Mediant 800B Gateway & E-SBC Connecting to LAN The device provides up to four 10/100/1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet) RJ-45 ports and up to eight 10/100Base-TX (Fast Ethernet) RJ-45 ports for connection to the LAN. These LAN ports can operate in pairs (groups) to provide LAN port 1+1 redundancy. In each pair, one port serves as the active LAN port while the other as standby.
(in the same subnet). Note: If you are implementing the LAN port-pair redundancy, ensure that the two ports making up a pair are each connected to a different network (in the same subnet). Version 6.8 Mediant 800B Gateway & E-SBC...
Mediant 800B Gateway & E-SBC Analog Devices This section describes how to connect the device to analog equipment. 5.3.1 Connecting the FXS Interfaces The procedure below describes how to cable the device's FXS interfaces. Warnings: • The device is an INDOOR unit and therefore, must be installed only indoors.
Connect one end of an RJ-11 cable to the FXO port (labeled FXO). Figure 5-7: Connecting FXO Interfaces Connect the other end of the cable to the required telephone interface: (e.g., telephone exchange analog lines or PBX extensions). Version 6.8 Mediant 800B Gateway & E-SBC...
Mediant 800B Gateway & E-SBC 5.3.3 Connecting the FXS Analog Lifeline The device's analog Lifeline phone feature redirects IP calls to the PSTN upon a power outage or loss of IP network connectivity, thereby guaranteeing call continuity. The Lifeline is provided by FXS Port # 1. This port connects to the analog POTS phone and the PSTN / PBX using a splitter cable.
To connect the BRI ports: Connect the BRI cable to the device's BRI RJ-45 port. Connect the other end of the cable to your ISDN telephone or PBX/PSTN switch. Figure 5-11: Cabling BRI Ports Version 6.8 Mediant 800B Gateway & E-SBC...
