Voice Gateway Media Card configuration

If a Media Card 32-port card, a Media Card 8-port card, or an ITG-P 24-port
card is running IP Line 4.5 software, it is known as a Voice Gateway Media
Card.

The Voice Gateway Media Card plugs into the Small System’s main, Fiber
or IP Expansion Cabinet or Chassis. The Voice Gateway Media Card
communicates with the Small System Controller (SSC) card over the ELAN
using 10BaseT connectivity.

The Voice Gateway Media Card is administered using multiple management
interfaces including:

•

IP Line 4.5, a Graphical User Interface (GUI) provided by Optivity
Telephony Manager (OTM) 2.2

•

Command Line Interface (CLI)

•

administration and maintenance overlays

•

Web browser interface provided by Element Manager

Refer to IP Line Fundamentals (NN43001-500) for more information about
the Voice Gateway Media Cards and the IP Line application.

Voice Gateway Media Card configuration on the Small System

The steps used to install a Voice Gateway Media Card on the Small System
are similar to those for any Meridian 1 or CS 1000M Large System. In
addition to the procedures listed below follow the procedures provided
in IP Line Fundamentals (NN43001-500) and IP Phone Fundamentals
(NN43001-368). Where installation differs in the Small System’s IP
Expansion Cabinets or Chassis, the details are provided in the following
procedures. Certain special considerations apply for a survivable Small
System. Refer to

"Voice Gateway Media Cards in survivable Small Systems"

(page 318)

1. Configure the Voice Gateway Media Card on the main, Fiber or IP

Expansion Cabinets or Chassis. Follow

Procedure 50 "Configuring the

ELAN network interface IP address for the Small System active ELNK
Ethernet interfac" (page 265)

and

Procedure 51 "Configuring the ELAN

interfac" (page 266)

2. Continue with the procedures in IP Line Fundamentals (NN43001-500)

and IP Phone Fundamentals (NN43001-368) for configuring IP Line for
CS 1000M and Meridian 1 systems, as follows:
