Opt. 11C 4.0 to 7.5 CS1000E(Cabinet) Concerns.

[dogg1]

I'm in the begining stages of reading the upgrade procedures. We are going from a SSC Card to a CPMGS card with 2 MGC Cards, 1 in each expansion cabinet. My concern is with the placement of the DB DSP's on the MGC's and TN Mapping. The other concern is that the current customer uses OTM to build phones and would like to continue using a similar program, is there another piece of equipemtn that we have to install, or does UCM perform this service? Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks

The UCM is suppose to be the OTM replacement.

So there is an area in UCM where you can build phones without using the CLI in the PBX?

The CPMGS has 128 DSP's, are you sure you still need the MGC cards? Chassis or cab?

Spanton,

Do you use UCM for bulding, moving and Deleting phones? Is it user friendly?

Thanks

I think the DSPs on the CPMGS card are hard mounted, unlike the MGC cards where there are two daughterboard mounting "slots" on the card. Used to be that you had to get a 96 DSP and and a 32 DSP daughtercard to get 128; now you get a 128 DSP daughtercard in the high density card position.

The CPMG is hard mounted but I have two additional MGC cards and 3 db's. The daughterboards are 96, 128, and 32. Can I combine the 32 and 96 and have it sit in card slot 0 in the expansion cabinet? This is a wall mount configuration too.

Dogg1 the UCM includes browser gui for managing phones reminds me of the TM web interface.
Seems to work fine for our users.

Yes, combine the 32 and 96 on one MGC to make up your 128 dsp's. There is a high density and low density slot. Make sure you put the 96 or the 128 in the high density slot and the 32 in the low density slot. They are marked on the MGC card which is which.

 

[KCFLHRC]

Your TN's for the high density slot are card slots 11,12, 13 and 14. The low density slot is card 0.

High density TN would like this 0 0 11 0

Low density TN would look like this 0 0 0 1, you cant use 0 0 0 0, it's not valid. So you basically lose 1 dsp if you use loop 0 shelf 0

And,the phones are now built within Element Manager not UCM. It's not bad. It looks like TM4.0 with a new picture feature. It will bring up a photo of the phone you are building and when you click on each button it takes you to the field to program the phone.

I'm a CLI guy, but it wasn't bad.

OK, so in my main cabinet i will have the CPMG with an onboard 128 Dsp which will be in slot 0. Cabinet 1 will have another 128 DSP's, installed on MGC slot 2. This will allow me to install the MGC card in slot 0 of cabinet 1. In cabinet 2 I will need to install the 32 DSP DB in slot 1 of the MGC and the 96 DSP DB in slot 2 of the MGC. With this configuration I will be able to install the MGC in card slot 0 of cabinet 2? Is that correct?


Thanks for all the input, its very much appreciated.

You are absolutely correct.
