AltiWare ACC 5.2 Administration Manual
Adding and Attaching a Gateway
Caution!
Always try to attach a gateway when call activity in the system is low . If
resources are being used in one of the gateways , ongoing calls may be
dropped .
To attach a gateway to the AltiWare system, you must first add it to the list in the
Gateway Management window.
To add a gateway to the list:
1. Click the Add button. The Add Gateway dialog box appears:
2. Set this gateway’s unique number. Each gateway in the system must have a unique
identifying number.
3. Specify a name for the gateway that identifies it to you.
4. Enter the IP address of the gateway.
5. Create a password for this gateway. The password is used for access to the
AltiGateway Configuration Tool for the gateway.
After you add a gateway to the list, you can attach it to the AltiWare system. Also, you
may have disconnected a gateway that has already been attached. In either case, you
can attach it in the Gateway Management window.
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
recommended. 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
example:
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 connecting to
the CO is on the other board.
