Chapter 6: Ip Interface Configuration; Connecting To The Ipsis - Avaya S8500 Installing And Configuring

Chapter 6: IP interface configuration

This chapter covers the following tasks:

Connecting to the IPSIs

●
IPSI address configuration
●
Programming the IPSI for DHCP addressing
●
Programming the IPSI for static addressing
●
Verifying that the IPSIs are translated
●
Verifying connectivity to the media server
●
Upgrading the IPSI firmware version (if necessary)
●
Enabling control of the IPSIs
●
Verifying the license status
●
At a minimum, you must program and connect to the reference TN2312BP IP Server Interface
(IPSI) so that the system does not enter No License Mode. Once you connect the IPSIs to the
control network, the IPSIs might generate an alarm if the firmware is not the most current. The
alarm stops automatically once you upgrade the IPSI firmware.
For how to connect the S8500 Ethernet cables, see
page 24.
Connecting to the IPSIs
Connect CAT5 cables from the IPSI circuit packs to the dedicated control network or to the
customer LAN.
