Network Equipment, Numbers and Addresses

This section describes the requirements your site must meet for the safe
installation and operation of the system.
Place the MGC-25 on a hard, flat surface such as a desktop or mount it on a
rack. For more information, see Chapter 2, "Installing the MGC-25 in a
Rack" on page 2-8.
The airflow of the MGC-25 is from front to back. Be sure that the areas in the
front and back of the system are clear for proper ventilation.
When mounting the system on a rack, always use brackets or a shelf. Never
install the MGC-25 system by only fastening the front screws to the rack.
Obtain the following information from your network administrator:
IP address for the MGC-25
•
• Subnet Mask for the MGC-25

For ISDN configurations, obtain the following definitions of your equipment
and information from your network service provider:
PRI line(s) or Leased Line(s)

•
Switch Type
•
Line Coding

• Line Framing
• Numbering Plan

If the MGC-25 has to be connected to the public ISDN network, an external
CSU or similar equipment is needed.
