1. Rack-Mounting or Stacking System Components
2. Preparing the Electrical Panel and Grounding the Chassis
4. Connecting Power to and Turning on the System
5. Running the Initial Configuration Program
The Cisco ICS 7750 can contain different combinations of cards and power supply modules. Figure 2 illustrates one possible system configuration, and Table 2 describes the components in this configuration. The procedures described in this document are based on the configuration shown in Figure 2.
| Label | Card Name | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | Multiservice route processor (MRP) | A voice-and-data-capable router that can carry voice traffic over an IP network and can link small-to-medium-size remote Ethernet LANs to central offices over WAN links. The MRP has two slots that support WAN interface cards (WICs), voice WAN interface cards (VWICs), and voice interface cards (VICs), two packet voice data module (PVDM) slots for adding digital signal processors (DSPs), and a dual inline memory module (DIMM) slot for upgrading MRP memory.
| ||
| B | MRP | (Same as card A.) | ||
| C | System processing engine (SPE) | A single-board computer that runs system software applications such as Cisco ICS 7700 System Manager and Cisco CallManager. | ||
| D | SPE | (Same as Card C.) | ||
| E | System switch processor (SSP) | An Ethernet switch that passes data between all system cards and to any other Ethernet switches connected to the system. | ||
| F | System alarm processor (SAP) | A module that monitors the status of the chassis, power supply modules, and fans, feeding real-time data to the system processing engines. You can use the SAP console port to communicate with other system cards through a modem or terminal connection. | ||
| G | Power supply module | A power supply module (240W) that powers the chassis. The empty slot shown in Figure 2 (on the right side of the chassis) supports an optional, redundant power supply module. | ||
| H | T1 WIC | A WAN interface T1 card that connects the system to the WAN-link service provider. Refer to the Cisco WAN Interface Card Hardware Installation Guide for details about the Cisco WICs, VWICs, and VICs described in this document. | ||
| I | T1 VIC or T1 VWIC | A T1 VIC that connects the system to either a public switched telephone network (PSTN) or to a private branch exchange (PBX). | ||
| J | 2-port Foreign Exchange Office (FXO) card | A VIC that connects the system to a PSTN, to a PBX, or to both. This card connects the system to either the same or a different PSTN or PBX that the T1 VIC connects to. | ||
| K | 2-port Foreign Exchange Station (FXS) | A card that connects analog telephone devices, such as telephones or fax machines, to the system. |
Many combinations of SPE and MRP cards can be installed in chassis slots 1 through 6. Figure 2 shows only one configuration example. The SSP must be installed in slot 7, and the SAP must be installed in slot 8.
For instructions on rack-mounting or stacking Cisco ICS 7750 system components, refer to the "Installing the Cisco ICS 7750" chapter in the Cisco ICS 7750 Hardware Installation Guide.
Before installing the system, you should prepare the electrical system at the installation site and properly ground the system according to the instructions in the "Installing the Cisco ICS 7750" chapter in the Cisco ICS 7750 Hardware Installation Guide.
|
Warning This equipment needs to be grounded. Use a green and yellow 14 AWG ground wire to connect the host to earth ground during normal use. |
Follow these steps, and refer to Figure 2 and to Table 2 to make cable connections for the hardware configuration example.
 |
Caution Do not remove a panel that covers an empty chassis slot until you are ready to install a card in the slot. After removing a panel to install a card, save the panel in case you need to use it later to cover an empty slot. |
|
Note To easily manage cables that are connected to the system, install cards with the most connected cables as far left in the chassis as possible. For example, an MRP card with two 2-port WICs installed might be installed in Slot 1, which prevents the cables connected to the card from obscuring the front panels of other cards. |
|
Caution To enable the initial configuration program to run correctly, the Cisco ICS 7750 must not be connected to the Ethernet network. You will connect the system to the Ethernet network after running the initial configuration program. |
a. Connect the T1 WIC (labeled H in Figure 2) to the wall jack that provides WAN data services to your Cisco ICS 7750.
b. Connect the T1 VIC/T1 VWIC (labeled I in Figure 2) to the PSTN or to a PBX.
c. Connect the FXO card (labeled J in Figure 2) to the PSTN, to a PBX, or to a combination of them. The ports are interchangeable and can be connected in any order. You can connect this card to the same PBX that you connected to in Step 1, part b.
d. Connect up to two analog devices (such as a telephone or fax machine) to the FXS card (labeled K in Figure 2). The ports are interchangeable and can be connected in any order.
|
Note For more information on connecting WICs, VWICs, and VICs, refer to the Cisco WAN Interface Card Hardware Installation Guide. |
Step 2 (Optional) Connect the console port on the SAP card (labeled F in Figure 2) to enable command-line interface (CLI) configuration of the Cisco ICS 7750. There are two ways to make this connection:
Step 3 (Optional) Use an RS-232 cable to connect the COM2 port on the SAP card (labeled F in Figure 2) to a legacy voice mail system. The voice mail system must support the Simplified Message Desk Interface (SMDI) to communicate with the Cisco ICS 7750.
|
Note For more information on connecting the Cisco ICS 7750 to a voice mail system, contact your Cisco sales representative. |
Figure 3 illustrates the power connections for the hardware configuration example described in this document. For instructions on connecting power cables for additional hardware configurations, refer to the "Installing the Cisco ICS 7750" chapter in the Cisco ICS 7750 Hardware Installation Guide.
Follow these steps to make power connections:
Step 2 Connect the RPS connector on each of the Catalyst switches (labeled 2 and 3 in Figure 3) to any of the DC outlet connectors on the RPS.
Step 3 Connect the AC power connectors on each of the Catalyst switches (labeled 4 and 5 in Figure 3) to any AC power connector on the UPS.
Step 4 Connect the AC power connector on the RPS (labeled 6 in Figure 3) to an AC power connector on the UPS.
|
Note Optionally, you can connect the RPS to a dedicated wall outlet instead of to the UPS; however, this connection does not provide backup power in case of power problems at your site. |
Step 5 Plug the UPS into a power outlet (labeled 7 in Figure 3) at your site.
Follow these steps to turn on power to the system.
Step 2 For one or both power supply modules installed in your system, press the power supply switch to on ( | ).
When you turn on the system for the first time, you will run the Cisco ICS 7700 System Manager (also referred to as System Manager) initial configuration program, a web-browser-based program that prompts you to enter IP and other network information. The Cisco ICS 7750 uses this information to send data and voice information over the local network, over the WAN, and to the PSTN. When the initial configuration program is complete, you can use the System Manager software to configure and manage the system.
|
Caution To enable the initial configuration program to run correctly, the Cisco ICS 7750 must not be connected to the Ethernet network. You will connect the 10/100 ports on the SSP to the 10/100 ports on the external Catalyst 3524-PWR XL switches after running the initial configuration program. |
|
Caution We strongly recommend that you use the System Manager for configuration of the Cisco ICS 7750 whenever possible. Although some configuration tasks, such as setting the system date and time, do require use of the CLI, using the CLI for some tasks can cause irreversible problems. In particular, you should not use the CLI to upgrade software images, change or set passwords, assign or remove IP addresses, specify Domain Name System (DNS) information, configure Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) information, or to disable Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP). |
Follow these steps before you run the initial configuration program:
1. Collect required information that the initial configuration program will prompt you to enter.
2. Verify your PC requirements.
3. Configure your web browser for System Manager.
4. Connect your PC to the SSP card. Use a straight-through Ethernet cable to connect the PC Ethernet network interface card (NIC) to either one of the 10/100 Ethernet ports (labeled 1x and 2x) on the SSP card.
