Configure IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) data in TM 3.1

235

An IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) node is a collection of Media Card 32-port and
ITG-Pentium 24-port trunk cards in a Meridian 1/CS 1000M system for a
selected customer. Each node in the IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) network has
a property sheet that configures the options that apply to the node’s IP
trunk cards.

TM 3.1 stores the Node Properties data. This data generates the BOOTP.1
file. The data is transmitted to the Active Leader.

The bootptab file is a configuration file that downloads to the Active Leader
card. It contains the list of cards and related IP and MAC addresses for the
node. Bootptab is short for "bootp table". When transmitted to the IP Trunk
3.01 (and later) Active Leader IP trunk card, it is renamed "BOOTP.1".

Add an IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) node in TM 3.1 manually

This section uses the TM 3.1 ITG ISDN IP Trunk application to manually
add and configure an IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) node and add IP trunk cards
to the node. A network of multiple IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) nodes can be
configured and managed from the same TM 3.1 PC. Every IP Trunk 3.01
(and later) node must first be added manually on the TM 3.1 PC and the TM
3.1 IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) configuration data must be transmitted to the
IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) node during installation.

After adding a new IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) node on the TM 3.1 PC,
the dialing plans for all existing IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) nodes must be
manually updated to include the destination node dial plan digits entries for
the new IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) node.

There are several tabs across the top of the ITG Node Properties window.
The following sections describe the windows that appear when each of
these tabs is clicked.
