IP Line Description, Installation and Maintenance
Note: Both the “critical” and “cleared” alarms send an SNMP trap to the
system administrator. For security reasons, these two alarms do not call
the syslog function as the other itgAlarms do, so no syslog message is
displayed on the console or written in the syslog file.
• On the Voice Gateway Media Card, the faceplate displays GO38
(ITG1038) when the ITG1038 alarm is received, since it is a critical
alarm. The ITG5038 clears GO38 from the faceplate when the 10 minute
timer expires.
Node password synchronization
The BOOTP.TAB, CONFIG.INI, and IP Phone firmware files must be the
same on all cards in the system. The cards that can be in the system are the
ITG-P 24-port line card, the Media Card 8-port and 32-port line card, and the
Signaling Server. To maintain a consistent configuration within the system,
files are transferred from Leader 0 to the Follower cards using FTP.
In order for the FTP process to work correctly, all the cards in a node must be
synchronized with the same user ID and password. Once the Voice Gateway
Media Cards are synchronized with the Call Server, the user login is
synchronized with the Call Server’s PWD1. The cards can then only be
accessed by using the Call Server’s Level 1 Password (PWD1) user ID and
password.
A card uses its user ID and password when it tries to access another card to
FTP files. The FTP fails unless all the cards have the same user ID and
password, due to failed user authentication. Therefore, a unique user ID and
password should be used within one system. Since most applications (except
the Gatekeeper) communicate directly with the Call Server, the Call Server’s
Level 1 PWD1 user ID and password is the unique password among all
platforms.
Level 1 Password (PWD1)
The minimum password length on the Call Server is four characters. The
minimum password on the Voice Gateway Media Card and the Signaling
Server is eight characters. To make the passwords match, the PWD1 is
padded at the end with spaces if the password is less than eight characters.
