2.2.2 Mounting the MP-1xx in a 19-inch Rack
Rack Mount Safety Instructions (UL)
When mounting the chassis on a rack, be sure to implement the
following Safety instructions:
•Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit
rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore,
consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature
(Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
•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. Appropri-ate 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.)
2.2.2.1 Mounting the MP-10x in a 19-inch Rack
Refer to Figure 2-2. First, attach a short bracket on one side and a long bracket on
the other side. To attach either bracket to the MP-10x, unscrew 2 screws on a

2.3.3 Installing the Life Line
The Life Line provides a wired phone connection to any PSTN or PBX FXS port
when there is no power, or the LAN fails. The MP-108/FXS and MP-104/FXS
provide a Life Line connection on port #4 (refer to Figure 2-12). MP-102/FXS
provides a Life Line connection on port #2.
Note: The MP-124 and MP-10x/FXO do NOT support the Life Line.
When there’s a power outage or a LAN failure, the Life Line is wired to an (analog)
POTS connection (providing access to a PSTN or a PBX) analog extension line
(refer to Figure 2-12). MP-10x/FXS Users can therefore use the Life Line phone
even when the MP-10x loses AC power or LAN connection. The Life Line’s splitter
connects pins #1 and #4 to another source of an FXS port, and pins #2 and #3 to
the POTS phone. Refer to the Life Line pinout in Figure 2-11 below.
Note: The use of the Life Line on LAN failure can be disabled using the
‘LifeLineType’ ini file parameter. For detailed information on the
ini file refer to Section 6on page 29.

1. Before using your Web browser to access the MP-1xx device’s Embedded
Web Server, change your PC’s IP address and Subnet Mask to correspond
with the MP-1xx factory default IP address and Subnet Mask, shown in Table
3-1. For details on changing the IP address and Subnet Mask of your PC, refer
to Windows™ Online Help (Start>Help).
Table 3-1: MP-1xx Default IP Address / Subnet Mask
FXS or FXO Default IP Address
FXS 10.1.10.10
FXO 10.1.10.11
MP-1xx default Subnet Mask is 255.255.0.0, default Gateway IP address is 0.0.0.0
2. Connect your computer to the MP-1xx using one of the following two methods:

MP-1xx
MP-1xx 18 Document #: LTRT-61402
•Use an Ethernet cross-over cable to directly connect the network card on
your computer to the RJ-45 jack on the MP-1xx.
•Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect the network card on your
computer to a port on a network hub/switch. Use a second standard
Ethernet cable to connect the MP-1xx to another port on the same
network hub/switch.
