Toshiba Release 4.0 manual Restarting stations or trunks, To restart a station or trunk

nRun the Robbed Bit T1 Experimenter, modify signaling information (for example, Pickup, Hangup, Digit Collection), and then enable the device to pick up the changes.

nRun ISDIAG to place an outbound call to determine the correct call parameters. You can then apply these parameters to the Strata CS registry, enable the device, and try it again.

Disabling a trunk does not allow you to modify Dialogic settings. The following restrictions on modifying Dialogic settings still apply:

nYou cannot modify Dialogic .PRM file settings and have them take effect without restarting the Dialogic drivers.

n

You cannot modify Dialogic DCM settings while the drivers are running.

You cannot disable a Dialogic board via the DCM without first stopping all devices.

Restarting stations or trunks

The Strata CS Server periodically test stations and trunks to see if they are responding. It automatically restarts stations and trunks whenever necessary. The default testing interval is 5 minutes. For information on modifying that setting or to turning it off, see Monitor Interval in the section “Strata CS Configuration Settings” in Appendix .

Some error conditions may make a trunk or station unusable, and you must restart the device manually. For example, if a single station shows the status “Reorder,” restart it to re-establish the connection to Strata CS. Generally, if the status of a device does not seem to reflect its actual status, you must restart the device.

Similarly, you can manually restart a trunk that has become unstable because of an error condition. You also restart a trunk using the Device Monitor to detect loop current on a newly added trunk before Strata CS can use it.

Both automatic and manual restarts are logged in the Windows NT Event Log.

Note: Be aware that restarting a device may take up to 30 seconds. During that time, you cannot perform any other operations in the Device Monitor.

n To restart a single device, select the device and choose Device Monitor > Restart Station or Restart Trunk.
