System status and maintenance
Introduction
System Status and Maintenance primarily involves viewing the
status of the system and various hardware components to see if
everything is operational.
When a hardware component needs servicing, it must first be
disabled and then reenabled when the problem is fixed. This is
done in System Status and Maintenance.
Viewing status and
disabling components
For each of the following hardware components, you can view
its status, disable (or courtesy disable) it for servicing, and
reenable it:
• the entire system
•nodes
•cards
• DSP ports
Channel Allocation
Table
The Channel Allocation Table shows how channels (ports) are
allocated to services.
From the Channel Allocation Table, you can view the
following:
• the channels that are on your system, their type, and
whether they are shared by services or dedicated to a
particular service for placing outbound calls
• the maximum number of each type of port, and how many
of each port type have been allocated
If you disable ports, you can do the following:
• Modify the Primary DN.
• Modify Channel DN.
• Modify the port type and capability.
• Dedicate ports to a particular service (for outcalls only).
