Safety

This equipment meets all applicable requirements of both the CSA C22.2 No.60950 and UL

60950.

The shock hazard symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert personnel to electrical

shock hazard or equipment damage. The following precautions should also be observed when

installing telephone equipment.

• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet

locations.

• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been

disconnected at the network interface.

• Use caution when working with telephone lines.

Danger: Risk of shock.

Read and follow installation instructions carefully.

Ensure the system and system expansion units are unplugged from the power socket and

that any telephone or network cables are unplugged before opening the system or system

expansion unit.

If installation of additional hardware and /or servicing is required, disconnect all telephone

cable connections prior to unplugging the system equipment.

Ensure the system and system expansion units are plugged into the wall socket using a

three-prong power cable before any telephone cables are connected.

Radio-frequency Interference

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized maintenance facility designated

by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment

malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect

the equipment. Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections

of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are

connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

Caution: Only qualified persons should service the system.

The installation and service of this hardware is to be performed only by service personnel

having appropriate training and experience necessary to be aware of hazards to which they

are exposed in performing a task and of measures to minimize the danger to themselves or

other persons.

Electrical shock hazards from the telecommunication network and AC mains are possible

with this equipment. To minimize risk to service personnel and users, the system must be

connected to an outlet with a third-wire ground. Service personnel must be alert to the

possibility of high leakage currents becoming available on metal system surfaces during

power line fault events near network lines. These leakage currents normally safely flow to

Protective Earth ground via the power cord. Therefore, it is mandatory that connection to

an earthed outlet is performed first and removed last when cabling to the unit. Specifically,

operations requiring the unit to be powered down must have the network connections

(central office lines) removed first.

Caution: Warning

Local, state and federal requirements for Emergency 911 services support by Customer

Premises Equipment vary. Consult your telecommunication service provider regarding

compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Warning: Equipment generates RF energy.

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy. If not installed

and used in accordance with the installation manual, it may cause interference to radio

communications. It has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A

computing device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with ICES.003, CLASS A

Canadian EMI Requirements. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is not

permitted and is likely to cause interference.

Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but

should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician.

Hearing Aid Compatibility

System telephones are hearing-aid compatible, as defined in Section 68.316 of Part 68 FCC Rules.

Repairs

In the event of equipment malfunction, all repairs to certified equipment will be performed by an

authorized supplier.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could

void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Important Safety Instructions

The following safety instructions cover the installation and use of the Product. Read carefully and

retain for future reference.

Installation

Use

When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to

reduce risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:

1 Read and understand all instructions.

2 Follow the instructions marked on the product.

3 Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol

cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

4 Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or

laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.

Warning: To avoid electrical shock hazard to personnel or equipment damage observe

the following precautions when installing telephone equipment:

1 Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

2 Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically

designed for wet locations.

3 Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone

line has been disconnected at the network interface.

4 Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines. The exclamation

point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence

of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the

literature accompanying the product. This symbol on the product is used to

identify the following important information: Use only with a CSA or UL

certified CLASS 2 power supply, as specified in the user guide.

5 Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand or table. The product may fall, causing

serious damage to the product.

6 This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This product

should not be placed in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided.

7 Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where the cord will

be abused by persons walking on it.

8 Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in the risk of fire or electric

shock.

9 Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

10 To reduce the risk of electric shock do not disassemble this product, but have it sent to a

qualified service person when some service or repair work is required.

11 Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel

under the following conditions:

a When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

b If the product has been exposed to rain, water or liquid has been spilled on the product,

disconnect and allow the product to dry out to see if it still operates; but do not open up the

product.

c If the product housing has been damaged.

d If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.

12 Avoid using a telephone during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric

shock from lightning.

13 Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

14 Caution: To eliminate the possibility of accidental damage to cords, plugs, jacks, and the

telephone, do not use sharp instruments during the assembly procedures.

15 Save these instructions.

R2MFC Media Bay Module Installation and Configuration Guide

Chapter 1

Getting started

About this guide

This guide explains how to install, configure, and maintain the Nortel R2MFC Media Bay Module

(R2MFC MBM).

The guide also provides information about the Command Line Interface (CLI) tool used to

configure, operate, administer and maintain the R2MFC MBM from a computer.

The document contains the following chapters:

Chapter 2, “Overview” — introduces the elements of the R2MFC MBM.

Chapter 3, “Preparing to install the R2MFC MBM” — describes the process of preparing for

R2MFC MBM installation.

Chapter 4, “Installing the R2MFC MBM” — describes the process of installing the R2MFC

MBM and connecting the R2MFC MBM to the host system.

Chapter 5, “Configuring the R2MFC MBM” — describes the configuration tools and the process

of configuring the R2MFC MBM.

Chapter 6, “R2MFC MBM maintenance” — describes the maintenance tools and the process of

maintaining the R2MFC MBM.

Chapter 7, “Command Line Interface (CLI)” — describes the Command Line Interface and the

commands used to configure, operate, administer, and maintain the R2MFC MBM.

Audience

This guide is intended for BCM administrators who install MBMs.

Note: The CLI is separate from the Business Communications Manager

(BCM) system configuration tool.
