178 RLC Installation and Administration Guide
Configuring the RLC Standard 4.0
Understanding the IP interface
To operate as a node on the IP network, the following elements must be
configured on the RLC:
„
an IP address
„
a subnet mask
„
the default gateway
These items provide the network connection between the RLC, an
administration terminal, and the remote site to allow the following to take place:
„
Voice traffic is routed over the IP network between the RLC and the remote
site.
„
An administrator can use a PC located anywhere on the network to connect
with any RLC or Remote Gateway 9100 Series unit on the network.
Once connected, you can view or work with the system configuration.
Note: To do this, the Configuration Manager software must be installed on
that PC.
In addition to the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway mentioned
above, you can also assign an IP address to the management port on the RLC.
Once you assign this IP address, you can use the PBX administration PC to log
on to and administer the RLC through the host PBX’s internal network.
