Topic: Nortel 6x16/ ATA 2

I have a question as to a nortel ATA 2 there 5 empty pairs on the 25 pair cable for the nortel 6x16. Do you connect the ATA to the empty leads ?

An ATA unit is connected just like any digital Phone - To a working digital port extension.
It acts like a Digital phone but gives a phone jack out for an Analog device.
Like a fax or Modem, or a Plain Old Analog Phone.
It will be one of the 16 working ports.

Thank you for your answer on this, I came to find out, that though using the ATA2 an ITT 500 will dial on a VoIP type of setup.
