Chapter 5: Preparing the Mediant
Gateway for Initial Configuration
The Mediant Gateway must be configured with a direct connection to a provisioning computer
before being connected to the LAN.
Insert the T1/E1 Module
The T1/E1 module is shipped separately and must be installed. Clear Kapton tape covers the
gold edge of the module and protects the module’s BUS line. It must be removed before the
module is inserted into the chassis.
Warning: Remove the Kapton tape
If the Kapton tape is not removed, the module will not function and irreversible
damage may be caused to the chassis.
Installing the T1 module into slot one:
1 Ensure the Kapton tape is removed.
2 On the device's front panel, using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the black metal cover
plate protecting the module slot.
3 Insert the required module into the empty slot (use slots 1-5 for the T1 module), aligning
the module with the rails in the slot in the following module orientation depending on
whether you are inserting it in the top- or bottom-row slots:
○ Top-row slots: ensure that the module is orientated such that the port number labels are
located at the bottom of the module's front panel. This module orientation is considered
as facing up.
