Connecting a Voice ISDN BRI Line Chapter 3 Connecting the Router Note If you have specified the use of a private line automatic ringdown (PLAR) off-premises extension (OPX) connection mode for an FXO voice port (with loop resistance less than 8000 Ohm), you must ensure that the soft-offhook option is enabled on the port. This option allows a stepped offhook resistance during seizure which avoids overloading the circuit during offhook in the event that ringing voltage is present on the circuit at the same time as the trunk seizure. The stepped offhook resistance is initially set to 800 Ohms, then adjusts to 50 Ohms when ringing voltage is not present. To enable soft-offhook command on the port, and to access the connection command with plar opx syntax, see the Cisco Command Lookup Tool. Connecting a Voice ISDN BRI Line Use a straight-through RJ-45 cable to connect the voice BRI port to the ISDN network through a telephone outlet or other device. Caution To prevent damage to the router, be sure to connect the BRI cable to the BRI connector only, and not to any other RJ-45 connector. To connect the voice BRI line, follow these steps: Step 1 Connect one end of a straight-through RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cable to the Voice BRI port. Note When the interface is configured as NT and is connecting to a TE device, use a crossover cable.

Connecting a Voice ISDN BRI Line
Note
If you have specified the use of a private line automatic ringdown (PLAR) off-premises extension (OPX)
connection mode for an
FXO voice port (with loop resistance less than 8000 Ohm), you must ensure
that the soft-offhook option is enabled on the port.
This option allows a stepped offhook resistance during seizure which avoids overloading the circuit
during offhook in the event that ringing voltage is present on the circuit at the same time as the trunk
seizure. The stepped offhook resistance is initially set to 800 Ohms, then adjusts to 50 Ohms when
ringing voltage is not present.
To enable
soft-offhook
command on the port, and to access the
connection
command with plar opx
syntax, see the
Cisco Command Lookup Tool
.
Connecting a Voice ISDN BRI Line
Use a straight-through RJ-45 cable to connect the voice BRI port to the ISDN network through a
telephone outlet or other device.
Caution
To prevent damage to the router, be sure to connect the BRI cable to the BRI connector only, and not to
any other RJ-45 connector.
To connect the voice BRI line, follow these steps:
Step 1
Connect one end of a straight-through RJ-45–to–RJ-45 cable to the Voice BRI port.
Note
When the interface is configured as NT and is connecting to a TE device, use a crossover cable.
