Transmit IP trunk card configuration data from TM 3.1 to the IP trunk cards

263

the IP trunk card from the system interface, see

From TM 3.1, transmit the NODE PROPERTY, CARD PROPERTY,
and Dialing Plan to the active leader and to all disabled IP trunk
cards. This action is successful to Leader 0, but fails to Leader 1, as
Leader 1 does not yet have an IP address.

Remove Leader 1 from the system backplane.

Reboot Leader 0.

When Leader 0 is fully rebooted, push Leader 1 back into position.

Leader 1 sends a BOOTP request to Leader 0. Leader 0 then sends
a message back to Leader 1 which contains Leader 1’s IP address.
Leader 1 reboots itself. Leader 1 then comes back as a BLDR.
Depending on the network and configuration, Leader 1 can reboot
itself up to 3 times.

Enable the Leader 0 in the system interface.

Transmit the Card Property and Dialing Plan (but not NODE
Property) to Leader 1 from TM 3.1. Reboot Leader 1 again.

When fully rebooted, enable Leader 1. If D-channel messaging is
enabled, all the channels associated with this card give a Restart
message.

All channels should now be IDLE on the LDR and BLDR in the
system.

If both IP trunk cards become the LDR, then a network problem has
occurred, as BLDR is not receiving/responding to a PING message.
To verify, connect the TLAN network interface of both IP trunk cards
to a basic hub and reboot the card. The IP trunk card must be BLDR.
The LDR pings from the TLAN Node IP address to BLDR almost
continuously. The Link light is continuously lit on the front of the IP
trunk card. The traffic light blinks when the Ping message is sent
(with no other traffic active on the cards). The lights on the front of
an IP trunk card represent the state of the TLAN network interface.

Verify that the IP trunk cards are disabled in LD 32 before transmitting
card properties.
