The FXS interfaces supply ring voltage, dial tone, and other services as described in this publication.
FXS ports emulate the central office (CO) or private branch exchange (PBX) in that they provide a service to an analog telephone or fax machine. The telephone or fax machine behaves as if it is connected to a normal CO or PBX line.
Note
All signaling configuration is done through Cisco CallManager. Refer to the Cisco CallManager documentation for complete configuration details.
Safety Overview
Safety warnings appear throughout this publication in procedures that may harm you if performed incorrectly. A warning symbol precedes each warning statement.
Note
For a complete description of safety and compliance requirements, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Calyst 6500 Series Switches document.
Features
Features unique to the 24-port FXS analog interface module features are listed in Table 1. Features that the 24-port FXS analog interface module shares with other Catalyst 6500 modules are described in the following sections:
Fax and modem transport parameters are listed in Table 2.
Hot Swapping
Hot swapping lets you remove and replace the 24-port FXS analog interface module while the system is operating. When the system detects that a module has been installed or removed, it automatically runs diagnostic and discovery routines, acknowledges the presence or absence of the module, and resumes system operation without any user intervention.
Power Management
Because the Catalyst 6500 series modules have different power requirements, certain switch configurations require more power than a single power supply can provide. Although the power management feature allows you to power all installed modules with two power supplies, redundancy is not supported in this configuration.
For detailed information on power management, refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Software Configuration Guide.
Environmental Monitoring
Environmental monitoring of chassis components provides early warning indications of possible component failure to ensure safe and reliable system operation and avoid network interruptions.
For detailed information on environmental monitoring, refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Software Configuration Guide.

Warning
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.
The section is divided into the following topics:
Required Tools
These tools are required to install the 24-port FXS analog module in the Catalyst 6500 series switches:
•
Number 1 and number 2 Phillips screwdrivers for the captive installation screws
•
Antistatic mat or antistatic foam
•
Wrist strap or other grounding device
Removing Modules
CautionDuring this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the module. Do not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.
CautionTo prevent ESD damage, handle modules by the carrier edges only.
To remove a module from a Catalyst 6500 Series Switch, perform these steps:
Step 1
Disconnect any network interface cables attached to the ports on the module you intend to remove.
Step 2
Loosen the captive installation screws, as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3 Ejector Levers and Captive Installation Screws
Step 3
Grasp the left and right ejector levers and simultaneously pivot the levers outward to release the module from the backplane connector. Figure 3 shows a close-up of the right ejector lever.
Step 4
Grasp the module front panel with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to support and guide it out of the slot. Do not touch the printed circuit boards or connector pins.
Step 5
Carefully pull the module straight out of the slot, keeping your other hand under the carrier to guide it.
Step 6
Place the module on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam, or immediately install it in another slot.
Step 7
If the slot is to remain empty, install a module filler plate (part number 800-00292-01) to keep dust out of the chassis, to maintain proper airflow through the module compartment, and to prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and current.
Warning
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.
CautionBefore connecting system power or turning on the switch, ensure that the system is connected to a supplementary ground. For complete instructions on connecting the supplementary ground, refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Installation Guide publication.
Installing Modules
Follow these steps to install the 24-port FXS analog interface module:
Step 1
Connect an ASCII terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software to the console port on the supervisor engine.
Step 2
Choose a slot for the new FXS analog interface module. Ensure that you have enough clearance to accommodate any interface equipment that you will connect directly to the module ports. If possible, place modules between empty slots that contain only module filler plates.
Step 3
Remove the module from its antistatic packaging.
Step 4
Guide the module into the slot, aligning the sides of the module with the guides in the slot (see Figure 4). Avoid touching the components on the board.
Figure 4 Installing the FXS Module in the Chassis
Step 5
While keeping the module oriented horizontally, carefully slide it into the slot until its front panel contacts the ejector levers (see Figure 3).
Step 6
Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, simultaneously push the left lever and the right lever in to seat the module all the way into the backplane connector.
CautionAlways use the ejector levers when installing or removing modules. A module that is partially seated in the backplane causes the system to halt.
Step 7
Use a screwdriver to tighten the captive installation screws on the left and right sides of the module (see Figure 3).
Step 8
Check the status of the module as follows:
a.
After the module has booted and run diagnostics, ensure that the module Status LED is green (module operational).
b.
Enter the show module command at the Cat6000> prompt to verify that the system acknowledges the new module and reports it as ok in the screen display.
Connecting a Cable to the 24-Port FXS Analog Interface Module Port
CautionIf the symbol of suitability with an overlaid cross (cross-hockey sticks symbol) appears above a port, you must not connect the port to a public network that follows the European Union standards. Connecting the port to this type of public network can cause severe injury or damage your switch.
Use a standard RJ-21 Category 5 telco connector and cable to connect to the RJ-21 connector. Two types of RJ-21 connectors are shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6. A pinout for the module's RJ-21 connector is provided in Table 6.
