Prosody X Installation guide
1Getting started
1.1 Unpacking and assembly
1.1.1 Chassis packaging
The Prosody X box contains the following accessories:
•One IEC 60320 type C13 power cord
•Standard 19 inch rack locating brackets (fitted to chassis)
•Four low profile adhesive feet (fitted to chassis, removable)
The chassis packaging is made from material which can be recycled.
1.1.2 Prosody X location
The chassis must be installed in a restricted access location in accordance with IEC
60950-1: 2005 Clause 1.7.14.
1.1.3 Rack mounting 19 inch equipment
WARNING
THE CHASSIS WEIGHS UP TO 3KG. THE WEIGHT SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO
CONSIDERATION WHEN EQUIPMENT CABINETS AND MOUNTING
HARDWARE ARE PURCHASED AND INSTALLED. CONSULT YOUR
COMPANY HEALTH & SAFETY PROCEDURES AND POLICIES FOR
GUIDANCE ON LIFTING AND HANDLING.
Care must be taken to prevent a hazardous condition due to uneven mechanical
loading.
The unit may also be located on a shelf in a 19 inch cabinet
1.1.4 Free standing
The unit is also suitable for free standing operation, in which case the standard rack
mounting brackets may be removed. In free standing installations care must be taken
to provide adequate strain relief to all cables to prevent damage to the unit if
accidentally moved.
1.1.5 Airflow and cooling
CAUTION
The chassis uses forced air-cooling internally. It is imperative that Prosody X
systems are operated with all covers fitted and that none of the ventilation
holes/slots on the front, or rear of the chassis are obstructed. Installation in a rack
should be such that the airflow required for safe operation is not compromised.
When rack mounted in a closed or multi-unit cabinet, the operating environment of
the cabinet environment may be greater than the room ambient. In this case
consideration should be given to maintaining an operating environment that does not
exceed 40 °C.
5 of 22

Prosody X Installation guide
1.1.6 Power connection
The Prosody X is supplied as an AC powered system. The Prosody X will auto adjust
to the supplied voltage in AC installations (100 to 240 volts AC ± 10% at 50 to 60Hz ±
3Hz). The internal power supply is rated at a maximum of 55W, however the unit is
designed to consume no more than 25W during normal operation (see Appendix D).
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit
and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection
and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should
be used when addressing this concern.
1.1.7 Earth connection
Reliable earthing of rack mounted equipment must be maintained. Particular attention
should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch
circuit, such as mains distribution strips that are typically located inside equipment
cabinets. See note below:
NOTE
Read the safety information in before installing any equipment.
1.1.8 Electrostatic discharge precautions
During installation and maintenance, handle all connectors by their plastic casing or
connector shield. Do not touch metal parts within any socket as you plug connectors
in.
Before plugging in any interface cables, ground yourself to dissipate any static charge
you may be carrying.
These precautions will minimise the chance of any ESD damage to the Prosody X.
1.1.9 1U chassis physical details
The Prosody X chassis is designed to fit into 19 inch rack mounting cabinets
commonly found in telecoms switch room environments.
Pin Width Depth Height Weight #

Prosody X Installation guide
Figure 1-1 1U chassis front layout (4 trunk shown)
The front of the chassis presents a panel with the following:
•A power indicator
•Up to four E1/T1 trunk connectors depending on system capacity
•Two fast Ethernet connectors for Prosody X IP communications.
•One Ethernet to access Hardware platform Interface – For future use
The rear of the chassis provides access to the following interfaces and information:
•AC power inlet fitted with an IEC 60320 type C14 socket
•Rating label
1.2 Powering the Prosody X on
Connect power cord to the Prosody X according to the following procedure:
•Check that the electrical outlet is grounded and it is within the permitted range
shown on the rating label
•Plug the power cord into the AC power inlet socket on the rear of the Prosody X
•Connect the other ends of the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet
•Connect E1/T1 or Ethernet network cables as required. The type of cables and
connectors used depend upon the interface mix contained with the Prosody X
NOTE
The system may take several minutes to initialise following power on.
1.3 Powering the Prosody X off
To completely remove all power from the unit, disconnect the mains cord from the AC
inlet.
It is recommended to maintain a 30 second gap between each power off and power
on cycle.
1.4 E1/T1 trunk numbering
Each Prosody X E1/T1 connector is assigned a unique number. These numbers are
assigned sequentially beginning at zero. The front panel labelling identifies the trunk
numbering.
7 of 22

