Installation Prerequisites
For the TMG3200 system installation to proceed without interruption, it is important that you verify that
you have on hand all of the necessary materials. Prior to beginning the installation, you should have
prepared for the following:
•
Adequate space for the installation of your TMG3200. Consider that you will need to mount the
TMG3200 on a 19” customer-provided equipment rack.
•
Adequate power supply and power connections. To guarantee an uninterrupted supply, the
TMG3200 must be powered by a dedicated power source. Consider that the TMG3200 will require
one to two power connections. TMG3200s (other than 2U DC-powered units) are not shipped with
power cords; therefore, you will need to plan for your power cable requirements.
•
To run your telecom applications on the TMG3200, you will need to have purchased an adequate
number of licenses for the features that you will use.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It may occur if
electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and may cause complete or intermittent failure.
Attention
Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and replacing modules:
• Ensure that the TelcoBridges TMG3200 is electrically connected to earth ground.
• Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and ensure that it makes good contact with your
skin. Connect the wrist strap clip to an unpainted surface of the TMG3200 or the
grounded equipment rack in order to channel away all ESD voltage safely to ground.
To guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must be in proper
working condition.
• If no wrist strap is available, and you must work with the TMG3200, ground yourself by
touching a metal part of the chassis.
