MGC Hardware and Installation Manual
Connecting the MGC-100 to the Network
To connect the MGC-100 to the ISDN network or T1-CAS Network:
The ISDN network is optional. If the MGC-100 has to be connected to the public ISDN network then an external CSU or similar equipment is needed.
T1-CAS network is optional. It allows you to connect Audio Only participants to conferences via T1-CAS lines. It uses the same network connections as ISDN and the procedure described below is applicable to both ISDN and T1-CAS lines.
•Connect the 8-pin RJ-45 connector of the network cable to the NET RJ-45 jack on the rear panel of the MGC-100. Repeat this step for each of the ISDN network lines to be connected to the Network Interface card installed in the MCU.
ISDN network | ISDN Network connection | ISDN Network connection |
connection | for 4 spans | for 8 spans |

Leased lines should be connected using an adapter with a screw connector with solid conductor wires or a similar adapter.
•Connect one side of the adapter to the NET RJ-45 jack on the rear panel of the MGC-100. Then connect the leased line wires to the other side of the adapter.
The ISDN and T1-CAS network properties must be defined in the Network Services. For details, see the MGC Administrator’s Guide, Chapter 3.
