Description:

The Node Configuration Wizard was designed to help the ClientView user create a configuration for the IMG. The Node Configuration Wizard was also designed to help simplify the configuration process. The application written will help a user create a new configuration or add to an existing configuration by first asking some simple questions and then implementing the answers given. The Node Configuration Wizard can be started in a few different ways. See below for the various ways the Configuration Wizard can be started

Related Topics:

There are no related Topics to the Node Configuration Wizard. The wizard touches so many different topics. Use the Webhelp online manual through ClientView or through this manual to find topics related to each of the different aspects of the Wizard.  

First way to start the wizard:

  • When the user first starts GCEMS and there is already a configuration loaded in /opt/dialogic/common/config the IMG will ask "Would you like to start a new configuration?" If the user selects yes and then opens up Clientview a screen like below will appear and ask whether the configuration wizard will be used. If there is no configuration in /opt/dialogic/common/config (For Instance: First time configuring IMG) the IMG will automatically go into New Configuration mode and the screen like below will appear when starting ClientView.

  • Once the screen below appears and the user selects the Wizard button then the configuration wizard will begin and the first screen that will appear is setting T1/E1 Profiles. If the answer is no then the Configuration Wizard will not begin and the user can now manually configure the switch through ClientView. See screen capture below

Second way to start the wizard:

  • The second way of starting the Configuration Wizard is in Clientview under the IMG EMS object there are two buttons labeled "General Configuration Wizard (Profiles)" and "Add IMG Wizard".

    • If the General Configuration Wizard button is selected then the wizard will start at the T1/E1 Profiles screen like above.

    • If the Add IMG Wizard button is selected the wizard will bypass all the General Configuration and start at the point of Adding a New IMG. This wizard will be for scenarios where the user just needs to add a New IMG to an existing configuration.

Third way to start the wizard:

  • The third way to start the wizard is to highlight one of a two objects on the left hand side of ClientView. The Configuration Wizard can be started from either the Dialogic IMG EMS object or the IMG Name (Physical IMG).

    • To start from the Dialogic IMG EMS object and there is no configuration started yet select Dialogic IMG EMS --> General Configuration Wizard the General Configuration Wizard will begin starting with the IMG profiles. At this point any of the fields can be changed. See 1st screen capture under "Procedure" below

    • To start from the Dialogic IMG EMS object and there is already a configuration present select Dialogic IMG EMS --> General Configuration Wizard the wizard will begin at the profiles screen however all profiles are locked. The only field that can get changed is the filename. See screen capture below

    • From here the wizard will continue and ask whether you would like to configure all the General functions that are not specific to the Physical IMG

    • The second object on the left hand side that can be selected is the Physical IMG itself. Right Click on the Physical IMG and select IMG Configuration Wizard. Once this is done the wizard will look at what is already configured under the Physical IMG object and start a configuration window on something that is not already configured. For Example if the wizard is run and SIP is already configured in ClientView, the wizard will skip the SIP and start with H.323 configuration.

Procedure:

Below is a quick configuration using only 1 IMG, T1 Spans and limited external network elements. It is to be used as a guide for configuring a new system. Not all configuration options will get configured nor will all the options in each screen be explained. This procedure will give the user a good idea how the Configuration Wizard works and a little information on each screen. If the user needs to get more in depth about the screen being configured then the Help button can be selected from each screen and that will bring you to the correct point in the WebHelp Manual.  The Configuration Wizard will be opened using the second method shown above which is to select the General Configuration Wizard (Profiles) button.
