Installing and configuring a Voice Gateway Media Card Page 339 of 488

Optionally, you can connect a maintenance terminal to the maintenance port on the Voice Gateway Media Card, to see the Voice Gateway Media Card’s boot messages or to perform maintenance on it. See “Connecting CS 1000E system components” on page 103 for more detail.

1Install the Voice Gateway Media Card into the card slot.

a.Pull the top and bottom locking devices away from the card faceplate.

b.Insert the Voice Gateway Media Card into the card guides and gently push it until it makes contact with the backplane connector.

c.Hook the locking devices.

Note: The Voice Gateway Media Card boots automatically. If the Voice Gateway Media Card is a Follower, then it retrieves the node configuration files from the IP telephony node Leader. If it is a Leader, then you must configure it. See IP Line: Description, Installation, and Operation (553-3001-365) for a detailed configuration procedure.

2Observe the Voice Gateway Media Card faceplate display.

The red LED remains lit until the card is configured and enabled, at which point it turns off. When the card has finished booting, the display is either “Fxxx” or “Lxxx” (where xxx is the number of telephones registered to the card), indicating that the card is a Follower or Leader.

3If required, you can now perform maintenance on the card using Element Manager, or through the card’s maintenance port if you connected a maintenance terminal to it. See IP Line: Description, Installation, and Operation (553-3001-365) for detailed maintenance procedures.
