PIC bays should be filled in numerical order, starting with the lowest available bay (e.g., bay 0) followed by bays with progressively higher numbers. 10. Secure the PIC by tightening its thumbscrews. 11. Apply power to the switch or router. Re-attach the power cord, and reconnect any redundant power supply. 12. Test the PIC. There are several ways to check the PIC is installed and functioning correctly.
Installation and Safety Guide 7 Downloading VoIP Firmware The following instructions are for downloading the Voice over IP (VoIP) PIC firmware onto your PIC. The instructions assume you have successfully installed the VoIP PIC into your switch or router and made sure all the LEDs show as being on. 1. Download the VoIP PIC firmware Open your web browser and enter the URL www.alliedtelesis.co.uk. Navigate to the PIC’s product information page and find the firmware files you need from the support page.
Port Interface Card 6. Load the protocol image onto the PIC or PICs. To load the protocol image, use the command: enable voip protocol={h323|sip} [engine={engine}] The boot code loads the protocol onto all PICs unless you specify an individual PIC (engine). The engine name is formed by concatenating a VoIP interface type and an engine instance (for example, fxs2). A fully qualified engine name may also be specified (for example, bay0.fxs0 or nsm0.bay1.fxs0).
