Protecting
the line
connections
Transient voltage spikes, if induced onto CO or CENTREX lines, can travel through the cable
and into the common equipment. The telephone company offers basic protection against this
condition, but it is usually designed to protect the central office circuits. While this CO or
CENTREX service will also provide some protection to the common equipment, you should not
rely upon it for total protection. To help ensure that external over-voltage surges do not damage
the system, Comdial recommends that you install and properly ground gas discharge tubes, or
similar primary protection devices, on all lines.
If spare conductors exist in the cables that are run between the line boards and the 66M-xx
connector blocks, it is a good practice to connect them to earth ground to help prevent them from
inducing radio frequency and/or AC interference into the system.
Each line board is shipped with a ferrite collar. Snap one of these around each line cable to
provide protection against radio frequency interference.
4.2 Connecting The Stations
How to
connect
the stations
Station boards have 50-pin amphenol-type connectors that are cable-connected to type 66M-xx
connector blocks. Wiring from the connector blocks to the stations is via twisted-pair cable to
standard wall jacks. The gauge size of the twisted-pair station wiring determines the maximum
distance allowed from the common equipment to the stations.

Digital Telephone 2500 Feet 2000 Feet 1500 Feet
Industry-Standard Telephone 4000 Feet 3500 Feet 3000 Feet

connections
If spare conductors exist in the cables that are run between the station boards and the 66M-xx
connector blocks, it is a good practice to connect them to earth ground to help prevent them from
inducing radio frequency and/or AC interference into the system.
Each station interface board is shipped with an appropriate supply of ferrite collars. Snap one of
these around each station cable to provide protection against radio frequency interference.
Installing a
DSS/BLF
console
Install a DSS/BLF Console at any station in the system as a companion to a telephone. There is
no limit to the maximum number of consoles that can be installed on a system. When you install a
console, you must also define the station as a console with programming.
