Installation
4.5.1 Module Handling and General Installation
The following paragraphs provide general and common installation and wiring practices and
procedures for all Modules. Procedures such as LAN wiring are common for all Module LAN ports
and are discussed here. Prior to installation of any Module, it is recommended the installer be
thoroughly familiar with the information in this section.
Modules must be installed in a Wall Mount Holder, Desk Holder or the cabinet for
proper ventilation. Do not stack Modules or limit airflow as this may cause over-
heating, leading to pre-mature failure and/or faulty operation of the equipment.
4.5.1.1
Module Installation Sequence
A
SEQUENCE NUMBER
is assigned to all gateway Modules based on the order of registration with
the system, refer to the
iPECS Admin & Program Manual
for further details. This
SEQUENCE
NUMBER
determines the logical CO Line and station numbers assigned in the system database.
The system does not differentiate between the types of PSTN Module during initialization. Thus,
an LGCM4 installed 1
st
is assigned
SEQUENCE NUMBER
01 with CO Line ports 1~4, a DIDM8
installed 2
nd
is assigned CO Line ports 5~12 and another LGCM4 installed 3
rd
is assigned CO
Line ports 13~16.
Although the
SEQUENCE NUMBER
in the database can be changed, connecting the gateway
Modules to the iPECS in the desired sequence based on type of Module is recommended. The
Module
SEQUENCE NUMBER
can be easily established at installation by controlling the order of
connection of the Module’s LAN port to the system (LAN switch connected to the MFIM’s LAN 1
port).
Station numbers are also assigned consecutively based on the order of connection to the system.
Since the first phone installed is assigned as the Admin Station (station number 100), it is
recommended an LIP Phone be connected to the system prior to installing any SLT gateway
Module.
4.5.1.2
Module
Insertion/Removal
Modules are easily inserted into the cabinet; place the Module with front panel forward in the
desired slot in the cabinet and slide the Module into the cabinet, engaging the connectors of the
back plane and Module.
To remove a Module from the cabinet, pull on the Release knob while sliding the Module out of
the cabinet. Refer to Figure 4.5.1.2-1.
