Installing a New G700 without an S8300
Administer Communication Manager
Installation and Upgrades for G700 and S8300 207
December 2003
CAUTION:
Before administering a media gateway, make sure that the gateway has been fully configured.
Add Media Gateway
1At the SAT prompt, type add media-gateway <number>
where <number> is the gateway number from 1 to n . (n is 50 for an S8300 and 250 for an S8500
or S8700).
The S8300 displays the Media Gateway screen.
Add Media Gateway Screen
2Complete the Name field with the hostname assigned to the G700 Media Gateway.
3Complete the Identifier field with the serial number of the G700 Media Gateway. You can obtain
the serial number by typing the show system command at the MGP command line.
CAUTION:
Be sure the serial number for the G700 Media Gateway you enter in this procedure matches
exactly the serial number displayed in the show system command. The serial number is case-
sensitive, and if entered incorrectly, will prevent the S8300 Media Server from
communicating with the G700 Media Gateway.
4Complete the Network Region field with the value supplied in the planning documentation.
5If specifically requested by the customer or your planning documents, type gateway-
announcements in the V9 field. This field allows you to enable announcements on the G700
Media Gateway. V9 is a virtual slot. There is no announcement board associated with it. The
announcements for the G700 are available in the G700 firmware and are administered in the same
way as announcements on the TN2301 circuit pack used on S8500 or S8700 port networks.
If there are multiple G700 Media Gateways sharing announcements, then enable announcements
on the G700 whose trunks will receive the announcements most often.
6Press F3 (ENTER) to save your changes.
If properly administered, the G700 should register with the primary controller within 1–2
minutes. The IP Address, MAC Address, and Module Type fields are populated automatically
after the G700 Media Gateway registers with the server.
7Type change media-gateway to view the Media Gateway form.
