Install off-premises station wiring

The local telephone company provides the cabling for off-premises stations. These stations can appear on 
any of the RJ21X network interfaces provided for the CO trunks.

Use only an FCC-approved (or equivalent) analog telephone (for example, 2500-series set) as an 
off-premises station. The TN746B and TN2183 Analog Line circuit packs can be connected to off-
premises stations.

Install an A25D cable between the RJ21X network interface and a sneak fuse panel.

At the MDF, connect jumper wires between 1 row/connecting block in the green field and up to 3 
rows/connecting blocks in the purple field to concentrate the analog line pairs.

Connect an A25D cable between the sneak fuse panel and the terminal block connector associated 
with the green row in Step 2.

Install a green label on the terminal block to identify the remote location.

Administer per Administrator’s Guide for Avaya Communication Manager (555-233-506).

Out-of-building campus stations are telephones not physically located in the same building as the 
equipment room yet located on the same property.

 on page 123 shows the 

connections for 1 to 8 off-premises analog telephones. Only analog telephones connected to TN742, 
TN746B, TN2183, or TN769 Analog Line circuit packs can be installed out-of-building.

The maximum distance from the system’s cabinet to the out-of-building voice terminal is 6000 feet 
(1828.8 meters) using 24-AWG (0.26-mm
