Administering Media Servers
555-233-506562 Issue 5 October 2002
■ The list media-gateway [‘print’ or ‘schedule’] command shows the list of
currently administered gateways. Information includes the media gateway
number, name, serial number, IP address, and whether or not this media
gateway is currently registered with the call controller. The IP address field
is blank until the media gateway registers once, then remains populated.
■ The list configuration media-gateway x command allows you to list all
the assigned ports on the media modules for the G700 Media Gateway
specified by its number (
x).
System-Parameters Customer-Options screen
(For S8300 and S8700 Media Servers) This screen has been updated to indicate
the presence of an S8300 Media Server as a primary or standby call processor as
listed below. See Chapter 18, ‘‘Screen reference’’for a complete description of
this screen.
■ The Optional Features section contains a new Local Spare Processor (LSP)
field. If it displays a
y (yes), this S8300 Media Server is configured to
provide standby call processing in case the primary media server is
unavailable. See ‘‘Local Survivable Processor configuration’’ for details.
This display-only field can be set only by the license file.
■ Two additional fields in the Optional Features section indicate if the
primary call-processing controller is an S8300 Media Server. If traditional
port networking is disabled and Processor Ethernet is enabled, an S8300
Media Server is controlling telecommunications.
■ Port Network Support: set to n indicates that traditional port
networking is disabled. An S8300 Media Server is the primary call
controller.
■ Processor Ethernet: set to y indicates the presence of an S8300
Media Server.
Quality of Service Monitoring
(For S8300 and S8700 Media Servers) Several screen changes allow you to
monitor Quality of Service (QoS) on an S8300 Media Server with a G700
configuration. The media gateway can send data to a real-time control protocol
(RTCP) server, which in turn monitors the network region’s performance. Screens
include:
■ A new RTCP Monitor Server section on the IP-Options System
Parameters screen allows you to enter a single default IP address, server
port, and RTCP report period that can be utilized by all administered
network regions. This means you do not have to re-enter the IP address
each time you access the
ip-network-region screen.
