Connecting CS 1000E system components Page 109 of 488

Note: The MG1000E can be connected directly to the CS1000E ELAN subnet, or it can be connected to the ELAN subnet through a Layer 3 switch.

End of Procedure

Dual Homed connection

An MG 1000E can optionally be connected to a second BayStack 470 to provide a ‘Dual Homed’ connection to the network so that the Media Gateway remains operational in the event of a failure of the first BayStack 470 used for the ELAN subnet connection. Logical port 4 of the Dual Port IP daughterboard (NTDK83) provides a connection to the second BayStack 470 providing an alternate connection to the network in the event of a failure of the primary BayStack 470 used for the logical port 2 connection. Refer to Figure 32 for a sample configuration.
