190 Install and configure IP Trunk3.01 (and later) node

Overlapping channel numbers

Do not provision the ISL channel numbers on both cards with the same
channel numbers. For example, do not configure Channel 10 on both
cards. The Meridian 1/CS 1000M rejects this numbering plan but the IP
trunk card does not. Therefore, it is possible to implement the incorrect
card numbering, making all channels above the first overlapping number
unusable.
Install and cable IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) cards

Card installation procedure

CAUTION
CAUTION WITH ESDS DEVICES
Use ESD precautions when unpacking the hardware and
unpacking the cards.
Place each IP trunk card in the Meridian 1 or CS 1000 system and record
the TN, ELAN MAC address, and card density on the IP Trunk3.01 (and
later) Installation Summary Sheet. The ELAN MAC address is labeled on
the IP trunk card faceplate as the motherboard Ethernet address.
Each ITG-Pentium 24-port trunk card requires two slots in a IPE shelf. Only
the left slot of the card requires connection to the system IPE backplane
and I/O panel. Each Media Card 32-port trunk card requires only one slot in
the system IPE shelf.
At least one DCHIP card must be installed in an IP Trunk3.01 (and later)
node. The D-Channel (DCH) PC Card and the associated NTCW84EA
DCHIP PC Card Pigtail cable must be installed on to the DCHIP card.
Install a maximum of eight IP trunk cards in an IPE shelf. The ITG-Pentium
24-port trunk card can occupy any two adjacent slots in an IPE shelf, with
the left slot of the card plugging into slots 0 to 6 and 8 to 15. The left slot
of an IP trunk card cannot be plugged in slot 7, because the XPEC card is
situated in-between slots 7 and 8.
Toallow a module to hold the maximum number of IP trunk cards, install
each ITG-Pentium 24-port trunk card with the left slot of the card inserted
in an even-numbered slot.
If the maximum card density for each module is not required, theleft slot of
the IP trunk card can be inserted in an odd-numbered slot.
The required software version on the ITG-P card is version 5.7.
