2.3 Initialization
2.3.1 eMG Initialization
The system should be initialized before starting the configuration to assure a known starting point
and automatically register installed boards. Also, if the Nation Code requires modification, the
system will be initialized in the process so as to establish tones and gains appropriate for the
region. You can initialize the system using the Initialization switch (Dip-switch SW1, pole-2) in the
KSU or using the software Initialization PGM 450. Note the former must be used to change the
Nation Code as detailed section 3.3.1.
Basic Power-Up Routine
When the KSU power switch is turned On or the KSU Reset button is pressed with power ON, the
system will initiate the “Power-up” routine. During the Power-Up routine the system checks the
Initialization switch and, if the switch is in the Off position, the system will perform the basic
Power-up routine; clear all scratch-pad memory, load run-time programs, establish
communications with each registered Interface board, Function board, iPECS IP Phone and LDP
Phone, send Restart commands and load appropriate settings to the boards and terminals. The
KSU also will attempt to communicate and register the EKSU. If a registered board or terminal
does not respond after several attempts, the system places the device in an out-of-service mode
but maintains the configuration of the device. Once the Power-up routine is complete, the system
will conduct normal operations.
Registration of Boards
If the Initialization switch is in the ON position, in addition to the Power-Up routine, the system will
perform the full Initialization procedure. During initialization, the system attempts to communicate
with the board in each Slot, starting with Slot 1 and progressing sequentially through the slots, to
determine the installed equipment. If the board is installed, the Slot number (“Sequence Number”)
is registered, an “Order number” is determined and the MPB MAC and IP address are assigned.
Using “Order number”, which is the order that devices of the same type (CO/IP Line, Station, VSF
device, etc.) register, the system assigns the Station numbers and CO/IP Line numbers.
An exception to the above is the MAC and IP address of the VOIB which covers the VoIP
channels on the VVMU. The VOIB has a separate MAC address and the IP address is assigned
from the system. Note this IP address can be modified at a later time.
Once the system is operational and the database configured, the system can be expanded
manually by registering the optional boards as detailed in PGM 235, Registration Table.
