Installing the 3200 Series Standalone

If you are here, you have a 3200 series unit that you will set up as a standalone system. This section covers the following procedures:



Standalone: Connecting to the 3200 Series Gateway Management Interface

The 3200 series gateway provides redundant management interfaces enabling administrators to perform management tasks on the 3200 series unit.


Prerequisites To communicate with the management interface, the following is needed:

• One CAT5 Ethernet cable with RJ45 male-male terminations.


Interconnections The 3200 series gateway provides redundant management interfaces each using one gigabit Ethernet network link.


To communicate with the management interface:

  1. Connect the supplied CAT5 Ethernet cable to the port labeled “MGMT0” at the rear of the 3200 series gateway.



Standalone: Connecting to a VoIP Network

The 3200 series gateway features redundant GigE ports for connection to different VoIP networks. This provides an access point to manage VoIP traffic. Should one of the IP physical interfaces fail, the 3200 series gateway will continue to manage VoIP traffic using the alternate physical interface.


The IP address of the VoIP ports can be modified using the web portal.

Certain configurations of the 3200 series gateway will exceed 100 Mbps, therefore 1000 Mbps is recommended.


Prerequisites To connect the 3200 series gateway to the VoIP network, you will need:

  • Gigabit layer 2 Ethernet switch. A second one is required to support redundancy of the VoIP interface.
  • One or two CAT5 Ethernet cables with RJ45 male-male terminations.
  • If your system has access to a second VoIP network, you can connect it to a second VoIP interface of the 3200 series gateway with an RJ45 (male-male) CAT5 Ethernet cable.


Connections The 3200 series gateway is connected to the VoIP network by one or optionally two Ethernet GigE network links.


To connect the 3200 series unit to the VoIP network:

  1. Connect a CAT5 Ethernet cable to VoIP0 at the rear of the 3200 series gateway. Connect the other end of the same CAT5 cable to the gigabit Ethernet switch.
  2. If your system employs a second gigabit Ethernet switch for redundancy, connect a second CAT5 Ethernet cable to VoIP1 at the rear of the 3200 series gateway. Connect the other end of the same CAT5 cable to the second gigabit Ethernet switch.

This section only applies to the TMG3200 and TSG3200 systems.


Prerequisites To connect to the PSTN network, you must comply with one of the following:

  • Your 3200-TE features SCSI connectors that in turn connect to an SCSI patch panel to terminate in RJ48C connectors for connection to T1/E1 lines. You require one patch panel for each 32-line grouping of T1/E1 line interfaces.
  • Your 3200-DS3 features BNC connectors for connection to DS3 lines. You require two coaxial cables for each DS3 interface.
  • Your 3200-STM1 features electrical or optical STM-1 connectors. You require two fiber optic cables for each STM-1 interface.



Standalone: SCSI Interface (T1/E1) for the 3200-TE

A 3200-TE and SCSI patch panel enables the connection to T1/E1 lines. The termination impedance is set at 120 ohms. It is possible to connect an external balun in order to convert to 75 ohms.

All ports may not be active. T1/E1 ports are activated by software license; the number of active ports depends on the licenses purchased.

Patch panels use straight connections. In other words, they do not cross the RX and TX signals. Connections between the patch panels and the 3200 series gateway require straight cables. The supplied SCSI cables are straight cables. Cables used to connect the network to the patch panel must do the cross connection.

To connect the 3200-TE to the PSTN:

  1. Start with SCSI ports 0-15 located at the bottom right as shown in figure 2.4 on page 19. Connect one SCSI cable between this port and SCSI patch panel number 1, ports 0-15. Connect SCSI ports 16-31 to patch panel number 1, ports 16-31.
  2. Repeat step 1, using lines 32-63 and a second patch panel. Connect lines 32-47 to patch panel 2, ports 0-15. Connect lines 48-63 to patch panel 2, ports 16-31.



Standalone: Dual BNC Interface (DS3) for the 3200-DS3

A 3200-DS3 with 3 sets of BNC connectors enables the connection to DS3 lines.

All ports may not be active. DS3 ports are activated by software license; the number of active ports depends on the licenses purchased.

To connect the 3200-DS3 to the PSTN:

  1. Start with the Dual BNC port pair #0 (right-most). Connect one pair of BNC cables between this port and the DS3 line.
  2. Repeat step 1, using the next available pair of BNC PSTN interface ports.
  3. Connect to the BITS Interface using BITS or SS7 links.



Standalone: Optical Interface (OC3/STM-1) for the 3200-STM1

A 3200-STM-1, with one main and one backup OC3 or STM1 port enables connection to OC3/STM1 lines. See figure 2.6 on page 21. Refer to table 2.3 on page 21 for a listing of optical interfaces. The default SFP module for OC3/STM1 connection is SMF, intermediate reach, (SFP-OC3-IR1) 1310 nm with LC type connectors.

Ensure that the correct SFP model is selected when ordering. If your installation requires a different model from the one that has been provided, you must replace it.
Optical Interfaces
