Table 4-1 Configuration Parameters for Unified TCP/IP 
Parameter Description 
Domain Name A name for a series of nodes, attached to the node name to form a complete 
internet site name. For examples, if the domain name is centigramcorn, prepending 
the node name vmGO0 creates an internet site name of vmGOO.cen~igram.com. 
Current Module The module number where the Ethernet card is installed, from 1 to 4. The default 
Number is 1. 
Enable/Disable Specify whether the card you are configuring should be Enabled (allowed to 
Current Card operate) or Disabled (not used). If the card is disabled, MESA-Net TCP/IP and 
OneView 1.1 cannot operate either. 
Ethernet Card The type of configuration for the Ethernet card, either 1 or 3. This is fully 
Configuration 
explained in Chapter 3. 
Node Name The unique node name in the domain specified (see Domain Name, above). Valid 
characters are alphanumeric and the underscore (J character. 
Node II’ Address The II’ address of the Ethernet card being configured. It must be a unique ID on 
the network. II? addresses are in the form x.y.z. w, where each letter represents a 
number between 0 and 255. 
Subnet Mask This subdivides networks into sub-networks, for example, 255.255.255.0 is the 
default subnet mask for Class B networks. See Chapter 2 for more information. 
Network The physical network number. Network numbers 
1 and 2 are reserved for MESA- 
Number Link and Redundant MESA-Link. Therefore, all Ethernet segments start with 
network 3, which is the default. The highest allowable number is 9. 
Broadcast Refers to all nodes on the TCP/IP network. A broadcast IP address is a network 
Address ID,with all 0 bits set to 
1. For example, 129.32.255.255 is the broadcast address 
for network 129.32.0.0. -.S 
Operation Mode Sets the IF’ address to be the primary (P) or the secondary (S). The primary IP 
address is used to bind the TCP/IP stack on a module and there can be only one 
primary IP address per module. 
Current Card The slot number where the Ethernet card is installed in the module specified. 
Slot Number 
Gateway IP 
Address 
TELNET 
configuration The IP address of the Internet gateway (the machine that communicates with the 
rest of the Internet). 
Specify whether the card you are configuring should have telnet services Enabled 
(allowed to operate) or Disabled (not used).

Two items are shown on the worksheet that are not covered in Unified TCP/IP 
configuration, and those are the checkboxes for whether to install MESA-Net or 
OneView. These appear on the worksheet to remind you that once you have 
installed and configured Unified TCP/IP, you should install these options if you 
have them.

							Software installation and Configuration 
ecting the Server to ork 
Note: For complete step-by-step directions, refer to the procedures at the 
end of this chapter. 
The Ethernet card has an RJ-45 port which allows connection to unshielded twisted- 
pair (1 OBaseT) Ethernet wiring. Insert the RJ-45 plug into the RJ-45 port on the 
Ethernet card. The other end of the wire should be connected to a prewired wall 
jack or a concentrator or hub on your network. 
Verify the connection by powering on both the server and the concentrator or hub. 
Look for the green Link Integrity LED on the Ethernet card; it should be lit if the 
connection is good. The corresponding light on the concentrator should also be lit. 
If the Polarity LED is lit, then the automatic polarity correction feature is working, 
and the signal polarity is reversed. (This means the wiring had inverse polarity to 
begin with.) 
The Transmit/Receive LED is lit when the card is transmitting or receiving data 
across the network. The Collision Detection LED lights when collisions are detected 
on the network, which is a normal condition. 
Refer to Figure 4-2 for an illustration of the LEDs on the Ethernet card.

Software Insrallacion and Configuration 
If you cannot communicate over the network, you must check both the hardware 
and the software for problems. 
Check the following for hardware problems: 
Ensure the card is firmly seated in its slot and that it is receiving power. 
Check the wiring connection to both the card and the wall jack or 
concentrator. 
Check that your card is configured for an RJ-45 connector (jumpers 2 
and 3). See Chapter 3 for information on card jumpering. 
Ensure that the wiring is within the range allowed. 
Check that the green Link LED is 
lit. If it is not lit, check cabling of 
other computers connected to the same concentrator. If none are lit, 
verify that the cables and hub are operational. 
Check the red Collision LED. If it is solid red or red most of the time, 
excessive collisions are occurring on the network. Solid red can also 
indicate an incorrect cable type configuration; check the jumper settings. 
Refer to the Series G Technical Ref erence Manual for more information on 
specifications, wiring, and settings. 
ith Ping 
If the connection fails but the hardware appears functional, the board may not be 
configured properly. Contact your customer support representative. 
First, 
ping the server II’ address from another node on your network. To do this, 
enter one of the following addresses to ping: 
0 Module’s host name 
0 Module’s II’ address 
If this works (see Figure 4-3), the network is set up correctly. 
Ping each module in 
the system to verify that all TCP/IP modules can communicate with each other.

Figure 4-3 Successful Ping Results 
If this succeeds, the sofnvare is probably set correctly. 
ote: If pinging the module name does not work, ping the module II? 
address. If the II’ address works, there is a problem with name 
services on your network 
(/etc/hosts has the wrong values or DNS 
is not working properly).

VoiceMemo Release 6.OA and later 
The procedure describes how to install an optional feature with the Series 6 server 
online. Be sure the Optional Feature Diskette(s) and the Module Enable Diskette 
contain the serial number(s) for all disk(s) in the system. 
ate: The serial number on the Optional Feature diskette must match the serial 
number of the hard disk on which the software is being installed. If you 
receive an error message about an incorrect serial number, contact your 
support organization. 
If you are loading a revision support disk (RSD), do it after 
completion of this procedure. Loading the RSD first, could create an 
incorrect configuration.

Unified TCP/IP Optional Feature Installation 
Page 1 of 1 
VoiceMemo Release G.OA and later 
This procedure gives an overview of how to install, configure, and test both hardware and 
software for the Unified TCP/IP Optional Feature. This feature allows you to put your Series 6 
server on an Ethernet network and communicate with other nodes attached to the network. It 
also allows you to use Ethernet communications with the MESA-Net and OneView optional 
features.

Ensure you have everything you need to install Unified TCP/IP. You should have 
at least one Ethernet card, the Unified TCP/IP software, and the Unified TCP/IP 
software manual. You will also need any other manuals referred to in this 
procedure. 
Make a copy of the Unified TCP/IP Application worksheet and fill out one copy 
per Ethernet card. A blank copy is in the back of the reference section of this 
manual. Consult with your network administrator for IP addresses, node names, 
and other network issues. 
Install the Ethernet card(s) into the server. If you are new to installing components 
in your server, refer to the appropriate hardware manuals to familiarize yourself with 
the server’s design 
(Series G Installation and Service Manual). 
Install the Unified TCP/IP software on your server. 
Configure the Unified TCP/IP software. 
Connect the Ethernet card to the network. 
Test the hardware and software configuration. If the server responds correctly, you 
can now communicate between the server and other nodes on the network. If you 
wish to install the MESA-Net or OneView optional features to work with TCP/IP, 
install and configure them now. Refer to the approprizte manuals to do so.
