Network Interface Installation Considerations

Depending on local regulations, a surge arrestor may be required at the Ethernet, X.21, or E1 service
entrance.
Choose a proper arrestor for operation with an Ethernet, X.21, or E1 circuit and wire it according to
manufacturer instructions. The arrestor typically is only installed on the customer side of the Ethernet,
X.21, or E1 service entrance.

MTS Installation Special Considerations

Special considerations includes MTS installation considerations for electrical service access,
hazardous materials, and seismic active areas.
Electrical Service Access
Adhere to the local electrical codes and regulations regarding clearance for electrical service access.
Hazardous Materials and Equipment
Compliance with all local and any other regulations concerning the handling and use of hazardous
materials and equipment is the sole responsibility of the customer and associated agents.
Seismic Active Areas
The MTS operating in seismic active areas may require additional bracing of the equipment cabinet.

Environmental Considerations

When planning the MTS site, carefully consider the environment in which the MTS operates.
Temperature Considerations
Regulated the temperature in which the MTS operates to ensure trouble-free operation. Excessive
temperatures result in generated heat that may reduce the life-span of the electronic equipment, and
cause permanent damage.
It is recommended that the ambient temperature (at the air inlet) does not exceed 35 °C in normal
operating conditions.
WARNING:
Ensure that no other objects cover the top of the MTS and leave at least 20 cm of clearance
above the cabinet.
Ensure that no other objects cover the top of the MTS and leave at least 20 cm of clearance
above the rack.
For exceptional conditions, the ambient temperature must not exceed the following thresholds:
• MTS LiTE 400 MHz (without fans): 55 °C
