Verifying A Card - Nortel 1000E Installation And Configuration Manual

Verifying a card

Installing and configuring a Voice Gateway Media Card
Optionally, you can connect a maintenance terminal to the maintenance port
on the Voice Gateway Media Card, to see the Voice Gateway Media Card's
boot messages or to perform maintenance on it. See "Connecting CS 1000E
system components" on
1 Install the Voice Gateway Media Card into the card slot.
a. Pull the top and bottom locking devices away from the card faceplate.
b. Insert the Voice Gateway Media Card into the card guides and gently
push it until it makes contact with the backplane connector.
c. Hook the locking devices.
Note: The Voice Gateway Media Card boots automatically. If the Voice
Gateway Media Card is a Follower, then it retrieves the node
configuration files from the IP telephony node Leader. If it is a Leader,
then you must configure it. See IP Line: Description, Installation, and
Operation (553-3001-365) for a detailed configuration procedure.
2 Observe the Voice Gateway Media Card faceplate display.
The red LED remains lit until the card is configured and enabled, at which
point it turns off. When the card has finished booting, the display is either
"Fxxx" or "Lxxx" (where xxx is the number of telephones registered to the
card), indicating that the card is a Follower or Leader.
3 If required, you can now perform maintenance on the card using Element
Manager, or through the card's maintenance port if you connected a
maintenance terminal to it. See IP Line: Description, Installation, and
Operation (553-3001-365) for detailed maintenance procedures.
