1Getting started
1.1 Unpacking and assembly
1.1.1 Chassis packaging
The Prosody X 1U HA box contains the following accessories:
•Two IEC 60320 type C13 power cords (for AC chassis only)
•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 1U HA 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 10KG. 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
1U HA 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 temperature of the
cabinet may be greater than the room ambient temperature. In this case
consideration should be given to maintaining an operating temperature that does not
exceed 40 °C.

Prosody X Installation guide
6 of 25
1.1.6 Power connection AC option
The Prosody X 1U HA chassis can be supplied as an AC powered system. The AC
chassis power modules will auto adjust to the supplied voltage in AC installations
(90V to 264V AC at 47 to 63Hz).
Each hot-swap power module is rated at a maximum power of 250W, however the
unit is designed to consume no more than 125W total during normal operation (see
Appendix G).
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 over-current protection
and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should
be used when addressing this concern.
1.1.7 Power connection DC option
The Prosody X 1U HA chassis can be supplied as a DC powered system. The DC
chassis power modules require an input -36V to -72V DC.
Each hot-swap power module is rated at a maximum power of 220W, however the
unit is designed to consume no more than 125W total during normal operation (see
Appendix G).
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 over-current protection
and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should
be used when addressing this concern.
1.1.8 Earth connection
A reliable earth connection 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 this document before installing any equipment.
1.1.9 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 1U
HA chassis.

1.3 Powering the Prosody X 1U HA chassis off
•The “Standby” button should be used to turn the system power off before
removing the power to the system. This will ensure file systems are closed down
in an orderly way.
•To completely remove all power from the unit, switch the power supplies off and
then disconnect the power cords/wire pairs from the AC or DC inlets.
CAUTION
It is recommended that the “Standby” button is used to turn the system off before
power is removed.
CAUTION
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 1U HA chassis E1/T1 connector is assigned a unique number.
These numbers are assigned sequentially beginning at zero. The front panel labelling
identifies the trunk numbering.
1.5 Ethernet connections
The Prosody X 1U HA chassis uses multiple IP addresses. Please consult the
specific application documentation for information on configuring IP addresses.
The Prosody X 1U HA chassis 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 1U HA chassis 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 1U HA chassis 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 1U HA chassis IP communication interface
would connect to a separate Ethernet switch.
The Ethernet ports on the Prosody X 1U HA chassis support MDIX, meaning
crossover cables are not required.
Figure 1-5 Ethernet connections - Primary and Secondary
The primary (left hand) Ethernet port will come into service first, soon after power is
applied to the chassis. The secondary (right hand) port will come into service when
the on-board system management has booted and initialised.

Prosody X Installation guide

1.5.1 Ethernet LEDs
The two Ethernet connections have two LEDs.
The right-hand side Green LED indicates a link is present and flashing indicates data
traffic.
The left-hand LED, yellow LED indicates link speed, on for 1000-BaseT and off for
100-BaseT.
1.6 Cabling
The Prosody X 1U HA chassis is connected to other network equipment via Cat 5e or
Cat 6 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 100BaseT Ethernet connections:
Receive on the Prosody X 1U HA chassis should be connected to transmit on the
network equipment
Transmit on the Prosody X 1U HA chassis 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 pin-outs 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 1U HA chassis 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.

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 1U HA chassis has configurable impedance.
Some legacy E1 PSTN networks require 75 Ohm trunk connection. The default
impedance for E1 trunks in the Prosody X 1U HA chassis 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

Prosody X Installation guide
12 of 25
legacy switching equipment which provide the following protocols:
•DASS2
•DPNSS
•SS7
•All E1 CAS protocols
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 1-7 75 Ohm E1 Balun
1.6.3 Cable lengths
Cat 5e 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 connected via one or more patch panels does not exceed 100m. For span
lengths approaching the 100m recommended limit it is important to specify and install
high quality cables. In particular for 1000BaseT connections, Cat 6 is recommended
for span lengths approaching 100m.
For E1 trunks converted to BNC connectors and co-ax cabling, it is recommended
that overall span length is limited to 100m maximum and that 75 Ohm cabling and
connectors are used.
Span lengths in excess of 100m may continue to operate and 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) or Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-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.

Prosody X Installation guide
13 of 25
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.
1.9 Initial hardware checks
When the Prosody X is turned on various LED indicators are used to indicate the
state of the system.
The two power supply status LEDs will be illuminated at all times in normal operation.
The Prosody X 1U HA chassis Quick Start guide describes the operation of the other
LEDs.
1.10 Multiple Prosody X 1U HA configurations
To configure multiple Prosody X 1U HA chassis, please refer to the AIT/ACT guide.
1.11 Common setup 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 setup problem concerns the configuration of the system TDM clock which
is required to synchronise the Prosody X 1U HA chassis 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 0 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 1U HA 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
Other than a Lithium battery, there are no user serviceable parts inside the Prosody X
1U HA 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.
2.1.1 Battery replacement
The internal battery is not re-chargeable and has a service expectancy of five years
under normal operating conditions. If the battery completely discharges, the system
will continue to operate, however time and date information will be lost when the unit
is turned off.
Please read the important safety information in Appendix E regarding battery
replacement.
2.2 Cooling fan failure
The Prosody X 1U HA chassis relies on forced air cooling to maintain the internal
electronics within rated operating temperatures. The unit has two field replaceable
“Hot swap” cooling fan assemblies, one front and one rear.
A cooling fan failure may be indicated by the openHPI software running on the
system.
System software monitors and controls the speed of all these fans. The fan speed will
vary as the temperature of the unit changes.
CAUTION
This should only be performed by qualified technical personnel.
Figure 2-1 Front fan assembly retaining screws

Prosody X Installation guide
15 of 25
Figure 2-2 Rear fan assembly retaining screws
The fans are removed by simply unscrewing the retaining screws of the assembly
with the failed fan and pulling it out. The replacement fan assembly should be
replaced without delay. The retaining screws should then be tightened.
Note: the front and rear fan assemblies are not the same.
2.3 Power Module Failure
The Prosody X 1U HA chassis has a redundant power system. LEDs on the front
panel and on each power module show the power module is operating. If a single
module fails the appropriate LED, marked on the front panel, will go out and an alarm
will sound. The PSU LED may also go out, depending on the type of internal failure.
Figure 2-3 Power Supply Unit identification
The failure will be detected by the on-board system software. The audible alarm can
be silenced by pressing the “mute” button on the front panel.
The failed power module may be removed without powering the chassis down.
CAUTION
This should only be performed by qualified technical personnel.
To remove the failed power module:
1. Isolate the supply voltage to the failed power module
2. Remove the power cord (AC) or wire pair (DC) from the failed power supply
3. Remove the retaining screw
4. Pull the failed power supply out
