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.

10Click Close.

IP Telephony Manager displays the entity as yellow until the operation completes. After the restart process is complete, the entity icon appears normal.

The device is also equipped with Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities, which prioritize different types of traffic to ensure that critical applications receive the bandwidth they require. This is crucial for businesses that rely on voice over IP or video conferencing, as it ensures clear and uninterrupted communication.

Management and monitoring are simplified via a user-friendly web interface, allowing network administrators to configure settings, monitor traffic, and troubleshoot issues easily. The switch supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), enabling remote management and ensuring that IT teams can respond to problems without being physically present at the location.

The 3Com 5210 is characterized by its reliability and durability. Built with robust hardware components, the switch is designed for continuous operation, suitable for both small offices and larger enterprise networks.
