Connectivity Configuration' on page 877. It is recommended that you read this chapter
to become familiar with the terminology used, as well as general principles of the
Mediant 8000 network configuration, prior to reviewing (and implementing) the
examples described in this appendix.
26.1 Establishing Connectivity with the EMS Server
IP network configuration is a relatively complicated task that is ideally performed via
the EMS GUI. Therefore, prior to starting the IP network configuration, the connectivity
between the Mediant 8000 and the EMS server should be established as described
below.
Note: If the connection between the Mediant 8000 and the EMS server is already
established (e.g. after the initial Mediant 8000 installation), proceed to the next
section.
To establish connectivity between the Mediant 8000 and the EMS server, you may
need to reset both Ethernet Switch (ES) boards by performing lock and unlock
maintenance actions on them. The ES board is reset as part of the unlock action and
may take up to 10 minutes till it completes the reset and returns to service.
Lock/unlock actions must be performed on ES boards sequentially (one at a time) in
the following order:

Lock the ES boards in both Slot 9 and 19

Unlock the ES board in Slot 9 and wait till it completes the restart and returns to
service.

Unlock the ES board in Slot 19 and wait till it completes the restart and returns to
service.
 To establish connectivity between Mediant 8000 and EMS Server:
1. Connect the Mediant 8000 to the OAM subnet only (using a single network
interface) and configure basic IP network parameters of SC boards. See
'Connecting to the IP Network' on page 116 for details.
2. Connect to the Mediant 8000 CLI interface and run the tools ems command to
configure connectivity between the Media Gateway and the EMS server. See
'Configuring Connectivity between the Media Gateway and the EMS Server' on
page 171 for details.
3. Open the EMS GUI and add the Media Gateway to the MG Tree. If a connection
is established and the Mediant 8000 status screen is properly displayed in the
EMS, proceed to the next section.
4. Connect to the CLI interface on the Active SC board (typically located in Slot 1).
Use the RS-232 serial console if IP connectivity with the Mediant 8000 is
unavailable. For more information, seeFor more information, see Section Section
'Connecting to the CLI via an RS-232 Serial Console' on page 109.
