TCM Port (RJ21) Pinout

TCM ports are found on IP500 Digital Station 16A/30A external expansion modules, and supported by IP500 V2 systems running IP Office Release 7.0 and higher. TCM ports are used for supported M-Series and T-Series digital stations. Also used for 4100 and 7400 Series phone support by connection to a Digital Mobility Solution system.

Cable lengths up to 305 m (1000 ft) using 0.5mm (24AWG) wires do not require a power booster. For TCM phones, lengths up to 790 m (2600 ft) are supported if an auxiliary power supply booster is used.
