EX7100 Technical Manual - Installation of Antenna and Equipment

Note: The EX7100 automatically detects the presence of an Exchange interface card.

The terminal is configured for 2-wire or 4-wire+E&M, in software via the front panel

keypad. Refer to Section 3.4.3 for configuration details.

The Exchange terminal may also be software configured, via the front panel keyboard, as

a point to point Data terminal. Refer to Section 3.4.3 for configuration details.

2.7.3 Subscriber Terminal Connections

The EX7100 Subscriber terminal provides six 2-wire telephone circuits for connection to

equipment such as telephones, payphones, EFT-POS terminals, etc.

These circuits are accessed from the terminal via the 50-way Champ connector, labelled

‘LINE INTERFACE’, on the terminal’s rear panel. (For detailed pin-out information refer to

Appendix A.6)

The Subscriber terminal may be supplied with a 3 or 10 metre cable that can be plugged

directly into this connector. The un-terminated end of the cable may be either wired

directly to the user equipment, to an existing MDF, or to Exicom’s optional Line

Terminating Frame (LTF). Contact your Exicom International Supplier for details

Note: The EX7100 automatically detects the presence of a Subscriber interface card.

The LTF is available with various connector options, as well as optional Primary Lightning

Protection circuitry. Contact your Exicom International Supplier for further details.

2.8 Earthing the Terminal

The provision of a suitable earth for the terminal is the responsibility of the installer. The

EX7100 has a screw terminal on the rear panel to connect the terminal to earth.

This will assist in preventing damage to the terminal from lightning strikes, particularly

strikes to the telephone cables. Protection from strikes to the antenna system may be

provided by fitting the recommended antenna lightning arrester.

For these protective measures to be effective, the system requires a good earth

connection. Mains earth is not

adequate, nor is a thin wire or any wire with bends or twists

in it.

The best earth connection is using a suitably heavy wire (e.g. >4 mm

copper cable)

connected straight to an earthing stake driven into the ground

If this is not possible, connect the earth cable to the equipment rack ground system.

2.9 Other Rear Panel Connections

The EX7100 is fitted with several other rear panel connectors as detailed below. Some of

these connectors will not be used for all applications, however descriptions of their

functions are detailed below.

Note: Detailed pin-out information can be found in Appendix A.
