  • Printer-friendly version
  • EPUB version

Only MGC card, MGXPEC card, Digital Line Cards (DLC) and Analog Line Cards (ALC) are allowed in the chassis or cabinet. The system will not be supported if there are any other cards present in the chassis or cabinet, e.g. Universal line card.

Media Gateway Controller (MGC)

MGC Loadware

MGC loadware is contained on the MGCs compact flash.

A UCx MGC pre-programmed compact flash containing the correct loadware must be purchased from E-Metrotel in order to be supported.

The E-MetroTel supported MGC loadware lineup is as follows:
    BOOTCODE:      MGCBAP01
    CSP:                   MGCCBD04
    MSP:                   MGCMAB01
    FPGA:                 MGCFAA19
    APPLICATION:   MGCABA07
    DB1:                    DSP1AB06
    DB2:                    DSP2AB06
    BCSP:                 MGCCBD04

Supported combination of DSP daughterboards

The following marking is present on MGC circuit board for daughterboard placement.

DSP daughterboard slot 1: D/B 1 SLOT 11 LOW OR HIGH DENSITY

DSP daughterboard slot 2: D/B 2 SLOT 0 LOW DENSITY ONLY

  • 32-port DSP daughterboard NTDW62xx is supported in DB SLOT 1 and SLOT2
  • 96-port DSP daughterboard NTDW64xx is supported only in DB SLOT 1
  • 128-port DSP daughterboard NTDW78xx is supported only in DB SLOT 1
A minimum of 96 DSP ports is required for MGC to be supported with UCx

MGC Serial connections

Meridian Option 11C Cabinet (10 card, NTAK11)

The serial  cable connector can be found on the bottom left front of the Meridian Option 11C Cabinet (10 card, NTAK11)>. The NTBK48AA - DB9F to 3/DB25M - 3 Port SDI Cable for the Option 11 is required and plugs into the connector labelled SDI.

MG 1000E Chassis (4 card, NTDU14)

The serial  cable connector can be found on the back of the MG 1000E Chassis (4 card, NTDU14). The NTBK48AA - DB9F to 3/DB25M - 3 Port SDI Cable for the Option 11 is required.

MG 1010 Chassis (10 card, NTC310)

The serial  cable connectors can be found on the front of the MG 1010 Chassis (10 card, NTC310). The NTC325AAE6 serial cable kit is required. It contains a N0211606 RJ45 to DB25 (male) adapter which is intended to connect the MG1010 to a DCE device and two RJ45 to DB9 (female) N0211605 adapters which have an integrated null modem and are intended to connect the MG1010 to DTE devices.

Media Gateway eXtended Peripheral Equipment Controller (MGXPEC)

MGXPEC offers the option of converting a TDM based CS1000M system to CS1000E, an IP soft-switch solution.

MGXPEC transforms a single IPE shelf into 2 IPMG shelves and allows reuse of existing peripheral equipment.

Please refer to the document CS1000M IPE Shelf Conversion to CS1000E IP Media Gateway (MG XPEC) Installation Method – 65-2960, March 10, 2010, Standard Issue: 01.01 for instructions on converting CS1000M to CS1000E.

 

MGXPEC Loadware

A UCx MGC pre-programmed compact flash containing the correct loadware must be purchased from E-Metrotel in order to be supported.
See Installing Compact Flashcards On An MGXPEC for instructions on how to replace the compact flash on your MGXPEC.

MGXPEC Hardware

  • NTDW20AAE6 MGXPEC (Media Gateway Extended Peripheral Equipment Controller)
  • NTDW25AAE6 MGXPEC cable kit
  • 2 new IO Panels
  • 2 NTDW26ABE6 TTY Cables (Pin out same as MG1010)
  • 8 Cat-5e ethernet cables
  • 12 RJ45 couplers
  • 1 Card Slot label

 

Extended System Monitor (XSM)

UCx does not support the XSM module (NTDW22AEE5) which connects to the MGXPEC through a serial connection. This has no affect on call processing or features. The MGXPEC supports all features supported by the MGC in a UCx system.

MGXPEC Card Slots

The  MGXPEC card has to be seated in the Cont slot in the center of the shelf. 

Install new slot label on right side of shelf. The slots on right side are slots 0-7. 

MGXPEC DSP Daughterboards

The MGXPEC card has two 96-port (NTDW64xx) DSP daughterboards mounted in slot 1 and slot 2 on both motherboard (MB) and daughterboard (DB) cards.

The card slots assigned for DB-96 in DB slot 1 are 11, 12, 13.

The card slots assigned for DB-96 in DB slot 2 are 8, 9, 10.

MGXPEC Serial connections

On the back of IPE shelf, NTDW26ABE6 cables are to be connected between the rear SL1 and SL3 connectors, and RJ-45 couplers.

These connections provide TTY0 and TTY1 for each half of MGXPEC. From the back of shelf, the right side is shelf 0 (SL1) and the left side is shelf 1 (SL3).
