[. . . ] When a Video+ unit failure occurs, a VideoPlus log file is automatically created. AUTO_IP_CARD_MONITOR This flag may be set to one of the following options: -- NO (no automatic monitoring - only manual monitoring is available) -- UNIT (traces will be automatically saved for each unit failure) -- CARD (traces will be automatically saved for each card failure) · · · If Unit or Card are selected, a file containing the trace information for each failure will be created using the name format crdmn_nn. txt, where nn is a number between 00 and 19. The files are created sequentially, cyclically, when the 20th file overwrites the first file and so on. For more information see "IP Card Diagnostic Files" on page 5-111. · RTP_SELF_RECOVERY = YES Self Recovery is an automatic process performed by the Card Manager processor resulting in a reset of the H. 323 card. When the card resets, the participants are not disconnected, and their video and audio are restored within 10 seconds. MAP_SELF_RECOVERY = YES Map Self Recovery is performed by the Card Manager processor resulting in changes in the Video+ unit. When the unit resets, the participants are not disconnected, and their video and audio are restored. · Section ALARMS · EXT_ALARM=NO This flag enables the optional external alarm on the MCU. In case of an (Minor, Major) alarm on the system, a circuit activates the alarm on the MCU. 5-63 Chapter 5 - MCU System Management Section PERFORMANCE_MONITORING · AUTO_PERFORMANCE_MONITORING=NO Enable the Automatic Performance Monitoring. Once the thresholds are for the various error conditions are exceeded, the system issues a fault message (in the Faults dialog box) and the MCU status changes from Normal to Minor). For more information see "Appendix C: Performance Monitoring NET-T1/Net-E1" on page C-1. · PERFORMANCE_MONITORING_TIMEOUT=60 The performance monitoring time-out. Section UTIL PASSWORD · PSOS_NET_UTIL = YES PSOS (OS) Utilities Tasks (Shell, FTP & Telnet), Can be used in case customer prefers to disable FTP & Telnet due to security issues. (Applicable only for pSos and not for XPEK. · FTP_LOGIN = NO When set to YES, enables password verification for FTP Sessions, otherwise, a password is not required. In the IP Terminal type login then password (in the same command line). ALLOW_ORDINARY_OPERATOR_TO_CHANGE_ITS_OWN_ PASSWORD = YES When set to YES enables the Operator with "ordinary permission" to change his own password. The Operator with "superuser permission" can change all operator's passwords. When the flag is set to NO, no operator will be able to change passwords, only delete and create new ones. · · Section XPEK · CREATE_DUMP_FILE_WHEN_EXCEPT = YES Used for debugging purposes ­ start the debugger in case of exception. · SILENT_MODE = YES Set this flag to YES (default) to increase MGC unit security. As a hacking preventive measure, the MCU is set to Silent Mode in order to 5-64 MGC Administrator's Guide ignore pings. For more information about Silent Mode see, "XPEK Silent Mode" on page 5-34. Section SNMP · SNMP = NO Enables SNMP for the MCU system. · SNMP_TRAP_LEVEL = MINOR Define Trap level settings according to the type of severity: MAJOR, MINOR, NEVER. For more information about Traps see "Status Trap Content" on page 5-43. SNMP_TRAP_INTERVAL = 60 Defines the interval in seconds between each trap. For more information about Trap Intervals see, "Status Trap Timer" on page 5-43. · Section MCU_CLOCKING Defines the clock source type on the MCU, only one clock source per system is possible, when more than one clock source is defined, the ISDN clock is the default. Four types of clock sources can be implemented on MCU: · · · · · ISDN_CLOCK = YES ATM_CLOCK = NO INTERNAL_CLOCK = NO MPI_CLOCK = NO SYSTEM_NORMAL_WITH_SINGLE_CLOCK_SOURCE = YES Set to this flag to YES allowing the MCU's status to be NORMAL, even if there is only a single clock source. Section LAN · DRIVER_SMC = NO The controller auto detects the NIC card type, when a fault is detected the default (flag value = NO) is implemented: NO = SMC Driver, YES = 3COM or Intel Driver. [. . . ] SIP servers fulfills three main functions: · Proxy services--Deliver packets to their correct destinations. Each network has a proxy(ies) that is an administration entity for the incoming/outgoing traffic. Registration--List the aliases of SIP entities with their associated IP addresses. Presence--Some proxies provide presence tracking of registered aliases/ participants. [. . . ]
