NOTE:
Once the IPSIs are connected to the control network, they may alarm if the firmware is not
the most current. The alarm automatically goes away once the IPSI firmware is upgraded.
If duplex reliability, connect one end of the GREEN CAT5 straight-through cable to the IPSI adapter on
the back of media gateway in position A.
If high or critical reliability, in addition connect one end of the RED CAT5 straight-through cable to the
IPSI adapter on the back of media gateway in position B.
Dedicated control network: The other end is connected to the next available port on the Ethernet switch.
Nondedicated control network: The other end is connected to the next available port on the customer’s
network. If not already connected, connect it.
