Appendix A MML User Interface and Command Reference

restart-softw

restart-softw

The restart-softwcommand restarts the call processing application. It applies the provisioning data specified in the configVersion (if present) that overrides the existing active provisioning data.

restart-softw[:configVersion][:confirm]

Syntax Description

 

configVersion

In configVersion, init is a keyword, and this command restarts the call

 

 

 

processing application applying the etc/GWmain.conf configuration file as

 

 

 

the provisioning data. If configVersion is an unverified provisioning

 

 

 

session, the command fails.

 

 

 

 

 

 

confirm

If there are active calls, a notification is sent to the craft, and the command

 

 

 

must be reentered with the confirm parameter to take effect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Examples

 

In the following example, the call processing application restarts using the etc/GWmain.conf

 

 

configuration files as the provisioning data:

gw mml> restart-softw:init

H323 Signaling Interface Day Mon 1 hh:mm:ss YYYY

M SUCC

Application is now restarting using the default provisioning session.

There are no active calls.

New call requests are rejected.

Call Processing now stopped.

Application will restart in 60 seconds

In the following example, the application would restart using the active provisioning session. There are no active calls, new call requests are rejected, and call processing is now stopped. The application is set to restart in 12 seconds.

gw mml> restart-softw

H323 Signaling Interface Day Mon 1 hh:mm:ss YYYY

M SUCC

In the following example, a restart passes an unverified provisioning session. The command fails. You cannot use an unverified provisioning session.

gw mml> restart-softw:config2

H323 Signaling Interface Day Mon 1 hh:mm:ss YYYY

M DENY

In the following example, a restart uses a specified verified provisioning session. The application restarts by using original as the provisioning session. There are no active calls, new call requests are rejected, and call processing is now stopped. The application is set to restart in 12 seconds.

gw mml> restart-softw:original

H323 Signaling Interface Day Mon 1 hh:mm:ss YYYY

M SUCC

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.
