Description of the Contivity 1700
The Contivity 1700 enables scalable, secure, and robust IP VPNs across the public
data network. The Contivity 1700 uses the infrastructure of the Internet to replace
traditional remote access gear.
The Contivity 1700 provides routing, firewall, bandwidth management,
encryption, authentication, and data integrity services to ensure secure tunneling
across IP networks and the Internet. An individual user or group of users can be
associated with a set of attributes that provide custom access to an extranet.

Additional equipment
You may need items that are not included in the Contivity 1700 shipping
container. Before you begin the installation, make sure that you have all the
cables, tools, and other equipment that you need.
Cables
You will need cables that are not included in the Contivity 1700 shipping
container. For information about which cables are shipped and which ones you
can order, see
have the proper cables, contact your network administrator.
Hardware for mounting the chassis in an equipment rack
To install the Contivity 1700 in an equipment rack, you need a Phillips
screwdriver and an equipment rack that meets the following specifications:
“Connecting communications cables” on page 30. If you do not
• Heavy-duty steel construction
• Width of 19 in. (48.26 cm) and depth of 24 in. (60.96 cm)
• Electronic Industries Association (EIA) standard hole-spacing
If the rack does not have threaded rail holes, you must use the cage nuts shipped
with the Contivity 1700.
Site requirements
The installation site must provide sufficient free space around the Contivity 1700
to ensure proper ventilation and access for servicing. For information about the
physical, electrical, and environmental requirements for the Contivity 1700, see
“Chassis specifications” on page 67.
314711-D Rev 00
Installing the chassis
To install the Contivity 1700, do one of the following:
• Position the chassis on a flat, sturdy, horizontal surface.
• Mount the chassis in a standard equipment rack (see “Installing the chassis in
an equipment rack” on page 24).
Installing the chassis on a flat surface
If you decide to place the Contivity 1700 on a flat surface, make sure that the
surface is large enough for the gateway and sturdy enough to support the
combined weight of the Contivity 1700 and the cables that you attach to it.
The Contivity 1700 accessory kit includes four rubber feet that can be attached to
the bottom of the gateway.

Installing the chassis in an equipment rack
To mount the Contivity 1700 in an equipment rack, you need the following
equipment:
• Standard 19-inch equipment rack
• 4 screws (supplied with the chassis)
• 4 cage nuts (supplied with the chassis) if the rack does not have threaded rail
holes
• #2 Phillips screwdriver
Rack-mount recommendations
When you mount the chassis in the rack, observe the following standard
recommendations:
• The maximum recommended ambient temperature is 40oC (104oF). Make
sure that the internal temperature of the rack does not exceed 40
o
C (104oF).
• Do not block the power supply vents or otherwise restrict air flow when
installing the chassis in a rack.
• Stabilize your rack so that it does not tip over under the weight of the gateway
and other devices.
• Make sure that the electrical branch circuits can handle the Contivity 1700
and other units in the rack before you install and turn on the gateway.
• Maintain a reliable earth-ground path in the rack system. The gateway is
intended to connect to an earth ground.
Attaching the shelf in the equipment rack
The Contivity 1700 ships with a rack-mount shelf to support the chassis in the
equipment rack.
To attach the shelf to the inside of the equipment rack:
1 If the holes in the rack’s vertical supports are not threaded, attach a cage nut in
four locations at the front of the rack
(Figure 3).

Mounting the chassis in the equipment rack
Nortel Networks recommends that two people install the chassis in the rack.
To install the Contivity 1700 in the equipment rack:
1 Set the Contivity 1700 on the rack-mount shelf.
2 Remove the front bezel from the Contivity 1700 (Figure 5).
a Using the Phillips screwdriver, turn each of the 2 screws on the front bezel
a quarter turn counterclockwise.
Figure 5 Removing the front bezel
b Grip the two handles and firmly pull the bezel toward you to unsnap it
from the chassis.
Caution: Do not use the piece with the Nortel Networks logo and the
LEDs as a handle.
The first few times that you remove the front bezel, it may be somewhat
difficult to remove because the ball studs and socket clips are new.

3 Insert one of the supplied panhead screws through the bottom hole on each
side of the shelf into the hole in the rack and tighten the screws (see
on page 25).
4 Replace the front bezel (Figure 6).
a Hold the two handles on the bezel and push it onto the chassis.
b Using the Phillips screwdriver, tighten the 2 screws to secure the bezel to
the chassis.
