Cabling the XMU+ Control Card
Connecting Remote Telephone Access (optional)
The XMU+ provides a remote telephone access port, which is accessed through the
REMOTE RJ-11 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+
to provide Remote Access to the XMU+. Remote Access allows control of the XMU+
from a remote location using a DTMF (touch tone) telephone. Thus an operator who is
not in the same room as the XMU+, or who does not have XMUCOM+ installed on
their PC, can still create and modify XMU+ messages.
If this Remote Access option is connected, record it in the Delivery Checklist. See
Physical Specifications on page 21.
To connect an analog line to provide Remote Telephone Access
1. Ensure that a vacant, active telephone outlet is nearby. If one is not nearby,
install one. Prior to working with telephone lines, please refer to the following
safety considerations:
 Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
 Never install a telephone jack in a wet location unless the jack is
specifically designed for wet locations.
 Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone
line has been disconnected at the network interface.
 Always use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
2. Connect the one end of the POTS line or analog extension to the RJ-11 remote
access port on the XMU+.
3. Plug the RJ-11 Mating Connector (telephone jack) on the opposite end of the
POTS line or analog extension into the vacant, active telephone outlet.
4. Configure the XMU+ to allow Remote Access. See Understanding XMU+
Remote Telephone Access on page 85.
