Using Static Addressing - Avaya S8700 Manual

Adding a port network
Setting the switch ID
If you have only one system, the default switch ID is A. The second system would be B and so on. The
switch ID is not the media gateway or carrier letter.
1
While the display is flashing, press the button until the switch ID (A through J) shows on the top
character of the LED display. When the correct letter shows, stop. It will flash a few times (5
seconds) then stop. The next character down begins to flash.
Setting the cabinet number
The number to program is the cabinet number not the port network number. If you have more than one
IPSI in a cabinet, they all have the same cabinet number.
1
While the first digit of the number is flashing, press the button until the correct tens digit (0
through 6) shows on the display. When the correct digit shows, stop. It flashes a few times then
stops (five seconds). The second digit begins flashing.
2
While the second digit is flashing, press the button until the correct units digit (0 through 9) shows
on the display. When the correct digit shows, stop. The digit flashes a few times then stops (five
seconds).
3
All segments of the display goes dark for one second, and then the Switch ID and media gateway
stack number is displayed in the top three characters of the LED display. A "V" is shown in the
fourth character (bottom) of the display. When the DHCP server assigns an address to the IPSI,
the center of the "V" is filled in to form the bottom half of a diamond in the display.
For high or critical reliability, repeat these steps for the second IPSI in the cabinet.

Using static addressing

For the IPSI circuit packs to get static IP addresses, you must administer them directly through the
Ethernet port connection on the IPSI faceplate (top port). See
on page 63.

NOTE:
If you pass up the letter or number that you want, you must either cycle through all the
letters or numbers to get to the one you want or reinsert (reseat) the circuit pack and begin
again.
