The following is the recommended method to create the “dummy” ITG node .
1In MAT Navigator add a site named “Retrieve ITG data.”
2Add system named “Dummy,” of type “Meridian 1,” under the site
named “Retrieve ITG data.”
3Add Customer Number “99” on the “dummy” Meridian 1 system.
When you need to view the data of a real ITG node, select the “dummy” node
and change the management IP address in the node properties to access th e
needed node. Use the menu Configuration | Synchronize | Retrieve funct ion
to retrieve data from that node and overwrite the dummy node’s data.
Configuration audit
In this procedure, you retrieve the card properties and dia ling pla n from each
card in the selected nod es . MAT compares the retr ie ved data with the card
properties and dialing plan currently stored in the MAT database. MAT
provides a report that shows cards where the data matches and cards where
the data is different. To view the differences, use the menu Configure | Node
| Add to add a temporary node. Then use the menu Configure | Synchr onize
| Retrieve to retrieve the card properties or dialing plan from the selected
card. Double-click on the temporary node to view the card properties and
open the dialing plan for the temporary node to view the dialing pl an entri es.
Compare the data with the prope rties and diali ng p lan for th e curre nt ly stored
node in MAT.
Retrieve ITG configuration information from the ITG node
You can use this optional procedure when you:
• add an IT G node on MAT by retrieving an existing node
• kn ow that the ITG node configuration on the ITG card is different from
the MAT ITG database (e.g., during maintenance and fault isolation
procedures).
• ha ve multiple MAT PCs with multiple instances of the database
(administration).
