FXS 16-port Card - Reserved Access IP
The default IP Addressing settings must be changed to match the backplane addressing used in the Galaxy Expand i5 or 2930 Server Cards or to match the addressing required to connect to any other UCX system in the customer environment. If the card does not seem to be responding at the IP address that was assigned during inital configuration, it may be reachable using the card's Reserved Access IP.
Identifying the Reserved Access IP address of FXS 16-port Cards
FXS 16 Port card default configuration for the Reserved Access IP uses the following scheme:
- As noted in Galaxy Expand - Initial Configuration, configure an IP Address on your computer ethernet port to a value in the same subnet of the FXS 16-port card Reserved Access IP Address. For example, 172.16.99.20 with a subnet of 255.255.0.0.
- Connect the ethernet output of your PC to either of the ethernet switch ports (ETH1 or ETH2) on the front of the Switch Fabric Card (in the SFS slot).
- To connect to a particular FXS 16-port Card, enter the default IP Address associated with the card's slot position into your browser using a standard http connection (not https). For example, if the FXS 16-port Card was in slot 3, then enter http://172.16.99.3.
- Your browser will display the log-in screen.
- Log in using the default credentials (username = admin; password = admin). The Galaxy Expand/Express - FXS 16-port System Menu Page will be shown.
Once you have access to the system using the Reserved Access IP you may verify the other LAN settings and make any changes as required to re-connect the card to the network for communication with the UCX software.
E-MetroTel does not recommend changing the Reserved Access IP since it is used primarily as a backup means to connect to the card. The Reserved Access IP is shown in the Network menu on the LAN Settings tab.
