Network information
When planning your installation there are certain network-connection considerations that you should take into
account. The following sections describe such considerations for several types of network interfaces.
Network Diagram
Draw a network overview diagram that displays all neighboring IP nodes, connected elements and telephony
components.
IP related information
Before you can set up the basic IP connectivity for your OnSite 2800 Series you should have the
following information:
•
IP addresses and subnet masks used for Ethernet LAN and WAN ports
•
IP addresses and subnet masks used for the V.35 or X.21 serial WAN port
•
IP addresses and subnet masks used for the T1/E1 WAN port
•
IP addresses of central TFTP Server used for configuration upload and download
•
Login and password for PPPoE Access.
Software tools
You will need a PC (or equivalent) with a VT-100 emulation program (e.g. HyperTerminal) to configure the
software on your OnSite VPN Router.
Power source
If you suspect that your AC power is not reliable, for example if room lights flicker often or there is machinery
with large motors nearby, have a qualified professional test the power. Install a power conditioner if necessary.
