Programming the IPSI circuit packs

IP server interface (IPSI) circuit packs get IP addresses in one of two ways:

•Using dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP), if a dedicated (private) control network

•Using static IP addressing, if a nondedicated (public) control network.

NOTE:

Before beginning, read this procedure to familiarize yourself with it. With DHCP addressing, there are certain sequences that need to be completed before a predetermined time-out interval.

Using DHCP addressing

For the TN2312BP IPSI circuit packs to get IP addresses dynamically, you must first assign the switch ID (A through J) and the cabinet number (01 through 64) to each IPSI circuit pack. For G650 Media Gateways, a cabinet is defined as one or more media gateways connected by TDM cable, which is called a G650-rack-mount-stack.

Administering the location assignment

1Fully insert the TN2312BP IPSI circuit pack. If necessary, reseat the circuit pack to begin the programming sequence.

NOTE:

You must do the following steps within 5 seconds after inserting the circuit pack.

2Insert a pen, golf tee, or similar object (no graphite pencil) into the recessed push button switch.

NOTE:

If you pass up the letter or number that you want, you must either cycle through all the letters or numbers to get to the one you want or reinsert (reseat) the circuit pack and begin again.
