Media Gateway Configuration
the configuration has been changed and now you wish to return to the previous configuration,
you can import the previous configuration data back to the Media Gateway.
• Multiple unit implementation - At a site where there are multiple Media Gateway units,
much of the configuration will be the same between units (e.g. Audio Parameters, SIP
Parameters, etc.). An installer could configure the first unit, export the *.ini file, edit the unit
specific parameters in the *.ini file (e.g. IP Address) using Notepad, and then import the
modified file to the next unit. This will speed up and simplify the installation procedure at
larger sites.
• Support - If the Web interface is inaccessible to customer support, you can export the
configuration information to a *.ini file and then email the file to customer support for them to
view the configuration directly.
• Software upgrades - Normally, software upgrades will not affect the configuration. When a
major software upgrade is performed, however, existing configuration information may be
erased and default settings restored. In this scenario, the current configuration information
could be exported before the upgrade is performed and then imported back to the Media
Gateway after the upgrade. All of the previous configuration data will then be restored, except
for the new parameters, which would be at their default settings.
