E1 Port
The E1 Port is usually connected to a PBX or switch—local exchange (LE). Type and pin outs of these devices
vary depending on the manufacturer. In most cases, a straight-through RJ-45 to RJ-45 can be used to connect
the T1/E1 Port with a PBX. A cross-over cable is required to connect to an NT device, as illustrated in
figure 15
on page 44.

Hazardous network voltages are present in the T1/E1 cables. If you detach the
cable, detach the end away from the IpLink or interface card first to avoid pos-
sible electric shock. Network hazardous voltages may be present on the device
in the area of the T1/E1 port, regardless of when power is turned OFF.
To prevent damage to the system, make certain you connect the
T1/E1 cable to the T1/E1 port only and not to any other RJ-45
socket.
