Setting Up the MultiVoice Gateway Hardware
Planning the hardware installation
• A VT100 terminal or a workstation with an Ethernet interface and communications
software that supports VT100 emulation.
• One or more active BRI lines, if applicable.
Note: Currently, MultiVoice for the MAX does not support BRI lines on the MAX 2000.
• Any expansion modules that were shipped separately.
Guidelines for installing MultiVoice Gateway units in a rack
Figure 3-1 shows an example of MultiVoice Gateway units installed in a rack.
Figure 3-1. MultiVoice Gateway units installed in a rack
• Leave approximately four inches of vertical space between MultiVoice Gateway units.
The space allows for air flow between units and leaves room for handling the units if they
need to be removed.
• Leave approximately 1 foot between the racks of MultiVoice Gateway units for air flow
dissipation.
• Stair step MultiVoice Gateway in adjacent open racks, as shown in Figure 3-1, so that hot
air from one unit is not being blown into an adjacent unit. The intake fans are on the right
(as viewed from the front). The exhaust fans are on the left.
• Ensure adequate cooling in the room.
• You should install racks with open sides because the MultiVoice Gateway fans vent on the
side of the unit. If you use enclosed racks:
– Make sure that there are openings to the air conditioning system in the floor beneath
each cabinet.
– Exhaust fans at the top of the cabinet can provide substantial cooling. At a minimum,
however, the cabinets should be ventilated at the top.
