Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8100 Series Hardware

Connecting the Cables to the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8100 Series

To Connect the T1 CAS Telephony Cables for a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8106

Step 1 Locate the T1 CAS telephony cables that shipped with the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system. Each T1 CAS telephony cable has an RJ-48 connector on each end.

Step 2 Plug one end of the first T1 CAS telephony cable into the socket.

Step 3 Plug the other end of the first T1 CAS telephony cable into the T1 Smart Blade transition module in the back of the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8106. Place the first T1 CAS telephony cable in the slot nearest the right edge. (See Table 2-1.)

Step 4 Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 until all the T1 CAS telephony cables are connected:

a.Place the second T1 CAS telephony cable in the second connector slot from the right.

b.Place the third T1 CAS telephony cable in the third connector slot from the right.

c.Place the fourth T1 CAS telephony cable in the fourth connector slot from the right.

Step 5 Install tie wraps and label the T1 CAS telephony cables as needed.

Connecting T1 CAS Telephony Cables for a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8112

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 Audio Server, the T1 Smart Blade transition modules begin in slot 1 on the right and move to the left. The cables go from top to bottom in the right most slot, then from top to bottom in the second most right slot, and so on to the left most slot, where they continue going from top to bottom.

Table 2-2shows the order in which the cables should be placed. Note that slots 7 to 10 are reserved.

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 2-9shows the cable connections for a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8112 with 1,152 T1 CAS ports. Four T1 CAS telephony cables connect to each of the 12 T1 Smart Blade transition modules for a total of 48 T1 CAS telephony cables. Each cable holds 24 ports for a total of 1,152 ports

(48 x 24 = 1,152).
