553-3001-202 Standard 1.00 April 2000
Exit node property configuration session
The procedure to add an ITG Trunk node on MAT manually is complete.
Press OK to save the node and card properties configuration and exit. MAT
displays the IP Telephony Gateway - ISDN IP Trunk Main window. If you
plan to manage a network of ITG ISL Trunk nodes from this MAT PC, add
the remaining ITG ISL Trunk nodes before you configure the dialing plan for
the new ITG Trunk nodes on MAT.
Create the ITG Trunk node dialing plan using MAT
In this procedure, you configure the ITG Trunk node dialing plan in MAT.
Use this procedure to create the dialing pl an for the first node in th e ne twork.
This procedure will also work to create a dialin g plan for a new no de in a very
small network. If you are adding a new node to a large exis ting network, it is
more efficient to retrieve the ITG Trunk node dialing plan from an existing
node. See “Retrieve the ITG Trunk node dialing plan using MAT” on
page 213.
A dialing plan consists of a number of ITG Trunk destination nodes and one
or more dialing plan entries for each destination node. You select a
destination node, define the destination node protocol capability, decide if
you want to enable Quality of Service (QoS) monitoring for this destin ation
node, and enter one or more ESN dialing plan entries for each destination
node. You repeat this procedure for all destination nodes in th e ITG Trunk
network.
The dialing plan information you enter in MAT must match the ESN data
entered in the Meridian1 overlays (LD15, LD16, LD86, LD87 and LD90).
You must keep the dialing plan entries c onsistent between the Meridian 1 a nd
the ITG Trunk node. Transmit the dialing plan from MAT ITG to the ITG
Trunk node during installation, car d repla cem ent, when IT G Trunk nod es ar e
added to the network, or whenever you change the di aling plan on MAT ITG.
Each ITG Trunk node shares one dialing plan for all cards in the node. The
ITG Trunk node dialing plan translates the dialed digits in the Meridian 1
ISDN Signaling Call Setup message, according to ESN translation type, into
the Node IP addresses of the ITG Trunk destination nodes.
