Chapter 5: Media Server and Gateway Management
70 MAXCS ACC 6.7.1 Administration Manual
Type
Shows whether this is a media server or gateway. If the ID is
other than 00, you cannot change the type in this configuration
screen. If you want to change the type, you need to delete the
entry and recreate it. You need to have sufficient Gateway or
Media Server Licenses in order to add an entry.
Address The IP address of the selected gateway.
Password
The password assigned to the selected gateway. (Each gateway
has its own password.)
Country
The country where the gateway resides. This configuration de-
termines what tone table will be used for the gateway. Exten-
sion users assigned to this gateway will hear different off-hook
and busy tones, for example, if this parameter is set differently
from the MAXCS system setting.
Home IP Exts
The number of IP extensions that have been assigned to the se-
lected gateway in the Extension Configuration window. (Read-
only field.) This information will help you configure sufficient re
-
sources for IP phones on each gateway.
Enable Media Server
on Softswitch
On an AltiGen-certified server, you can run the Softswitch and
Media Server in the same machine. (You must have a Media
Server license.)
This option is available to gateway ID 00 if MaxAdmin is running
on the MAXCS machine.
After the box is checked or cleared, reboot the Softswitch ma-
chine. The Type will change to Gateway or Media Server as
appropriate.
This option is appropriate to a small- to medium-scale system.
CT-Bus Mode
The CT bus is the telephony switching bus that connects all te-
lephony boards inside each gateway. It can be set as Mu-Law or
A-Law. The default is Mu-Law for North America. For European
countries and regions that are using E1 digital trunk, this set
-
ting needs to be changed to A-Law.
Set CT-Bus Clock
This parameter determines which telephony board will provide
the clock signal for the TDM bus. If you don't have multiple T1
or E1 boards in a gateway, the default Auto setting is recom
-
mended. The system will find the appropriate board to supply
the clock. If you have multiple T1 or E1 boards in a gateway, the
system will automatically select the one with the lowest logical
board ID as the clock source. However, in some circumstances,
you may need to manually change to other boards. For exam
-
ple:
1. If multiple T1/E1 boards are in the gateway and the T1/E1
board that has been selected automatically is not active.
2. If the T1/E1 board that has been selected automatically is set
up as a tie trunk to another system, and the T1/E1 connect
-
ing to the CO is on the other board.
