In addition to describing the Survivability feature, this NTP explains how to

configure a Small System for Survivability.

WARNING

Before a Small System can be installed, a network assessment
must be performed and the network must be VoIP-ready.

If the minimum VoIP network requirements are not met, the system
will not operate properly.

For information on the minimum VoIP network requirements and
converging a data network with VoIP, refer to Converging the Data
Network with VoIP Fundamentals (NN43001-260).

Introduction

This chapter identifies major components of Cabinet systems. Identification
codes are given where appropriate.

For a description of the Signaling Server for a CS 1000M Cabinet, refer to
Signaling Server Installation and Commissioning (NN43001-312).

Cabinets

The NTAK11 cabinet is used for both main and expansion cabinets.

Figure 1 NTAK11 cabinet

Cable connectors

Connectors for cables to the cross-connect terminal and SDI ports are found
at the bottom of each cabinet.

The AUX, SDI, and Ethernet connectors are located at the bottom left-hand
side of the cabinet. The AUX port connects the cabinet to auxiliary
equipment such as a Power Failure Transfer Unit (PFTU). The SDI connector
in the main and IP expansion cabinets interfaces three SDI ports using a
three-port SDI cable. The Ethernet connector in the main cabinet provides
a 10 Mbit/s Ethernet port.

Cooling

The NTAK11 cabinet is designed to permit natural convection cooling. For
more information on requirements, refer to "Installing the Cabinet system"

(page 75).

WARNING

Do not block cabinet ventilation. Poor ventilation could cause the
system to overheat and damage system components, which may
result in service interruption.

Signaling Server (for CS 1000M systems)

The Signaling Server is an industry-standard, PC-based server. It provides
a central processor to drive the signaling for IP Phones and IP Peer
Networking.

The Signaling Server can be installed in a load-sharing redundant
configuration for higher scalability and reliability.

MFC/MFE/MFK5/MFK6/MFR or eight DTR/XTD units

Software daughterboard

The NTDK20 SSC card requires a software daughterboard in order to
function. The NTTK25 Software daughterboard provides storage for system
and customer data. It can be ordered preprogrammed with system software
and customer data.

For CS 1000 Release 4.5 software, the minimum requirements are:

•

32 MB DRAM

•

16 MB primary flash

•

32 MB program store

An NTDK20 SSC card with 32 MB DRAM and equipped with an NTTK25 or
NTTK13 Software daughterboard meets the minimum requirements.

Security device

A security device is required on the NTDK20 SSC card of the main and all
IP expansion cabinets. The SSC card is equipped with a socket designed
to hold the security device. The security device is shipped with each new
Cabinet system. When the SSC card is shipped, the security device is
normally not attached to the socket on the SSC card. You must attach the
security device to the SSC card during initial installation.

There are two types of security devices:

•

The NT_STD required in the main cabinet

•

The NT_REM required in the IP expansion cabinets
Note: The NT_REM is programmed to match the main cabinet device.

Both devices look identical, but can easily be identified by the label.

The Auxiliary (AUX), Serial Data Interface (SDI), and Ethernet connectors
are on the back left-hand side of the chassis. See Figure 17 "Connectors on

the back of the chassis" (page 42).

The AUX port connects auxiliary equipment, such as a Power Failure
Transfer Unit (PFTU), to the Chassis system. The SDI connector in the
chassis interfaces three SDI ports using a three-port SDI cable. The
Ethernet connector in the chassis provides a 10 Mbit Ethernet network
interface. The Ethernet network interface accepts an industry-standard
Media Access Unit (MAU). Insert the Cat5 Ethernet cable into this MAU.

The back of the chassis also contains connectors for connecting the
chassis and the chassis expander. These connectors are for the DS-30X
and CE-MUX connections. See Figure 17 "Connectors on the back of the

chassis" (page 42).

The power connector is at the back of the chassis on the upper left-hand
side. See Figure 17 "Connectors on the back of the chassis" (page 42).