Prosody X Installation guide
1.5 Ethernet connections
Each Ethernet connection has a unique MAC address and will be assigned an initial
IP address when connected to the network. Please consult the specific application
documentation for information on configuring IP addresses.
The Prosody X IP communication interfaces are designed to connect to full duplex
Ethernet switch equipment, which can sustain the required data throughput with little
or no packet loss. There are two Prosody X IP communication interfaces as this can
offer additional redundancy, if required, in a correctly configured network. Assuming
both interfaces are connected and have valid layer 1 connections, the Prosody X will
default to one interface to carry IP traffic rather than performing load sharing.
Design of a redundant Ethernet network is beyond the scope of this document,
however at a minimum, each Prosody X IP communication interface would connect to
a separate Ethernet switch.
1.6 Cabling
The Prosody X is connected to other network equipment via CAT 5, 5e, 6 or 6e
cables. There are two types of interface and they have different pin assignments.
The pin-out of the RJ45/48 connectors for both E1/T1 and Ethernet connections are
detailed below. For E1/T1 and 10/100 Ethernet connections:
Receive on the Prosody X should be connected to transmit on the network equipment
Transmit on the Prosody X should be connected to receive on the network equipment
Cross-over cables will be required in instances where two connector sockets with the
same signal pinouts are connected together.
NOTE
E1/T1 crossover cables are wired differently to 10/100 Ethernet crossover cables.
NOTE
Shielded cables are recommended in all instances.
Ample strain relief should be fitted when installing all cables, both signal and power.
Any damage caused by inadequate strain relief to cards or power connectors will not
be covered by your warranty.
Both E1/T1 and Ethernet cables may be connected and disconnected while the unit is
active.
Bear in mind that disconnecting an active E1/T1 trunk will cause an alarm condition
both within the Prosody X unit and at the corresponding network end of the cable.
You may wish to check with the network operator if there is a requirement for
advance notification of E1/T1 trunk installation and maintenance.
CAUTION
When making a telephony network connection, to minimize the risk of fire, only
telecommunications line cord of 26 AWG or larger may be used.

Prosody X Installation guide
1.6.1 Cable pinouts
120 Ohm E1 or 100 Ohm T1
The 8-contact RJ45 Plug on the cable between each E1/T1 trunk and the 100 or 120
Ohm network trunk must be wired as follows:
Pin Signal Direction
1 Rx+ input
2 Rx- input
4 Tx+ output
5 Tx- output
10/100Base-T (Prosody X IP communication)
The 8-contact RJ45 Plug on the cable between the card and an 10/100Base-T
network must be wired as follows:
Pin Signal Direction
1 Tx+ output
2 Tx- output
3 Rx+ input
6 Rx- input
Cat 5 cabling is recommended for 10/100Base-T Ethernet connections. All eight wires
are normally populated on off the shelf Ethernet patch cables.

Figure 1-2 RJ45 pin numbering
Cat 5 cabling is recommended for 120 and 100 Ohm trunk connections.
1.6.2 75 Ohm E1 trunk connection
NOTE
Each E1 trunk in a Prosody X chassis has configurable impedance.
Some legacy E1 PSTN networks require 75 Ohm trunk connection. The default
impedance for E1 trunks in the Prosody X is 120 Ohm. It is important to confirm with
the network operator which impedance the PSTN is using during the installation
process, as a mismatch can lead to signal degradation and erratic equipment
behaviour that is difficult to diagnose later.
The following signalling services may be expected to be configured for 75 Ohm in
legacy switching equipment which provides the following protocols:
•DASS2
•DPNSS
•SS7
•All E1 CAS protocols
9 of 22

Prosody X Installation guide
Each 75 Ohm trunk is normally connected via a pair of coaxial cables with BNC
connectors. A Balun is available to convert between RJ45 and co-axial cabling. The
Balun also converts between 120 and 75 Ohm interfaces, so the system does not
need to be configured for 75 Ohm operation when this type of converter is used.
Figure 1-3 75 Ohm E1 Balun
1.6.3 Cable lengths
Cat 5 cabling is designed for an overall span length of 100m. It is recommended that
the length of either a single point to point cable, or the cumulative length of multiple
cables which may be connected via a patch panel does not exceed 100m. For span
lengths approaching the 100m recommended limit it is important to specify and install
high quality cables.
For E1 trunks converted to BNC cabling, it is recommended that overall span length
is limited to 100m maximum and that 75 Ohm cabling and connectors are used. The
75 Ohm adapter should be installed close to the Prosody X RJ45 socket to minimise
impedance mismatch effects.
Span lengths in excess of 100m may continue to operate, in this case the installer
should check that there is adequate margin on signal levels to maintain expected
service levels.
1.7 Ethernet equipment legacy compatibility
The Prosody X IP communication interfaces are designed to operate at Fast Ethernet
(100Base-T) data rates. If connected to network equipment that is not Fast Ethernet
capable, the interface will attempt to negotiate a 10Base-T link speed. In most cases
this will impose an artificially low channel count on VoIP connections that will limit the
Prosody X system capacity.
CAUTION
The Prosody X IP communication interfaces should not be connected directly to
legacy “hub” (half duplex) network equipment.
Modern Ethernet switching equipment operates in a full duplex data mode. It is not
recommended to route Prosody X IP communication interface via a network path
containing a half duplex “hub” as this will reduce system performance.
1.8 System initialisation
The system start-up process will run automatically at power on.
10 of 22

