    Tip
    titleTip

    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.

 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 

    Spacevars
    0model1
     is within the MA-RMS server, use the following procedure to commission the TDM I/O card.

    Tip
    titleTip

    Once the TDM is commissioned, you can access the cards from within the

    Spacevars
    0model1
    by SSH into slot 4 or 5 using the internal IP address 192.168.240.4 or 192.168.240.5, respectively.

 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 

    Spacevars
    0model1
     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.

      Code Block
      # vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br2-103

    2. Restart the network services by issuing the command.

      Code Block
      # service network restart


    3. Verify the IP is assigned properly.

      Code Block
      # ip addr show br2-103

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 

    Info

    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
