1. Type add cabinet n (where is the cabinet number) and press Enter for each stack of 
Media Gateways  controlled by one TN8412AP SIPI circuit pack.
A cabinet is defined as up to five G650 Media Gateways mounted in a rack and 
TDM-connected.
2. Fill in the location and carrier type for media gateways 2(B), 3(C), 4(D), and 5(E). 
Enabling SIPI 
These steps enable the SIPI circuit pack and allow the SIPI to control the port network.
1. Type change system-parameters ipserver-interface and press Enter
2. On the IP Server Interface System Parameters screen, verify that the Primary Control 
Subnet Address is correct.
The subnet address must match the most significant 3 octets (the first 3 groups of digits in 
the subnet address) of the Media Gateway’s Server IP address (the server that controls 
the port network). Use configure server on the Maintenance Web Interface to see the 
IP address to match. 
An asterisk (*) to the right of the Subnet Address field means that the subnet address 
displayed is not the correct one. Avaya Communication Manager does not have the subnet 
information.
