Newbie- Need help setting up TN2302 Medpro board

[novwin]

Hi all-

I have just recently been drafted into administering an Avaya switch and I'm learning as I go...

I am trying to setup a TN2302 IP Media Processor board but I can't find any information on how to use it/configure it. I've been able to figure out how to assign it an IP address, configure it's node-name, and enable the interface so I can ping it both from my laptop and CLAN cards but I don't know what to do next.

I want to be able to use it to deliver VoIP for 5.1 IP softphones but I can't seem to get it assigned to a signaling group (when I try to add a new signaling group it only lets me select the CLAN though I do see the Medpro board as an option). I've verified I have IP Agent licenses, etc. but I know I'm missing something here and I can't find a doc or something else to help figure it out.

I can use the softphone over the CLAN to log into a plugged in IP Phone remotely but I have zero idea what to do with the TN2302 and I really want to be able to use a softphone without tying it to a physical extension.

Any help, documents you can point me to, etc. would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks- David

The MedPro board (TN2302) is dynamically allocated by the Definity. Other than defining it on the node-names and ip-interface form, that's it. There are 64 Digital Signal Processors (DSP) on the board that get used to convert from TDM to IP. If you are using compression you use 2 DSPs per call.

Huh, I was sort of expecting that since I had to give it an IP address I'd have to point my softphone to it as well as my signal group. Anyone have a good reference for setting up a softphone that doesn't tie back to a physical extension?

The attached link will take you to the Avaya documentation page for IP SoftPhone.

The Softphone actual logins into the Clan IP address. The ip call is made out from the Medpro IP. When you set up the Softphone it will ask for the Call Server ip addy...give it the Clan ip.

In the future everything will work...
