...
This feature allows you to search text/data within a configuration based on different criteria. Search can be performed in forward or backward direction. You can search on partial strings (ex. a search on "IM" will find "IMG"). Wildcards are not supported.
See IMG 1010 - ClientView Search Capabilities.
Importing Data Enhancements:
...
At the start of the import process, the Import Manager will present choices for how duplicate objects and error conditions are to be handled. The Import Manager will then process the imported file based on these selections.
See IMG 1010 - Importing Route Table Entries .
Monitoring
SNMP:
The IMG supports the following for SNMP:
Ability to monitor Ethernet, DS1 and DS3 interfaces using industry standards MIBs
Get and Trap commands (SETs are not be supported)
Support for industry standard MIBs among common Network Management tools.
See IMG 1010 - Overview of SNMP
MRTG:
The Multi Router Traffic Grapher (MRTG) is a tool to monitor the traffic load on network links. MRTG generates HTML pages containing PNG images which provide a Live visual representation of this traffic.
See IMG 1010 - Overview of MRTG.
H.323
Symmetric NAT Traversal
...
H323 uses the Symmetric NAT Traversal information internally. No Symmetric NAT Traversal information is shared with other gateways or endpoints.
See IMG 1010 - Symmetric NAT Traversal.
SS7
Forward call Indicators (FCI) Override:
Forward Call Indicators contain information relating to the characteristics of the connection, signaling path and called party sent in the forward direction. This is a mandatory parameter in IAM messages, which is used in countries that offer CUG (closed user group) service. Using the FCI Override pane, you can configure the IMG to send or ignore various indicators.
See IMG 1010 - Configuring SS7 CIC Routing (Configuring FCI Override section) and IMG 1010 - FCI Override pane reference.
COT Test
You can send a Continuity Check request on a CIC or a group of CICs. See the IMG 1010 - Circuit Group pane.

See IMG 1010 - IP Bearer Profile.
Engineering Release 1
The following features have been added to the baseline Controlled Introduction release with Engineering Release 1.
...

...
setup time
connect time
disconnect time
See IMG 1010 - Setting Local Time for more information.
SIP
The following SIP features were added to IMG release 10.3.2:
...
A SIP Profile allows you to easily assign unique features sets to a Physical IMG, or a common set of features to multiple IMGs. You create a SIP Profile and then assign profiles to a gateway in the External Gateway pane. You can also assign a SIP Profile to a SIP Signaling object, which will indicate to another IMG should treat a call going to or coming from the IMG.
See IMG 1010 - SIP Profiles for more information.
SIP Redirect Server Support
This feature allows the IMG to respond to the 3XX class of SIP messages returned from a redirect server.
See IMG 1010 - SIP Redirect Server Support.
SIP Diversion Header
The IMG supports the INVITE Diversion Header (Diversion and CC-Diversion) to support PSTN Redirecting Services (also known as Call Forwarding). The INVITE Diversion header carries information about the redirection. The Diversion header prevents this pertinent SS7 redirection information from being lost in the SS7 to SIP conversion. When SS7 redirection information is received on the incoming side, it is relayed in the Diversion header on the outgoing SIP side
You enable this feature in the IMG 1010 - SIP Profile - 10.5.3 .
See IMG 1010 - SIP Diversion Header.
SIP Re-origination Attempts
...
Another benefit is the savings in time that the physical resources are allocated for a call that will never complete. By reducing the re-origination attempts, the call attempt will be torn-down sooner and the physical resources associated with the call will be released sooner.
See IMG 1010 - Overview of SIP (Routing/Call Handling section).
...
This feature allows the IMG to interact with SIP Proxy Servers and Session Border Controllers as intermediate routes between domains. The IMG can route SIP traffic to these SIP entities (SIP proxies) and with the knowledge of their final destination (remote SIP UA).
See IMG 1010 - SIP Proxy Handling.
SIP Trunk Group Selection
Use these features if you have a Centralized Routing Model and do not require the IMG to perform routing decisions. These features are enabled or disabled in the IMG 1010 - SIP Profile - 10.5.3 , which can be assigned on a SIP Gateway or SIP Signaling basis.
...
This feature allows the use of the INFO method to send a DTMF digit to another gateway.
See IMG 1010 - SIP INFO Method - DTMF.
Non-Standard Tags in From Header
This feature allows you to select multiple non-standard tags to include in the From header. You configure this feature in the IMG 1010 - SIP Profile - 10.5.3 pane.
