Restarting Other Entities You can restart the Gatekeepers, Back-end Servers, and SIP Proxy Servers
gracefully or by a hard restart. A graceful restart closes all open applications on
the server, closes the operating system, and then restarts the computer, just as
if you restarted the computer from the Windows Start menu. A hard restart
closes the applications, processes, and operating system all at once, just as if
you removed power from the computer. We DO NOT recommend executing a
hard restart.
To restart the Gatekeeper, Back-end Servers, and SIP Proxy Server:
1Using IP Telephony Manager, open the Media Gateway chassis.
2Click File, and then click Open.
3Select the entity you are configuring from the Device List.
4Click OK.
5Select the entity icon.
6From the IP Telephony Manager Console window, select Configuration, then
Actions/Commands.
7When prompted to select an entity, click Windows NT/OS in the list box, and
then click OK.
8From the Command to execute menu, select Graceful restart
(recommended) or Hard restart.
9Click Execute and wait for a successful completion of the command.
10 Click Close.
IP Telephony Manager displays the entity as yellow until the operation
completes. After the restart process is com plete, the entity icon appears
normal.
