Port Numbering Conventions
Port Numbering Conventions
Port numbering conventions for the Cisco VG350 Voice Gateway are as follows:
• Two Compact Flash slots, CF0 and CF1.
• GE ports are 10/100/1000 BASE-T, numbered GE 0/0 through GE 0/2.
• 10/100BASE-T ports are numbered 10/100BASE-T 0/0 and 10/100BASE-T 0/1 from right to left.
• FXS voice port numbering begins at 2/0/0 to 2/0/71 or 2/0/47 and 4/0/0 to 4/0/71 or 4/0/47,
depending on the number of voice ports.
The ports numbered 2/0/x are for the SM installed in slot 1 and the ports numbered 4/0/x are for the
Service Module (SM) installed in slot 2.
Connecting to the Double-Wide High Density Service Module
Ports
Three RJ-21 female connectors are available on the SM-D-72FXS service module. The middle RJ-21
connector accesses FXS ports 0 to 23, the left RJ-21 female connector accesses ports 24 to 4, and the
right RJ-21 connector accesses ports 48 to 71. Use RJ-21 male connector to connect from the DWSM
RJ-21 ports to an FXS port RJ-11 distribution box.
NoteUse an RJ-21 cable with Amphenol 50-pin connectors.
Online Insertion and Removal
The DWSM can be hot-inserted into the VG350 Voice Gateway without any potential of electrical
damage either to the SM or the Host because the Online Insertion and Removal (OIR) logic is present
on all SM designs.
OIRl is the ability to insert and remove an SM while the system is running without causing electrical
damage to the SM or Host and without interfering with the operation of any other modules or portions
of a running system.
The basic feature for OIR support on an SM is the control and isolation of the 12V power rail via a
field-effect transistor (FET). This FET is enabled in a controlled fashion after the SM card is fully
inserted.
This section describes the sequence of steps when inserting or removing a DWSM. OIR can only be done
on one service module at a time. It only supports the same service module type. If you remove an
SM-D-72FXS, only another SM-D-72FXS can be inserted.
Insertion
The following steps show how to insert a service module.
1. Insert the service module into the slot.
2. Make sure that the following message is displayed:
*Apr 19 00:14:19.177: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Foreign Exchange Station x/y/z,

Before you install your Cisco VG350 Voice Gateway, consider the information in this chapter:
• Location and Mounting Requirements, page 3-1
• Distance Limitations for Interface Cables, page 3-4
• Interference Considerations, page 3-5
Location and Mounting Requirements
The three mounting possibilities for your Cisco VG350 Voice Gateway are as follows:
• Rack-mount
• Wall-mount
• Bench-top
The mounting location must provide the following:
CHAP T E R
3
• Access to the chassis
• Access to a suitable power source
• Access to an appropriate earth ground
• Allowance for adequate heat dissipation and airflow around the chassis
Temperature Control and Ventilation
The installation location (room, closet, or cabinet) for the Cisco VG350 Voice Gateway should always
be well ventilated and provide adequate air circulation to ensure proper cooling. The room temperature
should be maintained between 32 to 122°F (0 to 50°C).
NoteThe Cisco VG350 Voice Gateway chassis is designed for back and sides-to-front airflow.
CautionEnclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. An enclosed rack should never be overcrowded and
should have louvers and a fan.
If the Cisco VG350 Voice Gateway is installed in an enclosed rack with a ventilation fan at the top, make
sure that heated air drawn upward from other equipment does not prevent adequate cooling.
If the chassis is installed using slide rails, check for blocked ventilation ports when it is in position in
the rack or cabinet. Make sure that the ventilation ports of the Cisco VG350 Voice Gateway are not
blocked.
TipBaffles can help isolate exhaust air from intake air. Baffles also help draw cooling air through the
cabinet. The best location for the baffles depends on the airflow patterns in the rack. You can test the
airflow by experimenting with different equipment arrangements.
Bench-Mounted
Chapter 3 Planning Your Installation
If the unit is placed on a bench-top, do not stack other equipment or paper on the chassis. Provide plenty
of space for air circulation (front to back). Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating and damage.
