IP trunk card status
553-3001-363 Standard 2.00
Install and configure IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) node
Note: If the (a) IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) Node is being installed from an
OTM 2.1 (and later) PC on a remote subnet, and (b) communication with
the Leader 1 and the Follower cards is not possible after transmitting the
node properties, card properties and dialing plan to Leader 0 and
rebooting the Leader 0 card, this means that the Leader 1 and the
Follower cards are unable to communicate with the remote OTM PC. This
is usually due to the fact that the IP trunk card no longer defaults to
communicating with the same router as the one used by OTM 2.1 (and
later). By default, IP traffic is directed to the TLAN router, as most IP traffic
uses the TLAN subnet. If the OTM 2.1 (and later) PC is on the ELAN
subnet, which is separate from the TLAN subnet, there probably is no
routing table entry to route IP traffic meant for the OTM 2.1 (and later) PC
IP address to that ELAN router.
This can be corrected by connecting a local terminal to the maintenance
port on the faceplate of the Leader 1 and Follower cards. Use the ITG
shell command "routeAdd" on Leader 1 and each Follower card to add a
new IP route for the remote OTM PC subnet that points to the ELAN
Gateway (router) IP address. Repeat this step every time a card is reset
until the card properties, which contain the card routing table entry IP
addresses, have been successfully transmitted to each card.
ITG> routeAdd "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx", "yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy",
where:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the remote OTM PC and
yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is the IP address of the ELAN management gateway.
Press Enter.
