Rack Mount Safety Instructions
When installing the chassis in a rack, implement the following safety
instructions:
• Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature: If installed in a closed or mult i-unit
rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be
greater than room ambient temperature. Theref ore, consideration should be given
to installing the equipment in an environment with maxim um am bi ent temperature
(Tma) of 40°C (104°F).
• 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 m echanical loading.
• Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect t hat overloading of the circuits might
have on over-current 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 giv en to supply connections other than
direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. , use of power strips). For earthing the
device, see Section 5.1 on page 25.
4.2.1 Using a Pre-installed Rack Shelf

5.4.2 Connecting the PSTN Fallback for BRI Lines
The device supports a PSTN Fallback feature for BRI lines, whereby if a power outage or IP
connectivity problem (e.g., no ping) occurs, IP calls are re-routed to the PSTN. This
guarantees call continuity.
PSTN Fallback is supported if the device houses one or more BRI modules, where each
BRI module provides two or four spans.
In the event of a PSTN fallback, the BRI module's metallic relay switch automatically
connects line Port 1 (I) to Port 2 (II) of the BRI module.
For example, if a PBX trunk is connected to Port 1 and the PSTN network is connected to
Port 2, when PSTN Fallback is activated, calls from the PBX are routed directly to the
PSTN through Port 2.
To connect the BRI line interfaces for 1+1 PSTN Fallback:
1. Connect line 1 to a PBX.
2. On the same BRI module, connect line 2 to the PSTN.