Main components of the Chassis system 43

Cooling

The NTDK91 chassis and the NTDK92 chassis expander have forced air
cooling. As a result, you can install the chassis in a horizontal or vertical
position. The fan inside the chassis is controlled by heat. It runs at a
reduced speed at room temperature.

WARNING

Do not block chassis ventilation. Poor ventilation could cause the
system to overheat and damage system components, which may
result in service interruption.

Signaling Server (for CS 1000M systems)

The Signaling Server is an industry-standard, PC-based server. It provides
a central processor to drive the signaling for IP Phones and IP Peer
Networking.

The Signaling Server can be installed in a load-sharing redundant
configuration for higher scalability and reliability.

For information about installing and configuring the Signaling Server, refer
to Signaling Server Installation and Commissioning (NN43001-312).

Power supply

The universal power supply in the Chassis system uses AC input. The
power supply is factory installed and not customer replaceable. The Chassis
system does not support DC input.

Power switch

There is a power switch on the front of the NTDK91 chassis and the
NTDK92 chassis expander. Use this switch to turn the system power on and
off. See Figure 19 "Front of chassis" (page 45).

Power status indicator

There is a power status indicator (LED) on the front cover (top left-hand
corner) of the chassis and the chassis expander. When the LED is green,
the power is in operation. When the LED is off, there is a power failure of
one of the power outputs. See Figure 19 "Front of chassis" (page 45).

Power supply DIP switch settings

Use a DIP switch to set ringing voltages, ringing frequencies, and message
waiting voltages. See Table 7 "Asia Pacific/CALA power supply DIP switch

settings" (page 44) and Figure 19 "Front of chassis" (page 45) for all DIP

switch setting options. Typical settings are shown for the following regions:

NTTK25 Software daughterboard meets the minimum requirements.
PC Card interface The NTDK20 SSC card has a 2-slot PC Card interface

socket located on its faceplate (socket A is used for installations and
upgrades, socket B is used for backups). You can insert a Software Delivery
card (PC Card) into the socket. Use the PC Card for software upgrades on
an existing Chassis system. You can also use this socket for creating an
external backup copy of the customer database.

SDI ports The NTDK20 SSC card contains three SDI ports used to
connect on-site terminals or remote terminals through a modem.

Main components of the Chassis system 47

Ethernet network interface The NTDK20 SSC card has a 10 Mbit
Ethernet network interface. The 15-pin connector, located on the back of
the chassis, provides external connection to the Ethernet network interface.
This connector is for a standard 15-pin AUI interface for a MAU.

Digitone receiver, tone generation, tone detection functions The
NTDK20 SSC card provides the following Digitone and other tone functions
related to tone:

•

30 channels of Tone and Digit Switch (TDS) and a combination of eight

Digitone receivers (DTR) or Dial Tone Detectors (XTD)

•

Tone service ports, which can be configured as either four units of

MFC/MFE/MFK5/MFK6/MFR or eight DTR/XTD units

Security device

A security device is required on the NTDK20 SSC card of the main and all
IP chassis expanders. The SSC card is equipped with a socket designed
to hold the security device. The security device is shipped with each new
Chassis system. When the SSC card is shipped, the security device is
normally not attached to the socket on the SSC card. You must attach the
security device to the SSC card during initial installation.

There are two types of security devices:

•

The NT_STD required in the main chassis

•

The NT_REM required in the IP chassis expanders

Note: The NT_REM is programmed to match the main chassis device.
Both devices look identical, but can easily be identified by the label.

NTDK16 48-port Digital Line Card

The NTDK16 48-port Digital Line Card provides an interface to a maximum
of 48 digital integrated voice and 48 data ports. The NTDK16 Digital Line
Card is functionally equivalent to three NT8D02 Digital Line Cards.

Note 1: Only place the NTDK16 Digital Line Card in slot 4 of the chassis.

Note 2: The NTDK16 Digital Line Card is not required for the Chassis

system to operate.

Fiber expansion

For non-IP expansion, fiber expansion daughterboards in the chassis and
Fiber Receiver cards in the expansion chassis allow for fiber connectivity
between the chassis and up to four fiber expansion chassis or cabinets.

