Enabling AE Services

About this task

Enabling AE Services refers to administering the transport link between Communication Manager and AE Services. You need to enable AE Services if any of the following AE Services features are to be employed.

Procedure

  1. Type change ip-services.

    Communication Manager displays the IP SERVICES form.

  2. Complete Page 1 of the IP SERVICES form as follows:
    1. In the Service Type field, type AESVCS.
    2. In the Local Node field, type the appropriate entry based on whether you are using a Processor Ethernet interface or a CLAN interface:
      • For Communication Manager S8300, S8400, S85xx, S87xx, and S88xx systems that use a processor ethernet interface, type procr.

        noteNote

        On the S8300 and S8400 Communication Manager media servers, Processor Ethernet support is enabled by default. On S85xx S87xx, and S88xx Communication Manager media servers, Processor Ethernet support is not enabled by default. To enable AE Services Processor Ethernet support, see Enabling Processor Ethernet.

      • For DEFINITY Server Csi systems and Communication Manager S8400, S85xx, S87xx, and S88xx systems that use a CLAN interface, type <nodename> (where <nodename> is the name of the CLAN).

        You can locate node names by typing display node-names ip and checking the Local Node field on the IP NODE NAMES form.

    3. In the Local Port field, accept the default (8765).

      If you are adding more than one CLAN for AE Services, repeat Step 2 for each CLAN you add.

  3. Complete Page 3 of the IP SERVICES form as follows.
    1. In the AE Services Server field, type the name of the AE Services server, for example aeserver1.
      noteNote

      On the AE Services server you can obtain this name by typing uname -n at the command prompt. The name you use on Communication Manager must match the AE Services server name exactly.

    2. In the Password field, create a password that consists of 12 to 16 alphanumeric characters, for example aespassword1.
      importantImportant

      This is the password that the AE Services administrator must set on the AE Services Server (Communication Manager Interface > Switch Connections > Edit Connection > Switch Password). The passwords must exactly match on both Communication Manager and the AE Services server.

    3. Set the Enabled field to y.
