General Information

General Information

The site preparation checklist at the end of this chapter helps ensure that all site preparations are completed before the delivery and installation of a VCO/4K system.

Installation Planning

Installation planning includes:

Review "Installation Planning,"and complete all modifications to the installation site before the arrival of the VCO/4K. For additional information on installation planning, refer to "System Component Weights."

Cabling Preparations

Cabling preparation includes:

This guide does not describe how to construct and wire cables. Review the "Digital Interconnections" section before prewiring the installation site.

Regulatory Considerations

Refer to the "Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Information" section.

Peripheral Equipment

Every VCO/4K system requires connection to a video display terminal (VDT) and dot matrix printer for system administration purposes. A remote maintenance modem is also an option. Topics discussed include:

Host Communication Links

VCO systems communicate with a host computer system over Ethernet links. This is discussed in "Host Communication Cabling." For detailed information on using the optional Ethernet communications package for the VCO/4K, refer to the Cisco VCO/4K Ethernet Guide.

Site Preparation Checklist

If you request Cisco to perform the VCO/4K installation and system certification, you must complete the following checklist before Cisco personnel arrive:

    1. ____ Verify the space requirements, including access and passageways to the equipment room for the VCO/4K system and the associated peripheral equipment ("Installation Planning").

    2. ____ Complete all modifications to the installation site, including electrical service and HVAC modifications ("Installation Planning").

    3. ____ Construct, label, and properly route cables to the VCO/4K location ("Installation Planning").

    4. ____ Order telco facilities (subscriber loops, trunks, T-spans, and so forth); coordinate their installation, and test all facilities following installation (Cisco VCO/4K Hardware Planning Guide).

    5. ____ Install the DC Power Plant (if required) and terminate the feeder circuits near the VCO/4K ("Installation Planning").

    6. ____ Install the earth ground so you can terminate it at the power entry module on the VCO/4K ("Installation Planning" ).

    7. ____ Connect the EIA/TIA-232 and parallel cables from the VCO/4K to the peripheral equipment (console, printer, modem, and switches). (See "Peripheral Equipment.")

    8. ____ Install the business line for the remote maintenance modem. Terminate the line near the installation location for the modem (optional). (See "Peripheral Equipment.")

    9. ____ Connect the Ethernet transceiver and cables for use as the host communication links between the host computer and the VCO/4K (Ethernet Communications Package). (See "Host Communication Cabling.")

    10. ____ Install and test the host computer system.

    11. ____ Install an AC branch circuit, either 120V, 50/60 Hz, 3A or 240V, 50/60 Hz, 15A, (if required) near the VCO/4K location for connection to the power supply ("Installation Planning").

    12. ____ Install the 120V, 50/60 Hz, 20A AC branch circuit (if required) to power the peripheral equipment (may require more than one outlet). (See "Peripheral Equipment.")
