Nortel Networks P0605618 manual Connecting the server to the Elan, Media Access Control address

Installing the server and connecting the peripheral devices Standard 1.0

Connecting the server to the ELAN

Introduction

Connect the CallPilot server to the Meridian 1 switch or Succession CSE 1000 system using the Embedded LAN (ELAN).

ATTENTION

For important considerations about using the ELAN in your network, see “About the ELAN” in Part 1 of the CallPilot Installation and Configuration binder.

Media Access Control address

The Media Access Control (MAC) address is a unique number assigned to network cards and controllers. The procedure below asks you to record the MAC address from the label affixed to the ELAN network card faceplate.

The network card faceplate is visible through the slot openings in the back of the chassis.

To connect the server to the ELAN

1Refer to the diagram on page 59 to locate the ELAN Ethernet connector.

2Locate the label on the ELAN network card faceplate that identifies the ELAN controller’s MAC address.

3Record the MAC address on the Configuration Wizard worksheet that is provided in Part 1 of the CallPilot Installation and Configuration binder.

You need the MAC address to identify the ELAN when running the Configuration Wizard to configure the CallPilot server.

4Connect an RJ-45 network cable from the ELAN hub to the ELAN connector on the server.

Note: The ELAN hub is optional if you use a cross-over network cable to make a direct point-to-point connection from the server to the switch.
