E1/T1 Cable Pinouts
The E1/T1 ports on your A108 telephony card are unique in that there are 2 E1/T1 ports per RJ45 connector.
This is made possible by utilizing the 4 empty pins that are not used on a standard E1/T1.
Your Sangoma card is shipped with 4 E1/T1 Y cables. The single end plugs into a port on your Sangoma card, where the other end splits into two connectors, each a single E1/T1.
The cables are labels N and N+4 to help you identify the E1s.
Below is a pinout of the Y-cable shipped with your card. It is a straight through cable connection:
If you require a cross-over y-cable, contact sangoma for a set of cables.
Below are the pinouts for the cross-over y-cable, in case you require to create your own cross over cables.
