Installing the 3300 CITELlink Gateway
WARNINGS:
• Before attempting installation, read the safety instructions provided in the 3300 CI-
TELlink Gateway Start Here Guide. This guide is shipped with the gateway.
• Failure to follow all instructions may result in improper equipment operation and/or
risk of electrical shock.
Caution! After you plug in the unit, Do NOT unplug or otherwise interrupt the 3300
CITELlink Gateway unit until it has finished the boot up procedure. A power interruption
may result in the gateway failing to boot properly.
Important! Read all sections of this chapter before installing. The steps must be followed in
the order presented.
This chapter describes how to install the 3300 CITELlink Gateway unit and register supported
Meridian 1 phones.
Before you install the gateway unit, ensure the proposed location
• Is within 1.4 meters (5 feet) of an AC power supply (preferably UPS-protected)
• Can access the punchdown block used by up to 24 supported Meridian 1 phones. Refer
to “Supported Meridian 1 Sets” on page 2 for supported models.
The following steps are required to set up Meridian 1 phones on the 3300 ICP:
1. Connect the gateway to the voice LAN and to the Meridian 1 phones
2. Power up the gateway
3. Register the phones with the 3300 ICP
4. Verify phone operation and system programming
Connect the Gateway
1. Place the unit on a desk, or install it in a 19-inch rack using the supplied mounting brackets.
The mounting brackets fasten to the sides of the rack.
2. Connect a CAT 5 straight-through cable from the MDI-II ethernet port on the gateway to
an ethernet port on a layer 2 switch (see FIGURE 2).
Note: The port on the Layer 2 switch should be configured as an “access” port (for the
voice LAN only) and not a “trunk” port. (Recommended)
3. Connect the 21-pair extension line from the male Amphenol-type connector on the gateway
front panel to a punchdown block near the gateway. Preserve the existing polarity as
Meridian 1 phone wiring is polarity sensitive.
Refer to “Appendix D: Phone Wiring Chart for Meridian 1 Phones” on page 25 for wiring
details.
