Connecting the MGC-50 to the LAN Network

Connect one end of a network cable to the LAN connector on the rear panel of the MGC and the other end to the network.

Connecting the MGC-50 to the Operator Workstation (PC) Directly via RS-232 (Optional)

Connect one end of an RS-232 cable to the COM 2 connector on the front panel of the MGC Control Unit and the other end to the serial port of the operator station (See RS-232 Pin Assignment, A-3).

Connecting the MGC-50 to the Network

To connect the MGC-50 to the ISDN network and T1-CAS network:

This is an optional Network Interface Card. If the MGC-50 has to be connected to the public ISDN network then an external CSU or where required, 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. Repeat this step for each of the ISDN network lines to be connected to the Network Interface card installed in the MCU.
