INSTALLING THE 16CNFU PCB
System Requirements
The 16CNFU PCB is a hot-swappable PCB that can be installed in any slot in the Aspire M/L/XL cabinet. It is
displayed by the PCPro and WebPro applications as a 16ESIU PCB. The Aspire system software must be 6.xx or
higher.
The Ethernet connector can use a Category 5 (CAT5) unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable to connect to an Ether-
net hub or switch within the customer premises.
Take the following steps to install the 16CNFU PCB.
1. Place the 16CNFU PCB in the desired slot in the Aspire M/L/XL cabinet .
2.
After the DS11-DS13 LEDs (LED1-LED3 on the back of the PCB) are on, the unit is fully operational.
3.
Connect the Ethernet cable coming from a hub or switch from the customer premises to the connector
on the 16CNFU PCB. Verify that the link light on the Ethernet connector is on green.
At this point, the 16CNFU PCB is physically accessible. Please see Chapter 3 : Aspire Conference Bridge
PCB ConÞguration (page 7) on how to conÞgure the 16CNFU PCB.
Installation Precautions
The PCBs used in this system make extensive use of CMOS technology that is very susceptible to static electric-
ity. Static discharge must be avoided when handling the PCBs. Always use the following precautions.
●
Wear a grounded wrist strip any time you handle a PCB.
●
Make all PCB DIP switch and jumper setting changes before inserting the PCB in the cabinet.
●
Carry the PCB in a conductive polyethylene bag to prevent static electricity damage.
Aspire Conference Bridge Manual
When installing the PCB, observe the following precautions to avoid
damage to hardware due to static electricity or to being exposed to
hazardous voltages.
