Connecting the server to the ELAN
Introduction
Connect the CallPilot server to the Meridian 1 switch or Succession
CSE 1000 system using the Embedded LAN (ELAN).

Media Access Control address

The Media Access Control (MAC) address is a unique number assigned to
network cards and controllers. The procedure below asks you to record the
MAC address from the label affixed to the ELAN network card faceplate.
The network card faceplate is visible through the slot openings in the back
of the chassis.

To connect the server to the ELAN

1Refer to the diagram on page 59 to locate the ELAN Ethernet connector.
2Locate the label on the ELAN network card faceplate that identifies the
ELAN controller’s MAC address.
3Record the MAC address on the Configuration Wizard worksheet that is
provided in Part 1 of the CallPilot Installation and Configuration binder.
You need the MAC address to identify the ELAN when running the
Configuration Wizard to configure the CallPilot server.
4Connect an RJ-45 network cable from the ELAN hub to the ELAN
connector on the server.
Note: The ELAN hub is optional if you use a cross-over network cable to
make a direct point-to-point connection from the server to the switch.
ATTEN TION For imp ortant cons idera tions ab out u sing the ELAN in
your network, see “About the ELAN” in Part 1 of the
CallPilot Installation and Configuration binder.
