Installing SPARK200
Before You Start
Before you begin the installation of the SPARK200, make sure that the required wiring has been done and you
have the following items ready:
• PRASAR UCS Application License.
• Appropriate cables and connectors to set up and test the WAN interface of the system and the LAN
connection.
• A standalone PC or a PC connected in LAN.
• A SIP Account to test VoIP connectivity.
• One or more IP Phones for testing.
Well begun is half done; plan your hardware installation well.
Selecting the Installation Site for the system
The system maybe be rack mounted or mounted on a table. Refer to the mechanical dimensions of the model you
have, when selecting the site for installation, and deciding whether to mount the system on a table top or on a rack.
Select an appropriate site to install the system taking into consideration the following recommendations and
precautions:
• The site of installation should be well-ventilated, moisture and dust free, and not exposed to direct sunlight,
heat, excessive cold or humidity.
• The site should be equidistant from all the extensions to simplify cabling network and reduce cabling costs.
• The system should be installed at a height of at least 3.5 feet from the ground. Installation at this height
makes preventive or corrective maintenance tasks easy.
• The system should be installed away from any source of electromagnetic noise such as any radio
equipment, heavy transformers, faulty electric chokes of tube-lights, any device having faulty coil, etc.
