Configuring TCP/IP

Before you begin, ensure that the NPUM Voicemail Networking software blade is installed.

Configure NP Net TCP/IP

This procedure describes how to configure the low-level NP Net TCP/IP parameters.

  1. From the Main Menu, select (S) System Maintenance, (R) Reconfiguration, (R) Reconfigure System, (G) Offline Menu and then (N) NP Net TCP/IP Menu.

  2. Select (H) Host Number to configure and enter the module number on which to configure NP Net TCP/IP. The module must contain an Ethernet card.

  3. Select (I) Ethernet Card Configuration and enter the number (1-2) of an enabled Ethernet card in the module. You can only configure NP Net TCP/IP on one module of a multi-module NP-UM system.

  4. Select (N) System Node Name and enter the name (1-15 characters) of the node.

  5. Select (M) System Network message limit and set the maximum number of minutes (1-99) for a network message. The local node will reject messages that exceed this limit.

  6. Select (R) Receive Circuits and enter the number (2-9) of receive circuits to be used by NP Net. The number of circuits determines the throughput.

  7. Select (S) Send Circuits and enter the number (2-9) of send circuits to be used by NP Net. You can configure a node with more of one type of circuit than the other, if needed.

  8. Select (T) System Local Node Number and enter the number (1 - 8191) of the local node used by NP Net for message routing.

  9. Exit to the NuPoint Voice Configuration Main Menu to save your changes.

  10. When you configure NP Net TCP/IP for the first time, you must reboot before you activate the configuration.
