2-4 Installation
Hardware Installation
Connecting Serial Cable or Modem
When connecting the Digital Voice Processing System directly (or locally), use the console
connection at the rear of the Digital Voice Processing System to connect the supplied 9-pin null
modem cable to the laptop/PC.
If attaching a modem to the Digital Voice Processing System, you must supply the necessary
straight-through, 9-pin to 25-pin cable to match the modem. When connecting cables, treat the
Digital Voice Processing System as a PC or other DTE device.
Connecting Power
When installing, the Digital Voice Processing System, connect the 18V AC power supply from the
unit to a dedicated 120V AC, 60 Hz grounded power outlet, as shown in Figure 2-1. When the
unit is ready to answer, the number of LED indicators corresponds to the port size (e.g., 6 LEDs
for a 6-port, 2 LEDs for a 2-port, etc.) If, after 2-3 minutes, there are any other LEDs lit, refer to the
Technical/Troubleshooting discussion in Section Section 7.
Some considerations when connecting the Digital Voice Processing System:
❐ Do not make phone line connections during a lightning storm.
❐ Only use the power supply that came with Digital Voice Processing System. Other power
supplies could damage the system.
❐ Be sure to route the connecting cables so they are free of tension.
❐ Connect the digital phone lines to the voicemail before powering on the voicemail unit.
NOTES
The modem attached to the TalkPath Voice Processing System must
have DIP switches that allow setting it for auto-answer and
suppress result codes. To work with the TalkPath Voice Processing
System, the modem MUST have switches that allow setting of these
two features.
