Chapter 6: IP interface configuration

This chapter covers the following tasks:

Connecting to the IPSIs on page 53

IPSI address configuration on page 54

Programming the IPSI for DHCP addressing on page 59

Programming the IPSI for static addressing on page 54

Verifying connectivity to the media server on page 61

Verifying that the IPSIs are translated on page 62

Upgrading the IPSI firmware version (if necessary) on page 62

Enabling control of the IPSIs on page 62

Verifying the license status on page 62

At a minimum, you must program and connect to the reference TN2312BP IP Server Interface (IPSI) so that the system does not enter No License Mode. Once you connect the IPSIs to the control network, the IPSIs might generate an alarm if the firmware is not the most current. The alarm stops automatically once you upgrade the IPSI firmware.

For how to connect the S8500 Ethernet cables, see About media server port connections on page 19.

Connecting to the IPSIs

Connect CAT5 cables from the IPSI circuit packs to the dedicated control network or to the customer LAN.
