3.3.3 Installing the TP-260
¾ To install the TP-260 board, take these 8 steps:
1. End all applications running in the PC.
2. Shut down the PC, turn off the power, and remove the PC's cover.
3. Choose an available PCI slot and remove its blank rear bracket.
4. Insert the TP-260 board into the chosen PCI slot. Ensure that the front panel (bracket)
of the TP-260 board fits correctly into the opening in the rear panel of the PC's
chassis. Also, check that the edge of the PCI retainer bracket fits correctly into the
PC’s PCI slot.
5. Secure the front panel of the TP-260 board into the chassis frame with a standard
screw. This also ensures chassis ground to the TP-260 board.
6. Replace and secure the PC's cover.
7. Power up the PC.
8. When using Windows
TM
operating systems, the PC prompts that new hardware has
been found. The driver for the TP-260 is found in the supplied software package
(260_UNSeries.inf).
Note that since the TP-260 PCI gateway operates independently and relies on the
host’s PCI only for its power, the driver is only used to prevent the Found new
Hardware Wizard to reappear each time the host PC restarts.
3.3.4 Cabling the TP-260
¾ To cable the TP-260, take these 2 steps:
1. Connect the TP-260 E1/T1 interfaces to your E1/T1 trunks by using the four supplied
TP-260 E1/T1 cable splitters (shown in Figure 3-11). Connect a splitter to each of the
four RJ-48 connectors labeled Trunks 1/5, 2/6, 3/7 and 4/8 on the TP-260 front panel.
Each splitter distributes each RJ-48 connector into two separate connectors (wired
according to Figure 2-7): the first connector (labeled 1/4) on each splitter supports
each of the first four trunks, the second connector (labeled 5/8) on each splitter
supports each of the last four trunks.
Note: The TP-260 E1/T1 cable splitter is part of the 8-span TP-260 product and is
PSTN certified. When using a non-AudioCodes E1/T1 cable splitter,
AudioCodes cannot guarantee compliance with PSTN homologations.

2. Connect the TP-260 Ethernet connection, located on the front panel, directly to the
network using a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable. The Ethernet connector is wired
according to Figure 2-6.
Note that when assigning an IP address to the TP-260 using HTTP (under Step 1 in
Section 4.2.1), you may be required to disconnect this cable and re-cable it differently.
