Procedure on replacing an IPSI in S8700 1

[cjinsocal581]

Does anybody have the correct and full process on replacing an ipsi board?

The system has two IPSI's.

We had another site where when the ipsi was repalced, it brought down the whole system.

Any ideas?

The above is what I could find for you.

first off:
1. are your IPSIs dupicated?
2. are your IPSIs in a multi-connect or ip-connect control network?

i ask this because if your IPSIs are not dupicated and you remove one, that carrier/cabinet/port network will fail in service.
if you are in a multi-connect control network setting, your IPSIs are not staticly addressed. if you are in an ip-connect setting, you will have to re-IP the new IPSI if your IPSIs arent set up for DHCP.

Two IPSI's in an MCC. I believe an ip-connect environment.

To replace an IPSI in a Duplicated IP-Connect Environment, you must make sure that the IPSI you are replacing is in Standby mode. Run command 'list ipsi'. See which IPSI is in Standby. Thats the one you can change. If you need to switch to the other one, its 'set ipsi a-all OR b-all'. Swap and then set ip if you need it.


IPSI IP: ______ . ______ . ______ . ______

Subnet: ______ . ______ . ______ . ______

Gateway (if any): ______ . ______ . ______ . ______


1.Install IPSI board into Gateway/Cabinet if new install. See bottom of form if swap.
2.Configure your laptop's Ethernet port to 192.11.13.5 and 255.255.255.252
3.Connect laptop via Cross-Over Cable to Services port on front of IPSI board.
4.On your laptop, select Start, Run, and then type cmd in the space anilogind hit enter.
5.At DOS prompt, type telnet 192.11.13.6
6.When connected, you should see an [IPSI]: command prompt.
7.Type the word ipsilogin and hit enter.
8.Type the words craft (for the user) and serv1ces (for the password). Note: the letter i in services is replaced with the number 1. You should be at the [IPADMIN]: prompt.
9.Now type set control interface [ipsi ip address] [subnet] and hit enter. Use the IPSI IP address and Subnet from above without the brackets.
10.Type exit and hit enter.
11.Now log into the IPSI board again using step 4 through 8 then come back to step 12.
12.Now type set control gateway [gateway ip] and hit enter. Use the Gateway IP from above. The customer may not have a LAN Gateway in use for the IPSIs, so this step may not be necessary.
13.Type exit and hit enter.
14.Now log into the IPSI board again using step 4 through 8 then come back to step 15.
15.Type show control interface and check to make sure the IP addressing matches the above info.
16.Type reset and hit enter, then type y and hit enter to confirm IPSI board.
17.Now log into the IPSI board again using step 4 through 8 then come back to step 18.
18.Type show control interface to make sure the IPSI board reset was successful.
19.Type exit and hit enter to exit the IPSI command line interface.
20.Type exit and hit enter to close the DOS window.

If this is a replacement of an IPSI board in a IP-Connect configuration, you need to log into the IPSI (if possible) and retrieve the existing IP addresses if they are not available from the customer. You may also retrieve them from the S87XX/S8500. Write those addresses down on the form and use those to configure the new IPSI board.

Don't forget you will need a new license when this is your 'Golden' IPSI.
