IP Trunk Administration

This section tells you how to administer the IP Trunk service after all installation procedures are complete.

Prerequisites

Before you can administer an IP trunk group, you must have one or more TN802

circuit packs ( umode) and a right-to-use license for the number of ports you need. Refer to DEFINITY ECS System Description for information on the TN802 circuit pack.

The TN802 circuit pack contains the Windows NT™ operating system. The IP trunk software that sends and receives calls over a TCP/IP network resides on this NT server. You need to use a Windows NT application called Configuration Manager, and your DEFINITY ECS switch administration software to administer IP trunk groups.

In order to complete the administration for IP trunks, the following must also be in place:

•The TN802 circuit pack must be connected to an Ethernet 10/100 BaseT local-area network.

•In order to log on to the NT server on the TN802 circuit pack, a monitor, keyboard, and mouse must be connected directly to the circuit pack. Alternatively, you can access the NT server remotely via a dialup connection through a modem connected to the circuit pack.

Finally, remember that IP trunk provides service between specific sites: the switch at each site must have the DEFINITY Internet Protocol Trunk (IP trunk) application or Lucent’s Internet Telephony Server-Enterprise (ITS-E) Release 1.2.

Administration overview

To administer IP trunks on DEFINITY ECS, you must complete the following tasks:
