Configuration of IP Telephony nodes using OTM 2.2 Page 471 of 910
IP Line Description, Installation and Maintenance
2Enter the Card Properties data for the Leader 0 and Follower cards as
follows:
a. Card role: Assign the Card role of Leader 0, to the first card
configured. For the second card configured, assign the role of
Leader 1. For all remaining cards, assign the role of Follower.
Note: When adding cards for a node that resides on a CS 1000S system
for the purpose of retrieving OM reports, always assign the Signaling
Server to be the Leader 0 card. A backup Signaling Server, if present, is
assigned to be the Leader 1 card and all the Voice Gateway Media Cards
in the node are assigned to be Follower cards. If no Backup Signaling
Server is present, assign one of the Voice Gateway Media Cards in the
node to be the Leader 1 card.
b. Management IP: This is the ELAN network interface IP address for
the Voice Gateway Media Card. OTM 2.2 and Meridian 1/CS 1000M
use this address to communicate with the card.
Note: Ensure that the ELAN network interface IP address of the Voice
Gateway Media Card is not the same IP address as the Call Processor
ELAN network interface IP address that is configured on the Ports tab.
Each IP address must be unique.
c. Management MAC: This is the motherboard Ethernet address from
the “Voice Gateway Media Card installation summary sheet” on
page 307.
d. Voice IP: This is the TLAN network interface IP address for the card.
e. Voice LAN gateway IP: This is the IP address of the router interface
on the TLAN.
CAUTION
Nortel recommends that the TLAN network interface IP
address of the Voice Gateway Media Card(s) and the
TLAN Node IP address not be the same IP address; that
is, each IP address should be unique. (Note: the TLAN
Node IP address is configured on the General tab.)
If a card’s TLAN network interface IP address and the
Node IP address are the same, then it is necessary to
reboot the Voice Gateway Media Card every time there
is a temporary loss of ELAN or TLAN subnet
connectivity.
