C. DETERMINE THE IP ADDRESS

using a BOOTP or DHCP server, the IP address may change, dropping any CT Gateway and/or

Voice Processing connections.

If using a CPC, use the IP port for Database (DB) Programming. To use the port, how-

ever, you must first determine the IP address assigned to the CPC.

To determine the IP address, establish a serial or modem connection to the CPC. Then

start a DB Programming session using Session Manager. Before DB Programming is initial-

ized, the system checks for a valid software license. If you have not yet uploaded a software

license (i.e., you are starting DB Programming for the first time using 11.0 software), the fol-

lowing message appears.

If the database is currently being backed up (see

If you click Yes to override the lock, the database backup is aborted. If you click No, the

backup continues, and DB Programming is not initiated.

By default, the CPC is programmed to use a DHCP and BOOTP server to obtain an IP

address. When powered up, the system tries to contact the BOOTP server first. If the system

cannot contact the BOOTP server, it tries the DHCP server. If this fails, then the programmed

static IP address (192.168.200.201 by default) is used.

If desired, change the static IP address (see

reset the system. You can then use the address you entered as the IP address for the DB Pro-

gramming session.

the system. This allows you to verify that the new IP address is assigned to the CPC.

If, however, you do not want to change the static IP address, you must determine the

address that the DHCP or BOOTP server has assigned to the CPC. To do this, establish a Mes-

sage Print connection, then reset the card. When the card is initialized, Message Print displays

information similar to the following:

-01:030- 02:22 01-28 M2002 INF HW CP [8.6.1]: On-Line From CPC IP Port

-01:031- 02:22 01-28 *** CPC HW Address: [8.6.1] IP Address: 198.168.0.0

+Hostname: 'TESTCPC'

You can now close the current DB Programming session and establish a new session

using the IP address displayed in Message Print.
