How to use

Install the analog terminal adapter by connecting it to the compatible Auerswald PBX or host communication unit following the manufacturer's mechanical and electrical connection points. Attach each analog device to the module's FXS ports using standard telephone cables. Configure the PBX or host system to recognize and assign extensions to the new analog ports, and verify dial tone, ringing and call setup for each connected device. Perform a brief functional test for voice calls and fax transmission to confirm correct operation.

Recommendations

Place the module in a dry, ventilated area away from strong electromagnetic interference and ensure cable lengths follow recommended limits for analog lines. Use shielded or quality telephone cabling for longer runs and validate compatibility with the host PBX firmware to maintain stable signalling and fax performance.
