Setting Up the Bridge Server
Setting Up the Hardware
In this chapter, you do the following tasks in the order listed:
1. 
Verify analog connectivity for the Bridge server. See the "Verifying Analog Connectivity for the Bridge Server" section.
2. Install voice-fax cards. See the "Installing the Voice-Fax Card(s)" section.
3. Set up the Cisco Unity Bridge server. See the "Setting Up the Bridge Server" section.
When you are finished with this chapter, return to "Overview of Mandatory Tasks for Installing the Cisco Unity Bridge" to continue installing the Bridge correctly.
Note The tasks in the overview list reference detailed instructions in the Cisco Unity Bridge Installation Guide and in other Bridge documentation. Follow the documentation for a successful installation.
Verifying Analog Connectivity for the Bridge Server
Do the following procedure to confirm that the Bridge server will have appropriate analog connectivity.
To Verify Analog Connectivity for the Bridge Server
Step 1 Plug an analog phone into one of the phone lines that will be used for the Bridge server.
Step 2 Lift the receiver, and confirm that you hear a dial tone.
Step 3 Dial the phone number of an Octel server on the network, and confirm that you hear the system answer.
Note that after the Bridge server is set up and configured for networking, you can install the Bridge Analog Network and Node Analyzer (BANANA) and use it to place test calls to the Octel servers. For more information, refer to the Cisco Unity Bridge Networking Guide, Release 3.0. The guide is available at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/c_unity/bridge30/bnet/ex/index.htm.
Installing the Voice-Fax Card(s)
Note that voice-fax cards must be installed in the same computer or in the same expansion chassis. If all the voice-fax cards do not fit in the Bridge computer, then you must install all of them in an expansion chassis.
For information on the Brooktrout TR114+P4L and TR114+uP4L cards, see the "Brooktrout Technology TR114+P4L and TR114+uP4L PCI Voice-Fax Cards" appendix.
Warning This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area can be accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security. Statement 1017
Warning Read the installation instructions before connecting the system to the power source. Statement 1004
Warning Before working on a system that has an on/off switch, turn OFF the power and unplug the power cord. Statement 1
Warning This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 1024
Warning There is the danger of explosion if the battery is replaced incorrectly. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions. Statement 1015
Warning To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
· This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in
the rack.
· When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the
bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
· If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before
mounting or servicing the unit in the rack. Statement 1006
Warning Before opening the chassis, disconnect the telephone-network cables to avoid contact with telephone-network voltages. Statement 2
Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity. Statement 1001
Warning To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord. Statement 1023
Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 1030
Warning This equipment is to be installed and maintained by service personnel only as defined by AS/NZS 3260 Clause 1.2.14.3 Service Personnel. Statement 88
Warning The safety cover is an integral part of the product. Do not operate the unit without the safety cover installed. Operating the unit without the cover in place will invalidate the safety approvals and pose a risk of fire and electrical hazards. Statement 117
Warning Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement 1029
To Install TR114+P4L or TR114+uP4L Cards in the Bridge Server or in an Expansion Chassis
Step 1 Shut down the Bridge server, if it is on, and the PCI expansion chassis, if applicable.
Step 2 Attach an antistatic wrist strap, and ground yourself to the Bridge server.
Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself. Statement 94
Step 3 If you are not using a PCI expansion chassis, skip to Step 4.
If you are using a PCI expansion chassis, install the host interface card in any slot in the Bridge server. Install the expansion interface card in the PCI expansion chassis in the slot labeled for that card.
Step 4 Insert each voice-fax card firmly into its slot in the Bridge server or in the PCI expansion chassis, and fasten each card to the back plate with a screw. You may need to attach or remove the bracket that ships with the card, depending on the mechanical configuration of the Bridge server or expansion chassis.
Note that if you view a voice-fax card in Windows 2000 Device Manager, the card may be displayed as an unknown PCI device, with a warning that the drivers for the device are not installed. This is expected behavior and does not indicate an error or a condition requiring action.
Note also that the Found New Hardware wizard may appear for each card during installation or when the Bridge server is restarted. This is expected behavior. Later in the installation process, you can disable the Found New Hardware wizard to prevent it from appearing when the Bridge server is restarted. The Cisco Unity Bridge Installation Guide alerts you when to do the procedure.
Setting Up the Bridge Server
We recommend that you connect the Bridge server to a dedicated uninterruptible power supply.
To Set Up the Bridge Server
Step 1 Place the Bridge server near the phone system and a network connection, in a dry, cool area that is free of dust.
Step 2 Attach peripheral devices—such as an external modem or expansion chassis—to the Bridge server, if applicable. Follow the manufacturer installation and test instructions.
Caution Do not attach the network cable to the server until you have installed the latest recommended Microsoft service packs and updates. The
Cisco Unity Bridge Installation Guide alerts you when to install the service packs and updates, and when to connect to the network later in the installation process.
Step 3 Connect the Bridge server to the phone system.
For pinout information, see the "Brooktrout Technology TR114+P4L and TR114+uP4L PCI Voice-Fax Cards" appendix.
Step 4 On the phone system, create a hunt group for the analog extensions used for the Bridge so that incoming calls will be sent to any available Bridge analog port. To dedicate Bridge analog ports to handle only outgoing calls, do not include the ports in the hunt group. Refer to the phone system documentation.
