IMG 1010 - Installing GCEMS Software

Follow the procedure below to install the IMG software on to the GCEMS Server. The IMG User Interfaces, ClientView, EventView, and AdminView can be installed either on the same PC or on a separate PC from which the GCEMS software is located. This procedure includes steps for installing them on the same Linux machine as the GCEMS. To install the IMG User Interfaces on a machine with Windows, see IMG 1010 - Installing ClientView for Windows.

Before you Begin:

• Obtain the software builds from the IMG Software CD or get the latest version from the Customer Support BBS.

• Obtain the license sent to you before the IMG was shipped or use the license that is included on CD shipped with the unit.
  
  

Steps:

• Open a terminal window and go to /home/excelsw. Create a directory named ftpBuilds. See below.

  $ mkdir ftpBuilds

• Transfer the following files to /home/excelsw/ftpBuilds on the GCEMS server:

  • IMG_10.x.x.xx.bin (GCEMS)

  • IMGUserInterface_10.x.x.xx.bin (ClientView, EventView, AdminView)

• Once the files are transferred they need to become executable. Change the mode of the .bin files to executable by performing a chmod +x to each .bin file. This will give execute abilities to all users.

  $ chmod +x IMG_10.x.x.xx.bin $ chmod +x IMGUserInterface_10.x.x.xx.bin

• Become a Super User and install GCEMS software by entering following command:

  # ./IMG_10.x.x.xx.bin

   

  Follow the instructions as prompted.
  See IMG 1010 - GCEMS Installation Script for sample script.  

• As Super User, install IMG User Interface (ClientView) software by entering following command:

   

  Follow the instructions as prompted.
  See IMG 1010 - GCEMS Installation Script for sample script.  

• Once finished an icon for ClientView, AdminView, StopGCEMS, and StartGCEMS is automatically created and placed on the Linux Red Hat desktop.

• Log out of the Super User mode by entering the exit command and become excelsw user again. This will create an entry in the /etc/profile to set the SK_LIB_DIR directory.

• To verify that the SK\_LIB\_DIR path is correct, go to the /etc directory and enter the more command to the profile file. See command below.
  [excelsw@img1010 etc]$ more profile
  Verify the following depending on the software version being used:
  SK\_LIB\_DIR=/opt/dialogic/IMG/GateControlEMS and LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH:/opt/dialogic/IMG/GateControlEMS/lib  (Software 10.5.1 +)

• Use FTP to transfer the IMG license to the license folder. Login as user excelsw and put the license file <chassis serial number>-<date>.cfg into the following directory.
  /opt/dialogic/common/license (Software 10.5.1 +)
  /opt/cantata/common/license (Software 10.3.x to 10.5.0)  

• Refer to IMG 1010 - Folders and Files Created During Installation. This will explain the directory structure and explain what each folder is created for.

• Once software is installed then the services such as ftp, dhcpd, nfs, and ntpd will need to be configured and started. Refer to IMG 1010 - Configure GCEMS and Start Linux Services for information on how to accomplish this.
