MG – Configure MGC
IMPORTANT

A UCX MGC pre-programmed compact flash containing the correct loadware can be purchased from E-MetroTel in order to be supported.

You can purchase MGC(s) and MGXPEC(s) from E-MetroTel. E-Metrotel reserves the right to refuse support if you program it yourself. However, the process for installing the proper MGC loadware is described in MGC Loadware Creation.

Configuring existing MGC with ELAN connectivity

If this is an existing MGC card with network connectivity, perform the following steps:

  1. Login to MGC. 
  2. Enter the command mgcsetup
  3. Step through the prompts until you get to Primary CS IP
  4. Enter the UCX server IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.200) at this prompt.
    Note: the UCX Server can be located remotely from the MGC. In the case of a remote UCX Server, enter the External IP address of the UCX.
  5. Proceed through the rest of the prompts without any changes.
  6. Reboot the MGC card.
CODE

ldb> mgcsetup
ELAN IP : 192.168.1.210
ELAN subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
ELAN gateway IP : 192.168.1.1
Primary CS IP : 192.168.1.100 ? 192.168.1.200

Configuring a New MGC card

If this is a new MGC card with no network connectivity, perform the following steps:

  1. Connect to MGC card via the serial port. 
  2. Enter the command mgcsetup to configure the MGC ELAN parameters
  3. Configure the UCX server IP address at Primary CS IP prompt (e.g. 192.168.1.200)
    Note: the UCX Server can be located remotely from the MGC. In the case of a remote UCX Server, enter the External IP address of the UCX.
  4. Proceed through the rest of the prompts without any changes.
  5. Reboot the MGC card.
CODE

ldb> mgcsetup
ELAN IP : 192.168.1.210
ELAN subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
ELAN gateway IP : 192.168.1.1
Primary CS IP : 192.168.1.200

MGC Registration with UCX Server

After configuration of the MGC is complete, the card will register with the UCX Server. The MGC faceplate will display the configured superloop and shelf.

The MGCs LDB shell command mgcinfoshow will display the configured parameters, as seen in the example below:

CODE

ldb> mgcinfoshow
Registration Status: Registered on 192.168.1.200
UpTime: 0 days, 02 hours, 03 minutes, 08 seconds

MGC Hostname: MGC
MGC ELAN IP Address: 192.168.1.210
MGC Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
MGC Gateway Address: 192.168.1.1

MGC TLAN IP Address: 192.168.1.212
MGC Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
MGC Default GW: 192.168.1.1

Primary CS Hostname: ucx50.emetrotel
Primary CS IP Address: 192.168.1.200

DB1 NT code: NTDW64AA
DB1 TLAN IP Address: 192.168.1.214
DB1 TN: 008 0 11

DB2 NT code: NTDW62AA
DB2 TLAN IP Address: 192.168.1.215
DB2 TN: 008 0 0

Media Gateway Information
  Superloop Shelf: 008 0
  TDS Loop: 110 111
  CONF Loop: 112 113

Active TLAN port: Port 7 = 2T Bottom face plate connector
TLAN port designator: 2T
TLAN set to 100Mbps full duplex.

Active ELAN port: Port 6 = 1E Second from bottom face plate connector
ELAN port designator: 1E
ELAN set to auto negotiate.
ELAN security Disabled

The TLAN IP and DSP daughterboard IP parameters entered in the UCx Media Gateway panel must match the MGC configuration as displayed via the mgcinfoshow command.

If the TLAN IP parameters do not match the values entered in the UCx Media Gateway panel, speech path will be affected.

MGC specific information
