Preface This guide explains how to install, configure, and maintain the Nortel Networks R2MFC Media Bay Module (R2MFC MBM). The guide also provides information about the Command Line Interface (CLI) tool used to configure, operate, administer and maintain the R2MFC MBM from a computer. Note: The CLI is separate from the Business Communications Manager (BCM) system configuration tool. The document contains the following chapters: Chapter 1, “Overview” — introduces the elements of the R2MFC MBM.

Chapter 1 Overview This chapter provides an overview of the R2MFC Media Bay Module (R2MFC MBM). This chapter includes the following information: • • • • “General information” “Administration and maintenance tools” “R2MFC MBM faceplate elements” on page 22 “R2MFC MBM back and underside elements” on page 24 General information The R2MFC MBM is a media bay module (MBM) that provides MFC-R2 connectivity over an E1 trunk.
Chapter 1 Overview External link configuration is performed using the DIP switches on the front of the R2MFC MBM or by using the CLI, which is accessed through a serial port on the faceplate of the R2MFC MBM. Internal link configuration is performed using Unified Manager. Refer to for information on how to use the configuration tools.
Chapter 1 Overview 23 System Status LEDs The R2MFC MBM has three visual status monitor indicators on the left side of the faceplate. They are: • • • Power LED — This green LED indicates the status of power to the R2MFC MBM. In Service LED — This green LED indicates the status of the E1 signal coming to the R2MFC MBM from the BCM. Diag LED — This red LED indicates if the R2MFC MBM is in a diagnostic or loopback mode. Config DIP switches The R2MFC MBM has six config DIP switches on its faceplate.
Chapter 1 Overview RS232 port There is an RJ-45 serial port connector named RS232 on the faceplate of the R2MFC MBM. The N0026100 cable, shipped with the R2MFC MBM, is used to connect a computer to the RS232 port for advanced configuration or for CLI-based diagnostics of the R2MFC MBM. Appendix D, “CLI Cable Pinout,” on page 105 shows the pinout information to make a new N0026100 cable. E1 Status LEDs The R2MFC MBM has four visual status monitor indicators in the middle section of the faceplate.
Chapter 1 Overview 25 Figure 4 on page 25 shows the placement of the power connectors. Figure 4 R2MFC MBM back MBM DIP switches There are DIP switches located on the underside of the R2MFC MBM. These DIP switches are used to select the DS30 buses from the DS256 bus. These DIP switches must be set before the R2MFC MBM is installed. Figure 5 shows the location of the DIP switches.

Chapter 2 Preparing to install the R2MFC MBM This chapter provides an overview of the preparation required to install the R2MFC MBM in a host system. (The host system is the BCM system to which the R2MFC MBM connects.) The information in this chapter is based on the following assumptions: • The host system is installed, initialized, and tested. • The installer has a working knowledge of the host system and an understanding of telecommunications.
Chapter 2 Preparing to install the R2MFC MBM Figure 6 provides an overview of the R2MFC MBM installation preparation. Figure 6 Overview of the R2MFC MBM installation preparation Table 1 describes the tasks that must be completed on the host system before proceeding with the installation of the R2MFC MBM.
Chapter 2 Preparing to install the R2MFC MBM 29 This section provides the following information about the setup requirements for the R2MFC MBM: • “Config DIP switches” • “MBM DIP switches” • “Environment checklist” • “Software requirements” on page 30 • “Electrical requirements” on page 30 Config DIP switches Determine and set the Config DIP switches to the correct country code, and second dial tone setting for the R2MFC MBM. Predefined country codes are set by the Config DIP switches.
