4.8. Configuring DM3 IPLink Network Interface Connector

To configure the Network Interface Connector (NIC) for DM3 IPLink applications, perform the following procedure:

1. Double-click the DM3 IPLink board's entry in the DCM Main Window and then click the Network property sheet.
2. Set the following parameters on the Network property sheet as described below.

   Note: All parameters on the Network property sheet must be filled in for successful functioning of the DM3 IPLink board.

   If any parameter setting is incorrect, an IPTCONF.EXE error may occur.

   • IPAddress: Specify the IP address to be assigned to the NIC on the DM/IPLink-T1_NIC or DM/IPLink-E1_NIC. Use the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (for example, 146.152.187.42).

     Incoming calls to this DM3 IPLink board should be directed to the IP address specified by this parameter.

     Note: Each DM/IPLink-T1_NIC or DM/IPLink-E1_NIC board in the system must have a unique IPAddress parameter setting.

   • SubnetMask: Set this parameter to the IP address where Ethernet packets are to be sent (and according to site IP procedures) Use the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, for example, 255.255.255.10. This parameter determines whether Ethernet packets are sent directly to a particular address or sent to a default router.
   • TargetName: Set this parameter to the name of the NIC on the DM/IPLink-T1_NIC or DM/IPLink-E1_NIC. You can choose any name.

     Note: Although the DM/IPLink-T1_NIC and DM/IPLink-E1_NIC boards provide their own NIC functionality, a third-party NIC installed in the same host is required. The Intel Dialogic System Software employs this additional NIC to verify the integrity of the built-in NIC. This verification is performed automatically every time you start the Intel Dialogic System.

   • HostName: Specify the name of the host machine.
   • UserName: Specify any name with valid log-in access to the host machine named using the HostName parameter.
   • GatewayIPAddress: Set this parameter to the IP address of the default router for the Ethernet interface using the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx format.
3. Click the Apply and then the OK button to set the parameters and return to the DCM Main Window.
4. Repeat this procedure for each DM3 IPLink board in your system as required.

At this point, you are finished with the configuration process unless you need to modify other DCM property sheet parameters or modify the FCD parameters.
