6. Module Installation and Wiring
6.1 Module Handling and General Installation
The following paragraphs provide general and common installation, and wiring practices and
procedures for all Modules. Procedures such as LAN wiring are common for all Module LAN ports
and are discussed here. Prior to installation of any Module, it is recommended the installer be
thoroughly familiar with the information in this section.
CAUTION
Modules must be installed in a Wall Mount Holder, Bookshelf Holder or the Main Cabinet for
proper ventilation. Do not stack Modules or limit airflow as this may cause over-heating, leading
to pre-mature failure and/or faulty operation of the equipment.
6.1.1 Module Installation Sequence
A SEQUENCE NUMBER is assigned to all gateway Modules based on the registration order with
the system, refer to the iPECS Admin & Programming Manual for further details. This
SEQUENCE NUMBER determines the logical CO Line and Station numbers assigned in the
system database.
The system does not differentiate between the types of PSTN Module during initialization. Thus,
an LGCM4 installed first
is assigned SEQUENCE NUMBER 01 with CO Line ports 1~4 and a
VOIM8 installed second
is assigned CO Line ports 5~12.
Although the SEQUENCE NUMBER in the database can be changed, connecting the gateway
Modules to the iPECS in the desired sequence based on type of Module is recommended. The
Module SEQUENCE NUMBER can be easily established at installation by controlling the order of
connection of the Module’s LAN port to the system (LAN switch connected to the UCP’s LAN 1
port).
Station numbers are also assigned consecutively based on the order the LIP Phone or station
gateway registers with the system. Since the first phone installed is assigned as the Admin
Station (station number 100), it is recommended an LIP Phone be connected to the system prior
to installing any SLT gateway Module.
