Assigning the IP Address for Cisco IPVC 3500 Series Gateways
You must assign the Cisco IPVC 3500 Series Gateway a unique IP address before you connect it to the
network. You can assign the gateway an IP address through the serial port.
You will need to gather the items listed in
Table 2-1
Requirements
Static IP address for gateway module.
IP address of the default router the
gateway module uses to communicate
over the network.
PC with available serial port and
terminal emulator software installed to
configure the IP address information.
Null EIA/TIA-232 cable (the Terminal
Cable shipped with the unit can be
used).
Administrator's Guide for Cisco IPVC 3521 BRI Gateway, Cisco IPVC 3526 PRI Gateway, and Cisco IPVC 3540 PRI Gateway
OL-7995-01
Do not force the connectors. Forcing the connection can bend or damage the pins in the
connector inside the chassis.
If you are installing the module in slots two, three, or four, and the power to the chassis is on,
the SWAP RDY LED on the module front panel turns blue when you slide the module into the
chassis as far as it will go. This means that you can secure the module safely. The LED turns off
when the handles are closed.
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure
to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic
interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling
air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers,
and rear covers are in place.
