2 Installing Hardware for the G700 Media Gatew ay and S8300 Media Server: Installation and Cabling
Installation and Upgrades for G700 with S8300 or S8700

4. Veri f y t ha t:
- media modules: all LEDs are extinguished.

Note: If the initial administration of all media modules is not c ompleted, an alarm LED

will light.

- The master LED (labeled MSTR) or the system LED (labeled SYS) lights on one and only
one module in the stack.
- G700 Media Gateway: the green CPU LED is illuminated when both the P330 stack processor
(Layer 2 Switching Processor) and the G700 Media Gateway Processor (MGP) are in a
normal operational state.
The red ALM LED is illuminated whenever an alarm exists in the G700 Media Gateway
Processor. The ALM LED might signal either a hardware failure or a software or firmware
condition that could be cleared by resetting the processor. It will also be illuminated because the
license file for the S8300 has not yet been installed.
You have now completed the initial installation of the G700 Media Gateway.
S8300 LED Indicators
A set of LED indicators the faceplate of the S8300 are separate from those of the G700. A shutdown button
is also on the faceplate, which when depressed for about three seconds, will shut down the system, including
the operating software on the S8300. The LED flashes when shutdown is in progress and remains on steady
when it is safe to remove the S8300 or to power down.
The functions of the other LEDs are:
• The red Major Alarm indicator on the S8300 is off when the system is operational unless a Major
Alarm has been raised.
• The green Test LED on the S8300 is on when a test is in progress.
• The yellow ACT LED on the S8300 is on whenever a G700, an IP telephone, or an IP console is
registered with the S8300. It is off when none of these IP endpoints are registered.
• The green OK-to-Remove LED on the S8300 indicates that shutdown is complete and that it is safe
to remove the server or power down the system.
When the S8300 is a local survivable processor (LSP), no LEDs will be lit during normal operations. In case
of a network failure or loss of contact with the primary S8300 (or S8700), the G700 Media Gateway will
register with the LSP. At that time, the red Alarm LED will light.
When you first power up the S8300, the red Major Alarm LED will be lit. During startup, an LED test will
run, after which all LEDs will be off. At this point, you can connect to the S8300. There will be another
flash of LEDs when Communication Manager starts.
