Configuring the Software

The configuration files shipped with Video Access Toolkit 3G-324M over IP correspond to this configuration (two TX boards and one CG 6565 board).

SS7 configuration files and boot script files are provided with Video Access Toolkit 3G-324M over IP to help configure the TX boards. The files are located in the following directories:

Operating system	Directory	Description
Windows	\nms\vaccess\demos\vmsamp\bicc_config\bicc	TX board configuration files
Windows	\nms\vaccess\demos\vmsamp\bicc_config\boot	Boot script files
Unix	opt/nms/vaccess/demos/vmsamp/bicc_config/bicc	TX board configuration files
Unix	opt/nms/vaccess/demos/vmsamp/bicc_config/boot	Boot script files

To use these files, copy the bicc directory to:

Program Files\dialogic\tx\config\standalone directory (Windows)
/opt/dialogic/tx/etc/standalone directory (Unix)

Copy the batch file located in boot directory into:

Program Files\dialogic\tx\bin directory (Windows)
/opt/dialogic/tx/bin directory (Unix)

File	Description
biccsigtranload.bat	Configures and loads the TX boards with SIGTRAN and BICC. This is the configuration that is supported in the context of 3G-324M over IP feature.

Configuration Procedure

Complete the following procedure after the boards are connected:

Change the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address settings in the CG 6565 board configuration file (vm_6565_ip324m.cfg ) to match the settings in your network. Note that two different IP addresses are used (one per Ethernet Interface).

The following example shows the IP address settings whose values you must change:

################################################################
#
# IP Address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address.
# Note: the IP configuration below is for a Ethernet Failover
# THIS CONFIGURATION FILE WILL FAIL UNLESS THE VARIABLE STRINGS
# BELOW ARE REPLACED WITH REAL IP ADDRESSES.

IPC.AddRoute[0].DestinationAddress = 10.51.8.14
IPC.AddRoute[0].Mask = 255.255.0.0
IPC.AddRoute[0].Interface = 1

IPC.AddRoute[1].DestinationAddress = 0.0.0.0
IPC.AddRoute[1].Mask = 0.0.0.0
IPC.AddRoute[1].GatewayAddress = 10.51.0.1

IPC.AddRoute[2].DestinationAddress = 10.51.8.15
IPC.AddRoute[2].Mask = 255.255.0.0
IPC.AddRoute[2].Interface = 2

Note: Do not change values in the RESOURCE MANAGEMENT section of the configuration file. Changing these values could cause the demo to fail.

Modify the oamsys configuration file to point to the proper Product Type, Logical board number (0), PCI bus and slot, and CG6565 board configuration file (vm_6565_ip324m.cfg).
Run oamsys to reboot the CG board.
Change the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address settings for the TX boards to match the settings in your network by modifying the BICC configuration files:

ipcfg1.txt and ipcfg2.txt
M3UAcp1.cfg and M3UAcp2.cfg

Run txalarm in a console window, to monitor the TX boards status:

txalarm

Boot both of the TX boards with BICC and SIGTRAN configurations:

biccsigtranload 1
biccsigtranload 2

Check that both TX boards send an Association established successfully message to txalarm indicating that they are properly configured.
Modify the vmsamp_ip324m_bicc 3G-324M Interface configuration files (g1.cfg and g2.cfg, located in nms/vaccess/demos/vmsamp) by replacing the values in bold with values appropriate for your network.

Verify that g1.cfg is configured with Ethernet Interface 1 IP address, and g2.cfg with Ethernet Interface 2 IP address.

For a back-to-back test configuration, note that one side must be NbUP Master (h223Gw_modeNbUP = 1) and the other side NbUP Slave (h223Gw_modeNbUP = 0). For more information, refer to the Dialogic® NaturalAccess™ Video Access Toolkit 3G-324M Interface Developer's Reference Manual.

Modify the vmsamp_ip324m_bicc Video Messaging Server Interface configuration files (s1.cfg and s2.cfg) by replacing the values in bold with values appropriate for your network.

Verify that s1.cfg is configured with Ethernet Interface 1 IP address and s2.cfg with Ethernet Interface 2 IP address:
