Large system specific cards to migrate TDM to IP

Keywords:
The following cards, and cables or cable kits are necessary to permit the CS 1000 or Meridian 1 Intelligent Peripheral Equipment (IPE) TDM shelf to migrate to IP. This is an essential requirement to allow the shelf to be controlled through Device Adapter.
Note:
IPE shelves that are 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 MG-XPEC because they are all pre-loaded with sufficient 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; and therefore, only partly 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.

NTDW20AAE6
Media Gateway Extended Peripheral Equipment Controller (MG-XPEC)
The MG-XPEC card replaces the NT8D01 XPEC controller card, NT1P62 Fiber XPEC controller card, or NT7R52 Remote Carrier Interface card in the controller slot of an NT8D37 IPE module for CS 1000M. MG-XPEC has two onboard DSP DBs that provide 192 channels.

MG-XPEC Network and TTY cable kit.
The contents include:
  • Two new IO Panels
  • Two NTDW26ABE6 TTY Cables (Pin out same as MG1010)
  • Eight Cat-5e Ethernet cables
  • Twelve RJ45 couplers
  • One Card Slot label

The XSMs in multiple groups on a large CS 1000 typically have a single XSM acting as the master, which is connected to the MG-XPEC. The remainder of the XSMs chain to pass signaling to the master.
The following figure shows cabling within a column. All shelves in the column have their backplanes linked to allow a single XSM in the base to signal faults and alarms.
The different columns connect in a chain, with the master XSM reporting to the MG-XPEC, the status of itself and the different slave XSMs.
Only the master needs to be the indicated vintage. Older XSM subordinate cards at subordinate unit 1 and higher can connect to the master through the J5 to J6 connections, but only the master (NT8D22AEE5 or NT8D22AEE6) can signal to the MG-XPEC and pass alarms and ringing generator messages correctly.
On the NT8D22AE XSM card, ensure the following:
  • Switch SW1-1 is set to Off.
  • Switch SW2-2 is set to On.
Switches SW1-1 and SW2-2 are on the NT8D22AE XSM card, both E5 and E6.
Device Adapter provides support for sending SNMP traps to System Manager for alarms on the MG-XPEC shelves. 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.
