There is 2 kind of cabinets:
Main
Expansion

Main have to be configured in IPR
Expansion is wired to the main with backplane cables and don't have SSC.

What is your hardware configuration?
Give the contents of actual(s) cabinet(s)

I have total 3 cabinet...one 1000T main cabinet and one expansion connected with the main and cablem from the back both are working fine. I want connect one more main to the 1000T...how i can configure that??

 

[dlesap]

On existing SSC you must add the daughterboard single or dual cabinets. Up place is for cabinets 1 and 3. Down is for cabinets 2 and 4.
Connect the Ethernet cable or the fiber depending which kind of DB you have.
On the new SSC, load software from PCMCIA for CS1000S (same as 1000T) Add the daughterboard at the lower slot (Cab 2 and 4)
Connect the other side of cross connect ethernet cable or straight cable if using a switch or the fiber.

Your IPM/IPR config is false. Do it like this:
On Main Cabinet below
IPM 1 192.168.1.132 255.255.255.0 ON
IPM 2 10.0.2.1 255.255.255.0 ON

Take care the MAC@ is the one where your cable is connected to.
During software installation, add the IP@ to the new SSC when ask for it.

Then Start your main cabinet. When it's up, start the new cabinet. Light on main and expansion cabinets main turn to green... ;-)

I tried the same u tole me its not working....
I have a 1000T main its IP was 192.168.1.131 and the expansion main was 192.168.1.132( while the software installition its asked the IP i gave it) i am using the DB on 2 & 4 in Both (1000T and Main)
I gave the mac and the IP on the same which u told me pls see below...

can u advice me plsss

The IP address of Main and Remote MUST not be the same !!!!
If Main is 192.168.1.132 as you said, then change IPR with that IP.

The 1000T(core) IP was 192.168.1.131...and the expansion main was 192.168.1.132

The LAN used to connect additionnals cabinets to the Main have NOTHING to do with the ELAN..!!!

It's called SLAN by Nortel and it's totally separated from the ELAN. If you are using cross connect cables to connect it, the default IP@ 10.x.x.x can be kept.

To let me understand clearly, give a print of LD 117 PRT HOST

So, what's happening?
Is new cabinet up? For direct connection, use a cross connect ethernet cable. From Daughterboard, a small cable is going to the right front side of the cabinet, on ethernet plug 1 or 2. From backplane, your cross cable is going from plug 1 or 2, to the new cabinet backplane plug, and the small cable from front right side plug 1 or 2 to the DB.

Is new cabinet up?
Yes Its UP
For direct connection, use a cross connect ethernet cable. From Daughterboard, a small cable is going to the right front side of the cabinet, on ethernet plug 1 or 2.
Plug 1
From backplane, your cross cable is going from plug 1 or 2,
Plug 1
to the new cabinet backplane plug, and the small cable from front right side plug 1 or 2 to the DB.
Plug 1

The DB was installed on 2,4

 

[dlesap]

So... it's OK... or what?

Now you can configure and plug a new PRI in Loop 21 to 24

 

[JAAGB]

no its not came up
the DB no green lights

 

[dlesap]

Are you sure the MAC address is the one print on the chip of the daughterboad, first slot for cabinet 2?

The MAC address of SSC is not the same. To check: LD 137 PRT ELNK where you can see MAC@ of SSC

 

[JAAGB]

I checked on the Card MAC IP on the 2 and 4 and i gave the 2nd port MAC IP i gave it on IPR 2
I cross checked that asloo ...the cross cable was working fine(i tested with the 2 switches)

 

[JAAGB]

In ld 137 PRT ELNK nothing showing

 

[dlesap]

Sorry
STAT ELNK
