Cisco Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server Installation Guide

The following table shows the T1 telephony requirements by country.

In some cases, the cables provided may not be appropriate for the customer’s 
PBX or NIU side connections. In this case, customers can create their own 
custom cables. Custom T1 CAS and IP cables require:

•

Cat5e STP UTP cable, with shielded RJ-45 connectors terminated to the 
cable shielded at both ends

•

Add the ferrite that came on the Cisco-shipped cable

The FCC Part 68 registration number is EMC USA-34550-XD-T. Be 

sure to use only FCC and CSA- or UL-listed channel service units (CSUs).

The following illustrations show examples of different configurations and 
their resulting system capacities.

T1 PRI Multi Access Blades are installed at the left (with slot 2 left 

vacant if no MA or MA-4 is needed to populate it and if the slot is not needed 
for Smart Blade capacity). Next, T1 Smart Blades are installed to the right of 
this. Last, IP Multi Access Blades are installed starting at the right-most card 
slot (slot 16), and proceed toward the left.
