Network
Connect the network cables that are applicable to the site. Refer to the VISION 6000 User Manual for more
information concerning other network equipment that may be required such as network terminating units and CSUs.
ISDN BRI
Connect each cable (labeled 1 to 6) within the ISDN BRI cable loom to the ISDN BRI sockets on the Codec. Then
connect the other end of the loom to the appropriate wall sockets. If however, the wall sockets provide an ISDN Uinterface, the ISDN lines from the Codec must first be connected to the S/T interface of network terminating units NT1
and NT384. Then connect the U interface of the network terminating units to the wall sockets.
ISDN E1/T1
Connect the E1/T1 cable to the E1/T1 socket labeled “1” on the Codec. Connect the other end of the cable to a
Channel Service Unit (CSU). Then connect the CSU to the site’s E1/T1 line.
External Network
Connect an RS366/V35/RS449 or X21 cable from NET on the Codec to CSU #1. Connect the CSUs to the
appropriate wall sockets.
Ethernet
Connect the LAN cable from the Ethernet connector on the rear of the Codec to the site’s Ethernet network
connection.
Note: For instruction concerning interface configuration, see: Ethernet Diagnostic Setup.

Network Terminating Units NT1 and NT384 (North America only)
Install network terminating units when the site’s network provider ISDN BRI lines provides a U interface.
The U interface of the unit is connected to the outside network, and the S/T interface of the unit is connected to the
internal system network (Codec ISDN BRI connectors). The status of the ISDN lines can be determined by examining
the color-coded lamps that are on the font panel of each unit.
NT1
Lamp Indicates that:
U ACTIVE The outside line is available for use. (The U interface has been acquired.) This lamp may take up to 30 seconds to light.
S/T ACTIVE The internal ISDN equipment is ready. (The S/T interface has been acquired.)
NOT READY There is a problem with the U or S/T interface and it is not ready for data transmission. If this lamp remains lit, check
cabling and network connections.
NT384 (ISDN Lines 1, 2, and 3)
Lamp Indicates that:
Green The U and S/T interfaces are ready.
2
Orange The U interface is ready, but the S/T interface is not ready.
Red The U interface is not ready (therefore, the S/T interface is also not ready).
Network terminating unit model NT1 has two switches for configuration. These switches are factory set to the
configuration required by the Educator2 as follows:
S/T TERM (OHMS) is set to “100”
S/T WIRING is set to “LONG”
Installing Optional Equipment
The following installation procedures apply to specific models or types of optional equipment. If you are installing
