Administer MultiVantage Software on the
S8300 (When Primary Controller Only)

CAUTION: This administration applies only to an S8300 that serves as the primary controller, which can be either an internal or an external S8300. If the S8300 is an LSP, do not administer MultiVantage software on it. Translations are automatically copied to the S8300 LSP from the S8700.

To continue administration of various features available to the S8300 Media Server with G700 Media Gateways, you will use the SAT tools. Among many other tasks, you will use the SAT interface to:

• Provide Ethernet access to MultiVantage
• Define the IP Network Region
• Add a Media Gateway

Note: This document covers only the administration of MultiVantage software required for the G700 Media Gateway to communicate with the primary controller over a customer's network. For the majority of administration required, see ''Administrator's Guide to MultiVantage Software, 555-233-506,'' or ''Administration for Network Connectivity for MultiVantage Software, 555-233-504.''

CAUTION: Before continuing, be sure you have saved translations in MultiVantage software (see Run Save Translations).

Reboot the System

Begin _____________________

1. Log in to the S8300 using telnet. You may already have a live telnet session available.
2. At the command prompt, type reset system 4

The system reboots.

End _______________________

Log in to the MultiVantage SAT Screens

Begin _____________________

1. If you already have a valid telnet session in progress, access the SAT program by typing sat or dsat. Go to step 4.
2. If you are not yet logged in, open a telnet program on your computer. For example:
• On a Windows system, go to the Start menu and select Run.
• To log in directly to the SAT program, type telnet <IP address> 5023
3. Log in to the MultiVantage software as craft.

Enter your login confirmation information as prompted:

• Password prompt. Type your password in the Password field, and click Login or press Enter again.
• ASG challenge. If the login is Access Security Gateway (ASG) protected, you will see a challenge screen. Enter the correct response and click Login or press Enter.
4. Enter your terminal type. Accept the default value, or enter the appropriate type for your computer. For example, you may use type ntt, a terminal type available for Windows NT4.0 or Windows 98. For Windows 2000, use w2ktt.

The SAT interface appears.

5. Enter SAT commands as appropriate.

Define the IP Network Region for the G700 Media Gateway

Begin _____________________

You must define an IP network region according to the planning documentation. Use the system defaults if the planning documentation does not specify otherwise.

For a G700 Media Gateway with an S8300 Media Server as primary controller, there will usually be one network region, defined as 1. You normally define this network region on the S8300 MultiVantage software, using the system defaults. You then assign the network region to the G700 Media Gateway.

CAUTION: Defining IP network regions can be quite complex. For detailed information on the use and administration of IP network regions, see ''Administration for Network Connectivity for MultiVantage Software, 555-233-504.''

1. At the SAT prompt, type change ip-network-region 1.

The S8300 displays the IP Network Region screen.

Figure 52. IP Network Region Screen

2. If necessary, complete the fields as described in ''Administration for Network Connectivity for MultiVantage Software, 555-233-504.''

Note: It is strongly recommended to use the defaults in the screen. However, for the RTCP Enabled and RSVP Enabled fields, the entry should be n (no).

3. Press F3 (Enter) when complete.

End _______________________

Assign the Network Region to the S8300 Media Server

Begin _____________________

1. At the SAT prompt, type change ip-interfaces.

The S8300 displays the IP Interfaces screen.

Figure 53. IP Interfaces Screen

2. The option Ethernet Port should indicate Y (yes) and the IP identity of the S8300 Media Server is provided. The Network Region should be 1.

End _______________________

Add Media Gateways

Begin _____________________

When you are logged in to MultiVantage via SAT, you will be able to add G700 Media Gateways to the system.

CAUTION: Be sure the serial number for the G700 Media Gateway you enter in this procedure matches exactly the serial number displayed in Get the Serial Number of the G700. The serial number is case-sensitive, and if entered incorrectly, will prevent the S8300 Media Server from communicating with the G700 Media Gateway. In this case, the phones won't work.

1. At the SAT prompt, type add media-gateway <number>
   where <number> is the gateway number from 1 to 9.

The S8300 displays the Media Gateway screen.

Figure 54. Add Media Gateway Screen

2. Complete the Name field with the hostname assigned to the G700 Media Gateway.
3. Complete the Identifier field with the serial number of the G700 Media Gateway. You can obtain the serial number by using the show system Media Gateway Processor CLI command at the "super" prompt. See Check the Serial Number of the G700 Media Gateway Processor for details.

CAUTION: Be sure the serial number for the G700 Media Gateway you enter in this procedure matches exactly the serial number displayed in Get the Serial Number of the G700. If entered incorrectly, the serial number will prevent the S8300 Media Server from communicating with the G700 Media Gateway.

4. Complete the Network Region field with the value supplied in the planning documentation. This number will usually match the region of the S8300, but depending on the location of the G700 and the type of endpoints connected to it, the region number may differ.
5. If specifically requested by the customer or your planning documents, type gateway-announcements in the V9 field. This field allows you to enable announcements on the G700 Media Gateway. V9 is a virtual slot. There is no announcement board associated with it. The announcements for the G700 are available in the G700 firmware and are administered in the same way as announcements on the TN2301 circuit pack used on S8700 port networks.

If there are multiple G700 Media Gateways sharing announcements, then enable announcements on the G700 whose trunks will receive the announcements most often.

6. Press F3 (Enter) to save your changes.

Note: The IP Address, MAC Address, and Module Type fields are populated automatically after the G700 Media Gateway registers with the server.

Figure 55. Media Gateway Screen (After Registration with S8700)

The Media Modules installed in the G700 are listed next to their slot numbers.

End _______________________

Verify Changes

Begin _____________________

To verify that a G700 Media Gateway has been successfully added:

1. At the SAT prompt, type list media-gateway.

Figure 56. List Media-Gateway Screen

2. Verify that the G700 Media Gateway has registered.

The y in the registered field signifies that the G700 Media Gateway has registered. If the G700 should become unregistered, the y will become an n, but the IP address will remain assigned to the G700 Media Gateway. If the G700 has never been registered, the IP Address field will be blank.

If the G700 fails to register, two common causes might be:

• The serial number added as the identifier for the G700 is wrong. To check, log back into the G700 gateway and type show system. Check the serial number that appears.
• There is no IP connection between the G700 and the S8300. To check, type show mgc and then ping mgp <controller_address>.

End _______________________

Enable Announcements, If Necessary

Begin _____________________

1. Only if specifically requested by the customer or your planning documents, at the SAT prompt, type enable announcement-board <gateway_number>V9, where <gateway_number> is the number of the G700 Media Gateway you just added and V9 is the virtual slot (for example, 2V9 means Media Gateway number 2, slot V9.
2. Press Enter to enable announcements.

The system displays the message Command successfully completed.

Save MultiVantage Translations

Begin _____________________

Save translations again after all MultiVantage administration is complete.

• At the SAT prompt, type save translations.
