Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8100 Series Hardware

Connecting the Cables to the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8100 Series

Step 3 Plug the other end of the LAN cable into Ethernet connection 1 on the CPU transition module that is located in the back of the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server.

Connecting T1 CAS Telephony Cables for a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8106

Each T1 Smart Blade transition module has connectors for four trunk lines in the back of the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server.

Looking at the back of the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8106, the T1 Smart Blade transition modules begin in slot 1 on the bottom and move up to the top. The cables go from right to left on the bottom slot, then from right to left on the second most bottom slot, and so on up to the top slot, where they continue going from right to left.

Table 2-1shows the order in which the cables should be placed.

The number of T1 CAS telephony cables that Cisco Systems ships with the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system depends on the number of ports being activated. Cisco Systems ships one T1 CAS telephony cable for every 24 ports.

Figure 2-8shows the cable connections for a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8106 with 576 T1 CAS ports. Four T1 CAS telephony cables connect to each of the six T1 Smart Blade transition modules for a total of 24 T1 CAS telephony cables. Each cable holds 24 ports for a total of 576 ports (24 x 24 = 576).
