Nortel Networks TP-1610 SIP user manual Log Window

Mediant 2000 SIP

When a gateway resets, it first sends a BootRequest. Therefore, Reset can be used to force a BootP session with a gateway without needing to power cycle the gateway. As with any BootP session, the computer running the BootP Tool must be located on the same subnet as the controlled VoIP gateway.

B.9 Log Window

The log window (refer to Figure B-1on the previous page) records all BootP request and BootP reply transactions, as well as TFTP transactions. For each transaction, the log window displays the following information:

•Client: shows the Client address of the VoIP gateway, which is the MAC address of the client for BootP transactions or the IP address of the client for TFTP transactions.

•Date: shows the date of the transaction, based on the internal calendar of the computer.

•Time: shows the time of day of the transaction, based on the internal clock of the computer.

•Status: indicates the status of the transaction.

Client Not Found: A BootRequest was received but there is no matching client entry in the BootP Tool.

Client Found: A BootRequest was received and there is a matching client entry in the BootP Tool. A BootReply is sent.

Client’s MAC Changed: There is a client entered for this IP address but with a different MAC address.

Client Disabled: A BootRequest was received and there is a matching client entry in the BootP tool but this entry is disabled.

Listed At: Another BootP utility is listed as supporting a particular client when the Test

Selected Client button is clicked (for details on Testing a client, refer to Section B.11.4 on page 196).

Download Status: Progress of a TFTP load to a client, shown in %.

•New IP / File: shows the IP address applied to the client as a result of the BootP transaction, as well as the file name and path of a file transfer for a TFTP transaction.

•Client Name: shows the client name, as configured for that client in the Client Configuration screen.

Use right-click on a line in the Log Window to open a pop-up window with the following options:

•Reset: Selecting this option results in a reset command being sent to the client VoIP gateway. The program searches its database for the MAC address indicated in the line. If the client is found in that database, the program adds the client MAC address to the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table for the computer. The program then sends a reset command to the client. This enables a reset to be sent without knowing the current IP address of the client, as long as the computer sending the reset is on the same subnet.

Note: In order to use reset as described above, the user must have administrator privileges on the computer. Attempting to perform this type of reset without administrator privileges on the computer results in an error message. ARP Manipulation Enable must also be turned on in the Preferences window.

•View Client: Selecting this option, or double clicking on the line in the log window, opens the Client Configuration window. If the MAC address indicated on the line exists in the client database, it is highlighted. If the address is not in the client database, a new client is added with the MAC address filled out. You can enter data in the remaining fields to create a new client entry for that client.
