NSTALLATION
This chapter describes the requirements and procedures to use to install an BSGX4e
device into a network.
Introduction
The installation steps are as follows:
1. Prepare for installation.
2. Connect the cables.
3. Log on to the BSGX4e.
4. Initialize the BSGX4e WAN connection.
Preparing for Installation
Complete the following tasks before you install the BSGX4e.
1. Unpack the BSGX4e unit and familiarize yourself with its LEDs and connectors.
2. Determine how to physically install and connect the BSGX4e unit.
3. Get the network information required to establish the WAN connection.
Unpacking the Unit
1. Unpack and inspect the shipping carton.
After you open the shipping carton, remove and save all packing materials and
boxes.
Note: If you need to return the unit, repack it with the original packing
material. For more information, consult your customer support (for
contact information see "How to get help" on page 11).
2. Check the packing slip and contents of the shipping carton to ensure that you
receive the following items:
n BSGX4e device
n AC power adapter
n Documentation CD
3. Inspect the BSGX4e and the shipping carton for any potential damage that
occurred during shipping.
If you discover that items are missing or damaged, consult your customer support
(see "How to get help" on page 11).
Preparing for Physical Installation
To prepare for the physical installation of the unit, you need to:
1. Prepare the unit location.
2. Determine where the unit is to be connected.
3. Locate the cables and terminal to perform the installation.
Location Requirements
Ensure that the planned location meets the following requirements:
A stable, flat surface to support the unit. The size and weight of the unit are:
Height 1.25" (318 millimeter)
Width 9.6" (243.8 mm)
Depth 7.54" (194.5 mm)
Weight 2.3 lb. (1.05 kilogram)
.
Note: Do not place the unit on top of other equipment or place other
equipment on top of the unit.
A clean, dry environment with adequate air circulation. The operating
temperature and humidity requirements are:
Operating
32 to 104oF (0 to 40oC)
Temperature
Relative
5% to 95% (non condensing)
Humidity
Electrical power: 110 Volts of Alternating Current (VAC) 60 Hertz (Hz) for the
AC adapter. The BSGX4e device operates on 12 Volts of Direct Current (VDC),
which is supplied through the AC adapter provided with the unit.
Console and Cables Required
To log on and initialize the unit, connect a console to the CONSOLE port. The
console can be any PC that can run a terminal emulator (such as Tera Term Pro).
BSGX4e Business Gateway Installation Guide 16
Release 01.01 NN47928-303
The following cables are required to install the BSGX4e:
Serial cable To connect the CONSOLE port (DB9 connector) to a terminal (DB9 or
Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector, depending on the terminal).
RJ45 to
RJ45 cables
To connect the Ethernet ports to the WAN and to the LAN devices,
CAT5E or better is recommended.
NOTE: The cables can be straight or crossover. The BSGX4e ports
automatically determine if pairs need to be crossed over.
RJ11 to
RJ11 cables
To connect the TELECOM ports. The LINE (FXO) port connects to the
central office switch, and the PHONE (FXS) port connects to an analog
device (such as a phone or fax machine).
For the signal pinouts of the BSGX4e connectors, see Signal Pins (page 43).
Getting network information
The BSGX4e is inserted into the network between the router that provides access to
the WAN and the devices on the LAN, including all analog and Voice over Internet
Protocol (VoIP) phones. Figure 3 shows an example layout of an IP network with the
BSGX4e between the WAN and LAN.
