Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8100 Series Hardware

Installing and Connecting the Modem

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 Audio Server.

For the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8106, place the first T1 CAS telephony cable in the left most connector slot. Place the second T1 CAS telephony cable in the next connector slot moving to the right, and so on.

For the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8112, place the first T1 CAS telephony cable in the topmost connector slot. Place the second T1 CAS telephony cable in the next connector slot moving down, and so on.

You can connect a maximum of four T1 CAS telephony cables to any one T1 Smart Blade transition module.

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

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

Step 6 Attach the far end of the IP LAN cable to the RJ-45 socket of the switch or other network equipment.

Step 7 Plug the other end of the IP LAN cable into the Ethernet 1 connector on the Multi Access Blade transition module.

Step 8 If your configuration uses two Multi Access Blades, repeat Step 6 and Step 7.

Installing and Connecting the Modem

To Install and Connect the Modem

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

Modem.

Modem cable.

Modem power cable.

Phone extension cable.

Step 2 If you have a T1 CAS or a pure IP Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system, place the modem on the back right corner of the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server. The modem cable connections must face the back of the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server. Do not move the modem from this space.

If you have a T1 PRI or an E1 Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system, place the modem into the empty slot on the far left of the breakout box. See Figure 2-14. Do not move the modem from this space.

Step 3 Confirm that the modem power switch is in the off position. The modem power switch is on the side of the modem.

Step 4 Looking at the back of the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server, connect the modem power cable to the far left position on the back of the modem.

Step 5 Connect the other end of the modem power cable into the power outlet.

Step 6 Looking at the back of the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server, connect the phone extension cable to the far right position on the back of the modem, labeled “Line.” Two RJ-11 connectors are on the modem. Place this cable in the far right connector.
