Appendix A MML User Interface and Command Reference

prov-stp

The MML command shown in the following example starts a provisioning session, opens the existing configuration named ver1, and saves the updated configuration as ver2:

gw mml> PROV-STA::SRCVER="ver1", DSTVER="ver2"

Related Commands

Command

Description

 

prov-add

Adds a component.

 

 

 

 

prov-cpy

Activates the configuration settings in the current provisioning

 

 

session.

 

 

 

 

prov-dlt

Deletes a provisioned component.

 

 

 

 

prov-ed

Modifies a provisioned component.

 

 

 

 

prov-exp

Exports the current configuration of the Cisco HSI in MML

 

 

command form to a file or files.

 

 

 

 

prov-rtrv

Retrieves information about an existing provisioning session.

 

 

 

 

prov-stp

Terminates either a specified provisioning session or the current

 

 

provisioning session.

 

 

 

prov-stp

The prov-stpcommand terminates the provisioning session and saves the configuration.

prov-stp:confirm prov-stp:session name:confirm

Syntax Description

 

session name

Use the rtrv-mmlcommand to retrieve the MML name given to the MML

 

 

 

process that started the provisioning session.

 

 

 

 

 

 

confirm

If no confirm option is entered, the command is rejected and a message

 

 

 

notifies you of the potential performance impact of this command.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Usage Guidelines

 

You can use the name given to an MML session to stop a provisioning session. Each MML session (not

 

 

Telnet) gets an MML name: for example, mml1 or mml2. The maximum number of allowable MML

 

 

sessions is 12.

 

If you log in to the Cisco HSI from an MML session and start a provisioning session (for example, gw mml> prov-sta:srcver=new,dstver=uk9), you can use the MML name (for example, mml2) to stop the session with prov-stp(for example, prov-stp:mml2:confirm).

Use the rtrv-mmlcommand to display all active MML sessions (see rtrv-mml, page A-29).

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.
