From the BASH prompt, use the setip command to administer each parameter:
1 Type setip name=<machine name>
2 Type setip cust=<IP address, subnet mask, default gateway>
3 Type setip dns=<dns IP addresses and/or names>
4 Type setip wins=<WINS IP address>
CAUTION:
You must reboot the system for the machine name parameter to take effect. It is important
to reboot at this point because subsequent procedures depend on the correct machine
name.
5 Type reboot nice. The reboot process should take about 5 minutes.
See setip command
on page 332, for more information about the setip command.
These parameters can also be set in the Network Places properties on the S8100 Windows 2000 desktop.
In the event that customers require a new IP address, they can use the Terminal Services access to the
S8100 Windows 2000 desktop.
License file, password file, and installation script
overview
License file Remote Feature Activation (RFA) is a web-based application that enables the creation and
deployment of license files for every switch. The license file enables the switch’s software category,
release, features, and capacities. License files are created using SAP order information and/or current
customer configuration information. Without a license file, the switch does not provide normal call
processing.
Without a valid license installed or a mismatched license:
1 The system generates a major alarm.
2 Depending upon the nature of the error, a 6-day countdown timer starts, but call processing
continues unchanged.
3 If the countdown timer expires, the switch runs in Administration Mode only, and call-processing
capability is limited to incoming and outgoing calls only to preadministered numbers.
NOTE:
Starting with Release 10, the init login cannot change the customer options, offer option,
or special applications forms.
For customers with a maintenance contract, the installation script installs the following customer-related
parameters: 1) RAS IP address, 2) product IDs (definity and audix), 3) alarm-destination number, and
4) alarm origination. The installation script file can be created and downloaded using the Automatic
Registration tool (ART) on the ART web site.
For upgrades from pre-R10 software, the Feature Extraction tool must be run before the license file is
created.
