3-6 Preliminary November 23, 1998 MultiVoice Gateway for the MAX— User’s Guide
Setting Up the MultiVoice Gateway Hardware
Connecting to input power
Connecting to input power
Plug the power cord into your AC or DC power source. (Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5 display the
power sources, and Appendix C, “MultiVoice Gateway Technical Specifications,” lists input
power requirements.)
Connecting to the LAN
To connect to the LAN:
1 Connect your Ethernet LAN cable to the Ethernet interface on the MultiVoice Gateway.
Note: The MultiVoice Gateway has a 10Base-T (LAN UTE) Ethernet port. For the MAX
6000 MultiVoice Gateway, you will need an adapter if you have another type of Ethernet
LAN. On the MAX 4000 and MAX 2000, you may connect to a LAN using the Ethernet
AUI port.
Connecting the MultiVoice Gateway to the T1 Line
1 Connect the MultiVoice Gateway either directly to the T1/PRI line or through other
network interface equipment.
Note: To connect to the demarcation point, where the T1/PRI line’s metallic interface
connects to other equipment, the MultiVoice Gateway T1/PRI ports must be equipped
with internal CSUs. Otherwise, external CSUs or other network (WAN) interface
equipment must be installed between the MultiVoice Gateway and the demarcation point.
2 Inform your T1/PRI service provider that your equipment is connected, so they can bring
up the line.
Before you start up the MultiVoice Gateway, familiarize yourself with the LED indicator
lights. (See “Interpreting the MultiVoice Gateway LEDs” on page 3-7.)
Connecting the MultiVoice Gateway to the E1 Line
The MultiVoice Gateway can connect to any DPNSS access point on a Private Branch
Exchange (PBX) or directly to E1 digital services. Use a cable that is specifically constructed
for transmission of E1/PRI signals (CCITT G700 series recommended). The MultiVoice
Gateway can also connect to G.704 framed leased (non-switching) services for 75 Ohm lines.
(Use cable 2510-0272-001 with 75 Ohm E1 lines.)
Grounding
The screen (shield) of the transmit and receive coaxial cable must be earthed at one end of the
line only. Links (jumpers) inside the MultiVoice Gateway chassis earth the coaxial screens.
The default position of the grounding links on the network line interface, when used with
coaxial cable adapter, is on the transmit side (Tx) for 1680 Kbps network operations.
