Nortel Networks NN43001-563 Congure IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) data in TM 3.1

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

The IP trunk cards must be enabled later after the card properties and

optionally,the IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) software, has been transmitted from

TM 3.1 to the IP trunk cards.

Conﬁgure IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) data in TM 3.1

Before the IP Trunk3.01 (and later) data is conﬁgured in TM 3.1, obtain

all the IP addresses for the new IP Trunk3.01 (and later) node from the

network administrator and add them to the installation summary sheet. Use

an IP Trunk3.01 (and later) Installation Summary Sheet to facilitate data

entry into TM 3.1 (and later). Obtain the node IP addresses of any existing

IP Trunk3.01 (and later) nodes in the network.

Refer to "ITG engineering guidelines" (page 87) for information on IP Trunk

3.01 (and later) IP address requirements.

An IP Trunk3.01 (and later) node is a collection of Media Card 32-port and

ITG-Pentium 24-port trunk cards in a Meridian 1/CS 1000M system for a

selected customer. Each node in the IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) network has

a property sheet that conﬁgures the options that apply to the node’s IP

trunk cards.

TM 3.1 stores the Node Properties data. This data generates the BOOTP.1

ﬁle. The data is transmitted to the Active Leader.

The bootptab ﬁle is a conﬁguration ﬁle that downloads to the Active Leader

card. It contains the list of cards and related IP and MAC addresses for the

node. Bootptab is short for "bootp table". When transmitted to the IP Trunk

3.01 (and later) Active Leader IP trunk card, it is renamed "BOOTP.1".

This section uses the TM 3.1 ITG ISDN IP Trunkapplication to manually

add and conﬁgure an IP Trunk3.01 (and later) node and add IP trunk cards

to the node. A network of multiple IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) nodes can be

conﬁgured and managed from the same TM 3.1 PC. Every IP Trunk3.01

(and later) node must ﬁrst be added manually on the TM 3.1 PC and the TM

3.1 IP Trunk3.01 (and later) conﬁguration data must be transmitted to the

IP Trunk3.01 (and later) node dur ing installation.

After adding a new IP Trunk3.01 (and later) node on the TM 3.1 PC,

the dialing plans for all existing IP Trunk3.01 (and later) nodes must be

manually updated to include the destination node dial plan digits entries for

the new IP Trunk3.01 (and later) node.

There are several tabs across the top of the ITG Node Properties window.

The following sections describe the windows that appear when each of

these tabs is clicked.
