Using Dhcp Addressing - Avaya S8700 Installing Manual

IPSI circuit packs associated with the S8700 Media Server for IP connect configurations always
use the static addressing method.
NOTE:
Before beginning, read this procedure to familiarize yourself with it. With DHCP
addressing there are certain sequences that need to be completed prior to a predetermined
time-out interval.
!
CAUTION:
When reusing TN2312 circuit packs that have previously had a static address programmed
you must erase the existing IP address. Failure to do this may result in serious network
problems for the customer. Use the following procedure to erase an existing IP address
assignment:
Plug the TN2312 into a tone clock slot or reseat it (unplug and plug in) if it is
•
already plugged in.
While the letters IP are flashing on the LED display (five seconds) press the
•
recessed push button on the faceplate of the circuit pack.
The TN2312 is now ready to have another static IP address programmed or a
•
Switch ID and Cabinet number programmed for use in a DHCP configuration.
NOTE:
When the IPSI circuit pack is first inserted into a carrier the faceplate LED display may
present random characters, dots, or lines. This should not last more than one second.
Ignore the display during this period.

Using DHCP addressing:

For the IPSI circuit packs to get IP addresses dynamically, you must first assign the switch ID
(A through J) and the cabinet number (01 through 64) to each IPSI circuit pack.
Fully insert the TN2312 IPSI circuit pack. If necessary reseat the circuit pack to begin
1
the programming sequence. For high and critical reliability configurations make sure the
IPSI being programmed is the standby tone clock.
NOTE:
You must do the following steps within 5 seconds after inserting the circuit pack.
Insert a pen, golf tee, or similar object (no graphite pencil) into the recessed push button
