IMG 1010 - Licensing
The IMG 1010 and various components require a license to be operated or enabled. The licenses are generated by Dialogic and distributed with the software supplied with the IMG 1010. Each license will unlock different functionality and the licenses are sold in different increments to address each customers needs. The license needs to be transferred to the /opt/dialogic/common/license directory on the GCEMS server.
File Format
The license file supplied contains a unique name which is derived from the serial number of the I/O board of the IMG 1010. The format of the file includes the eight digit serial number first (NNNNNNNN) followed by a timestamp (YYYYMMDDhhmmss).
NNNNNNNN_YYYYMMDDhhmmss.cfg
If the license is renamed or altered, it will become unusable.
Downloading a new License
FTP the license file into the /opt/dialogic/common directory on the GCEMS server. Remove or rename the existing licenses within the directory.
In ClientView, right-click the Physical IMG object and select New Licensing Info.
The IMG 1010 - License Info pane appears. Click the Download Node License button. The license loaded will now get sent to the IMG 1010.
Verify that within the IMG License Info pane object, that the new license is displayed.
The license is downloaded to the IMG 1010 based on the serial number. If a license other than the license intended for this machine is sent to the IMG 1010, the license will not download. It has to be specifically created for this machine's serial number.
Do not rename or alter the license file in any way; it will become unusable if altered.
Viewing License Info
You can view the current license status on a Physical IMG using the IMG 1010 - License Info pane.
Evaluation License:
Evaluation licenses expire after a specified number of days. If using an Evaluation License, the License Expiration Info field indicates the date/time that the license will expire, as shown below. If you are not using an Evaluation License, the field will say "Does not expire".
A warning pop-up screen will appear in ClientView when there are 72 hours remaining on the license and an EventView alarm is generated when it has expired.
License Validation Failure
If for some reason the license isn't valid for the IMG 1010, the icon shown below will appear in the ClientView tree after creating a Physical Node.
 | A license validation has failed. Verify you have the required license and that it is configured on the IMG. See IMG 1010 - Downloading a License and the IMG 1010 - License Info pane. |
Licensed Components
Below are a list of licenses that can be created for the IMG 1010. Information on each is provided. Table 1 below shows the increments that each license can be purchased.
If licensing remote CIC's, each remote node must have an SS7_ISUP port license that equals the number of CIC's you want to configure on that remote node.
If configuring SS7 Redundancy, both the Active IMG and its Peer/Redundant node must have an SS7 Base license. This will allow for the configuration of stacks and links on the Peer/Redundant node
License | Description |
SYSTEM_SOFTWARE | System Software License is needed on all IMG 1010's and is specific to the software build. A basic System Software License includes as a default 1024 DSP Resources |
SS7_BASE | The SS7 base license will need to be loaded if SS7 is going to be used. |
SS7_TCAP_TRANSACTION | One TCAP license is created for IMG 1010. TCAP is either enabled or disabled. |
SS7_LINK | Up to 64 links can be licensed. They are licensed in 2 link pairs. |
SS7_ISUP_PORT (CIC's) | Up to 768 Ports can be licensed on the IMG 1010. See Table 1 Below. |
SS7_M3UA_APP_SERVER_STACK | Up to (4) M3UA Application Server stack licenses per IMG 1010. Licenses are created per stack. (1,2,3, or 4 M3UA AS licenses) |
SS7_M3UA_SIG_GATEWAY_STACK | Up to (4) M3UA Signaling Gateway stack licenses per IMG 1010. Licenses are created per stack. (1,2,3, or 4 M3UA SG licenses) |
SS7_M3UA_SIGTRAN_LINK | Up to 64 St-links or associations can be licensed. Licenses are created in 2 step increments. (2,4,6,.....64) |
ISDN_PORT | Up to 768 ports can be licensed for ISDN B channels. See Table 1 below. |
TDM_PORT | There are a total of 768 TDM ports on the IMG 1010. (24 E1 and 32 T1) Table 1 below displays the increments that the licenses are created. |
VoIP_PORT | There are a total of 1024 VoIP Ports. If the IMG 1010 has two VoIP modules installed, channels are assigned to each module in groups of 32. For example, if the IMG 1010 is licensed for 96 channels, 64 will be on the first module and 32 will be on the second module. The Maximum number of licenses that can be configured is 768 unless the IMG 1010 is being used for transcoding. In this case there are 1056 licenses available. |
AMR_CODEC | The IMG supports the AMR codec license. See Table 1 below. |
EVRC_CODEC | The IMG supports the EVRC codec license. See Table 1 below. |
CAS_PORT | Up to 768 ports can be licensed for CAS. By default when ordering TDM port licenses you are automatically given the same number of CAS licenses with no extra charge. See Table 1 below. |
DSP_RESOURCE_POINTS | The IMG 1010 initially comes licensed with 1024 Resource Points. Licenses are then created in 1024 port increments. 1024, 2048, 3072, 4096, 5120. |
SECURE_COMMUNICATION | The secure communication license adds the ability to configure TLS and then SRTP for secure SIP communication. With this license, both SIP signaling and SIP RTP will be encrypted. |
SWITCHKIT®_NODE | The Switchkit®_Node license will allow GCEMS to communicate with the IMG 1010 |
