IP Series Installation Manual

Hardware overview/installation

Each IP Series IP PBX consists of a single cabinet with:
• Two or 10 expansion slots (IP 40 and IP 200, respectively)
• An external transformer
• An IP module that includes:
A mainboard
–
A Memory Module (hard disk drive)
–
A Local Network Card
–
An optional Remote Network Card, in either three-channel or 12-channel configuration
–
Each IP PBX is shipped with one port card (see page B.3 for the port card options). The port cards
are interchangeable between the IP 200 and IP 40.
IP 200
The rack-mountable IP 200 measures
5.5" H x 17.5" W x 9" D. Optional
external "ears" attach to each side for
mounting the IP 200 in a 19" data rack
or on a wall.
The rightmost third of the IP 200
houses the IP module, and the leftmost
two-thirds houses the port cards. The port cards are accessible from the front of the IP 200. The first
port card is in Slot 1 (farthest to the right), and additional port cards are added from right to left.
The IP 200 has 10 available port-card slots.
The IP module consists of:
• Mainboard — Provides the AC power connector, two serial ports, and the MOH connector.
• Local Network Card (LNC) — Provides an RJ-45 10/100Base-T Ethernet connector and an RJ-11
overhead paging port.
• Memory Module — A hard disk drive that contains the call-processing software and provides
storage for voice mail.
The mainboard is secured to the floor of the IP module with
metal standoffs that also provide support for the LNC. The
network card sits on top of the standoffs and is secured to
them with screws. The Memory Module is mounted on a steel
plate, which in turn sits on top of the sheet metal that forms the
sides of the IP module and is secured by screws.
The mainboard and the LNC are joined by means of a
50-pin ribbon cable that runs from J9 on the mainboard to J1 on the LNC. The Memory Module is
joined to both of the circuit boards by means of a standard 40-pin IDE cable that connects to JP9 on
the LNC and JP2 on the mainboard. A standard four-pin power connector runs from J8 on the main-
board to the back of the Memory Module.
The Local Network Card (LNC) connects to the backplane by means of a 60-pin cable that uses J6 on
the Ethernet card and slides onto U3 on the backplane. The optional Remote Network Card (RNC) is
inserted into the 72-pin socket U13 on the LNC, located directly behind the RJ-11 overhead-paging
port. (Refer to each card's installation instructions for more details.)
