    The left-hand LED, yellow LED indicates link speed, on for 1000-BaseT and off for 100-BaseT. Cabling The Prosody X 1U HA chassis is connected to other network equipment via Cat 5e or Cat 6 cables. There are two types of interface and they have different pin assignments.

    Some legacy E1 PSTN networks require 75 Ohm trunk connection. The default impedance for E1 trunks in the Prosody X 1U HA chassis is 120 Ohm. It is important to confirm with the network operator which impedance the PSTN is using during the installation process, as a mismatch can lead to signal degradation and erratic equipment behaviour that is difficult to diagnose later.

    Ethernet equipment legacy compatibility The Prosody X IP communication interfaces are designed to operate at Fast Ethernet (100Base-T) or Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-T) data rates. If connected to network equipment that is not Fast Ethernet capable, the interface will attempt to negotiate a 10Base-T link speed.

    Note: the front and rear fan assemblies are not the same. Power Module Failure The Prosody X 1U HA chassis has a redundant power system. LEDs on the front panel and on each power module show the power module is operating. If a single module fails the appropriate LED, marked on the front panel, will go out and an alarm will sound.

    The replacement power module LEDs, front and rear should now come on. Moving an installed Prosody X 1U HA chassis A Prosody X 1U HA chassis should not be moved while operating. If a Prosody X 1U HA chassis has to be moved, the power must be disconnected to prevent equipment damage or risk to operator safety.