Fiber Receiver card

Multi-chassis Small Systems require an NTDK23 Fiber Receiver card in
each additional chassis. The NTDK23 supports a 10 m (33 ft) plastic
fiber-optic cable. Each Fiber Receiver card provides one SDI port for
remote TTY access.

Fiber Expansion daughterboard

Fiber expansion daughterboards must be installed on the NTDK20 SSC
card in order to connect to additional chassis. There are two kinds of fiber
expansion daughterboards that can be matched with the NTDK23 Fiber
Receiver card:

•

NTDK22 Single-port Fiber Expansion daughterboard

•

NTDK84 Dual-port Fiber Expansion daughterboard
Both daughterboards are used with the A0632902 Fiber-optic (multimode)

cable.

Routing Guides

Each chassis in a multi-chassis system requires a Routing Guide, in order
to route and manage the fiber-optic cable. Only one guide is required
in each chassis.

Telephones and attendant consoles

The Chassis system supports the following telephones and attendant
consoles:

• Analog (500/2500-type) telephones, with or without message waiting

lamps

Fiber-optic cable handling procedures

WARNING

The fiber-optic interface product used in the Small System
is considered safe. However, as a precaution do not look
directly at the optical port or the end of fiber-optic cable. Under
certain conditions (such as during cable testing or under light
magnification) the cable or port may expose the eye beyond the
limits of Maximum Permissible Exposure recommended in some
jurisdictions. Do not remove protective caps or plugs until ready to
connect the cable.

Introduction

This chapter provides the recommended installation method for bracing
the Small System cabinets or chassis against earthquakes. This method
does not guarantee that the system will continue to operate during or after
an earthquake.

This chapter contains the following procedure:

•

Procedure 1 "Earthquake bracing method" (page 63).

63

Method for earthquake bracing

To earthquake brace your Small System, fasten a 20 mm (3/4 in.) piece of
plywood securely to the wall. Then, place the system components on the
backboard. Do not attach the system components directly to the wall.

WARNING

To brace your Small System against earthquakes, you must install
the cabinet or chassis on a wall in a vertical position.

You need the following information to determine fastener
requirements:

•

What fasteners you must use.

• How deeply you must embed the fasteners into the wall.

•

The vertical distance between fasteners.

•

The horizontal distance between fasteners. For wood and metal
stud walls, determine this spacing by the spacing between wall
studs. Wall stud spacing must be within the range listed in Table

84 Installing the Cabinet system

Cabinet and Chassis system mix-and-match configuration

In a mix-and-match scenario, a chassis can be connected to the fiber or IP
expansion cabinet(s) of a Cabinet system. In addition, the main cabinet of a
Cabinet system can be connected to fiber or IP expansion chassis.

Note: There are slightly different SSC card requirements for different
configurations of cabinets and chassis:

•

The Main Cabinet or Chassis of an IP expansion Small System requires
the SSC card vintage NTDK20HA or newer, or upgraded NTDK20EA-GA
(upgraded using the NTTK19 SSC Upgrade Kit).

• The Main Cabinet or Chassis of a fiber expansion Small System
requires the SSC card vintage NTDK20HA or newer, or upgraded
NTDK20CA-GA.

•

IP expansion cabinets require the SSC card vintage NTDK20HA or
newer, or upgraded NTDK20CA-GA.

•

IP expansion chassis require the SSC card vintage NTDK20HA or
newer, or upgraded NTDK20EA-GA.

Note 1: The cabinets of the Cabinet system must support the faceplate
cabling that is used on all IP expansion daughterboards. If the current
cabinets do not support cable routing through the faceplate, they must
be upgraded to the NTDK18 cabinet kit.

Note 2: The grounding clips are situated differently on cabinets and
chassis. The grounding clip for the cabinet is mounted on the front of
the stiffener rail. Refer to Figure 27 "EMC grounding clip for the cabinet"

(page 85). The grounding clip for the chassis is mounted on the fan

baffle on the lower right-hand side of the chassis. Refer to Figure 28

"EMC grounding clip for the chassis" (page 85).
