Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8100 Series Hardware

About Telephony Configurations for E1 and T1 PRI Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Systems

Connecting E1 or T1 PRI Telephony Cables with One Multi Access Blade MP-MA-16-PRI

To Connect the E1 or T1 PRI Telephony Cables with One Multi Access Blade MP-MA-16-PRI

Step 1 Locate the following items shipped with the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server:

E1 or T1 PRI telephony cables.

Breakout box, which should already be mounted above the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server)

Trunk card interface cable assemblies (50-pin Amphenol cables).

Step 2 Attach the far end of the first E1 or T1 PRI telephony cable to the equipment that will connect with Cisco Unified MeetingPlace.

In many cases, the other equipment has an RJ-48c socket in which to plug the E1 or T1 PRI telephony cable. Alternately, the other equipment will be connected to a punchdown block. In this case, you will need to determine the block’s connection diagram and then connect to it with discrete wires from the cable.

Step 3 Plug the other end of the first E1 or T1 PRI telephony cable into the RJ-45 jack, labeled 1, on the far left of the front of the breakout box. Continue from left to right as needed. See Figure 2-13.

Figure 2-13 Breakout Box (Front View)

Step 4 Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 until all the E1 or T1 PRI telephony cables are connected to the breakout box.

Step 5 Connect the first trunk card cable assembly (50-pin Amphenol cable) to the back of the breakout box by securing the screws on both ends.

Looking at the back of the breakout box, the connector on the right of the breakout box is for spans

1 to 8, and the connector on the left of the breakout box is for spans 9 to 16. Place the first trunk card cable assembly into the connector on the right. See Figure 2-14.

Step 6 Connect the other end of the first trunk card cable assembly (50-pin Amphenol cable) into the Multi Access Blade transition module by securing the screws on both ends

For the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8106, the connector on the right of the Multi Access Blade transition module is for spans 1 to 8 and the connector on the left of the Multi Access Blade transition module is for spans 9 to 16. Place the first trunk card cable assembly into the connector on the right. See Figure 2-15.
