2.3.2.2 Replacement Module Registration
Under certain situations, it is necessary to force the registration of gateway modules and
terminals specifically when an UCP, gateway Module or iPECS Terminal is replaced. When
replacing a UCP module, gateway Modules and iPECS terminals must be forced to register with
the new system. With Module or terminal replacement, the system must recognize the
“replacement” status to transfer the existing database values.
When replacing a UCP, the local Web interface is used to access the system. The user may
update the system database using the database downloaded from the previous UCP memory.
Using the Terminal mode Command Line interface (“maint > reset ip”), the user provides the new
UCP with the IP address of the previous UCP, and issues the Register command. The new
system will then send a Uni-cast Register command to each gateway Module and iPECS terminal
registered to the previous system. This Register command will include the previous system IP
address. These commands are repeated several times only. As communication is established,
the new UCP will update the settings of the gateway Modules and iPECS terminals appropriately.
When the gateway Modules and terminals respond, they are registered to the new system.
When replacing a gateway Module, use PGM 103 “Device IP Plan” in Web admin to change the
service mode to “Out of Service”, change the MAC information for the new module, change the
service mode to in-service and install the new gateway Module.
When replacing an iPECS terminal, using PGM 103 “Device IP Plan” in Web admin change the
service mode to “Out of Service” change the MAC information for the new iPECS terminal,
change the service state to in-service, and install the new terminal.
