Notes: 
 
In some cases, the cables provided are not appropriate for the customer’s 
PBX or NIU side connections. In this case, customers can create custom 
cables. Custom E1 and T1 PRI cables require: 
 
Cat5e STP UTP cable 
 
Add the ferrite that came on the Latitude-shipped cable 
 
RJ-48c connector on the break out side box 
 
In E1 environments, MeetingPlace can be tied directly to the PSTN, and 
no CSU is needed. 
 
Australia
Latitude does not supply any E1 cables with servers shipped 
to Australia. 
Figures 3-7 to 3-9 are examples of different configurations and their 
resulting system capacities. 
 
Note: E1 Multi Access Blades are installed starting at the left-most card 
slot (slot 1, when you are facing the front of the server) and proceed 
towards the right, followed by Smart Blades. IP Access Blades are installed 
starting at the right most card slot (slot 16) and proceed towards the left.
