This IMG 1010 Quick Start Guide is an abbreviated guide which describes how power and network cabling are connected prior to configuring. From there, the guide describes installing system software and GCEMS software. Once procedure is completed, the IMG system will be ready to start the configuration process. For more in depth information on installation and setup, refer to the online documentation at IMG 1010 Documentation
Shipping Information
Review the packing list to check that all the items listed on the packing list have been sent. Should any discrepancies exist, contact your Sales Representative immediately.
The original packaging should be retained in the event the system needs to be shipped for any reason. If packaging is no longer needed, both the corrugated cardboard and polyethylene foam can be recycled. See your local recycling facility for information and procedures on this.
Connecting Power
Connecting AC Power
If the IMG 1010 purchased is powered by an AC voltage then the AC input power must conform to the specifications in the table below.
...
| Info |
|---|
Warning! Do not attempt to modify or use the supplied AC power cord if it is not the exact type required. |
AC Power Module
The AC power docking station provides an AC input power module with an integrated fuse, power switch, and standard three position female AC input connector. This connector allows the docking station to interface with all variations of AC outlets by simply using a standard power cable and compatible outlet plug.
For more information regarding AC Power, please refer to IMG 1010 - Connecting AC Power.
Connecting DC Power
If the IMG 1010 is powered by DC voltage, the DC input power must conform to the specifications in the table below.
...
| Info |
|---|
Caution: Do not daisy-chain power connections on two or more IMG 1010 chassis and do not wire chassis directly to other equipment or a common bus bar. The DC power module must be wired directly to a -48VDC fused power source. |
-48 Volt Connections
When connecting -48 vdc to the IMG 1010, follow the instructions in the table and diagram below.
...
For more information regarding DC Power, please refer to IMG 1010 - Connecting DC Power.
Grounding (DC Version Only)
The DC version of the IMG 1010 should be connected to a true earth ground. To connect chassis to ground you will need the following equipment:
10-12 AWG machine tool wire (MTW) (green/yellow).
Double lug #10 hole at 5/8” spacing solder-less crimp connector used for chassis grounding (Sangoma-supplied).
Procedure
Remove the two-hole grounding lug at the rear of the IMG by removing the grounding screws.
Crimp the grounding wire to the lug. Re-attach the lug to the unit using the grounding screws.
Attach the other end of grounding wire to either a grounding point on the mounting rack or a building ground point.
For more information regarding DC Power, please refer to IMG 1010 - Connecting DC Power.
Network Connections
Connecting CTRL 0 Interface
The information below will provide the user with a basic setup sequence for connecting the IMG 1010 to the GCEMS server for the purpose of downloading software, managing services, and configuring the IMG 1010 using the ClientView GUI. Located on the rear of the IMG 1010 are the network interfaces. The first interface labeled CTRL 0 is a Fast Ethernet interface typically dedicated to the GCEMS server for network management functions. The interface is typically installed onto a private secure network.
Connect up cables as shown in the first figure below. The figure below displays an option that can be used that allows remote access to the GCEMS server and IMG 1010.
...
Connecting DATA 0 Interface
The information below will provide the user with a basic setup sequence for connecting the IMG 1010 to a VoIP network utilizing SIP or H.323 signaling. The DATA interfaces are Gigabit-Ethernet ports and are typically used to pass RTP traffic. Depending on how the ports are configured, they can be configured to be on the same secure IP network as the CTRL 0 interface (Management Network), or can be connected to a separate public network to be used for VoIP Signaling and RTP traffic.
...
| Info |
|---|
The IP addresses for these ports are assigned through the ClientView GUI. For more information on configuring these interfaces, refer to the IP Address and IP Network (Interface) topics in the IMG 1010 - ClientView Pane Reference section of the online documentation. |
Connecting TDM Signaling and Bearer Ports
The Bearer spans (Interface Offsets) 0-27 are connected to a TDM network. Each bearer interface which represents one DS1 can have signaling and/or bearer DS0’s configured on them. The Signaling/Timing interfaces can be connected to the TDM network as well. These interfaces are typically used for SS7 or ISDN signaling but can be used for any TDM functionality as well. Refer to IMG 1010 - T1-E1 for more information.
| Info |
|---|
SS7 Signaling links and ISDN D-channels can be brought in over either the Signal/Timing Ports or the Bearer Ports. |
Configure Pre-loaded GCEMS server
When purchasing an IMG 1010, the customer has the option of purchasing a server which is labeled the GCEMS server. This server has been pre-loaded with a version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux OS along with all the applications and services needed to start configuring the IMG 1010. If the GCEMS server was purchased through Sangoma, follow the procedure below. The procedure below describes configuring the GCEMS server to operate in your specific network. The first ethernet port on the GCEMS server is pre-configured with an address of 192.168.0.100. This IP address can be used to connect to the GCEMS server to make further changes to the host configuration
| Info |
|---|
Most commands will need to be executed as a root or super-user. Verify before entering commands that you are a root user. |
Update /etc/hosts and /etc/sysconfig/network files
In the /etc/hosts file, there are two entries. The first is mapped to 127.0.0.1. Do not edit this. The second is a factory default set up during configuration and testing at the factory. Using a text editor such as a vi or gedit, modify the default factory settings to equal the hostname and ip address being given to the GCEMS server. See example of default file below
...
| Info |
|---|
If the GCEMS server was not purchased from Sangoma, then a server must be configured with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The GCEMS and ClientView applications use Red Hat Enterprise Linux as the operating system to run on. In the online documentation, the topics under IMG 1010 - Linux Installation display recommended GCEMS server specifications, recommended Linux Configuration and OS settings, and one example describing the installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux onto a server. Follow these topics to install Linux on a server. Once Linux is installed, continue on with the procedure below. |
| Info |
|---|
IMPORTANT: Please read and understand the IMG 1010 technical documentation prior to performing any setup or installation procedures. |
Create symbolic link to load system software
To install the System Software into the IMG, the FTP Server being utilized (Usually GCEMS Server) should have one of two things to allow software to be loaded.
...
Executing the ls -la command as shown above, verifies that the link was created.
Create dhcpd.conf file
Create the dhcpd.conf file. The IP information, codec information, and protocol information for the IMG and GCEMS server should be determined before starting the xldhcpd script. Also, the MAC address of the CTRL 0 interface can be obtained from sticker located on bottom of IMG 1010 chassis.
...
| Code Block |
|---|
mv dhcpd.conf /etc |
Start the services nfs, vsftpd, dhcpd, and ntpd services
As a Super User, start all the services and configure them to restart when GCEMS server is rebooted. Enter the following commands to start the nfs server.
...
Once these services are running and the IMG software build is available the software can be downloaded. Refer to IMG 1010 - Downloading System Software and download the system software from the GCEMS server to the IMG 1010.
Install GCEMS software.
To take advantage of all new features, it is recommended that the latest version of GCEMS software be installed on the GCEMS Server. The most current software can be obtained from the Sangoma Technical Support website.
...
For more information on installing GCEMS and ClientView refer to IMG 1010 - Installing GCEMS Software.
Starting ClientView to start Configuring Switch
Once the IMG 1010 has the system software installed, the cabling is connected, and the GCEMS server has been configured, the ClientView application needs to be started. Once started, the ClientView application can be used to configure the system. Follow procedure below to start ClientView.
