2.3 Installation Procedure
Notes: Always turn off the power before installation!
Step 1: Plug the desired module into the on-board module slots, and fit the board into
the chassis
Step 2: Connect to analog phone lines or other input signals
Each RJ45 jack has 8 pins, which can be connected to four 2-pin RJ11 jacks via a 4-way hub.
See Figure 2-3 for the physical layout of the jack.

Take the first RJ45 jack for example, the matching relationship among the on-board channel
numbers, the 8 pins of the RJ45 jack and the 4-way hub is shown in Table 2-1 below.
Interface
Serial
Number
Channel
Number Pins of the RJ45 Jack 4-way Hub
1 1st and 2nd pins 1st jack
2 3rd and 4th pins 2nd jack
3 5th and 6th pins 3rd jack
First RJ45
connector
4 7th and 8th pins 4th jack
Notes:
①Connection to an RJ45 jack can be done through a 4-way hub and the matching
relationship for the other three on-board RJ45 jacks and their corresponding pins and
channel numbers may be deduced by analogy.
②4-way hubs are available on purchase from our company or if you prefer to construct one
by yourself, we suggest you follow Figure 2-3.
Step 3: Connect the microphone module
Skip this step if there is no need to record the condenser microphone.
Notes: We absolutely advise against connecting the microphone module to phone lines from
the PBX terminal, or it could be damaged. Pay attention to the pin polarity shown in Figure 2-8
below while connecting lines to the modules.

Step 4: Connect the sound box or other proper sound devices
Skip this step if there is no need to ‘monitor in real time’ or ‘play’.

Regarding how to choose proper sound devices, refer to ‘Input/output Interface’ and ‘Audio
Specifications’ in Appendix A Technical Specifications
Notes: The first module slot on the board must be fitted with a module should you wish
to play sound via the amplifier.
Step 5: Connect the bus cable with the H.100 bus on each board.
Skip this step if there is no need for bus exchange between multiple boards.
Notes:
① See Figure 2-9 for correct insertion. Do not twist or insert in the opposite direction.
②There are two clock settings for our boards: When between-board bus exchange is not
required, each board sets its own clock and may not connect to the bus cable; otherwise,
each board must be connected to the bus cable, following the clock of the cable.
③The bus cable houses stiff conducting material. Therefore, when it has been shaped, do
not bend it repeatedly or violently lest it is broken.
Step 6: Boot your computer and install the driver
Regarding driver installation, refer to Driver Installation Manual.
Step 7: Set the high-impedance record module to be of high-sensitivity (-20dB) with
software
Skip this step if there is no need to input signals into lines or record dynamic microphones.
Key Tips:
zAs the system is expected to run for long hours unmanned, ‘energy-saving’ mode should
be turned off for both the CPU and the HD in CMOS or WINDOWS operating system.

This is to ensure full-speed operation of the computer, or it may lead to a drop in
performance or unexpected errors after running for some time.
zIt is important to ground the chassis with analog tap passive boards for safety reasons,
according to standard industry requirements. A simple way is earthing with the third pin
on the plug. No or improper grounding may cause instability in operation as well as
decrease in lightning resistance.
