Prerequisites for Installation
The following items are required before installing the EXTender.
Network Requirements
• The MCK T1/PRI card provides network termination. If you choose not to use the MCK T1/PRI card, you
must make sure the appropriate network terminating devices are installed , con figured, and functioning
at both the corporate facility and the branch office. These ne twork devices must support one of the following:
• an RS-232, V.35, or RS-530 synchronous serial interface
• a Voice over IP (10/100BaseT) interface
• Connect the Remote unit to the phones using proper wiring with adequate pu nch down blocks. Use “Pin
Assignments (25-Pair Cable) on page’ 19 as a guide, and provide the RJ-21 female connector.
• Branch Office T1 / PRI Provisioning for Local Dialing
• DTMF signaling (can be pulse)
• *Wink (received) immediate (transmit out) start
• B8ZS coding
• ESF framing
• You can use the default DS0 DN or select them individually and indicate how the line will perform
(i.e Incoming/Outgoing).
*Wink / Immediate essentially means that for outbound calls our CSU/DSU needs Wink Start and for
inbound calls Immediate Start. For outbound Wink start, our CSU/DSU will seize the line and wait for
the network to send a wink. After receiving the Wink the CSU/DSU will then start pulsing out the digits. For inbound calls, the network should just seize the line. The CSU/DSU does not accept inbound
digits and will not produce a wink.
• If using a PRI ensure that the circuit has been provisioned by the Telcos to include NO NFAS and if
needed DID provided. This way we can assign inbound calls on the local PRI to specific phones on the
EXTender 7000.
Space Requirements
• The distance from the phones to the EXTender should NOT exceed 500 feet.

Power-Up
1. Once the VT-100 program is set up, plug the unit into an AC outlet. The device will begin a series of selfdiagnostic tests, which are displayed as a series of LED flashes. During the power-up sequence,
observe the Power, WAN and Port LEDs on the front of the EXTender.
Figure 2-6: Back of Unit
VOIP Notes:
• If you are connecting an EXTender to an IP network, the unit needs to be assigned an IP address.
• Once the power-up sequence has finished, the state of the following LEDs should be Green.
LED States:
PWR: Solid Green
WAN 1: Solid Green (Ready) if a synchronous device is connected to WAN 1.
Port LEDs: Solid Green if connected properly to the telephones.
IMPORTANT: If any of the LEDs DO NOT power as explained, refer to the System Administrator’s
Guide for troubleshooting information.
Figure 2-7: Front of Unit
On initial power-up (or before the configuration file has been changed) the Management Interface will ask

Set Up Wizard
The EXTender provides a console setup wizard which will guide a user through the required programming/
configuration steps required to complete the initial setup of the unit. The Setup Wizard is accessed via the
VT100 console management interface accessed through the DB-9 management port. This will require a PC
running a Terminal Emulation program.
The wizard asks the user the basics of their particular configuration, and uses this information to establish
the initial configuration programming. Parameters that cannot be configured through the wizard can be set
through the Management Interface (MI).
Standard Console UI vs. the Setup Wizard
When a unit is first powered up it will check a Setup Wizard flag. If the flag is set then the standard console
UI will be displayed. If the flag is not set then the user will be asked whether they would like to run the Setup
Wizard. After this initial prompt the Setup Wizard flag will be set, preventing the user from being asked to run
the Wizard again. The Setup Wizard can also be accessed through the console Management Interface in
case the user wants to run it later.
How to access the Setup Wizard through the MI:
