Batch Files

Batch Files

The Cisco HSI application supports the use of batch files. You can create an ASCII file of MML provisioning commands for use as a batch file. You can also use a script file. When the commands are read, the Cisco HSI executes them sequentially.

The following is an example of an MML provisioning batch file:

prov-sta::srcver="new",dstver="first" prov-add:name="sys_config",nodeid="H323-GW1" prov-add:name="h323_sys",messages=30000,channels=5000 prov-add:name="ras",responsetimeout=10,allowcallswhennonreg=1 prov-add:name="ras",terminaltype=”gateway”,timetolive=900 prov-add:name="q931",reponsetimeout=20,connecttimeout=20,maxcalls=5000 prov-cpy

The prov-stacommand establishes a provisioning session. The prov-cpycommand copies configuration settings from the current provisioning session to the Cisco HSI and activates the configuration. If the command is successful, it also terminates the current provisioning session. If you are not ready to commit a session, use the prov-stpcommand to save and stop the provisioning session.

The application provides a log function (diaglog command) that records the MML commands and responses in a log file.

In the MML batch file, you can place a diaglog command at the beginning to start logging and a diaglog command at the end to stop logging. For more information about the diaglog command, see the “MML Command Reference” section on page A-7

For commands executed in both the process manager and the application, the application logs the user ID, the login date and time, and the name of each command that is executed in batch mode to the mml_batch_log file.

Note Batch files can be defined for complete systems or to modify parts of an existing system.

Creating a Batch File

To create a batch file, use an ASCII text editor program to create a new file. Each command should be on a separate line.

Starting a Batch File

To start executing a batch file, type mml -bbatchfilename at the UNIX prompt.

After you enter the batch file command, the application displays the result of each MML command as it is executed. Each command and its results are saved in the mml.log file. When the batch file is completed, the MML session is ready to accept user commands.

H.323 specifications

Cisco Systems H.323 is a set of standards designed for transmitting audio, video, and data over packet-switched networks. It is a critical technology that enables real-time communication and has become integral to the world of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) and video conferencing applications. Originally developed by the ITU-T, H.323 has been widely adopted and implemented by Cisco Systems, allowing organizations to leverage reliable and scalable communication solutions.

One of the standout features of H.323 is its ability to support interoperability among varying equipment and platforms. This means that devices from different manufacturers can communicate seamlessly, which is vital in a diverse technical environment. H.323 does this by defining protocols that handle signaling, media transport, and control, ensuring that various systems can work together effectively.

Key technologies utilized within H.323 include H.225 and H.245 signaling protocols. H.225 is responsible for call setup and management, establishing communication between endpoints. In contrast, H.245 manages the negotiation of media channels, allowing devices to configure themselves based on the capabilities of each other. This adaptability is crucial for dynamic network conditions typical in VoIP applications.

Another defining characteristic of H.323 is its support for multiple types of multimedia communication, including point-to-point and multipoint calls. This flexibility supports everything from simple audio calls to complex videoconferencing setups, where many participants can share video and audio streams concurrently. Cisco enhances this capability through its hardware and software offerings, optimizing performance for conference calls.

H.323 also features robust error resilience mechanisms. This ensures that real-time data, which is typically sensitive to delays and losses, can be transmitted with minimal disruption. Moreover, it facilitates quality of service (QoS) implementation, allowing organizations to prioritize voice and video traffic over less critical data services, thereby improving the overall user experience.

In conclusion, Cisco Systems H.323 stands out as a comprehensive solution for real-time communication over packet-based networks. Its main features, including interoperability, multimedia support, and enhanced error resilience, position it as a relevant technology in both corporate and personal communication settings. As organizations continue to adopt cloud and hybrid communication models, H.323 remains a reliable backbone for ensuring connectivity and collaboration across diverse platforms.
