Description
External Device Connection Setup for Two 8960s
-
When establishing an
External Device Connection
using one or more test sets, it is recommended that you connect both the
LAN 1 PORT
and
LAN 2 PORT
to the LAN switch.
-
Go to the External Device Connection Setup screen on 8960 #1 and 8960 #2:
-
Press the
SYSTEM CONFIG
key.
-
Press the left
More
key until you reach the
Control 2 of 2
menu.
-
Select
External Device Connection
(
F4
).
-
8960 #1: Select
Ext 8960 IP Addr
(
F1
) and enter the LAN IP address of 8960 #2. (The
LAN IP address
of 8960 #2 is displayed in the
LAN Connection Information
window of 8960 #2 under
LAN (Self) IP Address
.)
-
8960 #1: Select
Connect to External 8960
(
F3
).
-
Ensure that the
External Device Conn Status
is
Connected
on both 8960s.
Note that the
Connected Device IP Address
on 8960 #1 is the
LAN IP Address
of 8960 #2, and is also equal to the
Ext 8960 IP Addr
setting of 8960 #1 because 8960 #1 initiated the connection (see
8960 #1 External Device Connection Setup Screen
).

Note that
Connected Device IP Address
on 8960 #2 is the
LAN IP Address
of 8960 #1, but is not necessarily equal to the
Ext 8960 IP Addr
setting of 8960 #2, as 8960 #2 did not initiate the connection (see
8960 #2 External Device Connection Setup Screen
).
