Cisco Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server Installation Guide

The following table shows the European Union telephony requirements.

•

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 Cisco-shipped cable

•

RJ-48c connector on the breakout side box

•

In E1 environments, MeetingPlace can be tied directly to the PSTN, and 
no CSU is needed.

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

E1 Multi Access Blades are installed starting at the left-most card slot 

(slot 1, as you face the front of the server) and proceed toward the right, 
followed by Smart Blades. IP Multi Access Blades are installed starting at the 
right-most card slot (slot 16) and proceed toward the left.

The following examples show various card slot configurations for the 8112 
server.

The following illustration shows a pure E1 configuration: 960 PSTN ports, 
960 total ports. In the example, MA=E1 Multi Access Blade. Slots 7–10 are 
reserved for CPU and system controller cards.

• Connection Type: Euro ISDN and QSIG Digital Telephony (E1)

• Cable length: Maximum cable length 100 meters 

• Cable provided by Cisco: 25-foot cable with ferrite 

• Socket: Connector must be RJ-25 socket or NBNC (female) connector

Cisco does not supply E1 cables with servers shipped to Australia.
