6. The DHCP server provides the new IP address.
7. The AlliedView NMS uses DHCP Listener to discover the RG (its IP, and Circuit ID attributes such as MAC) in the
RGMgmt VLAN.
8. The AlliedView NMS telnets to the RG, and using CLI it configures the RG and saves this to FLASH on the RG.
9. The user should then connect the LAN devices.
Note: At this point, the RG can provide service if it has been already been pre-provisioned using the Triple Play
Customer form. (This form is made easy to fill out if iMG/RG and port profiles have already been defined.)
This information is then downloaded to the device and so service can begin. The user has the option,
however, to not pre-provision the Triple Play customer form. In this case, the RG is not ready to provide
service; the user fills out the form and puts the RG into service once the form is filled out and applied.
Once the AlliedView NMS has this information, it can create an iMG/RG icon on the AlliedView NMS. Note that the RG is not
included on the Physical Map, but in the RG’s subnetwork. The RG is also placed in the Network Inventory view under iMG/
RGs, and includes the slot.port of its upstream iMAP.
Note: The Management IP address of the discovered iMG/RG is listed on the Network Inventory table. If the iMG/
RG sends traps with a source IP address which is not the Management IP address, the resulting alarm will
display this IP source and it may not be able to be mapped to the iMG/RG.
7.2.6.6 Discovering Voice Subnets (GenBand, MGC Protocol)
When the voice components are provisioned correctly, all components that are part of VoIP communicate with each other so
that dial tone comes up when the RG is plugged in and configured for voice. Moreover, the configuration dynamically updates
itself, as IP addresses for voice are renewed/changed for the RG. (The user should be able to swap the RG, and after all compo-
nents are discovered, the RG can communicate with the voice subnet and dial tone is re-established.)
