Chapter 5: Gateway Management

Parameter	Description
Set CT-Bus Clock	This parameter determines which telephony
	board will provide the clock signal for the TDM
	bus. If you don't have multiple T1 or E1 boards
	in a gateway, the default Auto setting is
	recommended. The system will find the
	appropriate board to supply the clock. If you
	have multiple T1 or E1 boards in a gateway, the
	system will automatically select the one with the
	lowest logical board ID as the clock source.
	However, in some circumstances, you may need
	to manually change to other boards. For
	example:
	1. If multiple T1/E1 boards are in the gateway
	and the T1/E1 board that has been selected
	automatically is not active.
	2. If the T1/E1 board that has been selected
	automatically is set up as a tie trunk to
	another system, and the T1/E1 connecting to
	the CO is on the other board.

Adding and Attaching a Gateway

Caution! Always try to attach a gateway when call activity in the system is low. If resources are being used in one of the gateways, ongoing calls may be dropped.

To attach a gateway to the AltiWare system, you must first add it to the list in the Gateway Management window.

To add a gateway to the list:

1.Click the Add button. The Add Gateway dialog box appears:

2.Set this gateway’s unique number. Each gateway in the system must have a unique identifying number.

3.Specify a name for the gateway that identifies it to you.

4.Enter the IP address of the gateway.

5.Create a password for this gateway. The password is used for access to the AltiGateway Configuration Tool for the gateway.

After you add a gateway to the list, you can attach it to the AltiWare system. Also, you may have disconnected a gateway that has already been attached. In either case, you can attach it in the Gateway Management window.
