Transfer node configuration from Element Manager
to the Voice Gateway Media Cards
Before beginning the node configuration transfer, ensure the following:
• The Voice Gateway Media Cards and cables have been installed.
• The ELAN and TLAN network interfaces of all cards have access to the
IP network.
• To enable access to Element Manager through a web browser, a network
PC must be able to access the node’s Signaling Server, either directly or
remotely.
The IP Telephony node and card properties are configured using Element
Manager. The configuration data is saved to the Call Server and then
transferred to the Voice Gateway Media Cards.
Saving the configuration
The configuration data is saved when the Save and Transfer button in the
Edit window is clicked. The files are saved to the Call Server. After the data
is saved, the configuration must be transferred to the Voice Gateway Media
Card. When Transfer/Status in the Edit window is clicked, Element
Manager instructs each card where to retrieve the files using FTP. The Voice
Gateway Media Card then retrieves the CONFIG.INI and BOOTP.TAB files.
Transferring the configuration - main node
For a Signaling Server node, the process to transfer the node configuration to
the cards consists of the following steps:
1Transmit the node properties. See Procedure 37 on page 405.
2Configure the Follower card. See Procedure 38 on page 411.
Note: The following sequence of steps are applicable only to nodes that
do not use the Signaling Server as the Leader card; that is, a second (or
subsequent) node is being configured on the system – not the main node.
The Signaling Server must be properly configured to use Element
Manager, so that the steps of setting and rebooting the Leader are not
needed. The Signaling Server requires a reboot only if the Signaling
Server IP address information has been changed, such as the node IP
