== Configuring Spans for a T1 CAS Cisco Unified MeetingPlace System ==

T1 spans connect to the T1 Smart Blade transition modules in the back of the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server. The T1 spans are automatically activated and configured with default settings when the blade command is run. [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 6.1 -- About Configuring the Blades#Table: Default T1 CAS Span Configuration|Table: Default T1 CAS Span Configuration]] lists the default span configuration.

Check the worksheets in [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 6.1 -- Planning Your Audio Server Installation|Planning Your Audio Server Installation]] to see if your Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system is configured this way. If these default settings are accurate for your installation, you do not need to complete this section.

If they are not, see [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 6.1 -- Connecting the Cables to the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8100 Series|Connecting the Cables to the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8100 Series]].

''' Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8106: ''' In a T1 PRI configuration, the maximum number of ports per span is 23. The maximum number of T1 PRI ports for a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8106 is 368 because each MP-MA-16-PRI can support up to 16 spans and it can have only one Multi Access Blade (either MP-MA-4-PRI or MP-MA-16-PRI). 16 spans x 23 ports each = 368 total ports.

''' Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8112: ''' In a T1 PRI configuration, the maximum number of ports per span is 23. The maximum number of T1 PRI ports for a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8112 is 736 because each Multi Access Blade can support up to 16 spans. A Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8112 can have 2 MP-MA-16-PRIs for a total of 32 spans. 32 spans x 23 ports each = 736 total ports.

== Configuring Port Groups ==

You can create port groups so that a group of ports can be configured with the same parameters. You use port groups to separate Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server functions, such as outdial versus no outdial and T1 CAS versus IP.

'''Note: ''' If this installation requires NSF codes or if you are unsure if they are required, see [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 6.1 -- Configuring Network-Specific Facility Codes#Configuring Network-Specific Facility Codes|Configuring Network-Specific Facility Codes]].

===== To Configure Port Groups =====

# At the tech$ prompt, enter ''' port '''. The following menu appears:
#: <tt> meetingplace:tech$ port </tt>

All T1 PRI Cisco Unified MeetingPlace systems are shipped from the factory with protocol table 2 set to use the default setting of AT&T PRI protocol, protocol table 3 to use Nortel PRI, and table 4 to use Bell PRI. If this is not correct for your Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system, change it by using the ''' protparm ''' command.

8. (Optional) Repeat this procedure if you need more than one port group.

9. To exit the ''' port ''' command, enter ''' x '''.

== Assigning Ports to Port Groups ==

You can assign specific ports to port groups so that all ports in that group have the same parameters.

===== To Assign Ports to Port Groups =====

# At the tech$ prompt, enter ''' port '''. See the example in step 1 of the [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 6.1 -- About Configuring the Blades#Configuring Port Groups|Configuring Port Groups]].
# Enter ''' 2 ''' to modify a port record. The first line in the following example appears:

#: '''Note: ''' The preceding example is for a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8112. For a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8106, the ports number from 0 to 368. These are the maximum number of ports allowed. Depending on your configuration, you may have fewer ports.
# Copy the port records by entering ''' 3 '''.
# Enter the port number from which you want to copy, as shown in line 13 of the preceding example. In this example, it is port 0, so enter ''' 0 '''.
# Enter the port numbers to which you want to copy, as shown in line 14 of the preceding example. In this example, all ports are being configured with the same parameters as port 0, so enter ''' 1-735 ''' for a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8112 or ''' 1-368 ''' for a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8106.
# The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system tells you which ports were copied to, as shown in line 15 of the preceding example.
# Exit the ''' port ''' command by entering ''' x '''.

== Configuring T1 Spans for a T1 PRI Cisco Unified MeetingPlace System ==

T1 spans connect to the Multi Access Blade transition modules in the back of your Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server.

'''Note: ''' The T1 spans are automatically activated and configured with default settings when the ''' blade ''' command is run. [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 6.1 -- About Configuring the Blades#Table: Default T1 PRI Span Configuration|Table: Default T1 PRI Span Configuration]] lists the default span configuration.

Check the worksheets in [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 6.1 -- Planning Your Audio Server Installation|Planning Your Audio Server Installation]] to see if your Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system is configured this way. If these default settings are accurate for your installation, you do not need to complete this section.

== Configuring Port Groups ==

You can create port groups so that a group of ports can be configured with the same parameters. Below are the instructions for creating and configuring port groups.

