Mounting the Breakout Box for T1 PRI and E1 Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Systems
Note If the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system does not require a breakout box (T1 PRI or E1 configuration),

skip to the “Connecting the Power Cable to the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8100 Series” section on

page 2-11.

The breakout box provides a standard RJ-45 telephony interface. The breakout box interfaces to a

maximum of 16 cables with an MP-MA-16-PRI and a maximum of 4 cables with each MP-MA-4-PRI.

Cisco Systems ships the necessary number of RJ-48c cables to connect each breakout box to your PBX

or Telco NIU with each Multi Access Blade.

Note In some cases, the RJ-48c cables provided by Cisco Systems may not be appropriate for your PBX or

NIU side connections. If this is the case, create your own custom cables, which require an RJ-48c

connector on the breakout box side. (For custom-cable requirements, see the “E1 Digital Trunk

Requirements for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Systems” section on page 1-10.)

Cisco Systems also ships the necessary number of 50-pin Amphenol cables with the breakout box: two

50-pin Amphenol cables to connect each MP-MA-16-PRI to the breakout box and one 50-pin Amphenol

cable to connect each MP-MA-4-PRI to the breakout box.

If the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system requires two MP-MA-16-PRIs, you need two breakout boxes.

(A fully loaded 960-port E1 Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system and a fully loaded 736-port T1 PRI

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system have two MP-MA-16-PRIs.)

Note Only the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8112 can have two breakout boxes.
