This section lists optional and required equipment that can be used to install,
configure, and maintain the ITG Line 2.0 card and i2004 Internet Telephone
products.
•
A server configured with Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP). For example, you can use a Nortel NetID server.
•
External modem router (recommended Bay Networks Netgear RM356)
to allow remote dial-up connection to E-LAN for technical support.
•
PC with MAT version 6.67.07 (with update disk)/ OTM 1.0 (or later)
installed. Turn to "ITG MAT 6.67.07 (with update disk)/OTM 1.0
management PC" on page 159 for MAT PC configuration information.
•
Local TTY or terminal in switchroom - required for leader 0
configuration
•
Shielded CAT 5 Ethernet cables to connect ITG Line 2.0 card to external
hub equipment
•
10/100-Base-T Ethernet port (optional auto-sensing) to support T-LAN
and E-LAN network connections
•
10/100-Base-T Ethernet port (optional auto-sensing) in each location an
i2004 Internet Telephone resides.
•
Serial cables
For Meridian 1 large systems, the standard filtering is provided by the 50-Pin
filter connectors mounted in the I/O Panel on the back of the IPE shelf. The
filter connector connects externally to the MDF cables and internally to the
NT8D81AA Backplane to I/O Panel ribbon cable assembly. All Tip and Ring
pairs, including the T-LAN pairs, are filtered within the connector. For
100BaseT operation, the standard connector must be replaced with the
NTCW84JA connector which is identical to the existing connector but has
unfiltered T-LAN Tip and Ring pairs.