Access to Chassis
Allow space at the rear of the chassis for cable connections. Also consider the need to access the chassis
for future upgrades, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
Chassis Grounding
Chassis grounding is provided through the power cable, which uses a standard grounding plug. However,
the chassis also requires a reliable earth ground using the earth ground lug and hardware provided.
A Cisco VG350 Voice Gateway with AC power supply autoselects either 100–127 volt or 200–240 volt
operation. AC versions include a 6-foot (1.8-meter) electrical power cord. (A label near the power cord
indicates the correct voltage, frequency, current draw, and power dissipation.)
Power Suppy Considerations
Cisco VG350 Voice Gateway requires significantly more power because of its high-density ports and
OPX ‘Lite’ requirements.
This require a larger 48V battery backup that may need to be custom built.
To handle power failure conditions, an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) is needed. UPS is widely
available in all markets, including emerging markets (due to prevalence of UPS for personal computers).
Thus, a separate UPS for Cisco VG350 Voice Gateway is a viable option when the ISR/UPS is not
co-located with it.
If you suspect that your AC power is not clean—if lights flicker often or there is machinery with large
motors nearby—have a qualified person test the power. Install a power conditioner if necessary.

Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
Statement 1001
Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.
This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that
the protective device is rated not greater than:120 VAC, 15A U.S. (240 VAC, 10A international)
1005
The device is designed for connection to TN and IT power systems.
This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area can be
accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means by security.
The cable types that are used are dependent on the Cisco VG350 Voice Gateway that you are using. For
more information, see the “Interfaces and Service Capabilities” section on page 1-3 and “Cable
Specifications and Information” section on page A-1.
• GE cables (RJ-45 to RJ-45 straight-through cables)
• Analog voice cables (RJ-21)
Distance Limitations for Interface Cables
When planning your installation, consider distance limitations and potential electromagnetic
interference (EMI) as defined by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA). Distance limitation
information is included for the following VG ports:
• Gigabit Ethernet Maximum Distance, page 3-4
Chapter 3 Planning Your Installation
• FXS Analog Voice Port Maximum Distance, page 3-4
• FXS-E (Extended loop) Analog Voice Port Maximum Distance, page 3-4
Gigabit Ethernet Maximum Distance
The maximum segment distance for Gigabit Ethernet is 330 feet (100 meters) (specified in IEEE 802.3).
FXS Analog Voice Port Maximum Distance
The maximum distance is established by a total allowable loop resistance, including the phone or
terminal equipment, of 600 ohms.
FXS-E (Extended loop) Analog Voice Port Maximum Distance
The maximum distance is established by a total allowable loop resistance, including the phone or
terminal equipment, of 1400 ohms.
NoteTypically, a 26 AWG wire is equal to 81.6 ohm/Kft and 24 AWG wire is equal to 51.3 ohm/Kft.
When you run cables for any significant distance in an electromagnetic field, interference can occur
between the electromagnetic field and the signals on the cables. This has two implications for the
installation of terminal plant cabling:
• Unshielded plant cabling can emit radio interference.
• Strong electromagnetic interference (EMI), especially as caused by lightning or radio transmitters,
can destroy the EIA/TIA-232 drivers and receivers in the Cisco VG350 Voice Gateway.
If you use twisted-pair cables with a good distribution of grounding conductors in your plant cabling,
emitted radio interference is unlikely.
If you have cables exceeding recommended distances, or if you have cables that pass between buildings,
give special consideration to the effect of lightning strikes or ground loops. If your site has these
characteristics, consult experts in lightning suppression and shielding. The electromagnetic pulse caused
by lightning or other high-energy phenomena can easily couple enough energy into unshielded
conductors to destroy electronic devices.
Most data centers cannot resolve the infrequent, but potentially catastrophic problems just described
without pulse meters and other special equipment. Take precautions to avoid these problems by
providing a properly grounded and shielded environment and by installing electrical surge suppression.
Interference Considerations
If you remove any module, you must either install a module in its place or install a cover plate over the
opening. All module openings must be either occupied or covered to prevent electromagnetic
interference.
For advice on the prevention of electromagnetic interference, consult experts in radio-frequency
interference (RFI).
