Planning for installation 

This section describes the way that you can connect an administration terminal 
to the Digital Telephone IP Adapter unit. It also describes the hardware and 
software requirements for using the Configuration Manager administration 
software.

The Digital Telephone IP Adapter system includes the Configuration Manager 
software that enables you to configure, administer, and upgrade the Digital 
Telephone IP Adapter unit. You can connect to Digital Telephone IP Adapter 
unit with Telnet to use Configuration Manager, or using the digital telephone set 
menu.

You can access Configuration Manager using a 10BaseT Ethernet connection for 
ongoing administration and upgrade of Digital Telephone IP Adapter units.

Note: Use the telephone set menu for first-time configuration of Digital 
Telephone IP Adapter units.

Once you configure the Digital Telephone IP Adapter unit with its IP interface 
information, the following can occur:

!

You can establish communication between the Digital Telephone IP 
Adapter unit and the RLC (that is, calls can be routed over the data link 
between the two).

!

You can administer the Digital Telephone IP Adapter unit over the data link 
between the unit and the RLC. For more information, refer to Appendix , 
“Administering multiple nodes in the network,”.
