Chapter 2: Installing and cabling the G650 Media

Overview

You usually install media gateways in the same equipment room as the media server rack
hardware. However, you can also install the media gateways in another location, which can
include another state or country.
A port network (PN) consists of up to four G650 media gateways in a rack. The media gateway
in the A location, at the bottom of the rack, contains the TN2312AP IP Server Interface (IPSI)
circuit pack. One IPSI per port network is recommended.
Note:
Before you start the media gateway installation, check the location of the AC and

DC power receptacles. The receptacles must be on separately fused circuits that
are not controlled by wall switches. The receptacles must be located within 10
feet (3 meters) of the media gateway and outside the main distribution frame
(MDF) area.
Note:
For convenience, install the reference IPSI in a PN that is in the same room as

the control network hardware. The reference IPSI is the IPSI that is associated
with the license file.
