Connecting Your Analog Phones; Connecting Analog Lines In The Correct Order; Vacant Phone Line Ports Will Cause Problems - Dell Fonality Installation Manual

5.2.1 Connecting your Analog Phones
WARNING! Please make sure that you review all documentation and pictures
before connecting any devices, or phone lines, to your Dell / Fonality Phone System as
you might damage your hardware if not done properly.
If you are using Analog phone lines, and you purchased a Dell bundle with an Analog port card,
please make sure to plug the custom analog cables that shipped with your Fonality Phone
System into the ports lighted RED. If you purchased an FXS port card bundle from Dell, and you
are plugging in your analog phones, overhead paging system, or a fax machine, please plug
these devices into GREEN ports only.

5.2.2 Connecting Analog Lines in the Correct Order!
When connecting analog phone lines to your system, you must connect them in reverse hunting
order. Connect your busiest incoming lines to your highest port numbers. The Fonality Phone
System dials out from the lowest port numbers first. Failure to connect your lines properly may
result in placing an outbound call at the same time an inbound call arrives.
5.2.3 Vacant Phone Line Ports will cause Problems
Do not leave any analog phone ports vacant. Problems will arise when you try to dial out if all other
lines are busy. You will hear your own voice echo back to you and your call will not connect. To
deactivate vacant ports, use the Options  cards page in the Fonality Admin Panel, or contact
Support by following the instructions outlined in Section 10.
