4 Connecting the Equipment STEP 1 Insert the power cord into the back of the UC 540. Do not connect to power. STEP 2 Screw the antenna onto the threaded connector on the front panel. Orient the antenna to point upward. STEP 3 Connect the interfaces and devices as described below. Type of Connection Description DSL, cable modem, or Connect the supplied Ethernet cable from the broadband network devices. device to the WAN port on the front panel of the UC 540. Cisco strongly recommends using Category 5 or better cable. PSTN analog trunks ISDN line1 (only applies to model UC540W-BRI-K9) Connect an RJ-11 cable to one of the Line (FXO) ports on the front panel of the UC 540. Connect the other end of the cable to a PSTN line or a station interface on a PBX. Connect the cable provided by the ISDN provider to one of the Line (BRI) ports on the front panel of the UC 540. Connect the other end of the cable to the ISDN provider equipment. IP phones and other network Connect an Ethernet network cable from the devices (such as a wireless network device to one of the PoE ports on the UC access point, IP video 540 front panel. cameras, and network attached storage (NAS) devices) Fax machine or analog phone Connect an RJ-11 cable to one of the Phone (FXS) ports on the front panel of the UC 540. Connect the other end of the cable to the fax machine or phone. ESW switch Connect an Ethernet network cable from the expansion port of the UC 540 to one of the uplink ports on the switch. 1. If a T1/EI controller is installed in the VIC slot, connect either a T1/E1 straight-through cable (identical to the Ethernet straight-through cable), or a T1/E1 crossover cable to the controller. Connect the other end of the cable to the ISDN provider equipment. The cable that you use depends on the type of termination on the network interface device (NID), and is the point in which the telephone company network ends and connects with the wiring at the customer site.
