Configuring the Network Services

Configuration

Installing the

MGC Manager

The Network Services include the parameters of the networks connected to the MCU. If no Network Services have been configured, depending on your system configuration, the appropriate Network Service must be configured. This section describes the configuration of both IP and ISDN networks.

For information about defining T1-CAS, MPI, NFAS ISDN, Leased lines ISDN and additional ISDN and IP Network Services, or modifying existing Network Services, refer to the MGC Administrator’s Guide, Chapter 3.

Network Services

ISDN Network Service

The Net-2/4/8 card installed in the MCU interfaces between the MGC unit and the ISDN switch. The ISDN Network Service is used to define the properties of the switch and the ISDN lines running from the switch to the ISDN card. Each group of ISDN lines having the same characteristics and originating from the same ISDN switch, will be assigned to the same ISDN Network Service.

IP Network Service

The IP Network Service defines the properties of the IP network connected to the IP+ cards (installed in the MCU). Several of the network components are used by both H.323 and SIP endpoints to connect to the conference, and the same IP+ card is used for H.323 and SIP connections. One IP Network Service, therefore, can be defined for both H.323 and SIP environments as well as an H.323-only or a SIP-only Network Service.

Defining the Network Services

The first time you connect to the MGC+ unit from the MGC Manager, the system automatically detects that no Network Service is defined in your system and automatically displays the Network Configuration Wizard to let you configure the IP and ISDN Network Services.

If the system detect an ISDN only connection to the MCU, only the ISDN Configuration dialog box opens. If an IP-only connection is detected, only the IP Configuration dialog box opens.

You can always access the Fast Configuration Wizard by right-clicking the MCU icon.
