Position the Media Gateway
Each media gateway is normally positioned adjacent to the control hardware in the rack or
another media gateway.
NOTE:
Typically, the center stage switch is collocated with a port network (PN). It is not required
to be located in port network 1.
1 If the S8700 Multi-Connect configuration is supplied with cable ductwork, space the
media gateways on 32 in. (81.3 cm) centers +-1/8 in. (0.3 cm). They must be level and
must be square with respect to each other.
2 If the S8700 Multi-Connect configuration is supplied with cable slack managers, place
the media gateways far enough from the connection field to lay down the 32 in. (81.3
cm) slack managers and to provide a little extra room for the cables to access the cable
slack managers.
3 If earthquake protection is required, ‘‘Install Earthquake Protection for Media Gateway’’
on page 70.
4 If earthquake protection is not required, level the media gateways and adjust and lock the
media gateway stabilizing bolts to keep it from moving.
5 At the bottom of the media gateway, install the hole plugs provided in the holes
previously occupied by the 4 carriage bolts.
