20Chapter 2 1002rp server description

Switch connectivity

For more details about how the 1002rp server and switch connection is established, refer to the Installation and Configuration Task List (NN44200-306).

CallPilot ELAN subnet and Nortel server subnet setup

The 1002rp server provides 10/100Base-T Ethernet connectivity through NICs installed in the server. See "Slot assignments" (page 15) for details on the location of NICs. The function of the NIC varies based on switch connectivity, as described below:

Meridian 1 or Communication Server 1000 systems

•One NIC provides connectivity to the ELAN subnet.

For information about the purpose and requirements of the ELAN, see the Planning and Engineering Guide (NN44200-200).

•A second NIC is optional.

This optional NIC is required only for Meridian 1 or Communication Server 1000 systems that require a connection to the Nortel server subnet (in addition to the ELAN subnet connection). The Nortel server subnet provides data connectivity between desktop and Web messaging clients, Web-enabled administrative PCs, and the CallPilot server.

Network requirements

Appropriate networking equipment must be available for both the Nortel server subnet and ELAN subnet.
