Installing the media gateways

Floor plans and equipment layouts for typical media gateway installations are provided in the Overview
section of the documentation library.
Media gateways typically are installed in the same equipment room as the media server rack hardware
(control network); however, they can be installed in another location, including another state or country.
NOTE:
Before you begin the media gateway installation, check the location of the AC/DC power
receptacles. The receptacles must be on separately fused circuits not controlled by wall
switches. They must be located within 10 feet (3 meters) of the media gateway and outside
the main distribution frame (MDF) area.
NOTE:
For convenience, we recommend installing the reference IPSI, the one associated with the
license file, in a port network in the same room as the control network hardware.
Before installing the media gateways, you must check to make sure you have all the required equipment
and are aware of warnings when working around sources of power. Perform these tasks to install the
