Connecting to the IPSIs
NOTE:
The media gateways must be installed, connected to each other, and powered up.
This chapter covers the following tasks:
• Programming the IPSI circuit packs on page 50
• Using DHCP addressing on page 50
• Using static addressing on page 51
• Verifying that IPSIs are translated on page 54
• Verifying connectivity to media server on page 55
• Upgrading IPSI firmware version (if necessary) on page 55
• Enabling control of IPSIs on page 55
• Verifying license status on page 56
• Reusing a TN2312AP/BP circuit pack on page 56
NOTE:
At a minimum you must program the reference IPSI and connect to it to avoid going into
No License Mode.
NOTE:
Once the IPSIs are connected to the control network, they may alarm if the firmware is not
the most current. The alarm automatically goes away once the IPSI firmware is upgraded.
Single control network: Connect one end of the GREEN CAT5 straight-through cable to the IPSI
adapter on the back of media gateway in position A.
Duplicated control network: In addition connect one end of the RED CAT5 straight-through cable to the
IPSI adapter on the back of media gateway in position B.
Dedicated control network: The other end is connected to the next available port on the Ethernet switch.
Nondedicated control network: The other end is connected to the next available port on the customer’s
network.
