is off or not functioning correctly, the RSM breakout assembly
automatically bypasses Meridian Mail and allows the PMS and
the Meridian 1 PBX to communicate directly. Below the LED is
a switch that allows you to manually bypass Meridian Mail.
As seen in “Hospitality system cables” on page 7-6, you can run
one of two voice cables from the RSM breakout assembly: a
male-to-male or a male-to-bare wire if you have a BIX pack or a
similar modular distribution frame. The male-to-male voice
cable connects the RSM breakout assembly to a BIX Pack. The
male-to-bare wire voice cable must be wired to a BIX or similar
modular distribution frame according to the instructions in the
tables on the following pages. Additionally, you can use the new
fan-out cable.
The hotel’s PMS
The instructions you use to wire the hotel’s PMS to the BIX
pack depend on how the PMS is configured. Refer to the
documentation for the product.
For DTE configurations, use “Wiring for DTE PMS systems”
on page 7-7.
For DCE configurations, use “Wiring for DCE PMS systems”
on page 7-8.
In each table, the columns on the left are for the wires from the

For cables exceeding 17 m (50 ft) in length, short haul modems
are required. Inmac asynchronous line drivers (#8125) are
recommended.
