MedPro Board Installation help

[gobuffs]

I recently purchased a media processing board TN2302 Vintage 3. I was given 5 ip soft phone licenses and was trying to configure the board. I am looking for assistance if anyone out there has been able to make this work.

I got this working the other day on our switch. Do you already have a CLAN card to work in conjunction with the MEDPRO board? Is it already configured?

Let me know and I'll jot down some instructions for you.

 

[gobuffs]

Yes I do have a CLAN board.

Thanks for your help

if you just need help enabling the board do this

1. change node-name ip
specify the ip to use
2. change ip-interface
specify the baord pareamenters and make sure its in the same region as your clan
3. administer the ip-network-region
4. administer the ip-codec-set

this is the very basics on getting it up and working, thats if you already have a clan that is functional..

Providing your CLAN is already configured properly, and you can successfully ping it from a workstation on your LAN, this is all you should need to do:

1) Name your MEDPRO board and assign IP address)
'change node-names ip'

2) Verify the MEDPRO appears in ethernet options
'change ethernet-options'

ETHERNET OPTIONS
Enable
Eth Pt Type Slot Code Sfx Auto Speed Duplex
y C-LAN 01A09 TN799 D n 100Mbps Full
y C-LAN 01A10 TN799 D n 100Mbps Full
y C-LAN 01A06 TN799 D n 100Mbps Full
y MEDPRO 01B05 TN2302 y

3) Configure your MEDPRO under IP Interfaces
'change ip-interfaces'
(You will need to configure yours specifically for your LAN of course)

Net
ON Type Slot Code Sfx Node Name Subnet Mask Gateway Address Rgn VLAN
y C-LAN 01A09 TN799 D CLAN-PBX2Vmail 255.255.0 .0 192.168.1 .1 1 n
y C-LAN 01A10 TN799 D CLAN-PBXExtra 255.255.0 .0 192.168.1 .1 1 n
y C-LAN 01A06 TN799 D CLAN-PBX-CLAN3 255.255.255.0 192.168.1 .1 1 n
y MEDPRO 01B05 TN2302 IP-PROCESSOR1 255.255.0 .0 192.168.1 .1 1 n


As long as your CLAN can be pinged, this is all you should need to do to configure the MEDPRO. Let me know if you run into any problems.

Best regards,
Jason

Thanks for your help Buckweet. I made the changes, gave the board an ip address and I have a functional CLAN board. Guess i need to next install the Avaya ip softphone on a pc and go from there. Any other info I need to make this test a good one?

Thanks.

 

[BuckWeet]

FYI if you're looking at softphone, I recommend the USB plantronics headsets, very good sound quality. especially over these cruddy soundcards that are in PC's today..

Thank you hayw00d. I followed your's and buckweet's directios and the board is enabled. I now would love to know how the IP soft phone should be configured. I guess im a bit lost here.

 

[hayw00d]

You'll have to create your softphone station of course.

Page 1 will need the following info:
Port: IP
Sec
IP SoftPhone? y
Security code: (this will be your password)

Page 2 will need the following:
Multimedia Mode: enhanced

After you install the software, be sure to configure it to RoadWarrior mode. The security code you set above will be your password for that station.

Regards,
Jason

Any particular version I should be using? I currently have version 4.1.3.6

 

[gobuffs]

The other question I have is, the medpro board able to initiate SIP protocol? If so, I have a bunch of the Cisco 7410 IP phones that we would love to utilize!

 

[hayw00d]

I'm running 4.1.3.28. There is a service pack available in the downloads area on the Avaya site. I'm not sure about your other question - hopefully someone else can shed some light on it.

Best regards,
Jason

 

[BuckWeet]

NO, cisco phones (with the SIP firmware) do not work on avaya yet. avaya is still pretty proprietary on their IP

 

[gobuffs]

Thank you both for your help. I guess I am going to need more help with the IP soft phone set up. If you know of anyone that might be able to help me, I would appreciate it!

Thanks again.
