This procedure is required only for Definity G3csi switches. 
Use the Maintenance-Related System Parameters form to add a second 
packet interface to the G3csi switch. This is required for CMS computer 
connectivity.

Field Definition
Packet Intf2 Enter y to add a second packet interface.
Bus Bridge Enter the equipment location of the CLAN 
circuit pack that does the bus bridge 
functionality when the packet bus is 
activated. This must be administered for the 
CLAN to work.
Inter-Board Link Timeslots — The total number of timeslots allocated 
cannot be greater than 11.
Inter-Board Link 
Timeslot Pt0Enter the number of timeslots (1-9) used by 
this port. Port 0 carries the bulk of messaging 
traffic between the switch and the CMS. The 
default of 6 should be adequate, but can be 
increased (if needed) to improve traffic flow.
Inter-Board Link 
Timeslot Pt1Enter the number of timeslots (1-3) used by 
this port. Port 1 is a low traffic port and 
should always be set to 1.
Inter-Board Link 
Timeslot Pt2Enter the number of timeslots (1-3) used by 
this port. Port 2 is a low traffic port and 
should always be set to 1.

Adding Node 
Names and IP 
Addresses
4
For the HA option, assign two switch node names and two CMS 
computer node names. Use Pages 2 through 6 of the Node Names form 
to assign the name and IP address of the CMS computers and all 
switches networked with the CMS computer. 
Page 1 of the Node Names form is reserved for Intuity™ 
administration.

Field Definition
Name Enter the host name of the CMS computer, 
any switches that are networked with the 
CMS computer, and any gateway hosts used 
in the network. The node names can be 
entered in any order. The names are 
displayed in alphabetical order the next time 
the form is displayed. The default node 
name entry is display-only and is not used for 
this application.
For consistency, use the CMS computer’s 
host name as defined during the CMS Setup 
procedure. See 
CentreVu® CMS Software 
Installation and Setup
 for more information.
These names are also used in the IP 
interfaces, data module, IP routing, and other 
forms. If you change the node name in this 
form, it is automatically updated on the other 
forms.
Note: Do not use special characters in the 
node name. Special characters are not 
allowed in the /etc/hosts file on the CMS 
computer.
IP Address Enter the IP address of the CMS computer, 
the switches, and any required gateways.
CAUTION: Plan out the network before you 
assign any IP addresses. Any future changes 
that require a change to IP addresses will 
cause a service disruption.

Adding a C-LAN IP 
Interface 
4
Use the IP Interfaces form to assign a C-LAN circuit pack as an IP 
interface. With the High Availability option, you assign two separate C-
LAN IP interfaces.
This form is new for DEFINITY R8 and later. Several of the fields on 
this form were previously on the Data Module form in 
DEFINITY R7.

Field Definition
Network regions are 
interconnectedEnter n. This application is not used for 
C-LAN.
Enabled Enter y to enable the C-LAN IP interface. 
After initial administration, you must disable 
the interface before you make any changes.
Typ e E n t e r C-LAN.
Slot Enter the equipment location of the C-LAN 
circuit pack. 
Code/Sfx This is a display-only field that shows the 
designation number of the circuit pack 
installed in the specified slot.
Node Name Enter the switch node name assigned on 
Pages 2 through 6 of the Node Names form. 
In this example, enter switchhost. The 
same node name cannot be assigned to two 
different IP interfaces.
Subnet Mask Identifies which portion of an IP address is a 
network address and which is a host 
identifier. Use the default entry, or check with 
the LAN administrator on site if connecting 
through the customer’s LAN.
Gateway Address If the application goes to points off the 
subnet, a Gateway Address of the router is 
required; if the switch and the CMS server 
are on the same subnet, a Gateway address 
if not required. 
If required, enter the address of a network 
node that will serve as the default gateway 
for the IP interface.  I
f using ethernet only, 
and a Gateway Address is administered, no 
IP routes are required.
Net Rgn For a C-LAN IP interface, use 1.

Adding an Ethernet 
Data Module 
4
Use the Data Module form to assign an ethernet data module (this is a 
different version of the form than that used for 
DEFINITY R7). With the 
High Availability option, you assign two ethernet data modules.
add data-module 2000  Page  1 of  1
DATA MODULE
Data Extension: 2000  Name: ethernet data module BCC: 2
Type: ethernet
Port: 01A0317
Link: 8
Network uses 1’s for Broadcast Address? y
Field Definition
Data Extension Enter an unassigned extension number.
Ty p e E nt e r ethernet.
Port Enter the equipment location of the C-LAN 
circuit pack (TN799). For the ethernet link, 
always use circuit 17 (for example, 
01A0317).
Link Enter a TCP/IP link number (1-25 for csi/si, 
1-33 for r). This entry is also used on the 
Processor Channel form.
Name Enter a name for the data module. This name 
will display when you list the assigned data 
modules.
BCC A display-only field.
Network uses 1’s for 
Broadcast AddressThis sets the host portion of the IP address to 
0’s or 1’s. The default is yes (all 1’s). Use the 
default if the private network contains only 
DEFINITY switches and adjuncts. Enter n 
only if the network includes non-DEFINITY 
switches that use the 0’s method of forming 
broadcast addresses.

attributes. With the High Availability option, you will assign two separate 
processor channels.

Interface Link Enter the TCP/IP link number used on the 
ethernet data module form. For this series of 
examples, link 8 was used.
Interface Chan Enter the TCP channel number 
(5000-64500). The default for CMS is 5001 
and is defined during CMS setup (see 19
 
Page 2-33
).
Destination Node Enter the node name of the CMS computer 
as assigned on the Node Names form. In 
these examples, cmshost is used.
Destination Port Use the default of 0.
Session Local/
Session RemoteAlthough not strictly required, the standard 
CMS provisioning practice is to set the local 
and remote port assignments equal to the  
processor channel assignment for each 
connection.
Mach ID Not used for CMS.

Adding IP Routing 4Use the IP Routing form to set up the IP route(s) from the switch to the 
CMS computer. This is required when:
•the switch and the CMS computer are on different subnets, or
•when a Gateway Address is not administered for the C-LAN IP 
interface.
Note:
LAN configurations that require IP routing are not recommended for 
use with the HA option.
The following example shows an IP route. This route shows how you get 
from a gateway (for example, a router) to a network.
