MG – Configure MGXPEC
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 MGXPEC with ELAN connectivity

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

  1. Login to MGXPEC. 
  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 MGXPEC 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

NOTE

The MGXPEC has a mother board and daughter board so this procedure would need to be done on both.

Configuring a New MGXPEC 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

NOTE

The MGXPEC has a mother board and daughter board so this procedure would need to be done on both.

MGXPEC Registration with UCx Server

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

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

CODE

oam> mgcinfoshow
Registration Status: Registered on 192.168.10.221
UpTime: 0 days, 00 hours, 19 minutes, 47 seconds

MGC TLAN IP Address: 192.168.10.51
MGC Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
MGC Default GW: 192.168.10.1

DB2 NT code: NTDW64AA
DB2 TLAN IP Address: 192.168.10.53
DB2 TN: 012 1 8

Media Gateway Information
Superloop Shelf: 012 1
TDS Loop: 122 124
CONF Loop: 123 125

Active TLAN port: Port 7 = 2T Bottom face plate connector
TLAN port designator: E
TLAN set to auto negotiate.

Active ELAN port: Port 6 = 1E Second from bottom face plate connector
ELAN port designator: CE
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 MGXPEC 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.

MGXPEC Registration Status

  1. Login to MGXPEC . 
  2. Use the command mgcinfoshow to query MGXPEC registration status.
CODE
