Configuration Checklist

Note: Before changing the configuration of a running system, always back up the current configuration using the System> Config> Create Backup command.

The following checklist summarizes the minimum configuration steps required to get the PowerMedia WMS up and running.

1. Configure the Network Interfaces (Network> Configure> Interface):

• Assign IP addresses.

• Select an interface to be used for RTP traffic.

• Add routes to the interfaces (Network and Routes).

2. Check the PowerMedia WMS default parameter settings:

• Check audio codec settings (PowerMedia WMS> Configure> Codec> Audio).

• Check video codec settings (PowerMedia WMS> Configure> Codec> Video).

• Check RESTful Web Server settings (PowerMedia WMS> Configure> RESTful Web Server).

• Check CPU monitoring settings (PowerMedia WMS> Configure> Media Engine).

3. Reboot the host to ensure all configuration changes take effect:

• Select System> Reboot Host.

4. Test the interfaces:

• From another system, ping the IP address of each interface.

• From the PowerMedia WMS, use the Network> Utilities> Ping command to verify that the PowerMedia WMS can access the network.

After these configuration steps have been done, the PowerMedia WMS can accept calls.

System Files Updated

Dialogic recommends using the Web UI (administrator access level) to configure the PowerMedia WMS. The following system files are updated during configuration.

• /etc/hosts (snow-sip, snow-rtp and snow-mrcp get added) 

•  /etc/resolve.conf (DNS servers) 

• /etc/ntp.conf and /etc/ntp/step-tickers (NTP servers) 

• /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth(x) (interface configuration settings) 

If you create routes on the PowerMedia WMS:

•   /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth(x) 

•  /opt/snowshore/etc/snmp.conf and /etc/snmp/snmp.conf (snmp) 

You can manually update these files, but be careful because if you manually update a parameter and later change the parameter using the Web UI, you can create a conflict.
