Echo-Cancellation
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 an d codec tra nscoding. Its hardware echo canceller
is designed to handl e up to 128m s of e cho cancel lation ac ross a ll channe ls
and provides a G.168 compliant echo cancellation solution.
If not explicitly disable d in the Gateway Series web GUI, the hardwarebased echo canceller will automatically operate and cancel all network
echo within its tail range (1024 taps).

Unit Identification
The defining character istic of the Gateway Series models are the number
of T1/E1 and Ethernet ports supporte d. S ee Table 1 for a list of the
various models.
This sectio n describes how to properly inst all 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 equ ipmen t is i nt e n d e d fo r u s e in Restricted Ac ce s s A reas
only where equipotential bonding has been applied.
Grounding
The Gateway Series appliance must be proper ly earth gr ounded 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 imprope rly 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 a pplian ce. Atta ch an a ppropr iate l eng th 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. Stra nded 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 gro und nut. The ground nut must be
turned clockwis e to tigh ten it o nto th e groun d 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 considera tion the requirements of all equipment
connected to or sharing the rack, the equipment rack should be
properly earth grounde d. Ref er to the manu facturer of the rack for
instructions on how to properly e arth ground the rack.
Important
Use only a grounded electrical outlet when connecting the
Gateway Series appliance to a power sour ce. If you do not
know whether the outlet is grounded, consult wi th a qualified
electrician.
Digium, Inc. Page 25
Chapter 2: Unit Installation
Mounting
The included hardware allows the Gate way Serie s appliance to be wall
mounted, rack mounted side-by-side with another Gateway Series
appliance, or placed flat on a leve l 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 ear th grounding of ra ck-mount equipment should be
maintained. Particular atte ntion 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 obje cts on top of the
unit, or pull down on the mounted unit. Consider the
mechanical l oadi ng of ex terna l cable s. The wei ght of th e cable s
can pull on the unit and create unev en loading. Secure heavy
cables with external cable trays.
Important
If rack mounting, ins tall the Gateway Ser ies appliance in a rack
so that the amount of airflow r equired 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 mu lti-unit rack ass embly, the
operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be
signific antly greater t han the room ambient. Whi le the
maximum safe operat ing temperature is 50°C, consideration
should be given to ins talling the unit in an environment
compatible with the maximum recommended ambient
temperature of 45°C for long ter m reliabili ty 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 hole s from the mounting bracket to the
threaded holes on the front sid e of the Gateway Ser ies appliance. Two #8
black truss head sc rews should be inserted and tur ned 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 othe r side of the Gateway Series appl iance. Then use
another 2 #8 black truss head screws on each mounting bracket to secure
the Gateway S eries ap pl ian ce to a rack .
Digium, Inc. Page 27
Chapter 2: Unit Installation
Side-by-s ide 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 le ft side of the first Gateway Serie s 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 sid e of the seco nd Gateway Series
appliance.
Each of the three #6 pan head screws should be inserted into a shoulder
washer as shown in Figur e 7 on page 29. Make sur e the narr ow side of the
shoulder washer is away from the head of the screw. The three screws
should then be insert ed and turned clockwise to fasten to th e si de-by-side
holes on the right side of the first Gate way Serie s appliance. Do not
overtighten the screws or th e shoulder washers could be damaged.
Connect the first and second Gatewa y Series appliances together by
putting the heads of three screws & shoulder washers into the thre e keyed
insets. Then push down on th e second Gateway Ser ies applia nce a s sh own
in Figure 7. Make sure the units a re 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 appl iances to a rack.

Wall M ount :
In order to wall mount the Gateway Series appliance, the short mounting
brackets should be flipped an d rotate d, a nd 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 pr operly
view the LEDs. In addition, the Gateway Series appli ance s hould be
properly oriented as shown in Figu re 8. Ori entations other than what is
shown in Figu re 8 are not acce p ta ble .

If the Gateway Series applian ce is pla ced in the “right side down”
orientation, the 2 remaining #8 black truss head mounting screws should
be fully inser ted into the screw hole s near the front of the right side of the
Gateway Series applianc e. In ad dition, the three #6 pan head screws
should be ful ly inserted into the side-by-side holes on the right sid e of the
first Gateway Series appl iance.
Note: The Gateway Series appliance must be properly grounded for
safety reaso ns. I f the uni t i s not prope rly groun ded, d amage coul d a rise
