Chapter 3      Installing Cisco VG202 and Cisco VG204 Voice Gateways

  Installing the Ground Connection

Warning

This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the 
absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection 
authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. 

Statement 1024

Warning

Use copper conductors only. 

Statement 1025

To connect the chassis to a reliable earth ground, perform the following steps:

Step 1

Locate a suitable ground.

Tip

Using a multimeter, measure the resistance between various possible ground locations, such as between 
the ground of a junction box (outlet) and the ground of a power tap, between the ground of a junction 
box and a metal water pipe, between the Cisco VG202 or Cisco VG204 chassis and the ground of a power 
tap, and between the Cisco VG202 or Cisco VG204 chassis and the ground of a junction box. A good 
ground connection should read between 0.0 and 0.5 ohms.

Step 2

Strip one end of the ground wire to the length required for the ring terminal.

Step 3

Crimp the ground wire to the ground lug or ring terminal, using a crimp tool of the appropriate size. (See 

Figure 3-4

.)

Figure 3-4

Crimping a Ground Lug onto the Ground Wire

Step 4

Attach the ring terminal to the chassis as shown in 

Figure 3-5

. For a ring terminal, use one of the screws 

provided. Use a number-2 Phillips screwdriver, and tighten the screws to a torque of 8 to 10 in-lb (0.9 
to 1.1 N-m).
