Chapter 1: Overview
Administrators connecting their Gateway Series appliances to the PSTN or other devices are likely to be placing calls that will result, at some point, in an unbalanced 4-wire/2-wire hybrid. The result of this hybrid is the reflection of a near-end echo to the calling party. Elimination of this echo is the responsibility of echo cancellation.
The Gateway Series appliance utilizes hardware-based voice processors for echo cancellation and codec transcoding. Its hardware echo canceller is designed to handle up to 128ms of echo cancellation across all channels and provides a G.168 compliant echo cancellation solution.
If not explicitly disabled in the Gateway Series web GUI, the hardwarebased echo canceller will automatically operate and cancel all network echo within its tail range (1024 taps).

Chapter 2: Unit Installation
This section describes how to properly install the hardware for a Gateway Series appliance.
Caution
Only qualified service personnel should continue with hardware installation and configuration of the Gateway Series appliance. Users should not attempt to perform these functions themselves.
Caution
This equipment is intended for use in Restricted Access Areas only where equipotential bonding has been applied.
The Gateway Series appliance must be properly earth grounded for safety reasons. If the unit is not properly earth grounded, the unit and/or other equipment connected to the unit could be damaged. If a Gateway Series appliance is damaged while it is improperly grounded, the warranty on the Gateway Series appliance is void.
A ground lug is located on the opposite side from the front panel of a Gateway Series appliance. Attach an appropriate length and gauge of wire to the double-crimp ground ring terminal. The wire length should be as short as possible, and gauge should be 18 AWG or greater. Stranded or solid wire is acceptable. Wire is not provided with the Gateway Series
Digium, Inc. |
Page 24 |
Chapter 2: Unit Installation
appliance. Double crimp the ground ring terminal to the wire. Next, slide the ground ring terminal over the ground lug. Then fasten the ground ring terminal to the ground lug using the ground nut. The ground nut must be turned clockwise to tighten it onto the ground lug. The opposite end of the wire that is connected to the ground ring terminal should be securily fastened to an unpainted metalic section of a properly earth grounded equipment rack. A connector for the opposite end of the wire is not provided with the Gateway Series appliance.
Note: Taking into consideration the requirements of all equipment connected to or sharing the rack, the equipment rack should be properly earth grounded. Refer to the manufacturer of the rack for instructions on how to properly earth ground the rack.
Important
Use only a grounded electrical outlet when connecting the Gateway Series appliance to a power source. If you do not know whether the outlet is grounded, consult with a qualified electrician.
Digium, Inc. |
Page 25 |
Chapter 2: Unit Installation
The included hardware allows the Gateway Series appliance to be wall mounted, rack mounted side-by-side with another Gateway Series appliance, or placed flat on a level surface. If a single Gateway Series appliance is to be rack mounted, the optional long mounting bracket (not supplied, part number 3244-00042) must be used. The optional long mounting bracket can be ordered by contacting a Digium reseller or Digium directly.
Important
Reliable earth grounding of rack-mount equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to provide connection other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips).
Important
Mounting of the Gateway Series appliance in a rack should be such that no hazardous condition is achieved due to uneven mechanical loading. Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit, or pull down on the mounted unit. Consider the mechanical loading of external cables. The weight of the cables can pull on the unit and create uneven loading. Secure heavy cables with external cable trays.
Important
If rack mounting, install the Gateway Series appliance in a rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation is not compromised.
Digium, Inc. |
Page 26 |
Chapter 2: Unit Installation
Important
If the Gateway Series appliance is installed in a system that is in turn installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be significantly greater than the room ambient. While the maximum safe operating temperature is 50°C, consideration should be given to installing the unit in an environment compatible with the maximum recommended ambient temperature of 45°C for long term reliability and maximum performance.
Single Unit Rack Mount:
In order to rack mount the Gateway Series appliance by itself, place one of the short mounting brackets on the front of one side of the Gateway Series appliance. Line up the holes from the mounting bracket to the threaded holes on the front side of the Gateway Series appliance. Two #8 black truss head screws should be inserted and turned clockwise to fasten the mounting bracket. Do not over-tighten. Repeat these steps when installing the optional long mounting bracket (not supplied, part number 3244-00042) on the other side of the Gateway Series appliance. Then use another 2 #8 black truss head screws on each mounting bracket to secure the Gateway Series appliance to a rack.
Digium, Inc. |
Page 27 |
Chapter 2: Unit Installation
Side-by-side Rack Mount:
In order to rack mount the Gateway Series appliance side-by-side with another Gateway Series appliance, place one of the short mounting brackets on the front of the left side of the first Gateway Series appliance. Line up the holes from the mounting bracket to the threaded holes on the front of the left side of the first Gateway Series appliance. Two #8 black truss head screws should be inserted and turned clockwise to fasten the mounting bracket. Repeat these steps when installing a short mounting bracket on the front of the right side of the second Gateway Series appliance.
Each of the three #6 pan head screws should be inserted into a shoulder washer as shown in Figure 7 on page 29. Make sure the narrow side of the shoulder washer is away from the head of the screw. The three screws should then be inserted and turned clockwise to fasten to the side-by-side holes on the right side of the first Gateway Series appliance. Do not overtighten the screws or the shoulder washers could be damaged. Connect the first and second Gateway Series appliances together by putting the heads of three screws & shoulder washers into the three keyed insets. Then push down on the second Gateway Series appliance as shown in Figure 7. Make sure the units are flat against each other before pushing the second unit down. Otherwise the shoulder washers may be damaged. Use two truss head screws (not supplied) on each mounting bracket to secure both Gateway Series appliances to a rack.

Chapter 2: Unit Installation
Figure 7: Side-by-side Rack Mounting
Wall Mount:
In order to wall mount the Gateway Series appliance, the short mounting brackets should be flipped and rotated, and fastened on the middle of the right and left sides of the Gateway Series appliance as shown in Figure 8 on page 30. The unit should be mounted at or below eye level to properly view the LEDs. In addition, the Gateway Series appliance should be properly oriented as shown in Figure 8. Orientations other than what is shown in Figure 8 are not acceptable.
Digium, Inc. |
Page 29 |
Chapter 2: Unit Installation
If the Gateway Series appliance is placed in the “right side down” orientation, the 2 remaining #8 black truss head mounting screws should be fully inserted into the screw holes near the front of the right side of the Gateway Series appliance. In addition, the three #6 pan head screws should be fully inserted into the side-by-side holes on the right side of the first Gateway Series appliance.
Note: The Gateway Series appliance must be properly grounded for safety reasons. If the unit is not properly grounded, damage could arise to the unit and/or other equipment connected to the unit.
