Step 4. Establish a Phone Line Connection

  • To connect your “dialer” equipment 3 to the POTS Adapter, it requires a cable with an RJ11 connector at one end and another connector that is compatible with the “dialer” equipment at the other end.

  • Plug the RJ11 connector into the “phone” port on the POTS Adapter. This allows the “dialer” equipment to communicate through the phone line service over VoLTE.

3 A “dialer” equipment refers to all standard POTS equipment which includes but is not limited to fire alarm control panels(FACP), security system alarm panels, elevator emergency phones, gate access phones or intercoms, fax machines, and office telephones.

Warning: Do not connect the RJ-11 phone port of the POTS adapter directly from the wall jack with active voltage. This will damage the device permanently. The “phone” port is only to be connected to a phone device or main console.

Step 5. Power Connection

  • POTS Adapter can be powered up with a single source of a 4-Pin Micro-Fit Connector or a USB-C (5V@1A) power supply.

  • In case of an unforeseen power outage, a dual power setup is recommended for redundancy.

    • 4 The POTS Adapter utilizes the Remote Network Driver Interface Specification (RNDIS) to establish a connection with the WEB-based user interface. The RNDIS driver creates a virtual Ethernet link on your computer. Ensure that the RNDIS driver is installed on your computer. Please note that the RNDIS driver is available for Windows OS and Linux OS only. MacOS is not supported.
