The Ethernet interfaces and routing table in the PowerMedia WMS must be configured to enable the operation of the PowerMedia WMS. The PowerMedia WMS requires an interface to be designated for RTP traffic. When IP addresses, routes and designated interfaces for RTP have been established, the PowerMedia WMS is ready to be brought up in its default configuration and to process calls.
The Network menu provides commands for configuring and activating the Ethernet interfaces on the PowerMedia WMS and for configuring routing and DNS information.
The PowerMedia WMS has two Ethernet interfaces by default, eth0 and eth1.
eth0 is typically connected to a DHCP server and acquires its address via DHCP. This port is used for management and configuration access via the Web UI.
eth1 is typically configured with a static address dedicated to RTP traffic.
