2.1.4  Cabling the MP-11x 
This section describes MP-11x cabling. 
¾  To cable the MP-11x, take these steps: 
1.  Connect MP-11x to the Ethernet network (refer to 'Connecting MP-11x to the Network' 
on page 14).
 
2.  Connect MP-11x to FXS/FXO devices (refer to 'Connecting MP-11x to FXS /FXO 
Devices' on page 14). 
3.  C
able the MP-11x/FXS Lifeline (refer to 'Cabling the MP-11x/FXS Lifeline' on page 
15).
 
4.  Connect MP-11x RS-232 port to a PC (refer to 'Connecting MP-11x RS-232 Port to a 
PC' on page 16).
 
5.  Connect MP-11x to the power supply (refer to 'Connecting MP-11x to Power' on page 
17).
 
Once you have completed the above hardware installation steps and after powering-up the 
MP-11x, the Ready and Power LEDs on the front panel light up green (after a self-testing 
period of about two minutes). Any malfunction in the startup procedure changes the Fail 
LED to red and the Ready LED is turned off (for details on the MP-11x  LEDs, refer to 
'Monitoring Front-Panel LEDs' on page 49). O
nce you have cabled the device, you can 
begin configuring the device (refer to 'Configuring the Device' on page 29).
 
 
2.1.4.1  Connecting MP-11x to the Network 
Follow the procedure below for connecting MP-11x directly to the Ethernet network. 
¾  To connect MP-11x directly to the Ethernet network, take this step: 
  Using a crossover Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors on either end, connect the 
MP-11x Ethernet port (labeled Ethernet), directly to the network. For RJ-45 connector 
pinouts, refer to the figure below: 
Figure  2-6: RJ-45 Connector Pinouts 
 
 
 
Note:  When assigning an IP address to MP-11x using HTTP (refer to 'Assigning an 
IP Address Using HTTP' on page 30), you may be required to disconnect the 
Ethernet cable and re-cable it differently.
