What is involved in a
typical phone system installation?
Typically most telephone
systems interface an existing office wiring or building wiring
through what is known as a telecom
66 block as shown in the schematic below. Most
telephone systems use either a two wire or four wire configuration
connecting the telephone system to the existing wiring.
Incoming lines interface the telephone system using two pairs for
each incoming line.
E System Sales, Inc. has
available what we call an
EZ install Cable & Block Kit that includes a telephone
system wiring schematic making installation of a telephone system
much easier for a typical do-it-yourself installer interested in
saving money installing the telephone system.
NOTE: The NEC Telephone
System for example uses 1 pair of wires on all incoming phone lines
and phone extensions. A
66 Block termination
punch down tool is also required for installation.
PC Admin programming is also
available for programming of most modern telephone systems using a
Windows based Personal Computer. A Windows 2000 or XP PC Computer
with an available USB or Ethernet port, PC Admin cable, and Windows
computer skills are required to perform phone system programming.
