Mounting the Device
You can mount the device in a standard 19-inch rack.
1. Attach the two front-mounting brackets (supplied) to both sides of the chassis. Each bracket is secured
to the chassis using 9 screws (supplied).
2. With two people, lift the chassis into the rack from the front of the rack.
3. Hold the chassis for support while the second person positions the chassis so that the front-mounting
brackets are flush against the front-rack posts and that the holes of the front-mounting brackets are
aligned with the holes on the front-rack post.
4. Hold the chassis in position while the second person secures the two front-mounting brackets to the
front posts, by finger-tightening 19-inch rack bolts (not supplied) to the rack posts. Each mounting
bracket is secured to the rack by two bolts. Make sure that the left and right front-mounting brackets
are attached to the rack posts at the same level so that the chassis is supported in a horizontal position.
5. Tighten the bolts on the front-mounting brackets.

Cabling the Device to Power
The device can be powered from a standard alternating current (AC) electrical wall outlet or a DC power
source.
1. GROUNDING: Ground (earth) the device by inserting an electrically earthed strap of 16-AWG
(minimum) wire in to grounding lug (supplied), and then attaching the lug to the chassis using the two
screws and spring washers. For more information, refer to the device's Hardware Manual. Connect the
other end of the strap to protective earthing. This must be in accordance with regulations enforced in
the country of installation.
2. AC POWER: For each AC power model, connect the line socket of the AC power cord (supplied) to the
device's AC power inlet, located on the rear panel. Connect the plug at the other end of the AC power
cord to a standard electrical wall outlet.

3. DC POWER: For each DC power model, disconnect your DC wires from your DC power source, and
then connect the two DC wires (6-AWG) to the DC terminal block plug (supplied), making sure that the
wires are inserted in to the correct openings on the terminal block according to their polarity (negative
or positive). Insert the DC terminal block plug into the DC inlet of the Power Supply module, located on
the rear panel. Connect the DC power leads to a 48-VDC power source.

Assigning an IP Address
Use the device's factory default IP address (192.168.0.2/24 and Default Gateway 0.0.0.0) to initially access the
device's Web-based management interface and then change it to suit your network's addressing scheme for
subsequent connectivity.
1. Using a CAT-5e/6 shielded twisted pair (STP) straight-through RJ-45 Ethernet cable, connect any one of
Ethernet ports of the CPU module (rear panel) to the LAN port of your computer.
2. Change the IP settings of your computer to correspond with the device's default IP address and subnet
mask.
3. On your computer, open a standard Web browser (for example, Google Chrome), and then in the URL
field, enter the device's default IP address; the Web Login screen appears:
4. Type in the default username (Admin) and password (Admin), and then click Login.
5. Open the IP Interfaces table (Setup menu > IP Network tab > Core Entities folder > IP Interfaces).

6. Select the OAMP interface ('Application Type' with OAMP + Media + Control), click Edit, and then in
the dialog box, modify the device's OAMP interface.
7. Click Apply to submit your changes; your connection with the device becomes unavailable at the
default IP address (due to the new IP address).
8. Change the IP settings of your computer to correspond with the new OAMP IP addresses and subnet of
the device.
9. Access the device again, but at its' new IP address, and then on the Web interface's toolbar, click the
Save button; the new IP address is now saved to the device's flash memory.
10. Re-cable the device to the required network. You can now access the device's management interfaces
remotely, using the new IP address.

Safety Precautions
The device must be installed and serviced only by qualified service personnel.
The device is considered as IPX0 non-water ingress protected and therefore, must be installed only
indoors.
Do not expose the device to water or moisture.
Ethernet cabling must be shielded and routed only indoors, and must not exit the building.
Do not open or disassemble this device. The device carries high voltage and contact with internal
components may expose you to electrical shock and bodily harm.
Make sure the device is installed in a well-ventilated location to avoid over heating of internal
components and subsequent damage.
Do not place any object on top of the device and make sure that sufficient clearance from the top and
sides are maintained to ensure proper airflow to avoid over heating of internal components.
Operate the device in an ambient temperature (Tma) that does not exceed 40°C (104°F).
The device must be installed only in restricted access locations that are compliant with ETS 300 253
guidelines where equipotential bonding has been implemented.
The device includes an integrated secondary surge protection, but does not provide primary telecom
protection! When the FXS telephone lines are routed outside the building, additional protection usually a 350V three-electrode Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) as described in ITU-T K.44 - must be provided
at the entry point of the telecom wires into the building (usually on the main distribution frame / MDF),
in conjunction with proper grounding. The center pin of the GDT (MDF grounding bar) must be
connected to the equipotential grounding bus bar of the Telecommunication room.
Operate the device only from the type of power source indicated on the chassis.
Installation of the device must be in accordance with national electrical codes and conform to local
regulations.
AC power: Use only the supplied AC power cord for connection to the AC power source.
AC power: The device must be connected to an electrical socket-outlet providing a protective earthing
connection.
AC power: If you are using both Power Supply modules, connect each one to a different AC power
supply source. The two AC power sources must have the same ground potential.
DC power: Connect the device to a safety extra-low voltage (SELV) source that is sufficiently isolated
from the mains.
DC power: Connection of the device to the DC mains power must be done only by a certified electrician
and in accordance with local national electrical regulations.
DC power: Both Power Supply modules must be connected. Ensure that you connect each one to a
different DC power supply source.
DC power: The two DC power sources must have the same ground potential.
