Safety

This equipment meets all applicable requirements of both the CSA C22.2 No.60950 and UL

60950.

The shock hazard symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert personnel to electrical shock hazard or equipment damage. The following precautions should also be observed when installing telephone equipment.

• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.

• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.

• Use caution when working with telephone lines.

Danger: Risk of shock. Read and follow installation instructions carefully. Ensure the system and system expansion units are unplugged from the power socket and that any telephone or network cables are unplugged before opening the system or system expansion unit. If installation of additional hardware and /or servicing is required, disconnect all telephone cable connections prior to unplugging the system equipment. Ensure the system and system expansion units are plugged into the wall socket using a three-prong power cable before any telephone cables are connected.

Caution: Only qualified persons should service the system. The installation and service of this hardware is to be performed only by service personnel having appropriate training and experience necessary to be aware of hazards to which they are exposed in performing a task and of measures to minimize the danger to themselves or other persons. Electrical shock hazards from the telecommunication network and AC mains are possible with this equipment. To minimize risk to service personnel and users, the system must be connected to an outlet with a third-wire ground. Service personnel must be alert to the possibility of high leakage currents becoming available on metal system surfaces during power line fault events near network lines. These leakage currents normally safely flow to Protective Earth ground via the power cord. Therefore, it is mandatory that connection to an earthed outlet is performed first and removed last when cabling to the unit. Specifically, operations requiring the unit to be powered down must have the network connections (central office lines) removed first.

Enhanced 911 Configuration

Caution: Warning

Local, state and federal requirements for Emergency 911 services support by Customer Premises Equipment vary. Consult your telecommunication service provider regarding compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Radio-frequency Interference

Warning: Equipment generates RF energy.

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the installation manual, it may cause interference to radio communications. It has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with ICES.003, CLASS A Canadian EMI Requirements. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is not permitted and is likely to cause interference.

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment. Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician.

Chapter 2 Overview

This chapter provides an overview of the R2MFC Media Bay Module (R2MFC MBM).

This chapter includes the following information:

• “General information”

• “Administration and maintenance tools” on page 22

• “R2MFC MBM faceplate elements” on page 22

• “R2MFC MBM back and underside elements” on page 24

General information

The R2MFC MBM is a media bay module (MBM) that provides MFC-R2 connectivity over an E1 trunk. The module works as a converter between Euro-ISDN and MFC-R2 protocols, allowing the MFC-R2 protocol E1 to work directly with the BCM without the use of an external converter. The BCM recognizes the converter as a Euro-ISDN trunk MBM and, therefore, provides all of the functionality on the MFC-R2 E1 that is available on a Euro-ISDN E1. The MFC-R2 trunk is controlled by DIP switches and the Command Line Inte rface (CLI) on the R2MFC MBM. Figure 1 provides an illustration of the R2MFC MBM.

Figure 1 R2MFC MBM

R2MFC Media Bay Module Installation and Configuration Guide

22 Chapter 2 Overview

Administration and maintenance tools

R2MFC MBM configuration involves the following:

• Internal link configuration for the PRI internal link to the BCM. The internal link uses preset characteristics and therefore does not require localization.

• External link configuration of the MFC-R2 E1 the external interface to public network. The external link allows for localization in different countries.

External link configuration is performed using the DIP switches on the front of the R2MFC MBM or by using the CLI, which is accessed through a serial port on the faceplate of the R2MFC MBM. Internal link configuration is performed using either Element Manager or Unified Manager. Refer to “Configuring the R2MFC MBM” on page 45 for information on how to use the configuration tools.

R2MFC MBM setup requirements

This section provides the following information about the setup requirements for the R2MFC MBM:

• “Config DIP switches”

• “MBM DIP switches”

• “Environment checklist”

• “Software requirements” on page 30

• “Electrical requirements” on page 30

Config DIP switches

Determine and set the Config DIP switches to the correct country code, and second dial tone setting for the R2MFC MBM. Predefined country codes are set by the Config DIP switches. Special configurations are set through the CLI. See “Configuring the MFCR2 (external) link” on

page 49 for a procedure on how to set the DIP switches for a predefined country code or how to

create a special configuration to meet the installation needs.

The default country code setting is Mexico config 1. See Appendix A, “Configuring DIP switch

settings and definitions,” on page 91 for a list of the available country codes, the country default

settings, and the second dial tone settings.

Second dial tone, when turned on, generates and supplies a second dial tone to the end user, after the end user dials the trunk access code. The end user hears a dial tone between the last digit of the access code, indicating that a line was accessed. See “Turning on second dial tone” on page 58 for a procedure on how to set the DIP switches, and configure the BCM for second dial tone to work properly.

MBM DIP switches

Before the R2MFC MBM is installed, DS30 buses and offsets must be set by DIP switches. Use the six DIP switches on the underside of the R2MFC MBM, behind the power connector.

The R2MFC MBM occupies two DS30 buses from the DS256 bus; however, only the first is actually used. Buses 1 and 8 are reserved for internal BCM communications. Therefore, the R2MFC MBM DIP switches can only be set to use buses 2 through 6 on a 2/6 split or buses 2 through 5 on a 3/5 split. If there are not enough DS30 resources available, an expansion module can be installed to provide the extra resources required. For information about setting DIP switches and installing an expansion module, refer to the BCM Installation and Maintenance guides supplied with the host system.
