Locate the four anti-slide grooves on the device's underside -- one in each of the four corners, as shown in the figure below: Figure 2-4: Location on Underside of Grooves for Rubber Feet 3. Peel off the adhesive, anti-slide rubber feet and stick one in each anti-slide groove. 4.
Mediant 600 2.3.2 19-Inch Rack Mounting The device can be installed in a standard 19-inch rack. Before installing it in the rack, ensure that you have a pre-installed rack shelf on which the device can be placed.
Installation Manual 2.4 2. Installing the Device Cabling the Device This section describes the cabling of the device. Electrical Earthing The device must be permanently connected to the earth using the screw provided on the rear panel. Use 14-16 AWG wire and a proper ring terminal for the earthing. ¾ To cable the device, take these steps: 1. Permanently earth (ground) the device (refer to 'Earthing (Grounding) the Device' on page 17). 2.
Mediant 600 2.4.1 Connecting to Earth (Ground) The device must be permanently connected to earth (ground), using an equipment-earthing conductor. Protective Earthing The equipment is classified as Class I EN60950 and UL60950 and must be earthed at all times. ¾ To earth the device: 2.4.2 1. Connect an electrically earthed strap of 16 AWG wire (minimum) to the chassis' earthing screw (located on the rear panel), using the supplied washer. 2.
Installation Manual 2.4.3 2. Installing the Device Connecting to E1/T1 Trunks The device supports up to two E1/T1 trunk interfaces, providing up to two RJ-48c ports. When implementing two trunks, the device can support PSTN Fallback, allowing trunks to connect to the PSTN during a power outage (i.e., no communication with the IP network). The device also supports fractional E1/T1. Warning: To protect against electrical shock and fire, use a 26 AWG min wire to connect T1 or E1 ports to the PSTN.
Mediant 600 2.4.4 Connecting E1/T1 Trunks for PSTN Fallback The device offers a PSTN Fallback feature when provided with two E1/T1 PRI spans. The digital module's Port II serves as a dedicated Fallback port connected to the PSTN. In the event of a power failure (i.e., no Ethernet link), a relay connects ports I and II by the closing of a metallic switch inside the module, re-routing trunk traffic from the PBX to the PSTN is established (instead of from the PBX to the IP network).
Installation Manual 2. Installing the Device ¾ To connect the BRI ports: 1. Connect the BRI cable to the device's BRI RJ-45 port. 2. Connect the other end of the cable to your ISDN telephone or PBX/PSTN switch. A BRI port can be configured either as TE (Termination Equipment/user side) or NT (Network Termination/network side).
Mediant 600 Notes: 2.4.7 • Damage can be caused to external equipment if PSTN Fallback is activated on two ports that are configured as user side. • Ensure that paired BRI ports (i.e., ports I and II, and ports III and IIII) are not identically configured (i.e., both user or both net side); otherwise, PSTN Fallback does not function. Connecting to FXS/FXO Interfaces The procedure below describes the cabling of the device's FXS and FXO module analog interfaces.
Installation Manual 2. Installing the Device ¾ To cable the FXS module's Lifeline: 1. Connect the Lifeline Splitter (supplied) to Port I on the device's FXS module. 2. Connect the Lifeline phone to Port A on the Lifeline Splitter. 3. Connect an analog PSTN line to Port B on the Lifeline Splitter. The Lifeline splitter connects pins 1 and 4 to another source of an FXS port, and pins 2 and 3 to the POTS phone, as shown in the figure below.
Mediant 600 2.4.9 Connecting to Dry Contact Relay Alarm System The dry contact ports I and II located on the device's CPU module, allows you to connect the device to an external audible or visual alarm system. The table below describes the operational status of these dry contact ports. Table 2-3: Dry Contact Operational Description Port Normal State Alarm Severity State I During normal operation, the dry contact is open. If a Major alarm is generated, the dry contact closes.
