Preparing for installation
Contents This section contains information on the following topics:
"Preparing the site" (page 13)
"Unpacking and inspecting" (page 14)
"Taking inventory" (page 14)
Preparing the site
When installing a system, address the following factors.
•environmental
•structural
•electrical
For more information refer to Communication Server 1000M and Meridian 1
Large System Planning and Engineering (NN43021-220).
After the site has been planned, the following items must be completed
prior to ISDN BRI installation.
•Wire the building between ISDN BRI terminal locations and the
distribution frame. Refer to the "Engineering guidelines" section of ISDN
Basic Rate Interface Feature Fundamentals (NN43001-580) for wiring
specifications and guidelines. For the location of the terminals and the
distribution frame, use the Building Cable Plan developed according
to instructions in the "Planning the site" section in Communication
Server 1000M and Meridian 1 Large System Planning and Engineering
(NN43021-220).
•Install any Intelligent Peripheral Equipment (IPE) or Network Modules
needed to house ISDN BRI cards as determined in "Engineering
guidelines" of ISDN Basic Rate Interface Feature Fundamentals
(NN43001-580). Refer to Communication Server 1000M and Meridian

14 Preparing for installation

description of how to install the modules.
Unpacking and inspecting
ISDN BRI cards and external communication cables are shipped in separate
packages. To unpack them, follow the general precautions recommended
by computer and telephone equipment manufacturers.
•Remove items that generate static charge from the installation site.
•If the installation site is carpeted, spray it with an antistatic spray.
•Ground yourself before handling any equipment.
•Carefully remove the equipment from its packaging. Do not puncture or
tear the containers. Use scissors or a utility knife.
•Inspect the equipment for obvious faults or damage. Report any
damaged component to your sales representative and the carrier who
delivered the equipment.
•When unpacking the circuit cards, hold them only by their nonconductor
edges. Do not touch connector pins or components.
•Keep the circuit cards in their antistatic bags until you are ready to
install them.
•Do not stack the plug-in cards on top of each other. This can damage
the components and the printed circuits on the cards.
Taking inventory
After unpacking, verify that all the equipment necessary is at the site
before installation begins. Check the equipment received against the
shipping documents. Note any shortages and report them to your sales
representative.

Installing ISDN BRI hardware for line applications
The following lists the procedures for installing ISDN BRI hardware for line
applications. The system must already be installed and operating according
to the instructions in Communication Server 1000M and Meridian 1 Large
System Installation and Commissioning (NN43021-310) before performing
these procedures.
For a successful installation, perform these procedures in the order listed
below:
Step Action
1Select the card slots where the ISDN BRI cards will be located.
2Remove the module cover for card installation.
3Install the Multi-Purpose ISDN Signaling Processors (MISPs).

4Install the S/T Interface Linecards (SILCs) and/or U Interface
Linecards (UILCs) or Basic Rate Signaling Concentrators (BRSCs).
5Connect ISDN BRI terminals. This procedure comprises the
following:
•Connect the system to the Main Distribution Frame (MDF).
•Cross-connect the MDF.
•Connect ISDN BRI terminals to the DSL.
•Initialize the ISDN BRI terminals.
—End—
Procedure 1
Selecting the card slots
Step Action
To install ISDN BRI cards, perform the following steps:
1Identify all the slots that can contain the ISDN BRI cards. First
identify the modules with unused network and peripheral card slots
and then remove the covers from the identified modules. To identify
the modules, use the following Print Programs.
•LD 22 to print the system configuration and identify unused
network card slots to install MISPs
•LD 20 to list unused IPE card slots to install SILCs, UILCs and
BRSCs
Table 2 "ISDN BRI card location" (page 16) lists the modules that
can house ISDN BRI cards.

2Locate the card slots in the modules that house ISDN BRI cards.
Group all SILCs, UILCs, BRSCs, superloops and the MISP that
supports them in the same network group to avoid using junctors
for dedicated connections.
—End—
The following rules apply when selecting the card slots:
MISPs
•MISPs are inserted into the Core/Network Module for Large Systems
(Multi Group). Refer to the LD 22 printout to identify modules with
unused network card slots and to Table 2 "ISDN BRI card location"
(page 16) for the card slots in these modules that can house MISPs.
•An MISP cannot share network loop addresses with a Superloop
Network Card in the Large Systems. The MISP requires two network
loop addresses and one network card slot.
•An MISP supports a maximum of 8 BRSCs and two line cards.
•An MISP supports a set of 4 SILCs or UILCs when not supporting a
BRSC.
•An MISP can support both BRSCs and SILCs or UILCs at the same time.
If it serves one BRSC, an MISP can also support three line cards. If it
supports two or more BRSCs, an MISP can also support two line cards.
BRSCs
•Install one BRSC for each IPE module.
•With a BRSC configured, an IPE module can support a maximum of 15
line cards. These can be up to eight UILCs combined with any other
seven peripheral cards (including SILCs), or up to 15 SILCs.
SILCs/UILCs
•The cards are installed in the Core/Network Module or the IPE Module
for all system options. Refer to the LD 20 printout to identify modules
with unused peripheral card slots.
•In each module, install a maximum of 15 SILCs, or eight UILCs
combined with any other seven peripheral cards (including SILCs). If
15 SILCs are installed, the remaining slots in the module may contain
a BRSC, a UILCs, or non-ISDN BRI cards that do not need the - 48 V
power supply of the IPE module (this restriction is due to power supply
limitations for the module). If eight UILCs are used, you may install any
other card which could reside in the IPE module.

20 Installing ISDN BRI hardware
Procedure 2
Remove the module cover for card installation
Step Action
To remove the covers from the modules with unused card slots, follow the
procedure below. Refer to Figure 4 "Module cover locking latches" (page
20).
1Use a flat-blade screwdriver to unlock the left latch on the front of the
cover by turning the screw 1/4 turn clockwise.
2Use a flat-blade screwdriver to unlock the right latch on the front of
the cover by turning the screw 1/4 turn counterclockwise.
3While holding the cover so it does not fall off, slide the latches toward
the center of the cover.
4Pull the cover toward you and lift it away from the module.
5Place the cover in a safe place away from the working area to avoid
damaging it.
6Repeat steps 1 through 5 for each cover requiring removal.
