TN8412AP S8400 server IP interface
Issue 6 February 2007 277
The SIPI provides the following functions:
● PN clock generation and synchronization for Stratum 4 type II only
● PN tone generation
● PN tone detection, global call classification, and international protocols
● Environmental maintenance
The SIPI can be accessed remotely using the Telnet and SSH protocols. The SIPI can serve as
an SSH client, as well, for remote access from the SIPI to the Communication Manager server.
The C-LAN can also serve as an FTP or SFTP server for file transfers — primarily firmware
downloads.
Note:
Note: The SIPI cannot serve as an SFTP client. Additionally, the SSH/SFTP capability
is only for the control network interface, not the Services interface.
The SIPI supports the following functions and devices:
● Eight global call classification ports
● Network diagnostics
● Download of SIPI firmware updates using Communication Manager Web pages, the
loadipsi command from the server’s Linux command line, or the Software Update
Manager.
The TN8412AP SIPI is compatible with the S8400 media server and the G650 gateway. It is
also compatible with the G600 and CMC1 gateways in migration systems.
Note:
Note: An S8400 system is shipped with a TN8412AP SIPI circuit pack. However, the
TN2312BP IPSI circuit pack is also compatible with S8400 systems.
SIPI support for system maintenance
A TN8412AP SIPI placed in a G650 with a carrier address set to A acts as the serial bus master.
A TN8412AP SIPI can only be placed in a G650 with a carrier address set to A. The TN8412AP
SIPI also provides environmental maintenance for the G650. This includes:
● Power supply, cabinet, and ring generator maintenance
● External device alarm detection
● Emergency transfer control
● Customer-provided alarm device control
