Chapter 5: Media Server and Gateway Management
78 MAXCS ACC 6.5 Administration Manual
Name The name you gave the selected gateway for
easy identification.
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 determines what tone table will be
used for the gateway. Extension 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 selected gateway in the
Extension Configuration window. (Read-only
field.) This information will help you configure
sufficient resources 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 unchecked, reboot
the Softswitch machine. The Type will change to
Gateway or Media Server as appropriate.
Note: 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 telephony 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 setting needs to be changed
to A-Law.
