Reusing a TN2312AP circuit pack
!
CAUTION:
If reusing TN2312AP circuit packs that have previously had a static address programmed,
you must erase the existing IP address before programming another one. Failure to do this
may result in serious network problems for the customer. Use the following procedure to
erase an existing IP address assignment:
1 Plug the TN2312 into the appropriate slot in the media gateway or if already plugged in,
reseat it (unplug and plug in).
2 While the letters I P are flashing on the LED display (5 seconds), press the recessed
pushbutton on the faceplate.
3 The TN2312 is now ready for a new static IP address.
