3 Physical Description
This section provides a physical description of the device.
3.1 Hardware Components
The device includes the following components:
A 19-inch, 2U high rack-mount chassis (see Section 3.2 on page 15).
TP-6310 blades: regarded as a complete gateway/media server module, supporting all
necessary functions for voice, data, and fax streaming over IP networks (see Section
3.3 on page 23). The blade is supplied with a rear input/output (I/O) module referred to
as the Rear Transition Module (RTM). RTM-6310 provides the port connections to the
supported interfaces:
• Two Gigabit Ethernet
• PSTN Interfaces:
♦ Up to three T3 interfaces, offering scalability by allowing you to start with a
single T3 interface and to later add another one or two T3 interfaces as
capacity requirements grow
♦ 1+1 STM-1/OC-3
TP-8410 blades: regarded as a complete gateway module, supporting all necessary
functions for voice, data, and fax streaming over IP networks (see Section
3.4 on page
28). The RTM-8410 provides the port connections to the supported interfaces:
• Two Gigabit Ethernet
• Up to 63 E1 / 84 T1
Alarm, Status and Synchronization blade (SA/M3K): provides clock synchronization
(see Section
3.5 on page 33)
Cooling system (see Section 3.6 on page 35):
• Fan Tray module (FM/M3K)
• Air Filter (AF/3K) located within the Fan Tray module
System alarm LEDs and ACO button (see Section 3.7 on page 37)
Power system, available in one of the following power types:
• Alternating Current (see Section 3.8.1 on page 41):
♦ Two AC Power Supply modules (PS/AC/3K) for load sharing
♦ Two AC Power Entry modules (PEM/AC/3K)
• Direct Current (see Section 3.8.2 on page 42):
♦ Two DC Power Supply modules (PS/DC/3K) for load sharing
♦ Two DC Power Entry modules (PEM/DC/3K)
Notes:
• The device operates in either Simplex mode or High Availability (HA) mode. The
difference is that HA provides 1+1 redundancy for the voice functionality.
• The blades and modules are supplied pre-installed in the device's chassis. For
replacing these components, see Section 6 on page 75.
• For blade chassis slot assignment, see Section 3.2.2 on page 16.
