Chapter 5: Connecting to the IPSIs

The media gateways must be installed, connected to each other, and powered up.
This chapter covers the following tasks:
Connecting to the IPSIs
●
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

At a minimum, you must program the reference IPSI and connect to it to avoid going into No
License Mode. 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.
