The Gateway Controller resides in slot 0 of a Media Gateway. The Gateway Controller can be a Media Gateway Controller (MGC) card, Common Processor Media Gateway (CP MG) card, or Media Gateway Extended Peripheral Equipment Controller (MG XPEC) card.
Note: The MG XPEC card can only be installed in a Large System UEM. For more information about MG XPEC card installation, see “Media Gateway Extended Peripheral Equipment Controller (MG XPEC)” on page 101.
Perform the following procedure to install an MGC card into a Media Gateway.
Procedure 24
Installing the MGC card
1 Insert the MGC into Slot 0 of the Media Gateway.
2 Connect the 3-port SDI cable (NTBK48AA) to the SDI0 port on the Chassis.
Note: The 3-port SDI cable (NTBK48AA) is not required for an MGC installation in an MG 1010 chassis. The MG 1010 MGU card provides the serial connection. Use an RJ45 to 9 pin RS232 serial port cable when cabling a MG 1010. For more information, see “Serial port connectivity” on page 72.
For the MG 1000E, connect the 3-port SDI cable (NTBK48AA) to the SDI0 port on the Media Gateway. Connect the opposite end of the cable to a
maintenance terminal.
For the MG 1010, connect a shielded CAT5 or better Ethernet cable to the NTC325AAE6 serial cable kit. Connect this cable to the MGU faceplate port labelled TTY0 in the Media Gateway. Connect the opposite end of the cable to a maintenance terminal.
Avaya recommends you use direct connections from the faceplate jacks of the Gateway Controller to the Layer 2 switch. Figure 48 on page 160 illustrates a Media Gateway chassis with a MGC connected directly to a Layer 2 switch. Figure 49 on page 160 illustrates a Media Gateway cabinet with MGC connected directly to the Layer 2 switch.
3 Power on the Media Gateway. • MGC display will read BOOT.
• Power on self-test will begin. MGC display will read POST.
• If self-test completes successfully, MGC display changes to PASS.
otherwise, an error code Exxx is displayed.
• The MGC begins loading application software. Display changes to
LOAD.

Procedure 25
Installing the CP MG card
1 Ensure that the security dongle is inserted on the CP MG card.
2 Insert and slide the CP MG card into Slot 0 of a Media Gateway.
3 Lock the card in place with the faceplate latches.
4 Connect the serial cable:
Note: The NTC325AAE6 serial port adapter kit is required.
• Connect a CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable to the TTY1 port on the CP MG faceplate.
• Connect a NTC326AAE6 serial port adapter (9 pin or 25 pin) to the other end of the CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable.
• Connect the CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable with adapter to a serial port on a maintenance terminal. If you require a longer cable to reach your maintenance terminal, you can attach a standard serial port cable to the adapter for extended cable length.
5 Configure the maintenance terminal for VT-100 emulation, 9600 bps, 8-N-1.
The Gateway Controller portion of the CP MG card is ready to configure. The CP MG card functions as a Server and a Gateway Controller. Perform the following steps to connect the Server portion of the CP MG card to the CS 1000E network.
6 Connect the ELAN cable:
• Connect one end of a shielded CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable to the 1E (ELAN) port on the CP MG faceplate.
• Connect the other end of the cable to the ELAN subnet of the CS 1000E network.
7 Connect the TLAN cable:
• Connect one end of a shielded CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable to the 2T (TLAN) port on the CP MG faceplate.
• Connect the other end of the cable to the TLAN subnet of the CS 1000E network.
In a MG 1000E or a MG 1010 with a Server card in slots 1-10, the SDI port of the CP PM or CP DC card routes through the backplane to the 50-pin Amphinol connector on the back of the Media Gateway. An NTAK19EC cable is required to adapt the 50-pin Amphinol connector to two 25-pin DB connectors. Use Port 0 for maintenance access, and Port 1 for an external modem connection.
In a MG 1010, the MGU provides TTY0 and TTY1 serial ports for the Server card in slot 22 and slot 23. Connect a shielded CAT5 or better Ethernet cable to a NTC325AAE6 serial port adapter. Attach this cable to the MGU port labelled TTY0 for CP1 or CP2. CP1 is for slot 22, CP2 is for slot 23.
Avaya recommends you use direct connections from the faceplate jacks of the Server cards to the Layer 2 ethernet switches. Figure 50 on page 162
illustrates a Media Gateway chassis with a CP PM Call Processor connected directly to a Layer 2 switch. Figure 51 on page 162 illustrates a Media Gateway chassis with a CP PM Signaling Server connected directly to a Layer 2 switch.
