In this section:


The TDM cards come physically installed in an MA-RMS server; however, users must configure and install the software for the TDM cards. After the TDM cards are prepared, you can commission the TDM cards for the DSC SWe - vSP2000 based on whether or not the DSC SWe - vSP2000 is configured in the MA-RMS server or is configured outside the MA-RMS server. 

Note

The RPM files and the installation script are all bundled under the self-extracting script:  install_tdm_io.sh

This self-extracting script is part of the software bundle.

Note

The procedures in this section are valid on the DSC SWe using either the (VHE 1.0) iphwaeto-1.14.ribbon-14.x86_64-centos6-2-6-32.rpm, or the (VHE 3.0) iphwaeto-1.14.ribbon-14.x86_64-centos7-3-10-0.rpm rpm installation files.

Note

Perform all the procedures in this section in the order they are presented.

Prerequisites 

The following information is required to complete the procedures.

TDM Information

Information neededValue                            Comments
Slot number of the I/O card to be provisioned in the DSC SWe - vSP2000

If available, it is recommended to use slot value 4 or 5 for the first TDM card being added to your DSC SWe - vSP2000.

Name of the HA subnet soft bridge

Path to the IO card software image

Configure the TDM I/O Cards on Host 1 

Start

  1. Login to the MA-RMS server.

  2. Execute the self-extracting installation script as follows to install the TDM IO software:

    [root@bw22u0 dsc_swe_install]# 
./install_tdm_io.sh

    Tip

    Stopping and Starting the dscvm-io service attaches the PCI device to the bridge configured on the cards.

  12. Proceed to the appropriate procedure   

    1. Commission the TDM I/O Card with the DSC SWe in the MA-RMS Server.

    2. Access the TDM I/O Card with no DSC SWe in the MA-RMS Server.


Verify for Testing Purposes

Use this procedure to confirm the virtual vSP2000 cards map to the correct physical HOST IO cards.

Start
  1. Plug a E1 or DS1 loopback plug into one of each of the hosts IO cards (one on HOST1 AND one on HOST2).
  2. After configuration is completed on the HOSTs and the vSP2K, you will see a port in SYNC with the loop back. Pending this, it will confirm the virtual vSP2K cards map to the correct physical HOST IO cards.


Commission the TDM I/O Card with the DSC SWe - vSP2000 in the MA-RMS Server

Prerequisites
  • Before you begin this procedure, you must have completed one of the procedures to configure the TDM I/O cards.
Start

  1. If the DSC SWe - vSP2000 is within the MA-RMS server, use the following procedure to commission the TDM I/O card.

    Tip

    Once the TDM is commissioned, you can access the cards from within the DSC SWe - vSP2000 by SSH into slot 4 or 5 using the internal IP address 192.168.240.4 or 192.168.240.5, respectively.

  2. From the Main Menu, select System, and press ENTER.

Select IO slot number (6 7 8 9) to begin upgrade
or decommissioning of individual card(s).

  9. Consider doing a complete system backup (using a USB key). For more information, refer to Complete System Backup Configuration for the DSC 8000.

Access the TDM I/O card with No DSC SWe - vSP2000 in the MA-RMS Server

Prerequisites
  • Before you begin this procedure, you must have completed one of the procedures to configure the TDM I/O Cards.
Start

  1. If there is no DSC SWe - vSP2000 within the MA-RMS server, access the cards from the server by assigning IP 192.168.240.30 to the br2-103 HA bridge.

    1. Add the IP address and the Netmask to the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br2-103 file.

      # vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br2-103
# Interface managed by CCM
DEVICE=br2-103
TYPE=Bridge
IPV6_AUTOCONF=no
ONBOOT=yes
PEERDNS=yes
USERCTL=no
HOTPLUG=no
BOOTPROTO=none
IPADDR=192.168.240.30
NETMASK=255.255.254.0

    2. Restart the network services by issuing the command.

      # service network restart

    3. Verify the IP is assigned properly.

      # ip addr show br2-103
      27: br2-103: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
link/ether 00:20:00:22:65:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.240.30/23 brd 192.168.241.255 scope global br2-103
inet6 fe80::220:ff:fe22:6500/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

    4. Ping the first TDM card

      # ping 192.168.240.4
      PING 192.168.240.4 (192.168.240.30) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.240.30: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=10.1 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.240.30: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.752 ms
^C
--- 192.168.240.4 ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1294ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.752/5.455/10.158/4.703 ms
      Tip

      The Ping test can be repeated for any other TDM card within the same network.

Configure the MTP2 SCTP Server Primary IP

Prerequisites
  • Before you begin this procedure, you must have completed one of the procedures to configure the TDM I/O cards
Start
  1. In the Configuration Management UI (CMU), under Applications, select Hardware. 
  2. Select the IO card.
  3. Under IO Manager selection, select the Card Type.
  4. Under the SCTP Server selection, click ATM.

  5. Populate the Primary IP. For example, 192.168.240.4 

    Use the base IP of 192.168.240 plus x = the slot position of the IO card.

    For example, 192.168.240.4 for an IO in slot 4.

  6. Click Continue. 

  7. Repeat steps 4-6 for TDM.
