Chapter 6: IP interface configuration

This chapter covers the following tasks:

Connecting to the IPSIs on page 57

IPSI address configuration on page 57

Programming the IPSI for static addressing on page 58

Setting the VLAN and diffserv parameters on page 61

Programming the IPSI for DHCP addressing on page 62

Verifying connectivity to the server on page 65

Verifying that the IPSIs are translated on page 65

Upgrading the IPSI firmware version (if necessary) on page 65

Enabling control of the IPSIs on page 65

Verifying the license status on page 66

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.

Connecting to the IPSIs

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

IPSI address configuration

The IPSI circuit pack receives an IP address:

Statically with static IP addressing, if the control network is nondedicated (public) through the customer network.

Dynamically with dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP), if the control network is dedicated (private).
