To play announcements or treatments, an NFS server must be configured to send the announcement and treatment files to the 2020 IMG. The NFS server can be configured on the GCEMS server or can be configured on a separate server. Configure an NFS server before configuring the Media and Media Modules.
Field Descriptions:
Media Name (Used in NFS):
The Media Name field will have a default NFS Server name that will be displayed in ClientView. To modify, click in the box and enter the new name. The default name can be changed or left as the default. (Default=IMG0)
User ID:
The default value in this field is set to 1001. Modify this value to the User ID of the excelsw user profile. If the GCEMS system has been purchased through Dialogic, the user ID for the excelsw profile is set to 500. To find the User ID in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, go to the RedHat System menu. Select Administration > Users and Groups and open up the User Manager. The User Manager will have all the users set up on the Linux Server. Below is screen capture of the User ID Tab.
Group ID:
The default value in this field is set to 100. Modify this value to the Group ID of the excelsw user profile. If the GCEMS system has been purchased through Dialogic, the Group ID for the Dialogic profile is set to 500. To find the Group ID in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, go to the RedHat System menu. Select Administration > Users and Groups and open up the User Manager. The User Manager will have all the users set up on the Linux Server. Below is screen capture of the Group ID Tab.
Network Interface:
The Network Interface field has a drop down menu that displays the IP addresses of all the interfaces configured under the IP Network object on the IMG. Select which interface will be used to download the files through. Typically the Control Port is used for downloading files to the IMG.
Primary Vocabulary Index File Name:
The Primary Vocabulary Index File Name field is automatically populated with the name of the default file that is downloaded to the NFS Server as part of the GCEMS installation. The default file displayed is /img_vocab.dat and is the file which contains all the default .vox files loaded on the GCEMS server. The img_vocab.dat file is located in directory /opt/dialogic/common/treatment/datafiles.
Primary Server ID:
The Primary Server ID has a drop down menu which contains the ID's of all the NFS servers that are configured under the External Network Elements object in ClientView.
Secondary Vocabulary Index File Name:
In the Secondary Vocabulary Index File field Enter the filename of the file on the secondary NFS server. This field indicates the secondary Vocabulary Index File Note: filename must start with “/” or "\\".
Secondary Server ID:
The Secondary Server ID has a drop down menu which contains the ID's of all the NFS servers that are configured under the External Network Elements object in ClientView.
There must be NFS servers configured under the External Network Elements object before the Primary and Secondary server ID can be populated from drop down menu.
NFS Timeout (default/minimum value = 500 msec)
The NFS Timeout field is used to configure the amount of time it takes the IMG to mount the NFS server to start downloading the files the IMG is requesting. Depending on the network type, the time it takes to mount the NFS server could vary. To modify, double click in the NFS Timeout (msec) field and the background of the field will change to white. At this point, highlight the default value and enter a newer value. The Timeout value that is entered can range from 500 msec (.5 seconds) to 1000 msec (1 second) and can be modified at any time.
Monitoring Fields:
Primary and Secondary Server Status fields will give the user a status of whether the NFS server is available, failed, or Not Configured.
