About Telephony Configurations for Mixed Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Systems
Cisco Systems ships all Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server systems with the necessary number
of cards and cables for the type of mixed configuration:
For All Mixed Configurations
E1, T1 PRI, and IP configurations all use Multi Access Blades. Cisco Systems ships the necessary
number of Multi Access Blades with the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server system. The number
of telephony cables you receive depends on the number of ports being activated. You receive one
telephony cable for every 30 ports in an E1 Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system, and one telephony cable
for every 23 ports in a T1 PRI Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system.
For T1 CAS/IP Configurations Only
Cisco Systems ships the necessary number of T1 Smart Blades with the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace
Audio Server system. Each T1 Smart Blade transition module in the back of the Cisco Unified
MeetingPlace Audio Server has connectors for four trunk lines. The number of telephony cables you
receive depends on the number of ports being activated. You receive one telephony cable for every 24
ports in a T1 CAS Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system. No breakout box is needed for this configuration.
For E1/IP and T1 PRI/IP Configurations Only
Cisco Systems ships either one or two breakout boxes and cables, depending on the configuration, with
the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server system. Cisco Systems also ships the necessary number
of trunk card interface cable assemblies (50-pin Amphenol cables) for your configuration. These connect
the breakout boxes to the Multi Access Blade transition modules.
For the Non-IP Portion of the Mixed Cisco Unified MeetingPlace System
For the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8106, the T1 Smart Blade transition modules begin in slot 1 on the
bottom and move up (for T1 CAS/IP configurations). The Multi Access Blade transition modules begin
in slot 1 on the bottom and move up (for E1/IP and T1 PRI/IP configurations).
For the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8112, the T1 Smart Blade transition modules begin in slot 1 on the
right and move to the left (for T1 CAS/IP configurations). The Multi Access Blade transition modules
begin in slot 1 on the right and move to the left (for E1/IP and T1 PRI/IP configurations).
For the IP Portion of the Mixed Cisco Unified MeetingPlace System
The Smart Blades begin after the last PSTN blade (either a T1 Smart Blade or Multi Access Blade for
E1 or T1 PRI) and do not have any cables connected to them.
For the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8106, the Multi Access Blade transition modules begin in slot 6 on
the top and move down.
For the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8112, the Multi Access Blade transition modules begin in slot 16
on the left and move to the right.
