Rack Mount Safety Instructions
When installing the chassis in a rack, implement the following safety
instructions:
•Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature: If installed in a closed or multi-
unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore,
consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment
compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) of 45°C (113°F).
•Reduced Air Flow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that
the amount of air flow required for safe operation on the equipment is not
compromised.
•Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such
that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
•Circuit Overloading: 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.
•Reliable Earthing: Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be
maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other
than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips.)
¾To mount the device in a 19-inch rack:
1. Attach the two mounting ear brackets (supplied) to each side of the device's chassis,
using the supplied screws, as shown in the figure below:

2.4.1 Connecting to Earth (Ground)
The device must be permanently connected to earth (ground), using an equipment-earthing
conductor.
Protective Earthing
The equipment is classified as Class I EN60950 and UL60950 and must be
earthed at all times.
¾To earth the device:
1. Connect an electrically earthed strap of 16 AWG wire (minimum) to the chassis'
earthing screw (located on the rear panel), using the supplied washer.
2. Connect the other end of the strap to a protective earthing. This should be in
accordance with the regulations enforced in the country of installation.
2.4.2 Connecting to IP Network
The device's CPU module provides two 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports for connectivity to the

Version 6.0 19 February 2010
Installation Manual 2. Installing the Device
2.4.3 Connecting to E1/T1 Trunks
The device supports up to two E1/T1 trunk interfaces, providing up to two RJ-48c ports.
When implementing two trunks, the device can support PSTN Fallback, allowing trunks to
connect to the PSTN during a power outage (i.e., no communication with the IP network).
The device also supports fractional E1/T1.
Warning: To protect against electrical shock and fire, use a 26 AWG min wire to
connect T1 or E1 ports to the PSTN.
¾To connect the E1/T1 trunks:
1. Connect the E1/T1 trunk cables to the device's RJ-48c ports.
2. Connect the other ends of the trunk cables to your PBX/PSTN switch.
RJ-48c trunk connectors are wired according to the figure below.
Figure 2-7: RJ-48c Connector Pinouts for E1/T1
The digital trunks can also be connected in such a way as to support PSTN Fallback in
case of power outage, as described in the procedure below:
¾To connect the digital trunk interfaces for PSTN Fallback:
For a 1+1 Fallback option, connect Port Ito your PBX, and Port II to the PSTN. If the
power fails, a relay connects Trunk I to II, acting as a Fallback for PSTN trunks.

Installation Manual 20 Document #: LTRT-85605
Mediant 600
2.4.4 Connecting E1/T1 Trunks for PSTN Fallback
The device offers a PSTN Fallback feature when provided with two E1/T1 PRI spans. The
digital module's Port II serves as a dedicated Fallback port connected to the PSTN. In the
event of a power failure (i.e., no Ethernet link), a relay connects ports Iand II by the closing
of a metallic switch inside the module, re-routing trunk traffic from the PBX to the PSTN is
established (instead of from the PBX to the IP network).
Figure 2-8: PSTN Lifeline for PRI E1/T1
Notes:
•Only ISDN supports the PSTN Fallback feature when the number of
supported channels (e.g., 30) is less than the maximum number of
possible channels provided by the physical ports (e.g., two E1 trunks).
When the number of supported channels (e.g., 60) equals the maximum
number of channels provided by the physical ports (e.g., two E1 trunks),
then other protocols such as CAS are also supported.
•This PSTN Fallback feature has no relation to the PSTN Fallback
Software Upgrade Key.
2.4.5 Connecting to ISDN BRI Lines
The device can house up to two BRI modules, each supporting four BRI ports, thereby
providing a total of up to 8 BRI ports.
Note: BRI interface is applicable only to devices running the SIP protocol.
Warning: To protect against electrical shock and fire, use a 26 AWG min wire to
connect the BRI ports to the PSTN.
