Chapter 6: IP interface configuration
This chapter covers the following tasks:
Connecting to the IPSIs on page 53
IPSI address configuration on page 54
Programming the IPSI for DHCP addressing on page 59
Programming the IPSI for static addressing on page 54
Verifying connectivity to the media server on page 61
Verifying that the IPSIs are translated on page 62
Upgrading the IPSI firmware version (if necessary) on page 62
Enabling control of the IPSIs on page 62
Verifying the license status on page 62
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 About media server port connections
on
page 19.
Connecting to the IPSIs
Connect CAT5 cables from the IPSI circuit packs to the dedicated control network or to the
customer LAN.
