About This Guide

This chapter describes the objectives, audience, organization, and conventions of the Cisco Media Gateway Controller Hardware Installation Guide and contains the following sections:

Document Overview

The Cisco Media Gateway Controller Hardware Installation Guide contains instructions for installing the Cisco MGC hardware components in a standard telco rack, cabling the components together, and applying power.

This guide uses the terms signaling controller and virtual switch controller to refer to features that are unique to the Cisco SC2200 and Cisco VSC2700. The term media gateway controller (MGC) identifies features that apply to both signaling controllers and virtual switch controllers.


Note Some product labels and packaging might use the term telephony controller. Cisco is updating product terminology to keep pace with changes in the industry. As part of this effort, Cisco is discontinuing the term telephony controller and is using media gateway controller in its place. Any references to the telephony controller apply to the media gateway controller.

The following product numbers are discussed in this guide:
