Administering TCP/IP LAN Connectivity


 


Avaya is not responsible for the installation, administration, or test of the LAN. Customers should seek service as directed by their LAN administrator to resolve problems with their LAN.

Complete the procedures in this section to establish addresses for the Avaya Intuity system to use to send and receive information over the customer's LAN. These procedures include:

Before you begin these procedures, however, you must determine if the LAN is administered for the system.

Some LANs may be administered prior to your arrival on site. Other LANs require that the administration for a new machine be done at the time of installation because an open connection may cause the LAN to fail.

Determine if you need to notify the LAN administrator and arrange for administration of the LAN for the system. When the LAN is administered for the system, continue with Initializing the LAN Circuit Card.

Initializing the LAN Circuit Card

To initialize the LAN circuit card:

  1. Start at the Avaya Intuity Main Menu and select:

    2. TCP/IP Administration

    	Network Interface Card Set-up

    The system displays the Network Interface Card Set-up Window.

  2. Confirm the network interface card type in the Network Interface Card: field.

    3. The default for Intuity Release 5 systems is PRO100B.

  3. If you need to change the network interface card type:
      1. Select the Network Interface Card: field.
      2. Press F2 (Choices).

        3. The system displays the Network Interface Card Type Menu.

      3. Select the network interface card type to be used on the system and press ENTER.
         

        Important! Use the UP ARROW key and DOWN ARROW key to find the correct card type, if necessary.

        4. The system displays your selection in the Network Interface Card: field.

        If you do not need to change the network interface card type, continue with Step�4.

  4. Confirm the media type in the Network Media Type: field.

    5. The default for Intuity Release 5 systems is Auto-Detect.

  5. If you need to change the network media type:
      1. Select the Network Media Type: field.
      2. Press F2 (Choices).

        3. The system displays the Network Media Type Menu.

      3. Select the network media type to be used on this system and press ENTER.

        4. The system displays your selection in the Network Media Type: field.

        If you do not need to change the network media type, continue with Step 6.

  6. Press F3 (Save).
  7. Press F6 (Cancel).

    8. The system displays the TCP/IP Administration Menu.

  8. Continue with Establishing Network Addresses.

Establishing Network Addresses

To establish network addresses:

  1. Start at the TCP/IP Administration Menu and select:

    2. Network Addressing

    The system displays the Network Addressing Window.
     

    Note: The fields in this window and other windows shown here are examples only. Your windows will match the current entries for the system that you are administering.

  2. Confirm the TCP/IP interface name in the TCP/IP Interface: field.
     

    Note: The TCP/IP interface name for the supported LAN circuit card is eeE_0.

    If you need to change the TCP/IP interface name, you must enter capital letters as capitals, and lowercase letters as lowercase.

  3. Enter the host name into the Host Name: field.
     

    Note: This is a case-sensitive field. You must enter capital letters as capitals, and lowercase letters as lowercase.

  4. Enter the internet protocol (IP) address for the Avaya Intuity system into the IP Address: field.
     

    Note: Do not enter prefacing zeros in any field. For example, if the IP address is written as 192.050.09.12, enter it as 192.50.9.12.

  5. Enter the number of the subnet mask into the Subnet Mask: field.
  6. Enter the default gateway IP address into the Default Gateway IP Address: field.
     

    Note: If there is no entry for this field, leave the field blank.

  7. Continue with Attaching the LAN Cable.

Attaching the LAN Cable

To attach the LAN cable:

  1. Shut down the system.
     

    Note: The customer must provide and test the LAN cable.

  2. Attach the LAN cable to the LAN circuit card. See Connecting the LAN Circuit Card for more information.
  3. Reboot the system.
  4. Continue with Testing the TCP/IP Connection.
