3300ICP MXE Second E2T Card

[rdpayne]

I've got 2 MXe's that we've installed a second E2T controller card. For some reason we can't determine, we are still showing a major alarm and getting a 100% failure of the E2T? We double checked our board and the connections and everything looks good? Has anyone seen this before? Thanks.

As at a guess your newly installed E2T card has not received an IP address form the DHCP server. (assuminig you have a DHCP server enabled).

If you look in the maintenance and diagnostics -> System hardware Profile -> System hardware compute cards you will beable to see whether your E2T card has an IP Address.

If your card has no IP address then thats why you have the major alarm and you will need to enable DHCP with options 66 and 67 to enable the E2T to assign an IP address once the card has an IP address you can secure telnet to this IP address but use port 2007, you will be connected to the E2T card and you can assign a static IP address and change the flag to 0x0 so it will never look for DHCP again.

Hope this helps.

Can I do that during the boot process, hitting space, then C for the config?

Also, the I am continuing to get a MIPS error, and after a certain number of keep alives sent the L2 ports, the system reboots. Do I need to disable the 2 switch ports? Thanks.

To get to the "port" of the embedded E2T on a MXe you need to bring the controller up (even if it has alarms) and use the mitel "secure telnet" application and connect to the MXe's RTC IP on port.....2007? Maybe it's 2008. Something like that, that will actually pass you through to the E2T card. It's a new process on the MXe since there's no direct connection available to the card. Once on the card type bootChange to change the boot line parameters.

That was it. Now I've got it a static address. Thanks again for the help..

If you look at the thread i put for you I had told you your problem and that secure telnetting to port 2007 would solve your issues.

If it's not getting an address, you can't telnet to it (obviously). Above is how you assign a static address to the E2T (on a MXe) via the RTC's ip.
