see Section
When installing the chassis in a rack, adhere the fol l owing safety instructions:
•Elevated Operating Temperat ure: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of t he rack environment may be greater
than room ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing
the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature
(Tma) of 40°C (104°F).
•Reduced Air Flow: Installation of t he equipm ent in a rack should be such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation on t he equipment is not compromised.
•Mechanical Loading: M ounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven m echanical 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 over-current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be use d when addressing this concern.
•Reliable Earthing: Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be
maintained. Particular attention should be giv en to supply connections other than

airflow pressure within the chassis.
6.1 Installing and Replacing Modules
This section describes step-by-step procedures for installing or replacing modules.
Warning: Make sure that all unoccupied module slots are covered with blank panels.
This prevents dust from entering the chassis' and ensures even air flow within the
chassis for cooling.
6.1.1 Module Slot Assignment
The device's front-panel chassis provides slots (numbered as shown in the figure below) for
housing the main input/output (I/O) interface modules (i.e., TRUNKS, BRI, FXS, FXO,
MPM, and CRMX).
Figure 6-1: Module Chassis Slot Assignment
The guidelines for slot assignment for these modules include the following:
The CRMX module must always be housed in the slot located to the left of the S pare
Power Supply slot (as illustrated in the figure above).
The TRUNKS, BRI, FXS, and FXO modules must be housed in consecutive slots. In
other words, if the device houses three modules, then they must occupy slots 1, 2, and
3 (no skipping of slots).
It is recommended to assign the TRUNKS, BRI, FXS, and FXO modules t o the slots
(starting from Slot 1) according to the order of priority li st ed below:
1. TRUNKS
2. BRI
3. FXS and/or FXO
MSBR Series 51 Mediant 1000B MSBR
Page 52
Mediant 1000B MSBR
For example, if the device requires one TRUNKS module and two FXS modules, then
you must insert the TRUNKS module in Slot 1 and the two FXS modules in slots 2 and
3 respectively. If at a later stage, you wish to add a BRI m odul e (f or example), then
you must replace the FXS module in Slot 2 with t he new B RI module, and then reinsert this replaced FXS module in Slot 4.
The figure below displays an example illustration of correct module slot assignment:
The MPM module provides IP media channels for applications such as
announcements, conferencing, SBC, and IP-to-IP call routi ng:
•When no other modules are used, up to three MPM modules can be housed in
the device.
•For conferencing, one MPM module must be housed in S lot 6, providing 20 media
channels. For additional media channels, you can a dd MPM modules to slots 4
(40 channels) and 5 (40 channels) as well, thereby prov idi ng a t otal of 100 media
channels for conferencing.
•For applications other than conferencing (e.g. , SBC, IP-to-IP routing, and
announcements), the MPM modules can be housed in slots 3, 4, and 5. Each
module provides 40 channels; thereby, providin g a total of 120 channels (60 for
IP-to-IP call sessions).
•The device can acquire additional media channel resources (for SBC, IP-to-IP
routing, and conferencing) from the TRUNKS modul es. For a description of this
configuration, refer to the device's User's Manual.

6.1.6 Replacing I/O Modules on the Front-Panel Slots
This section describes how to replace front-panel modules. The device's I/O modules are
hot-swappable (except for the OSN Server modules and the CRMX module). The physical
replacement of the I/O modules is done together with a software replacement procedure
using the device's Web interface. Once you have 'software-removed' the module, you can
then physically remove the module and replace it with a new module. Once the new module
is inserted in the chassis slot, you then need to 'software-insert' it.
Warnings:
•Replace the module with the same module type and in the same chassis slot. For
example, a damaged TRUNKS module with two digital spans in Slot 1 must be
replaced with a TRUNKS module with two digital spans in S l ot 1.
•When only one I/O module is housed in the chassis, the software-remov al procedure
is not applicable; instead, power down the device, physically replace the module, and
then power up the device.

A.4 Connecting Remotely to OSN3 using Windows
You can connect to the OSN3 server using Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection
program.
Notes:
•To connect remotely to the OSN3 server running Windows, make sure t hat Remote
Desktop is enabled.
•The remote PC must be in the same subnet as the OSN server (default IP address
is 10.1.10.12).
•If, for any reason, you use an HDMX module taken from another chassis wit h OSN3
running Windows 2008, the default static IP address (10.1.10.12) is no longer
applicable. This is because the module becomes a DHCP client and acquires a
different IP address. To configure a specific IP address, you need to use a serial
console, as described in the following section.
A.4.1 Modifying the OSN3 IP Address
If, for any reason, you use an HDMX module taken from another chassis with OSN3
running Windows 2008, the default static IP address (10.1.10.12) is no longer applicable.
This is because the module becomes a DHCP client and acquires a different IP address. To
configure a specific IP address, you need to use a serial console, as described below.
To manually configure an IP address (for the scenario described in the note
above):
1. Connect the OSN3 serial interface port to a PC console using the RJ-45-to-DB-9 cable
adapter (see Section A.2.1 on page 58).
2. Use a serial communication software (e.g., HyperTerminal) to establish a serial
communication link, using the following communication port settings:
• Baud Rate: 115,200 bps
• Data Bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop Bits: 1
• Flow Control: None
3. Wait until the following Windows 2008 message is displayed:
EVENT: The CMD command is now available.
4. To view the current IP address, at the SAC prompt, type i, and then press Enter:
Before you can connect remotely to the OSN3 server, you need to cable a PC (running
Remote Desktop Connection) to the server's IP network interface. The server connects
initially to the IP network through the LAN port of the OSN3 module.
To connect to OSN3 through Remote Desktop Connection:
1. Connect the Ethernet LAN port of the OSN3 module to the LAN network, by
performing one of the following:
•Remote PC connection: Using a straight-through cable, connect the LAN port to
a switch that is connected to the IP network.
•Local PC connection: Using a crossover cable, connect the LAN port directly to
the PC's LAN port.
Figure A-9: Cabling OSN3 Module for Remote Desktop Connection from PC with Windows XP
2. Change the PC's IP address so that it is in the same subnet as the default OSN3
server's IP address (i.e., 10.1.10.12). The figure below displays an example of
changing a PC's IP address:
MSBR Series 67 Mediant 1000B MSBR
Page 68
