IPRC Programming
APPENDICES
B. IPRC PROGRAMMING
NOTE: Prior to v9.0, the 8.x firmware IPRC could be used for private networking or for IP
devices, as determined by the configuration chosen in DB Studio. The v9.0 and later firmware
IPRC supports both private networking and IP devices on the same card.
ALSO: System software v9.0 and later provides a networking wizard to simplify the required
programming for private networking. See page 6-87 for more information about the networking
wizard.
4.5 The IPRC relies on a unique numbering plan to make connections across the network.
This means that you must assign each IPRC in the network a unique extension that the other
IPRCs must be able to recognize. For this reason, Inter-Tel strongly suggests that you use the
P6XXY numbering convention, where XX is the node number and Y is the IPRC number. For
example, if the IPRC is the second IPRC on node 1, the extension number would be P6012. It
is also recommended that you complete the IP Networking Planning Sheet (available at the end
of this appendix) before you begin programming the IPRC. If you do not follow a numbering
convention and identify the extensions before you program the IPRCs, it will be difficult to
successfully set up your network. (See page A-13 for a programming example.)
4.6 If using an IPRC for private IP networking, follow the guidelines below. See the refer-
ence pages for details.
NOTE: IP Networking Planning sheets are included at the end of this section for your conve-
nience.
1.
Program the equipment chassis slot where the IPRC is installed as an IPRC (see page 6-
145).
2. Choose a “P6XXY” extension where XX is the node number where the IPRC resides
and Y is the IPRC number.
NOTE: The extension you assign to each IPRC must reflect the node where the IPRC
resides. If it does not, it will be difficult to establish the IP connections between IPRCs
on a multi-node system. This limits the number of IPRCs configured for private network-
ing within a private network to 1000.
3.
Program the Voice Resources: Program one or more voice resources as a Networking
VoIP resource (see page 6-146).
NOTE: While in local mode, DB Programming allows you to program up to 32 voice
resources, regardless of the number of resources actually installed or the PAL configu-
ration. The system ignores programming for voice resources rendered invalid by the
PAL configuration.
4.
Program the IP Connection: The IPRC screen contains a link to the IPRC’s IP con-
nection. Program the IP connection as described on page 6-172. Whenever the system
creates an IP connection, the system broadcasts the IP information to the other nodes as
a database update, and the new IP connection becomes an off-node device on the other
nodes (provided the remote node does not block the database change such as when a
DB Programming session is active on the remote node).
