Overview

This chapter provides an update of the R7 administration procedures, which were described in Chapter 2, “DCS Administration,” of issue 1 of this book. The R8 changes described in this chapter are:

•R8 administration procedures using the changed ethernet Data Module screen and the new IP Interfaces screen

•use of IP Routes, which, in some cases, are not needed in R8 when they were needed in R7

•additional procedures for administering CMS and Intuity AUDIX

TCP/IP connections (ppp or ethernet) require DEFINITY ECS Release 7 or later hardware and software. ISDN and BX.25 connections are supported on switches upgrading to R8 and pre-R7 switches can be connected to R8 switches via ISDN or BX.25. However, new systems are not sold with X.25 connections. Therefore, all switches in the configuration are assumed to be upgraded to release R7 or later.

Supported Switches and Adjuncts

Csi-model switches cannot have X.25 connections. New R8si and R8r switches cannot have new X.25 connections but pre-R7 switches with X.25 connections can be upgraded to R8 and keep the X.25 connections.

The vs model of DEFINITY ECS cannot be upgraded to R8 — R6.3 is the last release supported for the vs model. However, pre-R7 releases of the vs model will be supported (via X.25 and ISDN, not TCP/IP) in customer networks that include R8 versions of the csi, si, and r models.

The call management system (CMS) and Intuity adjuncts can be connected to the DEFINITY ECS R8csi with an ethernet connection and to the si and r models with either an ethernet or Bx.25 connection. Procedures for administering these connections are not covered in this book. They are documented in CentreVu CMS Switch Connections and Administration (585-215-876) for CMS and in Intuity Messaging Solutions, LAN Integration with DEFINITY ECS (585-313-602) for Intuity. CMS administration is covered in Centre CMS Software Installation and Setup, 585-215-866.
