2. NTBA Only S-interface available

3. Pairgain Only a/b-interfaces available

3. Installation

• If both the green LEDs light steadily, the SANTIS-ab is ready
for operation (see figure on page 2).

The following installation-steps can be done by everyone.

• The SANTIS-ab can be wall-mounted or placed on the desk
(piling of more units is also possible). In case of wall
mounting, drill the holes into the wall according to the
enclosed drawing, insert dowels with wood screws and hang
on the SANTIS-ab.

• Connection of the terminal equipments:

The sockets for the analog equipments (e.g. telephones, gr.2/3

fax machines, modems) are designated with «a/b1» and
«a/b2», those for the ISDN terminal equipments with «S»
(e.g. ISDN-telephones, PC with ISDN-card, gr.4 fax
machines). See figure on page 2.

4. Configuration

• There are only parameters for the a/b-interfaces. Thus there is
only a need for a configuration, if the a/b-interfaces are
available (NT+2ab mode and Pairgain mode; see chapter 2).

The configuration remains stored, even after a power failure.

• The configuration is done by means of an analog telephone

keys.

set equipped with tone dialing, having both

If the configuration access (CA) is restricted (can be set and

changed by authorized persons, e.g. telecom staff), the
configuration for the a/b1-interface can only be done via the
a/b1-interface and vice versa for the a/b2-interface.

This mode is called NT+2ab/CA restr.

If the Pairgain mode is selected, the configuration access is

automatically restricted, i.e. the configuration for the a/b1­interface can only be done via the a/b1-interface and vice
versa for the a/b2-interface.
