Regulatory information

U.S.A. requirements

The AASTRA CNX has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If it is not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, it may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to take whatever measures may be necessary to correct the interference at their own expense.

Do not attempt to repair or modify this equipment. All repairs must be performed by Aastra Telecom, or an authorized Aastra Telecom representative.

FCC Part 68 general information

The AASTRA CNX complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the bottom of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:2L4DDNANAASTRA01. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company. This Aastra CNX uses the following USOC RJ-48 jacks:

Interface Service Code Facility Code

1.544 Mb/s superframe format (SF) without line power 6.0Y 04DU9-BN

1.544 Mb/s superframe format (SF) and B8ZS without line power 6.0Y 04DU9-DN

1.544 Mb/s ANSI extended superframe format (ESF) without line power

1.544 Mb/s ANSI extended superframe format (ESF) and B8ZS without line power

A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.

If the AASTRA CNX causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.

The telephone company may make changes in its facility, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the operation of the AASTRA CNX. If this happens the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.

If you experience trouble with this equipment, please contact Aastra Telecom for repair and warranty information. If there is a problem with the network, the telephone company may request that you remove the equipment from the network until the problem is resolved.

Canada CS-03 Règles et règlements

« AVIS : Le présent matériel est conforme aux spécifications techniques d’Industrie Canada applicables au matériel terminal. Cette conformité est confirmée par le numéro d'enregistrement. Le sigle IC, placé devant le numéro d'enregistrement, signifie que l’enregistrement s’est effectué conformément à une déclaration de conformité et indique que les spécifications techniques d'Industrie Canada ont été respectées. Il n’implique pas qu’Industrie Canada a approuvé le matériel. »

NOTE: L’étiquette du ministère des Communications du Canada indique que l’appareillage est certifié, c’est-à-dire qu’il respecte certaines exigences de sécurité et de fonctionnement visant les réseaux de télécommunications. Le ministère ne garantit pas que l’appareillage fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l’utilisateur.

Avant d’installer l’appareillage, s’assurer qu’il peut être branché aux installations du service de télécommunications local. L’appareillage doit aussi être raccordé selon des méthodes acceptées.

Les réparations de l’appareillage certifié devraient être confiées à un service désigné par le fournisseur. En cas de réparation ou de modification effectuées par l’utilisateur ou de mauvais fonctionnement de l’appareillage, le service de télécommunications peut demander le débranchement de l’appareillage.

Pour leur propre sécurité, les utilisateurs devraient s’assurer que les mises à la terre des lignes de distribution d’électricité, des lignes téléphoniques et de la tuyauterie métallique interne sont raccordées ensemble. Cette mesure de sécurité est particulièrement importante en milieu rural.

ATTENTION: Les utilisateurs ne doivent pas procéder à ces raccordements, mais doivent plutôt faire appel aux pouvoirs de réglementation en cause ou à un électricien, selon le cas.

Connect the network cables

Procedure

Note: Make sure you have the appropriate network cables that you need

for your facility. Connect them to the applicable interfaces on the rear of the Aastra CNX as described in the following procedure.

To connect the network cables:

Step Action

a Connect RJ-48C T1/E1 cable(s) to the RJ-48C T1/E1 port(s) on the rear panel of

the Aastra CNX as shown in the illustration below.

b Connect the RJ-45 Ethernet UTP cable(s) to the RJ-45 10/100 ENET port(s) on

the rear panel of the Aastra CNX as shown in the illustration below.

Ground the chassis

To ground the chassis:

Step Action

a Locate the 3-hole, female, power receptacle on the rear of the chassis.

b Plug the male, 3-prong connector on the power cable into the power receptacle as

shown in the illustration below.

c Insert the plug at the other end of the power cable into a grounded power source

(100 to 240 VAC).

Aastra CNX Installation and Setup Procedures

Startup and check the Aastra CNX

Apply power to the Aastra CNX

To start up the Aastra CNX, insert the CompactFlash card into slot 1 of the unit and apply power from the power source.

Powering up a new Aastra CNX:

• Starts diagnostic test routines on the Aastra CNX.

• Checks for a flash memory card in CompactFlash slot 1 of the Aastra CNX chassis.

• Initializes the Aastra CNX and, if successful, resets all LEDs to their normal state.

• Starts a one-time software script that allows you to setup your network settings (See Step 7, “Configure the network settings.”)

Check the LEDs

To check the Aastra CNX LEDs:

Step Action

a Check the common LEDs on the front panel. The Power and Status LEDs should

be ON (green) indicating the Aastra CNX is ready to take calls.

b Check the ENET LEDs on the front panel. If your Aastra CNX has a physical

Ethernet link to your network from the 10/100 ENET ports 1 or 2 on the back panel, and no alarms are present, the ENET LEDs 1 and/or 2 should be ON (green). Note: The ENET LEDs FLASH (green) when there is Rx/Tx activity.

c The T1/E1 ports are disabled by default in the Aastra CNX software configuration.

The top row of T1/E1 LEDs should be OFF. To enable these ports and check the LEDs, the System Administrator must enable the T1/E1 ports using the Aastra CNX GUI.

POWER STATUS

Alarm Indicators

To check alarm indicators on the Aastra CNX:

Step Action

a Check that the Status LED is not ON Red. If the Status LED is ON Red, an alarm

condition exists in the unit. Contact your System Administrator. Note: During bootup of the Aastra CNX, the Status LED is ON Red for 1 second. This is a normal condition at bootup.

b When the T1/E1 port(s) are enabled, check that the T1/E1 LEDs on the bottom

row are OFF. If the T1/E1 LED(s) on the bottom row are ON Amber, a yellow alarm is present on the T1/E1 link. If the T1/E1 LEDs are ON Red, a Red alarm is present on the T1/E1 link. Contact your System Administrator.

Aastra CNX Installation and Setup Procedures

Configure the network settings

Requirements

The following is required before you configure the Aastra CNX for the first time:

• The Aastra CNX must physically be connected to your console using an RS-232/DB-9 cable.

• The Aastra CNX must physically be connected to your network interface via the Ethernet port(s).

• The Aastra CNX must be turned on.

• You must be running a terminal emulator on your PC. Terminal emulator must be set as follows:

Configure the network settings

— Baud Rate 9600

—Data 8 bit

— Parity None

—Stop 1 bit

—Flow Control None

After powering up the Aastra CNX, a network script runs in a terminal emulator window allowing you to initially configure the unit for your network.

Procedure

The following procedure describes how to configure the network settings.

Note: If at any time during the initial configuration process, you want to

backout of the configuration, press <ESC> to cancel.
