GETTING STARTED
STEP 1: Connect Phone (standard POTS handset) or Ethernet VoIP Phone to Terminal
Unit (TU).
The TU front has a main power button, one RJ-14 port for POTS (Plain Old Telephone
Service), three PoE (Power over Ethernet) RJ-45 ports for VoIP phones or Computers,
and one WAN (Wide Area Network) port. Refer to Figure 3-1 for location of ports.
Figure 3-1 Terminal Unit (TU) Front Panel Detail
POTS Phone connection
By default, the POTS Phone(s) are pre-configured to use the Iridium voice lines without
any additional configuration.
The TU can accept up to two (2) POTS Phones connected with a RJ-14 Splitter (not
provided). Using a RJ-14 Splitter, the two POTS phones can each have a separate phone
line (not two phones using the same phone line). Note that single, molded plastic piece
RJ-14 Splitters (triplex jacks) will not fit into the POTS phone jack. It is recommended
that a POTS Splitter be used that includes a short phone cord that fits into the TU POTS
connector.
VoIP or Thales SureLINK IP Phone connection
By default the TU has three (3) extensions preconfigured for use with POTS phones,
VoIP phones, or Thales SureLINK IP Handsets, as shown in Table 3-1.
If using a VoIP phone, Thales recommends CISCO SPA504G and Grand Stream
GXP2140 models for use with Thales MissionLINK. Other brands and models may work
but have not been tested by Thales.
