Chapter 9: Meridian Link/CCR interface cabling 255

Meridian Link Release 5C/CCR Release 3C Installation and Upgrade Guide

Meridian Mail Modular Option EC provides data port connections via a
utility card. The interface is provided by an NT6P0109 5-port RS-232 or an
NT6P0110 4-port RS-232 break-out cable. Each port on these cables has a
null modem arrangement, therefore a straight-through cable will be needed
to provide a null arrangement interface required by Meridian Link.

Adding a connection to Meridian Mail
The following procedure provides a brief description on how to add voice
processing capability to an installed Application Module. Nortel provides
kits to enable you to add this capability, and a detailed description will be
provided in these kits.

1

Power down the Application Module.

2

Determine the type of MVME712 transition card installed in your
Application Module. Refer to the description of the transition cards
earlier in this guide. Briefly, the MVME712M card has four 25-pin
connectors, while the MVME712A and AM cards have 9-pin
connectors. The MVME712AM card also has an RJ11 connector.

3

Determine the type of I/O panel installed in your Application Module.
Refer to Figures 27, 28, and 29 for illustrations of the types of I/O
panel.

4

Using Table 91, determine which cable you will use for cables 1 and
2. For example, if your Application Module has an MVME712AM
card and an I/O subpanel, use an NT7D61DA cable as cable 1 and
an NTND82AA cable as cable 2.

5

Connect cable 1 between serial port SP4 of the MVME712 transition
card and the appropriate connector of the I/O panel (refer to Figure
75 and Table 91). For example, if your Application Module has an
MVME712AM card and an I/O subpanel, connect an NT7D61DA
cable between SP4 and port J1 of the I/O subpanel.

6

Connect cable 2 between the connector on the I/O panel and the
NT1R03 Meridian Mail cable (the cable that connects to Meridian
Mail). For example, if your Application Module has an MVME712AM
card and an I/O subpanel, you would connect an NTND82AA cable
between port J1 of the I/O subpanel and the NT1R03 cable.
