ISDN Port Assignment
The SARK 00 can be fitted with up to four (4) ISDN2e ports or up to 8 FXO lines.
Notes
•All SARK ISDN terminations are to RJ4 .
•All SARK FXO terminations are to RJ11.
Network Switch
The network switch should have enough ports to handle all of your IP connected
telephones plus room for growth. It should be sited away from high traffic areas in the
workspace and it should have sufficient front clearance to accommodate the RJ4
connectors from the UTP cables. You should also ensure that there is adequate access to
enable easy addition/removal and rerouting of cables from time to time. UTP cables
should be uniquely identified and marked at both termination points in order to
facilitate easy tracing from device to switch.
If you intend to deploy a POE capable switch then you should ensure that its total power
output is adequate for the overall load that the POE phones will impose. This
information is available from the phone and POE switch manufacturers.
Power Up
Once you have decided upon a satisfactory location, install the network switch.
Everything else will connect to this device so it’s the best place to start. If your
workplace is already cabled for a computer network you may wish to assess whether
you have sufficient access points to handle an integrated computer/telephone network.
This may necessitate new cable runs and/or switch upgrades and it is best to do these
now before any further equipment is positioned. Next, install the SARK 00 server
platform. Attach the LAN socket on the rear of the SARK 00 enclosure to the network
switch using a Cat e (RJ4 ) UTP or braided patch cable (depending upon distance).
Attach the WAN Socket to your upstream network switch or router. Bring up the
network switches and the SARK 00 server. Your PBX is now ready to be tailored to your
requirements. Depending upon the support subscription you have with your
reseller/distrubutor this will either be carried out locally by yourself, by your reseller or
remotely by ProVu.
