CHAPTER 4
Before you begin the installation of the ETERNITY GENX, make sure that the required telecom wiring has been
done.
The number of extensions you require and their location will determine the type of cabling you require on your
premises.
We recommend that you plan the wiring and the installation of the ETERNITY GENX according to your current and
expected future requirements.
Before you begin to install and set up the ETERNITY GENX Platform, make sure you have the following items:
• SARVAM UMG Application License
• A Main Distribution Frame (MDF)
• A suitable location to install the Main Distribution Frame and the ETERNITY GENX platform.
• Cables for trunk lines and extensions.
• The Cards of ETERNITY GENX.
• One or more Single Line Telephone for testing.
• Power supply.
• One or more active Two-wire trunk lines for test calls.
• A modem for the ISDN T1E1PRI line.
• An NT1 termination device for the ISDN BRI line.
• Appropriate cables and connectors to set up and test the WAN interface of the ETERNITY GENX and the
LAN connection.
• A standalone PC or a PC connected in a LAN that can PING the ETERNITY GENX.
• A SIM card to test mobile network connectivity.
• A SIP Account to test VoIP connectivity.
Well begun is half done; plan your hardware installation well.
The Main Distribution Frame (MDF)
The MDF connects outside telephone lines coming from the local exchange to the CO lines of the ETERNITY
GENX.
In simple form, the MDF is a special metallic frame designed and constructed with columns of receptacles to firmly
hold the termination modules for the trunk and extension cables.
The cables or trunk lines to/from the Public Telephone Exchange terminate on the line side and cross connections
(jumpers) run to the ETERNITY GENX side of the MDF. From those terminals, a multi-core cable runs from a
second set of terminals into the ETERNITY GENX.
