Connecting DATA 0 Interface

The DATA interface located on the rear of the IMG 1004 is a 100 Mbit port and is dedicated to VoIP Signaling and RTP traffic. Depending on how the ports are configured, the DATA interface can be configured to be on the same secure IP network as the CTRL interface (Management Network), or can be connected to a separate public network to be used for VoIP Signaling and RTP traffic.

• Connect up the cables as shown in the figure below. The figure below displays the DATA interface being connected to a public network.
  
  

  Open

  

• The DATA interface located on the rear of the IMG 1004 and is a 100 Mbit port dedicated to VoIP Bearer traffic (RTP) or SIP/H.323 signaling. Refer to IMG 1004 - Connecting Ethernet and TDM Cables for more information on connecting to this interface.

Connecting TDM Signaling and Bearer Ports

The Bearer ports (Interface Offsets) 0-3 connect to a TDM network as displayed below. Each bearer interface which represents one DS1 can have TDM signaling and/or TDM Bearer traffic configured on them. The Bearer Span interfaces are typically used but not limited to SS7, ISDN, or CAS bearer traffic. TDM signaling can be configured to use the Bearer Interfaces as well. Refer to IMG 1010 - T1-E1 for more information.

Configure Pre-loaded GCEMS server

When purchasing an IMG 1004, 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 1004. If the GCEMS server was purchased through Dialogic Inc, 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 preconfigured with an address of 192.168.0.100 that can be used to connect to the GCEMS server to make further changes to host configuration.

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 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.

• Edit the HOSTNAME=<hostname> line in the /etc/sysconfig/network file so the value given to <hostname> is the same hostname being modified in /etc/hosts file in previous step.

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.

• A pathname to the specific software that is to be installed -or-

• Have a link generated in the ftp server that points a generic name (img1004_id0106.bin) to a specific software file.

The procedure below describes the latter. Creating a link will allow the user to change software builds in the IMG easily. The link generated will create an association between the filename line in the dhcpd.conf file located in /etc and the latest version software being installed. The link will be created in the /home/excelsw/ftpBuilds folder. A script has been written that will create the symbolic link described above. This script was written to make it easier to change the symbolic link each time a new build is to be installed. Follow the procedure below to create the symbolic link through the lnimg script.

• Copy the script file labeled lnimg located in the /opt/dialogic/common/osconfig directory and paste it into the /home/excelsw/ftpBuilds directory.

• From the ftpBuilds run the lnimg (link img) script

• Follow the instructions and enter the appropriate IMG 1004 Build Number from the Available IMG 1004 Build files. Use the format described in the lnimg script. (1051=10.5.1, 1052=10.5.2, 1053=10.5.3).

  • The following response will be generated:

• 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 xldhcp script. Also, the MAC address of the CTRL interface can be obtained from sticker located on the rear of IMG 1004 chassis.

• As Super User, create a dhcpd.conf file. Run the dhcpd file creation script located in the following /opt/dialogic/common/osconfig directory.

• Enter values when prompted as appropriate for your configuration. You will be prompted for the following information:

The following is the response after all prompts are complete:   

• The file will be created in the /opt/dialogic/common/osconfig directory.

• Move the file to the /etc directory

Start the services nfs, vsftpd, and dhcpd, 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.

•  Enter the following commands to start vsftpd service 

• Enter the following commands to start dhcpd service

• Enter the following commands to start ntpd service

• 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.
   

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.

• Go to the Sangoma BBS Website at http://excelbbs.sangoma.com/default.htm

• You will require a logon username and password to access the site. (A support contract is needed to access this site.) Within this site in section "357. IMG 10.5.3" will be two software binary files with the following format. Download the latest version of these files.

  • IMG_10.5.3.xxx.bin

  • IMGUserInterface_10.5.3.xxx.bin

• Open a terminal on the GCEMS server and become a root/superuser by entering the command:

• Change the mode to executable for the following files being installed. This is accomplished by executing the following commands:

• Install GCEMS software.

• Install the IMG User Interface

• At the end of the installation you will be prompted to log out. Log out as root user by entering the exit command.

Starting ClientView to start Configuring Switch

Once the IMG 1004 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.

• Double Click on the IMG ClientView icon on the desktop -or- enter the ./ClientView command from the /opt/dialogic/IMG/IMGUserInterface/ClientView directory.

• An About Dialogic ClientView box will appear. Click on the Close button at the bottom.

• A Client Socket box appears and asks for username and password. Enter username and password and select OK. The default User and password are:
  Username admin
  Password admin

• EventView and ClientView screens will appear. GCEMS and ClientView are now running.

• Right Click on the Dialogic IMG EMS object in the ClientView tree and select New Logical IMG. Enter a name for this Logical Node Group.

• Right click on The Logical IMG and select New Physical IMG.

•  In the object that appears, enter a name in the name field and enter the IP address given to the <CTRL 0> interface in the IP address (nn.nn.nn.nn) field. The GCEMS will now connect. Once connected, ClientView will appear like the following screen capture.  
  
  

The IMG 1004 is now ready to be configured using ClientView.
