Multi-Gateway Administration (MGA)
The configuration of a large number of gateways, in particular, can cost administrators consid-
erable time and effort, and so can – even only minor – modifications to a configuration.
HG 1500 therefore supports the distribution of configurations from a master gateway to any
number of slave gateways.
Prerequisites
In order to use Multi-Gateway Administration (MGA), no special hardware or software prereq-
uisites are required on the gateways involved. However, the following conditions for configura-
tion must be met:
●
All slave gateways must be able to be accessed by the master gateway via IP.
●
The port used for WBM must have the same number on each gateway (usually 8085) and
must be accessible from the master gateway. Therefore, access must not be blocked by a
firewall, for example.
●
All slave gateways must have a user access for MGA. All accesses must have the same
name and password. This access must have root access privileges.
●
The slave gateways must be entered on the master gateway. (The list of slave gateways
can also be imported by another master gateway, if necessary)
Using MGA
The administrator first configures the master gateway as required. He then uses a command
to transfer this configuration data to slave gateways. The administrator can specify individually
to which slave gateways the data will be transferred and also select which configuration tables
will be transferred.

Quality of Service in HG 1500
Quality of Service encompasses various methods for guaranteeing certain transmission prop-
erties in packet-oriented networks (IP).
It is thus important, for example, to ensure a minimum bandwidth for Voice over IP for the entire
duration of the transfer operation. If multiple applications with equal rights are operating via IP,
then the available bandwidth for the transmission path (for example an ISDN B channel, 64
Kbps) is split. In this case, a voice connection may experience packet losses which can reduce
voice quality.
HG 1500 uses various different procedures to implement Quality of Service.
