Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8100 Series Hardware
About Telephony Configurations for E1 and T1 PRI Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Systems
Step 2
Attach the far end of the first E1 or T1 PRI telephony cable to the equipment that will connect with Cisco
Unified MeetingPlace.
In many cases, the other equipment has an RJ-48c socket in which to plug the E1 or T1 PRI telephony
cable. Alternately, the other equipment will be connected to a punchdown block. In this case, you will
need to determine the block’s connection diagram and then connect to it with discrete wires from the
cable.
Step 3
Plug the other end of the first E1 or T1 PRI telephony cable into the RJ-45 jack, labeled 1, on the far left
of the front of the breakout box.
Step 4
Repeat
Step 2
and
Step 3
until all the E1 or T1 PRI telephony cables are connected to the breakout box.
Place the second, third, and fourth E1 or T1 PRI telephony cables, which correspond to the
MP-MA-4-PRI, into the RJ-45 jacks labeled 2, 3, and 4. Place the remaining 16 E1 or T1 PRI telephony
cables, which correspond to the MP-MA-16-PRI, into the 16 RJ-45 jacks on the front of the second
breakout box. Start with the RJ-45 jack on the left and continue to the right.
Note
The RJ-45 jacks labeled 5 to 16 in the first breakout box remain empty.
Step 5
Connect the trunk card cable assembly (50-pin Amphenol cable) for the first Multi Access Blade (the
MP-MA-4-PRI) to the back of the first breakout box by securing the screws on both ends.
Looking at the back of the first breakout box, place the first trunk card cable assembly into the connector
on the right.
Step 6
Connect the other end of the trunk card cable assembly (50-pin Amphenol cable) for the first
Multi Access Blade (the MP-MA-4-PRI) into the Multi Access Blade transition module by securing the
screws on both ends.
Place the 50-pin Amphenol cable into the connector on the bottom, labeled spans 9 to 16.
Step 7
Repeat
Step 5
and
Step 6
for the trunk card cable assembly (50-pin Amphenol cable) for the second
Multi Access Blade (the MP-MA-16-PRI).
Place the first trunk card cable assembly into the connector on the left side of the breakout box and on
the top of the Multi Access Blade, in the connector labeled spans 1 to 8. Place the second trunk card
cable assembly into the connector on the right side of the breakout box and on the bottom of the Multi
Access Blade, in the connector labeled spans 9 to 16.
