CEMTF10xx-10x in the Network
Install two CEMTF10xx-10x series Devices in series to extend, over fiber, the distance
between two voice path communication devices. An E&M signal is used to
communicate between a CO (telephone company C
entral Office) device and a PBX
(Private Branch eXchange) device. An RJ-45 female connector provides the electrical
interface between the Device and the communication device.
A fiber optic cable extends the distance between the two devices by up to 40 Km.
The fiber optic cable is not susceptible to lightning impulse noise and, since signal
ground is not carried over the link, the signal is not affected by elevated ground
potential between locations.
(These models are intended for on-premise applications. Therefore, no provision for sealing
the currents is provided.)
In order to transmit the voice signal from one communication device to the other, the
Device connected to the CO device is configured to emulate the PBX device.
Conversely, the Device connected to the PBX device is configured to emulate the CO
device.

“Side A” and “Side B”
The term “Side A” is used to refer to a PBX device and “Side B” is used to refer to a
CO device. Therefore, the network described above contains the following
components
• A CO device (“Side B”).
• A CEMTF10xx-10x configured to emulate the PBX device (“Side A”).
• A CEMTF10xx-10x configured to emulate the CO device (“Side B”).
• A PBX device (“Side A”).
The table at the top of page 3 lists the common terminology used to describe “Side
A” and “Side B” of an E&M interface (i.e, the interface between the communication
device and the CEMTF10xx-10x Device).

Installation
CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge precautions
when setting the jumpers and when installing the CEMTF10xx-10x Device. Failure to
observe this caution could result in damage to, and subsequent failure of, the Device
slide-in-module.
Setting the Jumpers
The CEMTF10xx-10x Device has five jumpers that are located on the circuit
board. One jumper (J2) is used to set the Device for 2-wire or 4-wire mode. The
other four jumpers (J1, JP1, JP2, JP3) are used to configure the Device for the five
E&M signal types (Type I, II, III, IV, and V). The specific settings for the 2-wire, 4-wire
mode and each of the E&M signal types (including a “No Signaling” setting). The
drawing below shows the locations of the five jumpers on the circuit board. Use a
pair of small needle-nosed pliers to set the jumpers.
E&M Signal Types
The CEMTF10xx-10x Media Converer can be set for the five different E&M signal
types (Type I, II, III, IV, and V). Each signal type has a different wiring arrangement, hence
a different approach to transmitting the E&M supervision signals (on-hook / off hook
signaling). The Device is configured for the various signal types by setting the jumpers
located on the Device circuit board.
The jumper configurations for the various signal types are detailed in the Installation
section of this manual.

The figure below is a connection diagram for the 2-wire and 4-wire settings. For
the 2-wire interface, the send and receive paths for the audio signals are
transmitted over a single pair of wires: Tip (4) and Ring (5). For the 4-wire
interface, the send and receive paths for the audio signals are in separate paths.
The send path is via the Tip (4) and Ring (5) wires while the receive path is via the
Tip-1(1) and Ring-1 (2) wires.
Note: Even though an E&M circuit may be classified as “4-wire”, it is likely to have
six or eight physical wires, depending on the signaling type and audio
implementation that are used.

An understanding of the RJ-45
connector pins will provide
insight into how the
communication signals are
transmitted between the
CEMTF10xx-10x Device and
the communication devices via
the copper cable. The drawing

Audio interface (2-wire / 4-wire)
There are two types of audio interfaces: 2wire and 4-wire; which describe the number
of wires used to transmit audio signals. The
figure to the right illustrates the jumper
configurations for the 2-wire and 4-wire
implemetations.
Note: The jumper for the 2-wire or 4-wire setting (J2) must be set for any of the
E&M Signal Types described on pages 5-10.

The figure below illustrates the wiring connections for the “Side A” and “Side B”
devices that have been configured for E&M Signal Type I. The specifics of the wiring
connections are as follows:
• Type I uses two leads for supervisor signaling: E and M.
• During inactivity, E-lead is open and M-lead is connected to ground.
• The PBX circuit (Side A) indicates the off-hook condition by connecting the
M-lead to the battery.
• The CO device (Side B) indicates the off-hook condition by connecting the Elead to ground.
* An optional configuration with a jumper installed on pins 23 and 24 (J1) will
complete the connection labeled “23-24” in the wiring diagram. The specifics of
the wiring diagram are the same whether or not the optional jumper is installed.

E&M Signal Type II
With E&M Signal Type II configuration, two CO device (“Side B”) nodes can be
connected back-to-back. For Type II configuration, set the jumpers on the “Side A”
Device and the “Side B” Device as follows:
The figure below illustrates the wiring connections for the “Side A” and “Side B”
devices that have been configured for E&M Signal Type II. The specifics of the wiring
connections are as follows:
• Type II uses four leads for supervision signaling: E, M, SB, and SG.
• During inactivity, both the E-lead and the M-lead are open.
• The PBX circuit (Side A) indicates the off-hook condition by connecting the
M-lead to the signal battery (SB) lead, which is connected to the battery of
the CO device (Side B).
• The CO device (Side B) indicates the off-hook condition by connecting the Elead to the signal ground (SG) lead, which is connected to the PBX circuit
(Side A) ground.
