Installing a Signaling Server
Procedure 55
Connecting a Nortel CP PM Signaling Server
Note: Refer to Figure 49 when performing the following procedure.
1 Establish a maintenance terminal connection at the back of the shelf of
the IPMG, IPE cube, or 11C chassis. The com (SDI) port of the CP PM
circuit card Signaling Server is routed through the backplane of the shelf
to the 50 pin MDF connector on the back of the shelf. A special cable is
shipped with the CP PM signaling server that adapts the 50 pin MDF
connector to a 25 pin DB connector (NTAK19EC). A DTE-DTE null
modem serial cable is required to adapt the SDI port to a typical PC serial
port.
a. Connect the NTAK19EC cable (shipped with the CP PM Signaling
Server) to the 50 pin MDF connector on the back of the desired shelf
of the IPMG, IPE cube or 11C chassis.
b. Connect a DTE-DTE null modem serial cable to the 25 pin DB
connector at the end of the NTAK19EC cable.
c. Connect the other end of the DTE-DTE null modem serial cable to the
serial port on the maintenance terminal.
2 Insert the Signaling Server circuit card into an appropriate slot on the shelf
of the IPMG, IPE cube, or 11C chassis. The CP PM Signaling Server is
hot-pluggable so it may be inserted without powering off the system. The
maintenance terminal now has access to the CP PM Signaling Server
through the 50-pin MDF connector connected at the back of the shelf of
the IPMG, IPE cube or 11C chassis.
3 Connect the Signaling Server to the TLAN subnet. Insert the RJ-45 CAT5
(or better) cable into the LAN1 port (TLAN network interface) on the front
of the Signaling Server. The LAN1 port is the middle one of the three
network interfaces.
4 Connect the Signaling Server to the ELAN subnet. Insert the RJ-45 CAT5
(or better) cable into the LAN0 port (ELAN network interface) on the front
of the Signaling Server. The LAN0 port is the bottom one of the three
network interfaces.
