Setting Up and Testing the MAX Hardware
This chapter covers the following topics:
Planning the hardware installation
Before you begin installation of the MAX hardware, make sure that you have the items you
need and that you are aware of the requirements regarding installation of digital modems and
installation of MAX units in a rack.
What you need before you start
Before you install the MAX, make sure that you have the following items:
• A suitable location in which to install the MAX hardware. (If installing the hardware in a
rack, see “Guidelines for installing MAX units in a rack” on page 2-2.)
• One or more active line(s), with at least one line set for bidirectional calling.
(Bidirectional calling allows you to test the MAX hardware by having the MAX dial out
on one channel and answer on another channel.)
• One or more active BRI lines, if applicable.
• An Ethernet interface. Also, if the MAX connects to an Ethernet LAN, you need the
appropriate cables and connectors to set up an Ethernet interface.
• A locally connected host or workstation that can Telnet or Ping to the MAX.
• A VT100 terminal or a workstation with a communications program that supports VT100
emulation.
