Connecting the MGC-50 to the LAN Network
Connect one end of a network cable to the LAN connector on the rear panel of
the MGC and the other end to the network.
Connecting the MGC-50 to the Operator Workstation (PC) Directly via
RS-232 (Optional)
Connect one end of an RS-232 cable to the COM 2 connector on the front
panel of the MGC Control Unit and the other end to the serial port of the
operator station (See RS-232 Pin Assignment, A-3).
Connecting the MGC-50 to the Network
To connect the MGC-50 to the ISDN network and T1-CAS network:
This is an optional Network Interface Card. If the MGC-50 has to be connected
to the public ISDN network then an external CSU or where required, similar
equipment is needed.
T1-CAS network is optional. It allows you to connect Audio Only participants to
conferences via T1-CAS lines. It uses the same network connections as ISDN
and the procedure described below is applicable to both ISDN and T1-CAS
lines.
Connect the 8-pin RJ-45 connector of the network cable to the NET
•
RJ-45 jack on the rear panel of the MGC. Repeat this step for each of the
ISDN network lines to be connected to the Network Interface card
installed in the MCU.
