Connecting to the IPSIs

NOTE:
The media gateways must be installed, connected to each other, and powered up.
This chapter covers the following tasks:
•
Programming the IPSI circuit packs
•
Using DHCP addressing
•
Using static addressing
•
Verifying that IPSIs are translated
•
Verifying connectivity to media server
•
Upgrading IPSI firmware version (if necessary)
•
Enabling control of IPSIs
•
Verifying license status
•
Reusing a TN2312AP/BP circuit pack
NOTE:
At a minimum you must program the reference IPSI and connect to it to avoid going into
No License Mode.
NOTE:
Once the IPSIs are connected to the control network, they may alarm if the firmware is not
the most current. The alarm automatically goes away once the IPSI firmware is upgraded.
Single control network: Connect one end of the GREEN CAT5 straight-through cable to the IPSI
adapter on the back of media gateway in position A.
Duplicated control network: In addition connect one end of the RED CAT5 straight-through cable to the
IPSI adapter on the back of media gateway in position B.
Dedicated control network: The other end is connected to the next available port on the Ethernet switch.
Nondedicated control network: The other end is connected to the next available port on the customer's
network.
