SignalPath 201-SA (SP201-SA) Installation Guide

Version C, July 2004 Part Number 15469.0100 SignalPath Software Version 1100

This Installation Guide presents a quick, standard installation of the SP201-SA. Note: The needs of your network may require an installation that varies from the standard installation. For a customized installation, see the SP201-SA Customization and Maintenance Guide. For hardware information, see the SP201-SA Hardware Reference Guide. The SP201-SA is available in two versions: The two-port SP201-SA, supporting one trunk circuit of up to 30 channel circuits The four-port SP201-SA, supporting up to two trunk circuits of up to 30 channel circuits each (for a total of up to 60 channel circuits) Note: A standard trunk circuit (from one external device, through the SP201-SA, to another external device) comprises trunk connections to two ports. The SignalPath configuration software defines each side of the trunk circuit (that is, each connection to a port) as a trunk. This document uses the term trunk to indicate a connection to one port; it uses the term trunk circuit to indicate the complete end-to-end connection (over two ports). Using these definitions, a trunk circuit comprises two trunks. Before you start this installation, be sure you have filled out the worksheet for adding this device to your network. See the SP201-SA Site Planning Worksheet. See the following sections for a standard installation of the SP201-SA: Section A, Physical Installation Section B, Port Configuration Section C, Clocking Configuration Section D, Trunk Configuration Section E, Channel Configuration Section F, SP201-SA Warmstart

A Physical Installation
1. Place the SP201-SA on a tabletop or shelf. 2. Connect the cables for one set of trunks to the ports on the rear of the SP201-SA chassis, as follows: a For the CAS trunk (DTMF, R1, R2, or N5), do one of the following:

For DTMF or R1, connect a T1 cable to the RJ48C port labeled Port 1. or For R2 or N5, connect an E1 cable in one of the following ways: - Connect an E1 cable to the RJ48C port labeled Port 1. or - Connect an E1 cable to the BNC Rx and Tx ports labeled Port 1.

b For the ISDN trunk, do one of the following:

For ETSI ISDN on a two-port SP201-SA, connect an E1 cable to the RJ48C port labeled Port 2. (For ETSI ISDN on a four-port SP201-SA, connect an E1 cable to the RJ48C port labeled Port 3.) or For NI2 ISDN on a two-port SP201-SA, connect a T1 cable to the RJ48C port labeled Port 2. (For NI2 ISDN on a four-port SP201-SA, connect a T1 cable to the RJ48C port labeled Port 3.)

SP201-SA Installation Guide

Note: Channels on trunk 1 of the two-port SP201-SA map to channels on trunk 2, and vice versa. In a standard installation of the four-port SP201-SA, channels on trunk 1 map to channels on trunk 3 (and vice versa), and channels on trunk 2 map to channels on trunk 4 (and vice versa). 3. If you are installing a four-port SP201-SA, connect another set of trunks to ports on the rear of the chassis, as follows: a For the CAS trunk (DTMF, R1, or R2), do one of the following:

For DTMF or R1, connect a T1 cable to the RJ48C port labeled Port 2. or For R2, connect an E1 cable to the RJ48C port labeled Port 2.

b For the ISDN trunk, do one of the following:

For ETSI ISDN, connect an E1 cable to the RJ48C port labeled Port 4. or For NI2 ISDN, connect a T1 cable to the RJ48C port labeled Port 4.

4. Connect the SP201-SA to its external power supply. Then connect the power supply to a power source (a power outlet), and switch the power on. Note: Shipments within North America include a power cable for connection to the power outlet. For shipments outside North America, contact your distributor for a cable that meets local requirements to connect the power supply to an outlet. 5. Connect an RJ45 cable from the RJ45 Supervisory port of the SP201-SA to the DB9 COM port of a control terminalfor example, a PC. (An RJ45-to-DB9 adapter is included with the cable.) 6. On the control terminal, start a terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal. Configure the serial communications for the control terminal as follows: Baud rate Data bits Parity Stop bit Flow control 9600 bps 8 None 1 None

When communication has been established, you should see the user> prompt.
7. If you dont see a prompt, press Enter once.

The user> prompt appears.

Note: After you have connected a local terminal to the SP201-SA device, you can connect a remote terminal to the local terminal and manage the device from a remote location. See the document Remote Access to SignalPath Devices.
