Function 83: Esi-Link Programming - ESI IVX 128 Plus Installer's Programming Supplement

IVX 128 Plus: additional features
Function 822: Assign IP address pool for local IP phones
Note: If you are supporting both IP Series and IP-compatible IVX products, be aware that this feature is
used only by the IP 200 and IP 40, not by IVX products. On an IVX product, press # until you're
back to the F82 display.
The administrator determines the IP address range to be used by the phones. The EHCP program will
assign the IP phone's IP address from this pool. The IP addresses should, for ease of use, come from
the same subnetwork as the IP PBX. For example, if the IP PBX is using 192.168.210.1, the IP phones
should use a block of 96 addresses from within that subnet. The default starting IP address is
192.168.248.2.
The administrator will enter only the first IP address to be used, followed by the # key. Each extension
that comes on line will be assigned the next available address. Specific IP addresses from within the
subnet can be assigned using Function 82. Press the # key to enter the dot between the octets. Press #
again when finished.
STARTING IP ADDR
192.168.248.2
Function 823: Remote channels
This function sets the number of remote channels available for use by Remote IP Feature Phones. This
is allowed so that such phones don't use up all network bandwidth. A conversation over a Remote IP
Feature Phone uses approximately 60K of bandwidth; so, depending on the amount of available
bandwidth on the network, you may want to restrict the amount of bandwidth used by Remote IP
Feature Phones and Esi-Link.
Example: If a LAN's total available bandwidth is 128K and two remote channels are in use
simultaneously (thus consuming approximately 94% of the 128K), the LAN will have
virtually no available bandwidth, bringing LAN operations — file movement, printing,
etc. — to a standstill.
You must have a Remote Network Card (RNC) installed to set this parameter. If you have an RNC 3 card
installed, you can set one, two or three remote channels; if you have an RNC 12 card installed, you can
set one to 12 remote channels.
Enter the number of remote channels and press # to confirm.

CHANNELS: 12

Function 83: Esi-Link programming

Function 83 is used to program the information required for Esi-Link operation between multiple
IP PBXs at different locations. It is critical that programming is consistent and correct at all locations to
be connected with Esi-Link. Location numbers, names, abbreviations, and addressing parameters
should be planned out in detail prior to performing Function 83 programming.
