The Call Server field indicates to which Call Server the VCM is registered. The Call Server is responsible for
replicating relevant configuration information to the VCM. In turn the VCM will store in RAM
configuration information relevant to its functionality.
The Flash LED button will instruct the VCM’s SpliceCom LED to flash. This feature is useful when multiple
VCMs are being used on a system and will identify the physical VCM from its corresponding configuration
form.
The Product Version field will display which version of software is currently running on the VCM. For
information on upgrading this software please refer to page 288.
Setting the IP Address
When connecting a VCM to the system for the first time a DHCP server is required to give the VCM an IP
address. This address can
be viewed within the VCM’s configuration form as described above. However
once connected the Voice Compression Module can be given a static address as follows:
1
In Manager select Modules
2
Select the VCM (SpliceCompressor)
3
In the IP Address field enter the IP Address to be used by the VCM.
4
Select Update or Apply when ready.
5
Reboot the VCM (please refer to page 283 for information on how to reboot a VCM.)
A list of each module’s IP address can be viewed in Manager
Assist by selecting Sytem Utilities and then
IP Addresses.