===== To Configure Port Groups =====

# At the tech$ prompt, enter ''' port '''. The following menu appears:
#: <tt> meetingplace:tech$ port </tt>
#: <tt> ***** P O R T / G R O U P C O N F I G M E N U ***** </tt>
#: <tt> 1) View port record(s) </tt>
#: <tt> 2) Modify port record </tt>
#: <tt> 3) Copy port records </tt>
#: <tt> 4) View group record(s) </tt>
#: <tt> 5) Modify group record </tt>
#: <tt> x) Exit program </tt>
#: <tt> Enter command: 3 </tt>
# Modify the group record by entering ''' 5 '''. The second line in the following example appears:
#: <tt> Enter command: 5 </tt>
#: <tt> Enter port group record number [0..31, <cr> for all] : 0 </tt>
#: <tt> ------------ GROUP 0 -------------- </tt>
#: <tt> --- To skip over a field, just press <cr> --- </tt>
#: <tt> Activate the group? [y] : y </tt>
#: <tt> Card type [ T1] : E1 </tt>
#: <tt> Signaling [ ] : protocol table </tt>
#: <tt> Protocol table [0] : 0 </tt>
#: <tt> Number of DID digits [0] : 0 </tt>
#: <tt> Human assistance? [n] : n </tt>
#: <tt> Flash transfer? [n] : n </tt>
#: <tt> Outdial? [y] : y </tt>
#: <tt> Enter command: x </tt>
# Enter the appropriate port group record number. In this example, it is port group 0, so enter ''' 0 '''. The rest of the preceding example appears.
# Activate the port group by entering ''' y '''.
# Select the card type by entering ''' E1 '''.
# Select signaling by entering ''' protocol table '''.
# Select the appropriate protocol table number. In the preceding example, it is protocol table 0, so enter ''' 0 '''. See [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 6.1 -- About Configuring the Blades#Table: Default Protocol Table Settings-E1|Table: Default Protocol Table Settings-E1]] for a list of default protocol tables.
#: '''Note: ''' The protocol table contains the configuration information for the type of signaling used. Cisco Systems ships all E1 Cisco Unified MeetingPlace systems with protocol table 0 set to use the default setting of Euro ISDN protocol and protocol table 1 to use the QSIG protocol. If this is not correct for your Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system, change it with the ''' protparm ''' command.

: '''Note: ''' There are two QSIG variants: QSIG ECMA and QSIG ETSI. Use the same variant that your PBX is set up to use.

8. (Optional) Repeat this procedure if more than one port group is needed.

9. Exit the ''' port ''' command by entering ''' x '''.

== Assigning Ports to Port Groups ==

You can assign specific ports to port groups so that all ports in that group have the same parameters.

===== To Assign Ports to Port Groups =====

# At the tech$ prompt, enter ''' port '''. The menu in step 1 of the [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 6.1 -- About Configuring the Blades#Configuring Port Groups|Configuring Port Groups]] appears.
# Modify a port record by entering ''' 2 '''. The first line in the following example appears:
#: <tt> Enter port record number [0..7] : 0 </tt>
#: <tt> --------------UNIT 0 PORT 0 ------------- </tt>
#: <tt> --- To skip over a field, just press <cr> --- </tt>
#: <tt> Uses port group [ 0] : 0 </tt>
# Enter the port number. In the preceding example, it is port 0, so enter ''' 0 '''. The rest of the preceding example appears.
# Enter the number of the port group. In the preceding example, it is port group 0, so enter ''' 0 '''.
#: '''Note: ''' If you want to copy this port record to other ports, see the [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 6.1 -- About Configuring the Blades#Copying Port Records|Copying Port Records]].
# Exit the ''' port ''' command by entering ''' x '''.

== Copying Port Records ==

Copying port records provides an easy way to copy the port record for one port to as many ports as desired.

===== To Copy Port Records =====

# If you are not already accessing the ''' port ''' command, at the tech$ prompt, enter ''' port '''. See the following example:
#: <tt> meetingplace:tech$ port </tt>
#: <tt> ***** P O R T / G R O U P C O N F I G M E N U ***** </tt>
#: <tt> 1) View port record(s) </tt>
#: <tt> 2) Modify port record </tt>
#: <tt> 3) Copy port records </tt>
#: <tt> 4) View group record(s) </tt>
#: <tt> 5) Modify group record </tt>
#: <tt> x) Exit program </tt>
#: <tt> Enter command: 3 </tt>
#: <tt> Enter port record number to copy from [0..'''959'''] : 0 </tt>
#: <tt> Enter port(s) to copy to [0-'''959'''] : 1-'''959''' </tt>
#: <tt> Copied to port record(s) 1-'''959'''. </tt>
#: <tt> Enter command: x </tt>
#: '''Note: ''' The preceding example is for a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8112. For a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8106, the ports number from 0 to 479. These are the maximum number of ports allowed. Depending on your configuration, you may have fewer ports.
# Copy port records by entering ''' 3 '''.
# Enter the port number from which you want to copy, as shown in line 13 of the preceding example. In the preceding example, it is port 0, so enter ''' 0 '''.
# Enter the port numbers to which you want to copy, as shown in line 14 of the preceding example. In the preceding example, all ports are being configured with the same parameters as port 0, so enter ''' 1-959 ''' for the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8112 or enter ''' 1-479 ''' for the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8106. The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system tells you which ports were copied to, as shown in line 15 of the preceding example.
# Exit the ''' port ''' command by entering ''' x '''.

== Configuring Spans for an E1 Cisco Unified MeetingPlace System ==

E1 spans connect to the Multi Access Blade transition modules in the back of the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server.

'''Note: ''' The E1 spans are automatically activated and configured with default settings when you enter the ''' blade ''' command. [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 6.1 -- About Configuring the Blades#Table: Default E1 Span Configuration|Table: Default E1 Span Configuration]] lists the default span configuration.

Check the worksheets in [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 6.1 -- Planning Your Audio Server Installation|Planning Your Audio Server Installation]] to see if your Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system is configured this way. If these default settings are accurate for your installation, you do not need to complete this section. If the default settings are not accurate for your installation, complete the steps that follow.
