After the brackets are secured to the chassis, you can rack-mount it (Figure 2-3).
Step 2 Secure the chassis by inserting the mounting screws through the holes in the L brackets and into the threaded holes in the mounting posts.
Before setting the DPA 7630/7610 on a desktop, shelf, or other flat, secure surface, adhere the rubber feet included with the DPA 7630/7610. To attach them to the chassis, peel the rubber feet from the adhesive strip and place them adhesive-side down onto the round, recessed areas on the bottom of the chassis. Place the DPA 7630/7610 right-side up on a flat, smooth, secure surface.
You must connect the DPA 7630/7610 to the other IP telephony systems in the network, including Cisco CallManager, Octel, and Definity or Meridian 1 systems.
Review these sections before connecting the DPA 7630/7610:
Use the Ethernet port to connect the DPA 7630/7610 to the IP network to access Cisco CallManager (see Figure 2-4). The DPA 7630/7610 does not support full-duplex Ethernet operation. Use auto-negotiation or set the Ethernet port to operate in half-duplex mode.

Parity | No |
Stop bits | 1 |
Because of the wiring differences between the DPA 7630 and 7610, you connect to the Octel and PBX systems slightly differently. Refer to the instructions for the specific model you are using in one of the following sections:
Use the three telco connectors to connect the DPA 7630 to the Octel and Definity systems. Each telco connector connects to eight ports on the DPA 7630 (see Figure 2-6).
The pinouts on the telco connectors match those on a Definity four-wire line card (see Figure 2-7 for details) with the following characteristics:
Because the wiring matches the Definity PBX, you can easily connect the DPA 7630 to the Definity PBX via a punch panel. However, the wiring to the Octel system is more complicated because there are no unused pairs (see Figure 2-8 for details.)
The telco connectors must connect to the patch panel or punchdown block in specific ways depending on the configuration you are using.
Simple Integration Mode
In the simple integration mode, you are integrating Cisco CallManager and Octel voice messaging systems. In this scenario, you must connect all 24 ports in Lines A, B, and C from the DPA 7630 to the Octel system.
Hybrid Integration Mode
If you want to connect Cisco CallManager, Octel voice messaging, and Definity PBX systems, you must use the hybrid integration mode. To use this configuration, all MWI lines for the Definity and Cisco CallManager phones must pass through the DPA 7630, following the guidelines described in the "Implementing the Hybrid Integration" section.
Use the single telco connector to connect the DPA 7610 to the Octel and Meridian 1 systems. The telco connector connects to 24 ports on the DPA 7610 (see Figure 2-9).
The pinouts on the telco connectors match those on a Meridian 1 two-wire line card (see Figure 2-10 for details) with each port consisting of 1 telco pairs.
Because the wiring matches the Meridian 1 PBX, you can easily connect the DPA 7610 to the Meridian 1 PBX via a punch panel. However, the wiring to the Octel system is more complicated and varies depending on the type of Octel system you are using. For an Octel 200/300 system, the wiring is identical to the DPA 7610 and Meridian 1 system. See Figure 2-11 for an example of wiring to an Octel 250/350 system.
The telco connectors must connect to the patch panel or punchdown block in specific ways depending on the configuration you are using.
Simple Integration Mode
In the simple integration mode, you are integrating Cisco CallManager and Octel voice messaging systems. In this scenario, you must connect all 24 ports in Lines A, B, and C from the DPA 7610 to the Octel system.
Hybrid Integration Mode
If you want to connect Cisco CallManager, Octel voice messaging, and Meridian 1 PBX systems, you must use the hybrid integration mode. To use this configuration, all MWI lines for the Cisco CallManager and Meridian 1 phones must pass through the DPA 7610, following the guidelines described in the "Implementing the Hybrid Integration" section.
After you complete installation of the DPA 7630/7610 and have connected power to it, connect a console terminal to observe its initial startup procedure. You can only observe these initial startup messages when connected to the console port. Initially, the device uses DHCP by default, but you can reconfigure this after startup.
The startup process proceeds as follows:
1. Loads boot loader software image and starts up the DPA 7630/7610.
2. Performs self tests on the hardware, indicating whether the component passed; for example:
Testing RAM......passed
Testing FLASH....passed3. Pauses for 10 seconds, allowing you to perform the following tasks:
4. Loads the main software image and displays the main menu (see Figure 2-12):
