Port Addressing Scheme

Throughout the configuration of the Vocality multiplexer/router products, references
are made to nodes, bays, slots and port numbers in the network. By convention, the
addressing syntax used is Node:Slot:Channel, where Node is the Node ID, Slot refers to a
logical grouping of ports, often on the chassis or a particular card and Channel refers to
a specific port within a slot. This scheme is adapted to the physical arrangement of each
unit, see pictures in Section 4.1.2 . (This naming scheme applies only to multiplexer
ports, not the Ethernet ports.)
4.1.1

Node ID

The most important item in the unit's configuration is the Node ID. This is a unique
number between 0 and 999 (however 240-255 are reserved) which specifies each unit in
the network and you must program this before anything else. This is done on the
System menu.
You should restart the unit when you have set the Node ID. This will clear previous
routing information and allow the unit to assume the new identity without confusion.
Note: When a unit is configured as a Push Config client , the Node ID is set via the
Push Config Clients menu by the hub unit.
