Ethernet switch port 2. Subsequent MASs and optional servers use ports 3, 4,
and so on.

MSS Ethernet connection to private LAN. Usually this connection uses Ethernet
switch port 1.

Connecting MAS port boards
Connecting Dialogic port boards
Skip this procedure if the Modular Messaging system uses an IP H.323 or IP SIP switch
integration. These integrations do not use port boards.
The server has pre-installed Dialogic port boards. Since Modular Messaging uses the new
PCI-e version of the Dialogic boards, do not move Dialogic boards from an S3500 server if
upgrading to the S8730 server.
Use the type of cable appropriate to the switch integration to connect the Dialogic port
board to the corporate telephone switching system. The organization responsible for
maintaining the corporate switch must make the connection to the telecommunications
system.
Supported port board connections
The server supports the following port board connections:
• Analog using a standard RJ-11 tip/ring cord or individual tip/ring cables and a 12–
port harmonica.
• E1–QSIG and T1–QSIG using an RJ-48C Ethernet cable.
• Dialogic Set Emulation (DSE) boards using a D/82U cable.
