Each abbreviation, unless widely used, is spelled out in full when first used. Only industrystandard terms are used throughout this manual. Hexadecimal notation is indicated by 0x preceding the number.
Where "network" appears in this manual, it means LAN, WAN, etc. accessed via the gateway's Ethernet interface.
FXO (Foreign Exchange Office) is the interface replacing the analog telephone and connects to a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) line from the Central Office (CO) or to a Private Branch Exchange (PBX). The FXO is designed to receive line voltage and ringing current, supplied from the CO or the PBX (just like an analog telephone). An FXO VoIP gateway interfaces between the CO/PBX line and the Internet.
FXS (Foreign Exchange Station) is the interface replacing the Exchange (i.e., the CO or the PBX) and connects to analog telephones, dial-up modems, and fax machines. The FXS is designed to supply line voltage and ringing current to these telephone devices. An FXS VoIP gateway interfaces between the analog telephone devices and the Internet.
WARNING:
Ensure that you connect FXS ports to analog telephone or to PBX-trunk lines only and FXO ports to Central Office (CO)/PBX lines only.
The V7111 is supplied as a sealed unit and must only be installed or serviced by qualified service personnel.

This section provides information on the installation procedure for the V7111 (see Installing the V7111) and the V7111 24-PORT. For information on configuring the gateway, see Chapter 3: Configuring the V7111.
WARNING:
The V7111 is supplied as a sealed unit and must only be installed and serviced by qualified service personnel.
Units providing power sockets with three pins must be connected by service personnel to a socket-outlet with a protective earthing connection.
To install the V7111, follow these 4 steps:
1Unpack the V7111 (see Unpacking).
2Check the package contents (see Package Contents).
3Mount the V7111 (see Mounting the V7111).
4Cable the V7111 (see Cabling the V7111).
After connecting the V7111 to the power source, the Ready and Power LEDs on the front panel turn to green (after a self-testing period of about 2 minutes). Any malfunction in the startup procedure changes the Fail LED to red and the Ready LED is turned off (see Table10 for details on the V7111 LEDs).
When you have completed the above relevant sections you are then ready to start configuring the gateway (see Chapter 3: Configuring the V7111).
To unpack the V7111, follow these 6 steps:
1Open the carton and remove the packing materials.
2Remove the V7111 gateway from the carton.
3Check that there is no equipment damage.
4Check, retain and process any documents.

CAUTION: Rack Mount Safety Instructions (UL)
When installing the chassis in a rack, be sure to implement the following Safety instructions recommended by Underwriters Laboratories:
•Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
•Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation on the equipment is not compromised.
•Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
•Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
•Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips.)
The V7111 24-PORT is installed into a standard 19-inch rack by the addition of two short (equal-length) supplied brackets. The V7111 24-PORT with brackets for rack installation is shown in Figure 11.
To install the V7111 24-PORT in a 19-inch rack, follow these 7 steps:
1Remove the two screws on one side of the device nearest the front panel.
2Insert the peg on one of the brackets into the third air vent down on the column of air vents nearest the front panel.
3Swivel the bracket until the holes in the bracket line up with the two empty screw holes on the device.
4Use the screws found in the devices’ package to attach the bracket to the side of the device.
5Repeat Steps 1 to 4 to attach the second bracket to the other side of the device.
6Position the device in the rack and line up the bracket holes with the rack frame holes.
20 |
3Com VCX V7111 Analog Gateway Installation Guide |
7Use four standard rack screws to attach the device to the rack. These screws are not provided with the device.
