Connecting the Wave IP 2500 Server to your LAN
This section describes how to connect the Wave IP 2500 Server to your LAN using a standard
Ethernet cable.
Note:
The cabling for your LAN should be installed by a network cabling professional before
the arrival of the Wave Server.
About the Ethernet ports on the Wave IP 2500 Server
There are 2 Ethernet ports located on the front of the ISC1, labeled ENET 1 and ENET 2.
Important:
ENET 1 and ENET 2 are connected to an embedded switch in the ISC1 which does
not currently support the Spanning Tree algorithm. Consequently,
ENET 1 and ENET 2 must
not both be simultaneously connected to another switch on your network.
Connecting both
Ethernet ports to a switch on your network creates a loop that makes the embedded switch
inoperable, and the Wave Server will be cut off from your network.
•
ENET 1 is the Wave Server’s primary interface and under normal conditions it is the
only
interface that should be connected to your network
. You use ENET 1 to connect the Wave
Server to your network to make Wave ISM functionality available to a system
administrator on the network, for example access to the Global Administrator
Management Console, ViewPoint, VoIP station and trunk resources, and so forth.
•
ENET 2 should only be used in the following special circumstances:
•
To allow an onsite technical support representative to directly connect the
administrator PC to the Wave Server, to avoid disconnecting the Wave Server’s
normal network connection.
Important:
In this scenario, the technician’s laptop MUST be connected to ENET
2, and ENET 2 must NOT be connected to the network.
ENET 1 and ENET 2 should
NEVER be connected to the same network at the same time.
•
As a backup in case ENET 1 is not functional. You can use ENET 2 to connect the
Wave Server to your network,
as long as ENET 1 is not used for the same purpose
.
•
For troubleshooting or diagnostic purposes, for example internal packet sniffing.
All packets exchanged between the Vertical Application Module (VAM) and the
embedded processor are copied to ENET 2 for diagnostic purposes. (Note that
packet copying does not significantly add to network traffic.)
