Cabling the XMU+ Control Card
The best way for XMU+ to communicate with XMUCOM+ depends on the
communication systems currently available in the environment in which the XMU+
will be placed. Record the communication option chosen in the Delivery Checklist.
See The XMU+ Delivery Checklist on page 21.
Note: Ideally, the XMUCOM+ software and the XMU+ unit should be installed concurrently
so that full testing can be completed. See Testing XMU+ Line Connections on page
100 and the XMU+ QuickStart Guide
for more information.
To connect to the PC with an analog line to modem
The XMU+ provides a modem access port, which is accessed through the MODEM
connector on the Control card. See Cabling the XMU+ Control Card on page 47 for
more information. An analog line is connected (using a standard telephone jack and
cable) to the XMU+.
1. Ensure that a vacant, active telephone outlet is nearby. If one is not nearby,
install one. Always take the following safety precautions when installing or
modifying telephone lines:
Never install wiring during a lightning storm.
Never install a jack in a wet location unless the jack is specifically designed
for wet locations.
Never touch uninsulated wires or terminals unless the lines have been
disconnected at the network interface.
2. Connect the one end of the POTS line to the RJ-11 modem port on the XMU+.
3. Plug the free end of the POTS line into the vacant, active telephone outlet.
Direct
Ethernet
Connection
With a non-LAN Ethernet connection by connecting the network
port of a PC directly to the network port on the XMU+ using an
Ethernet cable.
Use this method if your PC is equipped with a network card, but
does not have an available LAN to connect with. The Ethernet cable
creates a separate network connection between the PC and the
XMU+ unit.
Direct Ethernet connections require:
A network card to be installed within the XMUCOM+ PC.
An Ethernet Cable.
An IP address for the XMU+ unit (default on unit is 192.168.100.2)
An IP address for the XMUCOM+ (Admin) PC.
See To connect to the PC directly with the Network port on page 50
for more information.
