Aspire Software Manual Features ◆439
IP Networking
Each node on an IP networked Aspire system is defined in Program 10-27-01 : IP System
ID. For example, Site A has ID 1 and Site B system has ID 2 in Program 10-27-01. This must
be the same in every node.
In Program 11-01-01 : System Numbering, if Site 1 system (system ID 1) has 700 as the
master number, the entry for "70" would be "2".
Site 2 system (system ID 2) has 710 as the master number, the entry for "71" would also be
"2".
Note that in order to assign a system ID, the "type" must temporarily be set to "8" (network-
ing). Once the system ID has been assigned, you can change the type to the required entry (2).
The system ID defined in Program 11-01-01 is where the voice mail master number resides.
Refer to the example below:
Multiple Site Networking Available
IP Networking allows for a maximum of 50 nodes. With ISDN Networking, the maximum number
of nodes depends on the type of trunks used - PRI, BRI or a mixture of both. As the Aspire M/L is
limited to 8 PRI PCBs, when PRI trunks are used, the limit would be 8 systems, but each system
would require 8 PRI PCBs. PRI Networking is not available with the Aspire S.
The recommended connection for multiple system Networking is to interconnect all the systems
using hardware (required with ISDN Networking) and programming. This also allows such features
as Park to be used in a network.
With VoIP Networking, the system IDs for each networked system are defined in Program 10-27 :
IP System ID. An IP address is defined for each node, and using the Numbering Plan (Program 11-
01xx), the dialed digits are analyzed, the system ID is determined, and the call is routed to the net-
worked system.