Prosody X Installation guide
1.9 Initial hardware checks
When the Prosody X is turned on, the STARTING UP indicator will turn on and the
unit will go through the boot sequence. Using the AIT/ACT guide, the card can be
configured. Configuring the card is indicated by LOADING. When complete, the IN
SERVICE indicator on the front panel will turn on.
1.10 Multiple ProsodyX configurations
To configure multiple ProsodyX, please refer to the AIT/ACT guide.
1.11 Common set-up problems
1.11.1 System TDM clock not configured
Where one or more E1 or T1 trunks are connected to network equipment, correct
operation depends on TDM clock synchronisation.
A common set-up problem concerns the configuration of the system TDM clock which
is required to synchronise the Prosody X to other E1/T1 equipment. This should be
set to recover the clock from a network source or PSTN, where available. The
recovered clock source will default to E1/T1 trunk 1 and may be re-configured to any
other connected E1/T1 trunk via the ACT or Switch API.
It is not possible to synchronise one Prosody X to multiple network sources that are
not synchronised to each other. An example of this scenario can be two or more
E1/T1 trunks, each connected to a separate carrier network.
1.11.2 Ethernet IP address out of range
All Ethernet end points in a network require a valid and unique IP address. Consult
the network administrator for information on the available range of IP addresses.

Prosody X Installation guide
2Hardware maintenance
2.1 Servicing
There are no user serviceable parts inside the Prosody X chassis. The unit may
optionally be powered off for inspection every year and to remove any dust that
accumulates internally. This should only be performed by qualified technical
personnel.
2.2 Cooling fan failure
The unit relies on forced air cooling to maintain the internal electronics within rated
operating temperatures. The unit has two cooling fans visible at the rear the unit is
designed to continue operating with a single fan failure. It is strongly recommended
that the unit is scheduled for fan replacement in the event of any fan failure. Fan
operation can be checked by accessing the system status page via the application
specific browser interface.
Contact your supplier for advice on fan replacement if the unit is out of warranty.
2.3 Moving an installed Prosody X
A Prosody X should not be moved while operating. If a Prosody X has to be moved,
the power must be disconnected to prevent equipment damage or risk to operator
safety. Please follow the application specific system shutdown procedure prior to
powering down an operating Prosody X.

WARNUNG
DIESES GERÄT IST NICHT FÜR DEN EINSATZ MIT EINEM
KALTGERÄTESTECKER VORGESEHEN (EIN
SPANNUNGSVERSORGUNGSSYSTEM, DAS NICHT DIREKT GEERDET IST
und WO DIE EXPONIERTEN, LEITENDEN TEILE DER ELEKTRISCHEN
INSTALLATION GEERDET SIND)
F.2 Wechselspannung Anschluss
Prosody X wird mit IEC60320 eingeformten Netzkabel geliefert. Innerhalb Europas
handelt es sich um dreipolige Stecker mit den passenden European Agency
Prüfzeichen. Zusätzlich sind die Kabel mit <HAR> anerkannten Markierungen
versehen.
Innerhalb Nordamerikas handelt es sich um dreipolige Stecker mit UL und CSA
Typenzulassung.
Die mitgelieferten Netzkabel entsprechen Ihren Bedürfnissen vor Ort. Falls noch kein
Stecker vorhanden ist oder ein Stecker ausgetauscht werden muss, darf der Stecker
nur von jemandem angebracht werden, der dazu autorisiert ist. Wenn ein
Spannungsversorgungs-kabel ausgetauscht werden muss, muss ein
dementsprechend zugelassenes Spannungs-versorgungskabel verwendet werden.
F.3 Definition des Stromkreises.
Die Ethernet-(VoIP-Traffic und Systemadministration) und USB-Anschlüsse sind
Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) Schaltungen. SELV-Schaltungen sind so konzipiert
und geschützt, dass unter normalen Bedingungen die maximale Stromstärke
zwischen zwei beliebigen zugänglichen Teilen des Stromkreises, von denen jeweils
einer Masse oder Erde sein kann, 42.4 Volt (Spitzenwert Wechselstrom) oder 60V
DC nicht überschritten wird, auch im Falle eines Fehlers.
