After completing the installation, review the information in "Preparing the Cisco CallManager and Octel Systems."

Preparing for Installation

Before installing the DPA 7630/7610, review these sections:

Network Requirements

For the Cisco DPA 7630/7610 to successfully operate in your network, your network must meet the following requirements:

Safety


Warning Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.


Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.


Warning Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.


Warning This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area is where access can only be gained by service personnel through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.


Warning Unplug the power cord before you work on a system that does not have an on/off switch.


Warning The plug-socket combination must be accessible at all times because it serves as the main disconnecting device.


Warning This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15A U.S. (240 VAC, 10A international) is used on the phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors).


Warning Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.


Warning The safety cover is an integral part of the product. Do not operate the unit without the safety cover installed. Operating the unit without the cover in place will invalidate the safety approvals and pose a risk of fire and electrical hazards.


Warning Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals.


Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.


Warning To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.


Warning The device is designed to work with TN power systems.

Connecting to the Telco Connectors

Because of the wiring differences between the DPA 7630 and the DPA 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:

Connecting to the Definity and Octel Systems on a Cisco DPA 7630

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 3-6).


Figure 3-6: Connecting to the Telco Connectors on the DPA 7630


The pinouts on the telco connectors match those on a Definity four-wire line card (see Figure 3-7 for details) with the following characteristics:


Figure 3-7: DPA 7630 Telco Connector Pinouts


Connecting the DPA 7630 to Definity

Because the wiring matches the Definity PBX, you can easily connect the DPA 7630 to the Definity PBX via a punch panel. Figure 3-8 illustrates in detail how to connect the wires from the DPA 7630 to the Definity PBX system. Starting with port 1, you skip a port, cross the next two ports, skip a port, cross the next two ports, and so on. For example:


Figure 3-8: DPA 7630 Wiring to the Definity PBX System


Connecting the DPA 7630 to Octel

The wiring to the Octel system is more complicated because there are no unused pairs (see Figure 3-9 for details.)


Figure 3-9: DPA 7630 Wiring to Octel 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. There are 24 ports, but if you have fewer than 24 Octel ports, you can leave the remaining ports empty.

Hybrid Integration Mode

If you want to connect Cisco CallManager, Octel voice messaging system, and Definity PBX system, 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.

Connecting to the Meridian 1 and Octel Systems on a Cisco DPA 7610

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 3-10).


Figure 3-10: Connecting to the Telco Connectors on the DPA 7610


The pinouts on the telco connectors match those on a Meridian 1 two-wire line card (see Figure 3-11 for details) with each port consisting of 1 telco pair.


Figure 3-11: DPA 7610 Telco Connector Pinouts


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 3-12 for an example of wiring to an Octel 250/350 system.


Figure 3-12: DPA 7610 Wiring to Octel 250 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. There are 24 ports, but if you have fewer than 24 Octel ports, you can leave the remaining ports empty.

Hybrid Integration Mode

If you want to connect Cisco CallManager, Octel voice messaging system and Meridian 1 PBX system, 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.

Verifying Installation

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....passed
Testing EEPROM...passed
Testing Ethernet..passed

    3. Pauses for 10 seconds, allowing you to access the boot loader by pressing the Esc key on the console terminal. The boot loader allows you to do the following:

    4. Loads the main software image and displays the main menu (see Figure 3-13).


Figure 3-13: DPA 7630/7610 Main Menu


If the main software menu displays successfully, you can begin configuring the device as described in "Configuring Octel/Definity Integration Settings". If the menu does not display properly, verify your connections and follow suggestions in "Troubleshooting the DPA 7630/7610."
