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 theE1 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 first breakout
box for the first MP-MA-16-PRI. For the second MP-MA-16-PRI, repeat
Step 2
and
Step 3
to connect
the second set of 16 E1 or T1 PRI telephony cables to the second breakout box.
Step 5
Connect the trunk card cable assemblies (50-pin Amphenol cable) for the first MP-MA-16-PRI to the
back of the first breakout box by securing the screws on both ends.
Looking at the back of the 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
MP-MA-16-PRI into the Multi Access Blade transition module by securing the screws on both ends.
Place the trunk card cable assembly into the connector on the bottom, labeled spans 9 to 16.
Step 7
Repeat
Step 5
and
Step 6
for the second trunk card cable assembly (50-pin Amphenol cable) for the first
MP-MA-16-PRI.
The second trunk card cable assembly should go into the connector on the left side of the breakout box
and on the right side of the Multi Access Blade, in the connector labeled spans 9 to 16.
Step 8
Repeat
Step 5
through
Step 7
for the trunk card cable assemblies (50-pin Amphenol cables) for the
second MP-MA-16-PRI.
About Telephony Configurations for IP Cisco Unified
MeetingPlace Systems
Pure IP Cisco Unified MeetingPlace systems are configurations that use only IP functionality and do not
use any T1 CAS, T1 PRI, or E1 functionality.
Note
Pure IP Cisco Unified MeetingPlace systems do not use a breakout box.
Cisco Systems ships the necessary number of IP LAN cables with the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio
Server. The number of IP LAN cables that you receive depends on the number of Multi Access Blades
in the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system. You receive one IP LAN cable for every Multi Access Blade.
Looking at the back of the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8106, the Multi Access Blade transition modules
for IP configurations begin in slot 6 on the top and move down to the bottom. The Smart Blades begin
from the bottom in slot 1. They do not have any cables connected to them.
Looking at the back of the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8112, the Multi Access Blade transition modules
for IP configurations begin in slot 16 on the left and move to the right. The Smart Blades begin in slot 1
and move to the left. They do not have any cables connected to them.
