I am installing a new 600r, the documentation that shipped with the server does not mention the newer Mgate card part number NTRB18DAE5, it mentions the older NTRB18CA. Does the Mgate still need the DS30X cable ( NTRH2012 ) or does it just use the ethernet jack on the faceplate? It did not ship with a cable.

Overview of Product Benefits/Values
The newer versions of the MPB96 board and MGate card, with adaptation of standard
customer-provided Category 5E (CAT-5E) cabling, provide the following enhanced customer
and channel partner values:
• Extended distances between CallPilot and CS 1000/M1 (600m versus 60m)
o The original DS30x cable (NTRH2014E6) that connected the MPB96 board to
the MGate card was limited to 60 ft (20m). Replaced by standard CAT-5E
cabling, this extends distances up to 1,968 ft (600m).
• Faster and simpler, installation and maintenance
o Standard CAT-5E cable allows cabling to be run to exact length required,
reducing equipment room cable clutter.
o Independent links enable focused, less obtrusive maintenance be performed.
o Diagnostic LEDs improve supportability.
• Reduced cable costs and improved availability
o CAT-5E cabling is less expensive than the Nortel proprietary cable.
o CAT-5E cabling is readily available from electronics and computer retailers.
• Independent clocking for improved channel robustness
o With the new CAT-5E MPB96/MGate versions, each MGate card provides an
independent clock resource, removing the dependence on one MGate for
CallPilot’s clocking. In the event of a link failure, no impact to other links (and
their traffic handling capacities) will result.
o CAT-5E MGate cards, with their independent clocking, are not required to be
within the same equipment shelf in the PBX.
? CS 1000E requires supplemental DECT clocking cable be equipped.
• Improved power/ground resiliency
o The new Cat-5E MPB96/MGate solution enhances CallPilot’s resilience to
power/ground fluctuations and resulting system impact caused by power
surges often seen with severe weather (lightning strikes).

I hope not. It is not legal to tie to conduit. Take the time to put anchors in the wall and tie to them.
