the point of connection to the outside lines from the
network interface, which is provided by the local
telephone company, to jacks in a jack field for the outside.
lines.
Refer to the topics referenced below depending on your
wiring needs.
If you decide not to have direct connections from the
voice terminals to the control unit and the building
wiring and jack fields are not installed, you need to
construct a jack field for the voice terminal wiring.
Follow the instructions in “Constructing a Jack Field
for Voice Terminal Wiring,” found on page 2-35.
If the local telephone company provided a 50-pin
(RJ2 l-type) connector interface but the wiring from
the network interface to a jack field for outside lines is
not installed, you may want to construct a jack field for
outside line wiring and extend the network interface to
it. Follow the instructions in “Extending the Network
Interface to the Jack Field for Outside Lines” on page
2-41.
If all necessary wiring is in place, go on to “Installing
the Control Unit” on page 2-50 and follow the
instructions.
See Figure 2-2 on page2-13 for an illustration of
MERLIN II system wiring with jack fields.
NOTE:
The jack fields for the system shown are
constructed with Z122C apparatus boxes, which
are attached to each other using a tongue-in-
groove design and mounted to the left of or under
the control unit. The Z122C boxes come with 2A
retainers for holding wiring adapters, such as the
cutdown-to-modjack 2601A adapter. If 2A
retainers are not required, Z122B apparatus
boxes can also be used. See the following
heading, “Constructing a Jack Field for Voice
Terminal Wiring.”
