CVX Multi-Service Access Switch 4.1 Release Notes
General Recommendations
We make the following recommendations for this CVX switch release:
• Before you modify the CVX switch configuration file, be sure to back up the
current configuration file (config.cvx) to a network drive in case you need to
install it again.
• Do not use embedded apostrophes in any commands at the command line
interface. For example, do not name a system “John Doe’s CVX”. Embedded
apostrophes will cause system errors.
• When you configure an E1 line for Channel Associated Signaling (CAS), the
value you set for the maxCalledDigits attribute must match the value
provisioned by the E1 service provider. If dial-up users cannot connect, or if
20 to 30 seconds pass before dial-up users connect, ensure that the
maxCalledDigits value matches the maximum number of digits in the dialed
number identification string (DNIS) received by the CVX switch.
• If you want to set up the IP interface for the first time without rebooting the
CVX switch, enter the following commands:
.../bic/ethernet 1/ethernetconfig> set ethernetenable disable
.../ethernet 1/ip_interface/ip_circuit> set ip_local <n.n.n.n>
.../bic/ethernet 1/ethernetconfig> set ethernetenable enable
• Nortel Networks recommends setting the system/ip_services/ip_service/
ip_syslog> priority attribute to disabled (whether or not the system/
ip_services/ip_service/ip_syslog> filter_level attribute is enabled). This
allows the event message severity levels from the CVX switch to display
properly in the system log.
