Before You Begin

The Cisco MCS 7890-C1 is an easy-to-manage, purpose-built appliance that integrates the benefits of media processing (for voice calling and mobility) and digital circuit gateway functionality on a single system. Consolidating these functions creates a cost-effective solution that is simple to set up, manage, and use, thereby lowering total cost of ownership and providing a smooth migration from older, outdated telephony systems to IP communications.

Designed for midmarket organizations with smaller IT staffs, the solution provides investment protection with the capacity to grow to up to 300 employees (400 endpoints) and ten total sites (nine remote sites). The Cisco MCS 7890-C1 comes preinstalled with the Cisco Business Edition 3000 software, integrated dual T1/E1 public-switched-telephone-network (PSTN) interfaces, and an easy-to-use administration and provisioning interface.

Cisco supplies the MCS 7890-C1 in a single package that contains the items that are listed in the Unpacking the MCS 7890-C1 section. Make sure all of the parts are in the package. Never use defective parts. Never replace a part that is listed in the Unpacking the MCS 7890-C1 section with a different type of part. If any item that is listed in the Unpacking the MCS 7890-C1 section is damaged or missing, contact your Cisco representative at your earliest convenience.

Mounting the MCS 7890-C1

This section includes the following MCS 7890-C1 topics:

???Rack-Mounting

???Wall-Mounting, page 6

Rack-Mounting

Perform the following procedure to mount the MCS 7890-C1 in a 19-inch rack. You use items from the rack-mounting kit described in Table 2 on page 3.

Procedure

Step 1 Use screws to attach the rack-mount brackets to the left and right sides of the MCS 7890-C1 as Figure 2 on page 4 shows.

Connecting the MCS 7890-C1

Wall-Mounting

Perform the following procedure to mount the MCS 7890-C1. You use items from the wall-mounting kit described in Table 3 on page 3.

Procedure

Step 1 Take the wall-mounting template and temporarily attach it to the wall on which you want to mount the MCS 7890-C1. Attach the template to the wall so that the image of the MCS 7890-C1 appears in the exact place where you want to mount the MCS 7890-C1.

Step 2 Locate the four dark circles on the wall-mounting template. Locate the lines that intersect inside these dark circles. At each point where the lines intersect inside these dark circles, use a scratch awl or other sharp pointed object to punch a hole through the wall-mounting template to mark the spot on the wall where you want to drill a hole for a mounting screw.

Step 3 Remove the wall-mounting template from the wall. At each of the four spots you marked in Step 2, drill a hole with a 0.3-inch-diameter (7.5-mm-diameter) drill bit. Drill each hole at least 1.37 in. (35 mm) deep.

Step 4 Into each hole that you drilled in Step 3, insert a plastic anchor so that the opening of the anchor is flush with the wall surface.

Step 5 Into each plastic anchor that you inserted in Step 4, insert a tapping screw. Screw in the tapping screw so that there is 0.09 inches (1.5 mm) of space between the wall and the back of the screw head.

Step 6 Hang the MCS 7890-C1 on the wall. To do this, perform the following procedure:

a.Hold the MCS 7890-C1 in both of your hands with the Cisco logo facing you and the MCS 7890-C1 LEDs along the bottom edge.

b.Approach the wall that you inserted the tapping screws into.

c.Align the tapping screws with the round holes in the back of the MCS 7890-C1. Press the MCS 7890-C1 toward the wall so that the heads of the tapping screws enter the round holes.

d.Move the MCS 7890-C1 slowly down the wall. Allow the MCS 7890-C1 to come to rest securely on the tapping screws.

Connecting the MCS 7890-C1

Figure 5 on page 7 shows the various ports on the back panel of the MCS 7890-C1. See Table 4 on page 7 for descriptions of each of the numbers.
