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.
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.
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.
Perform all the procedures in this section in the order they are presented.
Prerequisites
The following information is required to complete the procedures.

Proceed to the appropriate procedure
Verify for Testing Purposes
Use this procedure to confirm the virtual vSP2000 cards map to the correct physical HOST IO cards.
Start
- Plug a E1 or DS1 loopback plug into one of each of the hosts IO cards (one on HOST1 AND one on HOST2).
- 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
If the DSC SWe - vSP2000 is within the MA-RMS server, use the following procedure to commission the TDM I/O card.
TipOnce 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.
From the Main Menu, select System, and press ENTER.

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
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.
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
Restart the network services by issuing the command.
# service network restart
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
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
TipThe 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
- In the Configuration Management UI (CMU), under Applications, select Hardware.
- Select the IO card.
- Under IO Manager selection, select the Card Type.
- Under the SCTP Server selection, click ATM.
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.
Click Continue.
- Repeat steps 4-6 for TDM.
