T1 Digital Trunk Requirements for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace
Systems
T1 Smart Blades support digital connections to a PBX system or to a public switched phone network
(PSTN). The framing for the digital lines can be either Extended Superframe (ESF) or D4 framing. The
digital lines can use either Binary 8-Zero Substitution (B8ZS) or jammed-bit coding.
We recommend using ESF framing and B8ZS coding. Using D4 framing or jammed-bit coding may not
be satisfactory.
CautionSupplemental earth grounding is required at all times. This supplemental grounding consists of a
grounding cable that is attached to supplemental ground lugs on the back of the Cisco Unified
MeetingPlace Audio Server chassis and is permanently connected to an earth ground point at the other
end through an appropriate facilities-grounding terminal.
You must use shielded cables, and you must electrically terminate the shield at the back of the Cisco
Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server.
Note the following considerations:
• Cisco Unified MeetingPlace supports fractional T1 services and h as complete fl e xi bilit y to act ivate
any or all ports on a span.
• Cisco Unified MeetingPlace can use dialed-number information to directly connect the caller to a
meeting or to determine the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace services to which the caller has access.
• You can configure Cisco Unified MeetingPlace to support devices where the T1 trunk does not
provide any signaling and is always offhook. This is used in applications where a clear channel
connection is required.
Table 1-2 lists the T1 digital trunk requirements by country for a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system.

Requirements for Customer-Supplied Connectors—U.S., Canada, and
Hong Kong” section on page 1-9.
Cable provided by Cisco Systems—25-foot shielded twisted-pair cable with
ferrite.
PBX to CSU connection—FCC and CSA-listed CSU required fo r connections over
600 feet. The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system ships with a 25-foot shielded
cable with ferrite beads for each T1 span. The cable terminates in an RJ-48
connector. Listed CSU is provided for overvoltage protection for the T1 Smart
Blades.
T1-Supported Protocols for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Systems
Customer-supplied connectors—RJ-45 connector.
Cable provided by Cisco Systems—50-foot shielded cable (male-male). One per
T1 span.
AustraliaCisco Systems does not supply any T1 cables with Cisco Unified MeetingP lace
Audio Server systems that are shipped to Australia.
In some cases, the cables that Cisco Systems provides may not be appropriate for your Private Branch
eXchange (PBX) or Network Interface Unit (NIU) side connections. If this is the case, create your own
custom cables.
Custom T1 CAS (channel-associated signaling) and IP cables require the following:
• Cat5e STP UTP cable with shielded RJ-45 connectors terminated to the cable shield at both ends.
• Add the ferrite that is on the ca ble supplied by Cisco Systems.
Caution(U.S. only) The FCC Part 68 registration number is EMC USA-34550-XD-T. Be sure to use only FCC
and CSA or UL-listed CSUs.
T1-Supported Protocols for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace
Systems
OL-13417-01
The following protocols are supported for T1 digital trunks:
• T1 CAS Cisco Unified MeetingPlace systems—E&M wink start, ground start, and loop start

End-to-end positive disconnect supervision is essential. Without it, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace cannot
reliably tell when a caller hangs up. Many PBX and central office systems can provide disconnect
signaling; we recommend E&M wink start lines because they provide for a positive answer and
disconnect supervision. In many cases, the person taking the order for the lines will not understand your
request, so you will probably need to escalate the request to someone with a technical background.

require the following:
• Cat5e UTP cable.
• RJ-48c connector on the breakout box side.
• Add the ferrite that is on the cable that is supplied by Cisco Systems.
NoteIn E1 Cisco Unified MeetingPlace systems, you can connect Cisco Unified MeetingPlace directly to the
PSTN. You do not need a CSU.
E1-Supported Protocols for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace
Systems
The following protocols are supported for E1 digital trunks:
• Euro-ISDN (ETSI 300-102).
• QSIG (ECMA version)—Channels are numbered 1 to 30.
• QSIG (ETSI version)—Channels are numbered 1 to 15 and 17 to 31.
The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system supports only E1 PRI protocols. The Cisco Unified
MeetingPlace system does not support E1 CAS protocols.

Systems
NoteIf the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system does not require a breakout box (T1 PRI or E1 conf iguration) ,
skip to the
page 2-11.
The breakout box provides a standard RJ-45 telephony interface. The breakout box interfaces to a
maximum of 16 cables with an MP-MA-16-PRI and a maximum of 4 cables with each MP-MA-4-PRI.
Cisco Systems ships the necessary number of RJ-48c cables to connect each breakout box to your PBX
or Telco NIU with each Multi Access Blade.
NoteIn some cases, the RJ-48c cables provided by Cisco Systems may not be appropria te for you r PBX or
NIU side connections. If this is the case, create your own custom cables, which require an RJ-48c
connector on the breakout box side. (For custom-cable requirements, see the
Requirements for Cisco Unified MeetingPla ce Systems” se ction on page 1-10.)
Cisco Systems also ships the necessary number of 50-pin Amphenol cables with the breakout box: two
50-pin Amphenol cables to connect each MP-MA-16-PRI to the break out box and one 50-pin Amphenol
cable to connect each MP-MA-4-PRI to the breakout box.
If the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system requires two MP-MA-16-PRIs, you need two breakout boxes.
(A fully loaded 960-port E1 Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system and a fully loaded 736-port T1 PRI
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system have two MP-MA-16-PRIs.)

About Telephony Configurations for Mixed Cisco Unified
MeetingPlace Systems
A mixed Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system is a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server system with
both an IP configuration and a T1 CAS, T1 PRI, or E1 configuration.
Mixing protocols is supported only in combination with IP ports:
• T1 PRI and IP
• E1 and IP
• T1 CAS and IP
(For example, a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system cannot have both T1 and E1 ports configured, but
it can have T1—either PRI or CAS—and IP ports, or E1 and IP ports. In addition, a Cisco Unified
MeetingPlace system cannot have both T1 CAS and T1 PRI ports configured.)

System Installation or Upgrade
To verify inbound calls, you must have a means for directly selecting each trunk connected to the Cisco
Unified MeetingPlace system. Most PBX and central office trunks either use circular hunting, which
accesses each port in turn, or allow each trunk to be selected with a special dialing sequence.
