If the minimum VoIP network requirements are not met, the system will not operate properly. For information on the minimum VoIP network requirements and converging a data network with VoIP, refer to Converging the Data Network with VoIP (NN43001-260).
Description 17 Figure 1 NTAK11 Cabinet The Cabinet system can be expanded using either fiber or IP connectivity, or a mixture of both. Refer to "Fiber-optic and IP expansion" (page 33) for more information. A fully expanded Cabinet system can support up to 720 lines or up to 1000 IP Phones. Note: When the term "Main" is used on its own, it refers to a Main Cabinet. When the term "Expansion" is used on its own, it refers to an Expansion Cabinet.
Description and features Figure 2 Circuit card assignments in the Main Cabinet Power Two types of power supply are available for the Cabinet system: • NTDK70 AC power supply • NTDK72 DC power supply (when the Cabinet is powered by a -52 V DC source) In addition, the Cabinet system supports three types of reserve power: • NTAK75 battery box, which provides a minimum of two hours of reserve DC power • NTAK76 battery box, which provides a minimum of 15 minutes of reserve DC power • Uninterruptible
Description 19 When the main power is cut off to the system, optional Power Failure Transfer Units (PFTU) connect predetermined analog (500/2500-type) telephones directly to the Central Office (CO) trunks. The PFTU supports five to eight telephones, depending on the PFTU used. Chassis system The Meridian 1 PBX 11C Chassis is a small digital communication system that consists of a Chassis plus an optional Chassis Expander. Two copper cables connect the Chassis Expander to the Chassis.
Description and features A Main with Expander supports eight physical and ten logical card slots. In a fully expanded system consisting of five Main and Expander pairs, a total of 40 physical and 50 logical card slots are supported. Figure 3 "Circuit card assignments in the Chassis" (page 20) shows the circuit card assignments in the Main Chassis. Figure 4 "Circuit card assignments in the Chassis Expander" (page 21) shows the circuit card assignments in the Expander.
Description 21 Figure 4 Circuit card assignments in the Chassis Expander The following is an example of a common Main Chassis configuration: • one SSC card in slot 0 • one analog line card in slot 1, 2, or 3 • one digital trunk card in slot 1, 2, or 3 • one analog trunk card in slot 1, 2, or 3 • one NTDK16, 48-port Digital Line Card in slot 4 The following is an example of a common Chassis Expander configuration: • line cards in slots 7, 8, and 9 • Meridian Mail in slot 10 Power The Univers
Description and features When the main power is cut off to the system, optional PFTUs connect predetermined analog (500/2500-type) telephones directly to the CO trunks. The PFTU supports five to eight telephones, depending on the PFTU used. Memory, processing, and data storage Small Systems use a Motorola 68040 CP with VxWorks operating system.
Memory, processing, and data storage 23 SSC card and components The NTDK20 SSC card controls call processing, stores system and customer data, and provides various expansion interfaces.
Description and features The following software components operate on the Signaling Server: • "Terminal Proxy Server" (page 24) (TPS) • "SIP/H.323 Signaling Gateways" (page 24) • "Network Routing Service" (page 25) (NRS) • "Element Manager" (page 25) All the software elements can coexist on one Signaling Server or reside individually on separate Signaling Servers, depending on traffic and redundancy requirements for each element. For more information about H.
Memory, processing, and data storage 25 Network Routing Service The Network Routing Service (NRS) application provides network-based routing, combining the following into a single application: • H.323 Gatekeeper — The H.323 Gatekeeper provides central dialing plan management and routing for H.323-based endpoints and gateways. • SIP Redirect Server — The SIP Redirect Server provides central dialing plan management and routing for SIP-based endpoints and gateways.
Description and features Element Manager has many features to help administrators manage systems with greater efficiency. Examples are as follows: • Web pages provide a single point-of-access to parameters that were traditionally available through multiple overlays. • Parameters are presented in logical groups to increase ease-of-use and speed-of-access. • The "hide or show information" option enables administrators to see information that relates directly to the task at hand.
Installation and configuration 27 The Signaling Server for a CS 1000M Small System is installed separately. Refer to Signaling Server: Installation and Configuration (NN43001-312) for more information. The Software Installation Program is automatically invoked during first-time installation of the system. This menu-driven program installs the software and makes the system operational. Preprogrammed data When you first install the system, you must enter customer data into the overlay programs.
Description and features Meridian Mail Meridian Mail comes preconfigured with preprogrammed extensions for mailboxes. If the numbering plan is being modified, then the mailboxes can be changed from any TTY used for system administration. Set-Based Administration The Set-Based Administration feature simplifies system installation and administration by enabling a telephone to perform several administrative and maintenance procedures.
Data backup and restore methods 29 Refer to Communication Server 1000M and Meridian 1: Small System Upgrade Procedures (NN43011-458) and Communication Server 1000M and Meridian 1: Small System Maintenance (NN43011-700) for additional information.
Description and features If data becomes corrupt or inoperable, you can restore backed up data to the main database and primary flash drive from one of the following: • external PC Card drive • backup flash drive • computer over a modem connection For more information about database backup and restore methods, refer to Communication Server 1000M and Meridian 1: Small System Maintenance (NN43011-700).
The Small System as a branch office 31 Survivable IP expansion IP Expansions can be configured to be survivable in the event of a link failure or a catastrophic failure of the Main. Based on the system configuration, if IP connectivity to the Main is lost or a manual command is issued, an IP Expansion can enter survival mode, in which it acts as a fully functional "stand-alone" system.
