NOTE:
Once the IPSIs are connected to the control network, they may alarm if the firmware is not
the most current. The alarm will automatically go away once the IPSI firmware is
upgraded.
Connect one end of the GREEN CAT5 straight-through cable to the IPSI adapter on the back of
media gateway A. The other end is connected to the next available port on the customer's
network. If not already connected, connect it. For a connectivity guide refer to
with the Avaya™ S8700 Media Server with an Avaya™ G600 Media Gateway

Set IPSI Static IP Addresses

For IP Connect Configurations the IPSI circuit packs get static IP addresses, which are
adminstered directly through the Ethernet port connection on the IPSI faceplate (top port). See
''Connecting directly to the IPSI'' on page 151.
