How can I figure out what CLAN I'm using...? 3

[98Converter]

I'm starting to deploy 4620's (S8700), and we have IP Trunking also in-service. I have a CMS (R12) and Intuity (R5) & 4 CLAN boards. I want to make sure I'm not using the CMS or Intuity CLANs for the IP phones/trunks.

Plus I'm going to try and build a second IP Trunk, and I can't use the same CLANs that are used on our 1st IP trunk...

Hope this isn't too confusing.

Thanks,
Chris

list ip-interface" should identify what you are looking for..

Ya I did that... Avaya labeled them somewhat vaquely though.

CLAN1
CLAN2
CLAN3
CLAN4

Thanks,
Chris

Look at the net regions. We had the same issue. Avaya set them all up as 1 and we realized our IP phones were "seeing" and using all of them including audix and cms. After assigning the ones used for the IP phones to their own net region, the problem went away.

Also, you can go to a phone and hit the hold button, then addr# using the keypad. Scroll through and you'll see which clan IP address that phone is currently using. Your phones may be using various clans.

Each C-LAN board should have an associated Data Module. Do a 'list data-module' and look for the ones with type 'ethernet'. If you do a 'display data module xxxx' you should see a link number assigned to each C-LAN. If you do a 'display communications-interface processor-channel' you will find the link used for CMS (mis) and Intuity (audix).

By doing a 'status link x' you can see the activity associated with each C-LAN board.

You made a statement that you cannot use a C-LAN board for more than one Trunk Group. Yes, you can. Each of the remote switches has to be defined in the 'node-names' table. When you build the H.323 signaling group you use the node-name of your C-LAN board in the 'Near-end Node Name' field and the remote C-LAN in the 'Far-end Node Name' field.

Great - Thanks guys!

I'll take a look.

yes, the above method will show what is used for audix and cms, but I don't think that was the question (probably already knows that based on IP). I think we were trying to determine was if the IP phones are also using the same clans as audix or cms and I think they will be if all clans are in the same net region.

If you are using DHCP to assign IP addresses to your stations you can specify the addresses of the C-LAN boards to use within the TFTP setup.

The issue we had was that we assigned 1 CLAN to the DHCP server for hardphones. The PBX still knew there were others and it seemed to have no effect on what clan a hardphone would grab. hardcoding the clan address in IP softphone, we were able to determine the softphone still DID NOT always utilize the clan IP address entered as the "call server". The only way to make the hardphones/softphones not register to certain clans (like ones also used for audix/cms) is to make sure no other clans other than ones you want used for phones are in the same net region as the one(s) specified via your DHCP, static, or IPsoftphone configurations.

If you access the S8700 via the web interface, and select configure server/configure IP services, I believe that your VoIP CLANS are listed at the bottom of the screen, under the heading Corporate LAN Interface. This will give you the IP address(es) of the CLAN boards that your IP phones can/are using.

if you do a list registered-ip-stations you can see to what clan board the ip phones are connected to. on the other hand it would be as much easy to check the dhcp string

You can also try "status clan-usage" to determine the socket usage of your clans.

All of this information can be managed with DHCP.
In your Scope set option 176. This is the option for the IP Phones.

We are using Vlan 100 for our voice Vlan. This is what it looks like.

MCIPADD=192.168.100.35,192.168.100.37,MCPORT=1719,TFTPSRVR=192.168.100.5,L2Q=1,L2QVLAN=100,vlantest=0

The first IP address is the Primary Clan. The second is the secondary Clan, MCPort is the Port that the phones communicate. TFTP is obvious The rest has to do with if you have more then one vlan. If your Priamary Scope hands out a non-voice vlan then this tells the phone which vlan to be a member of, and then it gose back and picks up an ip address for that vlan. The last part, Vlan Test=0 tells the phone to indefenitly look for an ip address on the Voice Vlan. in our case it is vlan 100

Hope this helps,

This is what I get when I try to add another H.323 sig group. My other sig group is identical, besides of course the Trunk-group

"Near-end IP Address/Near-end Listen Port/Far-end IP Address combination in use"

This is my config:
SIGNALING GROUP

Group Number: 9 Group Type: h.323
Remote Office? n Max number of NCA TSC: 24
SBS? n Max number of CA TSC: 0
Trunk Group for NCA TSC:
Trunk Group for Channel Selection: 9
Supplementary Service Protocol: a Network Call Transfer? n


Near-end Node Name: BOSCLAN2 Far-end Node Name: clan03
Near-end Listen Port: 1720 Far-end Listen Port: 1720
Far-end Network Region: 1
LRQ Required? n Calls Share IP Signaling Connection? n
RRQ Required? n
Bypass If IP Threshold Exceeded? n

DTMF over IP: out-of-band Direct IP-IP Audio Connections? y
