Setting up GateControl EMS - IMG 1004

 

Before You Begin

 

Steps

Follow these steps to setup the GateControl EMS Server.
 

  1. Connect to the GCEMS Server via VNC or SSH (Default IP Address: 192.168.0.100)
     

  2. Login as user: excelsw with password: excelsw
     

  3. Configure a unique hostname.

  1. In the RedHat GUI, select System Settings > Network.

  2. Select the DNS tab and enter a unique hostname in the Hostname field.

  3. Select the Hosts tab and enter the same hostname.

 
  1. Create a symbolic link for dhcp using either the lnimg script or create manually through linux commands. See Below

 

Using lnimg (link img) script

Copy the lnimg script from opt/dialogic/common/osconfig to the folder containing system software (such as /home/excelsw/ftpBuilds). Run the lnimg script

 

./lnimg

 

Manually

From the  /home/excelsw/ftpBuilds directory (containing img1004_verXXXX_id0106.bin file), type:

 

$ ln - sf img1004_ver1050xxx_id0106.bin img1004_id0106.bin

 

To confirm the link has been created, type:

$ ls -la

 

Response:

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root    root   27 Jun 21 09:27 img1004_id0106.bin -> img1004_ver1050xxx_id0106.bin

 

Verify that the link created points to the correct bin file.
 

  1. As Super User, create the dhcpd.conf file.
     

Note: You can also create the Linux default dhcpd.conf file manually. See Sample dhcpd.conf File.

 

  1. Run the dhcpd file creation script located in /opt/dialogic/common/osconfig:

 

# ./xldhcp

 

  1. Enter values when prompted as appropriate for your configuration.

 

Note: Assign an IP address to the IMG 1004 that is on the same subnet as the GateControl EMS server. Once this IP address is set, the GateControl EMS will be able to connect to and configure the IMG 1004

 

You will be prompted for the following information: [factory defaults shown in bold]

 

Router/Default Gateway IP Address: [192.168.0.1]

Router/Default Gateway Subnet Mask: [255.255.255.0]

Subnet IP Address: (Router/Default Gateway IP Address - 1) [192.168.0.0]

FTP Server IP Address: (This PC IP Address) [192.168.0.100]

How many IMG systems are being configured? [1]

T1 or E1 IMG ( t/ e)? [ t]

CODEC Profile Selection

  1 = LBR

  2 = LBR + iLBC

  3 = LBR + iLBC + wireless

 

[NOTE: You must have a license for wireless codecs. You must also set host flags accordingly (see Vocoder Information)]

 

Enter CODEC profile? [2]

IMG(CTRL0)[1] IP Address: [192.168.0.102]

IMG(CTRL0)[1] MAC Address:  (MAC shown on IMG Label) [00:20:1C:xx:xx:xx]

 

The following is the response after all prompts are complete:                                                                                                                                            

dhcpd.conf created with 1 IMG's configured...   

 

The file will be created in the home/excelsw/ftpBuilds directory.
 

  1. Move the file to the /etc directory ( mv dhcpd.conf /etc)

  2. Restart the DHCPD Service by typing:

/sbin/service dhcpd restart

/sbin/ chkconfig dhcpd on

 

  1. Create the ntp.conf file

  1. Run the ntp configuration script: (./xlntp) (located at opt/dialogic/common/osconfig)

  2. Enter IP Address and Subnet mask when prompted as appropriate for your configuration.

  3. Move the ntp file to the /etc directory. ( mv ntp.conf /etc)
    See Sample ntp.conf File.

 

  1. Restart the SNTP Service by typing:

 

/sbin/service ntpd restart

/sbin/chkconfig ntpd on

 

CRON Jobs

The IMG 1004 includes a crontab that manages GCEMS processes. This crontab runs automatically when the GCEMS is started (StartGCEMS), and stopped when the GCEMS is stopped (StopGCEMS). This file should not be edited.

There is a user crontab where you can add your own cron jobs for such tasks as file management or CDR management.

The file is located at /opt/dialogic/common/cron/usercron

This crontab runs automatically when the GCEMS is started, and stopped when the GCEMS is stopped. To stop a service, comment it out or delete it from the file and then start the GCEMS again (StartGCEMS).
