Meridian America Link/Customer Controlled Routing manual Overview of Meridian Link

Chapter 2: Overview of Meridian Link 25

Ethernet support is automatically enabled during application installation. All NSE files will be loaded to the hard disk for configuration by the customer during installation. To configure the NSE, see Procedure 8 in Chapter 14, ÒSoftware installation, upgrade, and update procedures.Ó

Note: If you do not intend to provide Ethernet LAN-based communications on your system, you should disable the support during application installation (you do this by entering the appropriate keycode). By disabling this support, you increase the processing power available to Meridian Link and CCR.

For Ethernet LAN support, Application Modules must contain

¥an MVME167-02 SBC card

¥an MVME712M transition card

¥a generic I/O panel

¥NT7D47DA and NT7D47EA cables

For more information about installing the NT7D47DA and NT7D47EA cables, refer to Procedure 28: Installing the cables for Ethernet LAN support in Chapter 17, ÒHardware upgrade.Ó

For more information about the MVME167-02 card, the MVME712M transition card, and the generic I/O panel, refer to Chapter 4, ÒMeridian Link/CCR hardware.Ó

If an IPE Module or an Application Module is removed from the network, the remaining modules and PCs that used to have access must be informed of the disconnection. How to remove the IPE Module or Application Module entry from the accessing database depends on the TCP/IP software used on the PC.

When you disconnect the IPE Module or Application Module from the network, you must use the maint command stopNSE to disable the NSE software, or error messages will appear on the system console. For more information on the stopNSE command, refer to the Application Module and Intelligent Peripheral Equipment Module Diagnostic and Maintenance Guide (NTP 553-3211-510).
