Set the PBX IP address
Overlay 117 is used to configure, diagnose, and maintain IP network interface addresse(s) and functions.
Typing a question mark (?) at the => prompt gives an extensive listing of all the available commands.
- Single-Core, Standard Availability (SA) systems (eg, Option 51C) have one primary IP address.
- Dual-Core, High Availability (HA) systems have a primary ACTIVE, and a secondary INACTIVE IP address.
When a core is ACTIVE, it uses the primary address; when INACTIVE (STDBY), it uses the secondary address. - High Availability (HA) systems also have a direct HSP (High Speed Pipe) connection between both cores.
The HSP is 'plug-and-play'. Once connected, it will immediately start looking for a heartbeat from the other core. - If the PBX (ELAN) connects to a WAN (eg, for remote administration), a gateway ROUTE IP must also be set.
To set the PBX (ELAN) IP address:
- Create a new host (where NAME is a label)
-
LD 117
=> NEW HOST <NAME> xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
eg: NEW HOST PRIMARY_ENET 10.10.10.5
NEW HOST SECONDARY_ENET 10.10.10.6 (HA only: IP address of the 'inactive' core) - Assign the new host to the Primary IP address
-
LD 117
=> CHG ELNK ACTIVE <NAME>
=> CHG ELNK INACTIVE <NAME>
eg: CHG ELNK ACTIVE PRIMARY_ENET
CHG ELNK INACTIVE SECONDARY_ENET (HA only) - Set the subnet mask:
-
LD 117
=> CHG MASK xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - Set the gateway:
-
LD 117
=> NEW ROUTE xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
eg: NEW ROUTE 0.0.0.0 10.10.10.254
- Update the database:
-
LD 117
=> UPDATE DBS - Enable the ELNK (you must toggle it to enable any changes):
-
LD 137
. DIS ELNK
OK
. ENL ELNK
OK - Verify the ENLK:
-
LD 137
. STAT ENLK
ENABLED - Verify the ELAN
-
LD 48
. STAT ELAN
ELAN DISABLED
. ENL ELAN
OK - Verify the host, subnet, and gateway:
-
LD 117
=> PRT HOST
:
=> PRT MASK
:
=> PRT ROUTE - Try and PING things:
-
LD 117
=> PING xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxThe Call server is on the ELAN, you cannot ping the TLAN from it.
