Wiring
Telephone System Wiring/Cabling must be “Home-Runs”. This means that each telephone location
must have a cable from that location to where the server is located (equipment room).
X16plus base configuration has 8 ports for Standard Digital Telephones and allows for expansion to 16
Standard Digital Ports with the optional EKT8 Card.
When the optional VOIP Card is equipped X16plus supports up to 16 IP devices. When both digital and
VOIP phones are used the X16plus maximum configuration is 32 phones.
• Standard Digital Telephones (16 max) must be cabled using Cat3,4,5 or 6.
• IP Phones must be cabled using Cat5e, 6 or greater. IP Phones can be installed on existing com-
puter (Ethernet Cat5e or greater) cabling!
• IP Phones can be connected to the server wirelessly using the WIFI Dongle (optional). WIFI should
only be used when necessary. WIFI is often NOT RELIABLE and is NOT RECOMMENDED as a
total system installation solution.
• Bluetooth for headset use is built into IP8g and available on the IP9g using an optional BT Dongle.

Connect XD10 (Standard Digital) Telephones X16plus Server
Use UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable. The
center two pins of the RJ11 wall jack and plug are
used. Connect one “PAIR” to the center two pins at
the wall jack. Use the White/Blue-Blue/White pair.
• White/Blue to GREEN
• Blue/White to RED
At the RJ11 plug insert the White/Blue, Blue/White
pair into the center two pins and crimp the connector.
(Connectors and crimping tool can be purchased at
Home Depot.) Then insert the RJ11 into X16plus
XBLUE Digital Phone Ports 1-8. Each port operates
one XD10. Ports 9-16 are optional.
You may be able to use cables that are
already in place. Usually telephone cables
are terminated on 66 Blocks (see pic).
Determine if the compexity of using existing
cables is more than you want to do. If so,
you can find telephone cable installers who
can help.
To determine if the person is up to the task
ask them to describe the “66 Block” to you.
If they cannot, pick someone else.
Make sure there are NO OTHER
devices or terminals on the wires
that go from the Digital Port to
the XD10 telephone!

Connect IP Phones (IP8g, IP9g, DECT Cordless Base)
Installation of IP Phones and other IP devices is done using your existing LAN (Local Area Netwrork). These devices use your network. IP Phones are not
connected to the Internet. All IP devices are connected to your router as any other IP device (computers, security systems, cameras, etc.) The optional VOIP
Card is required for VOIP devices.
Your router isolates your LAN from the Internet. It’s very important that all XBLUE voice devices are connected to the same LAN. If you are using more than
one router on your network you have more than one LAN.
You should connect your X16plus server “W” port to your LAN regardless of having IP Phones or not. The X16plus utilizes services on the Internet via

Connect Telephone Lines
X16plus Server
Use the telephone line cords provided in your bundle to connect your telephone lines to the X16plus server. Only the number of lines you have subscribed to will be
functional. On the Service Provider modem there will be analog line ports. The labeling on the Arris modem shown is Tel 1, Tel 2... ect. From the Service Provider
modem connect from Tel 1 to L1 on the X16plus and so on for Tel 2-L2, Tel 3-L3 and Tel 4-L4. Use only the cords provided in the bundle to ensure that there are
NO OTHER devices or terminals on the wires connecting the lines to the X16plus server..
An optional analog line expansion card is available with 2 additional telephone line ports. The maximum analog lines capacity of the X16plus is 6.

Power Up
1. Connect the X16plus server power adapter to an isolated AC power outlet. (Nothing else connected to that same electrical circuit.) Then
connect the power adapter to the X16plus server and use the switch on the adapter power cord to turn on the server. It takes approximately 3
minutes for the system to boot up. When boot up is complete the CPU lamp on the server will ash at approximately 1sec ON/1 sec OFF.
2. Now connect telephones. As telephones are connected they will take on the extension number of the port they are connected to (Digital
Phones) or the rst available extension number as they are connected to your network (IP Phones).
your router to update time settings to keep features like Time Mode and the clocks accurate.
The default (factory settings) for phone operation is: all phones

Note: it is estimated that 90% of analog lines are now provided via VOIP from your service provider. If you have good internet
service you can alternately use competitive XBLUE Telephone Lines service and eliminate the psuedo analog lines. XBLUE
Telephone Lines are provided over the “W” port connected to your router. You can use both analog and VOIP telephone lines.
8 VOIP Lines are possible however if the analog 2-Line Expansion is installed the maximum VOIP Lines is 6. https://xblue.com/
