XECfgParm.dat File Parameters

This appendix describes the parameters found in the XECfgParm.dat file for the

Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch software Release 9.x and how they are used by the media gateway

controller (MGC).

Understanding the XECfgParm.dat File Format

The XECfgParm.dat file contains system-wide as well as system tuning parameters. All fields in this file

are written in the parm = value format. It supports a hash mark (#) in the first column to denote the entire

line as a comment.

Parameters are prefixed with a quantifier to specify the domain of the parameter. An asterisk (*)

preceding the parameter indicates that the parameter setting should be used by the entire system. A

component name limits the scope to the specified component.

XECfgParm.dat parameters are arranged syntactically as follows:

facilityName.parameterName = parameterValue
