Cards required to migrate TDM chassis and cabinets to IP

Last Updated : Feb 27, 2020 |
Prolog information
The following cards, and cables or cable kits are necessary to allow the CS 1000M or Meridian 1 small system (Option 11) chassis or cabinet to migrate to Device Adapter.
Note:
Chassis or cabinet that is already migrated to provide call signaling and media over IP do not need to add additional equipment. It is not necessary to change an existing MGC, although it may be necessary to add DSP resources if cards are moved in the system. For example, if an administrator replaces four cards used for trunks with four cards for analog or digital stations, there may be an increase in the required DSP ports.

Applicable hardware

Customers with a mix of versions from the supported list can use Device Adapter. The E5 and E6 vintages of certain items are cards or cables that are:
  • Made with lead-based solder free; and therefore, not ROHS compliant (E5).
  • Made without lead-based solder; and therefore, fully ROHS compliant (E6).
Because there is no functional difference, they can be intermingled successfully. Although, manufacturing of the E5 is discontinued.

Device Adapter provides support for sending SNMP traps to System Manager for alarms on the MGC chassis and cabinets. Specifically, Device Adapter sends XSM and PSTAT signals to System Manager. Therefore, if some event happens with PSTAT or XSM, the administrator should examine the alarm in System Manager in Services Events Alarms.
