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
...
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.
...
An Add IMG Wizard summary screen will appear next. verify the information and select "Finish". Any changes that need to be made can be made in this summary screen also
A Connect to IMG pane will appear. The wizard will go out and find the IMG through use of IP Address and create a physical IMG. All information such as serial numbers, software versions, licenses, etc will get populated in ClientView under the Physical IMG Pane. (IMG Name pane)
The next screen that appears is the Configure Signaling Spans screen. This pane will configure the four signaling ports on the rear of the IMG. See screen capture below. In the example below two T1 Signaling spans are getting created. Select "Next" when all is done.
The Configure Bearer Spans screen will now appear. This Pane will configure the 28 Bearer Ports on the rear of the IMG for T1 and 21 Bearer Ports on the rear of the IMG for E1. In the example we are configuring 10 bearer spans starting with span 0.
Profile > This is a drop down menu of all profiles created previously
Start Interface > Starting Span or Port
Span Count > Number of spans getting configured. Select "Next" when done
The Timing screen will now appear. The Timing Priority can be configured here as well as the spans that will be used for primary and secondary loop timing. Make appropriate selections. See screen capture
Timing List > When selecting this box a list of timing preferences will appear in a pop up box. These timing preferences can be changed in priority. The Timing preference at the top of the list is highest priority and they work there way down to lowest priority
Span for Primary and Secondary Loop Timing > Select from drop down list a span to be used for Primary and Secondary loop timing.
Select Next"
The VOIP Modules in the IMG will now get configured. See screen capture below
VOIP Module 0 Address > Give this an IP address suitable for the network it will reside on.
VOIP Module 1 Address > Give this an IP address suitable for the network it will reside on. If the module is greened out as in example above, that means there is only one VOIP module installed
VOIP Module Gateway > IP Address of the Gateway the VOIP module will be connected to
Starting RTP Port > This is selectable from 8000 to 62462. The deafult is 8000
Finish all other boxes and select "Next
The DSP chips will now get configured for things like accepting tones and playing treatments. In the screen below change the settings for your network.
All boxes above are selectable in a drop down menu or can be edited. In this example we will keep the default values. Select Next when done changing the configuration.
The next two screens will configure the individual DSP chips. There are drop down menus for each. See screen capture below. Select the proper
Previously we had selected SS7 and SIP to be the protocols that will get configured. The first to get configured is SIP. The Configuring the SIP screen will appear. See capture below.
SIP Signaling IP address > Drop down menu with IP addresses for each of the IP ports onthe IMG. Select which port SIP Signaling will be configured on.
Default Port for SIP IS 5060 but this can be changed by user.
Make changes as needed for network and select the "Next" button
A summary screen will appear. Verify that all the choices are correct. The summary screen can be edited and the changes will take place before moving on. Select "Finish" when all settings have been verified
...
A question will now appear in a pop up screen asking "Do you want to Configure another IMG?" If the answer is yes then the wizard will start the Physical IMG configuration again. If the answer is no the wizard will quit and ClientView will now have a basic configuration. See screen capture below of ClientView after finishing this example configuration.
The Wizard is now complete. All the variables that were selected in the wizard have now been configured. The Wizard will however add a few objects to the configuration. In ClientView the first part of the wizard was General Configuration of Profiles and Gateways. Along with what the user selected ClientView will add Routing object, Translation Tables object, Channels Groups object etc to remind the user that those are objects that will probably be needed and will need to manually configure them. On the physical side of the configuration the wizard will add in a licensing object and a call tracing object. These additions are objects that are nice to have for information purposes. Information on these objects can be found in the online Help Manual accessible from either the ClientView Help Menu in the toolbar or through the Support Site.
