0product
devices.

Note
titleCaution

Observe the following guidelines when installing an

Spacevars
0product
system:

  • Always verify that the device power cord is disconnected from any power source prior to installation.
  • Ensure that the installation site has adequate air circulation and meets the minimum operating conditions for the system as specified in Edge 8000 Series Hardware Specifications.

Prerequisites

Gather the following items before starting the installation. Refer to Edge 8000 Shipping Contents for the list of items included in shipping. 

Installation items required:

  • For rack mounting the unit:
    • Phillips-head screwdriver
    • Chassis bracket and chassis bracket screws — To attach brackets to the chassis
    • Rack mount screws — To attach the chassis by its mounting brackets to the rack
  • SFP+ modules — To connect interface between the SFP ports of the unit to the public (WAN) network and the SFP ports of the unit.
  • Analog telephony cables — To connect analog telephone devices to the the analog (FXS, FXO, and PRI (T1/E1, FXS and FXO ports of an 8300 device)) ports of the unit to TDM-based telephone devices and services. (Does not apply to the Edge 8100 model).
  • Ethernet cables — To connect the private (LAN) ports gigabit Ethernet ports of the unit to private (LAN) switches or to , individual VoIP devices; to connect , and public (WAN) ports to external WAN devices; and to connect one HA port to another HA port between two High Availability Edge 8300

Device

For a High Availability deployment, perform this procedure for both 8300

Spacevars
0product
devices.

Start

  1. Remove the device and accessories from the shipping container.
  2. Place the device on a flat, dry surface such as a desktop, shelf, or tray.

  3. For a rack mounted deployment, install the device on the rack.

    1. Attach the rack mount brackets to both sides of the Edge 8000

      Spacevars
      0product
      chassis with the chassis bracket screws supplied by
      Spacevars
      0company
      .

    2. Install the chassis in the rack with rack mount screws (not supplied by
      Spacevars
      0company
      ).

Connect the Network Cables

Connect all SFP+ modules and all cables supplied by your system administrator or network planning team. This includes , the HA Ethernet cable between two

devices for a High Availability (HA) deployment, the HA Ethernet cable between the 8300 devices.

Start

  1. Install the SFP+ modules.
  2. Connect the routing cables per your network design:
    1. Cables to the two SFP+ ports
    2. Cables to the eight Gigabit Ethernet (GE) RJ-45 ports
  3. For the Edge 8300 device, connect the analog telephony cables:
    1. T1/E1 cables to the T1/E1 ports
    2. FXS phone lines to the Amphenol connector
    3. FXO lines to the RJ-11 ports (for 8300 devices equipped with FXO ports)
  4. For a High Availability system, connect an Ethernet cable between the HA ports of the two Edge 8300
    Spacevars
    0product
    devices.
    Example: connect an Ethernet cable between port GE - 6 (ge6) of the first 8300 unit to the same port, GE - 6 (ge6), of the other 8300unit.
  5. Connect the console cable from your System Administrator (laptop) computer to the Console RJ-45 port, or from a network terminal server to the Console RJ-45 port.

Connect the Power Cables and Power on the Device

The 

Spacevars
0longproduct
devices include single AC, redundant AC, and redundant DC models.

Connect the device to the power source and power on the system.

Note
titleCaution
  1. Always connect the power cord(s) to a power source suitable for the power required of the unit being installed. Refer to Specifications and Certifications.
  2. Secure the power cord to a cable management system using a fastener or tie wrap.


Warning
titleWarning

The equipment has a separate protective earthing terminal on the chassis that must be permanently connected to earth ground to adequately ground the chassis and protect the operator from electrical hazards.

Start

  1. Connect the AC or DC power.
    1. If the unit is equipped with for AC power, connect the AC power cable or cables from the unit to the AC outlet or outletsto the unit.
    2. If the unit is equipped with for DC power supplies, connect the DC power source to the power lugs on the device.
  2. Press the Power Switch on.
    1. If the unit is equipped with a single AC power supply, press the Power Switch to the On position to start the device.
    2. If the unit is equipped with redundant AC or DC power supplies, press the Power Switch for 4 - 5 seconds to start the device.
  3. Make sure the power LED on the front panel is a solid green after the device powers on.
