All NSP models support maintenance and programming via TCP/IP with Esi-Access version 2.6.1 or higher. If you’re at the customer site and wish to connect Esi-Access to an E-Class system through the NSP: 1. At the Site Connection screen in Esi-Access, select the communication type Network.
System hardware The NSP circuit card is about the size of a credit card. A mounting bracket is included with the NSP card for mounting to any E-Class system cabinet. An 8-pin modular jack provides the 10/100Base-T connection to the IP network.
The NSP requires only two screws to mount in the E-Class cabinet. We also supply two cables for connection to the E-Class main board: The gray, flat cable is the NSP data cable; the four-wire “Y” cable is the NSP power cable.
5. Remove the LNC by disconnecting the cables and removing the screws. Place the card to the side. 6. Remove the cover plate from the NSP mount opening, which is on the upper-right corner of the front panel. 7. Follow the instructions in “Installing the NSP” (page 6).

Note: From the front of the IP 40e, the LNC is the top card on the right. 4. Remove the cover plate from the NSP mount opening, which on the upper-right corner of the front panel. 5. Follow the instructions in “Installing the NSP,” page 6.
Range: 0.0.0.0 through 255.255.255.252 The subnet mask is used to define the network to which the NSP is connected. If using the standard ESI IP addressing scheme, set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. Otherwise, consult with the site network administrator to obtain the correct subnet mask.

Appendix A (page 11) for instructions about how to determine the gateway address. Note: The gateway address must always be on the same network as the NSP; i.e. if using the standard ESI IP address scheme, the gateway router’s LAN (or inside) address must be in the range of 192.168.100.1 to 192.168.100.254.
TCP/UDP service port numbers The NSP TCP/UDP port numbers are included within the range specified by the prefix assigned in program Function 821. For example, if the UDP port prefix entered in Function 821 were 59, the port number for connecting via Esi-Access would be 59002.
Function 824. • NSP Port Number — The IP services port that the NSP uses to communicate with Esi-Mail. The first two digits must match the UDP Port Number prefix assigned in Function 821 (59 is the default).
NSP Installation Manual Appendix A: Checking existing address information Important: The procedure shown below is for use within Windows 95 and 98. However, if you’re using Windows NT, Windows 2000 or Windows XP: 1. Click on the Windows Start button and select Run. The Run window will appear.

In either case, you usually will be able to pick a very high IP address in the range, and use that as the NSP’s IP address. To ensure that the IP address you choose is not in use by another host on the network, PING the IP address you choose for the NSP.
This Appendix provides a quick method for verifying the NSP connection. If you find a problem, you must correct it before installing Esi-Mail. On a user PC on the customer’s network, you can quickly verify the IP path to the NSP by using the ®...
