Swiss and German Modular Cable Assembly


BN : AXS-018 March 19, 1996

The pin locations of the PTT dial tone of Swiss and German telephone line cords are different that what is required for the AXS dialer. The standard pin outs for both countries is 2 and 3 at the modular plug end. However, the AXS dialer requires dial tone to be input on pins 3 and 4 of the trunk jack. The output of the dial tone is on pins 3 and 4 of the Drop jack of the dialer . However, the telephones require the dial tone on pins 2 and 3.

Swiss and German Modular ----- Plug AXS Modular Plug (North America)

Note: 'a' and 'b' designations correspond to North American 'Tip' and 'Ring'

We are having 2 telephone adapter cords built that will provide these conversions. One of the adapter cables will be a cable of approximately 6" that will have a modular plug, that will go into the dialer's Line jack, and a receptacle on the other that the domestic line cord from the PTT jack plugs into. This cable will move the dial tone from pins 2 and 3 to 3 and 4 for input into the AXS. The second cable will be a standard 7' cable with modular plugs on both ends. One end will be configured as a North American cable, dial tone output on pins 3 and 4, which will plug into the dialer's Drop jack. The other end will be configured so that dial tone will be on pins 2 and 3, which is to be plugged into the telephone.
