Common (C) and the Normally Closed (NC) contacts. In
an alarm condition, the opposite occurs, with an open circuit between the (C) and the (NO) contacts, and a closed circuit
between the (C) and the (NC) contacts. The Input is not polarity sensitive.
1. Wire the connector pinouts on the alarm RJ-45 connector using the following table.
