Configure ZPLS for Your Account

This section provides step-by-step instructions for configuring the ZPLS module for use within your account. After completing this section, you can expect to know how to assign a ZPLS module to a site for use, confirm its activity, and designate users for survivability through multiple levels of administration.

Associate the ZPLS Module(s) with a Site

Once the ZPLS module is installed, it must be associated with a site before it can be used. However, this process will vary if deploying multiple ZPLS modules in a group for scaling or resiliency, or if deploying a single ZPLS module without scaling or resiliency. The following two sections define Group Node deployments and Single Node deployments.

Associating multiple ZPLS modules in a group to a site for scaling and/or resiliency

To configure a site for scaling or redundancy, first complete all steps and sections within the Deploying ZPLS section for each module you are currently deploying. Once all modules are successfully installed and associated with the account, perform the following steps:

1. Sign into the Zoom web portal.

2. Under the Phone System Management sub-menu, select Company Info.

3. Click Account Settings.

   
4. Locate the Zoom Node subsection, find and click Manage next to Local Survivability.

   
5. On the following page, click the Groups tab.

   
6. Click the blue Add button, and a pop-up will appear.

7. Within the pop-up, give the group a name and description, mark whether or not the modules associated with this group are marked for redundancy, and if the group should enter testing mode.

   
8. Once complete, click Add.

9. On the following page, locate and click the name of the group you previously created.

   
10. On the following page, next to Nodes click Add.

    
11. Once again, on the following page, click the blue Add button**,**and a pop-up will appear.

    
12. Within the pop-up, select the intended modules for the site.

    
13. Once complete, click Save in the bottom-right corner, and the pop-up will close.

14. After the pop-up is closed, you will see the list of assigned ZPLS modules to the Node Group. Along the top of the screen, click the name of the group to the left of the “Nodes in…” link.

    
15. On the following page, input the name of the intended Site (and Route Group if necessary) within the appropriate field.

    
16. Click the blue Save button under the field.

17. You have successfully associated multiple ZPLS modules to a site!

Associating a single ZPLS module with a site without scaling and/or resiliency

To associate a ZPLS module with a site, perform the following steps:

1. Sign into the Zoom web portal.

2. Under the Phone System Management sub-menu, select Company Info.

3. Click Account Settings.

   
4. Locate the Zoom Node subsection and click Manage.

   
5. On the following screen, locate the appropriate ZPLS module based on the Server name, click Assign to on the right-hand side of the screen, and a pop-up will appear.

   
6. In the pop-up, select the appropriate site in the Assign to field. Leave the Route Group field blank at this time, and click OK when complete.

1. You have successfully assigned a ZPLS module to a site!
