Cisco VG248 Gateway Configuration Settings

Table 61-9 lists configuration settings for the Cisco VG248 Gateways.
Table 61-9 Cisco VG248 Gateway Configuration Settings
Field

Description
MAC Address
Enter the last 10 digits of the Media Access Control (MAC) address for the Cisco VG248.

Only one MAC address exists for the Cisco VG248 Analog Phone Gateway, but Cisco CallManager requires unique MAC addresses for all devices. When only 10 digits of the MAC address are entered, Cisco CallManager can use the MAC address for the gateway and append additional information to it to create the MAC addresses for the VGC phones.

The conversion of the MAC address for each device occurs by adding the two-digit port number to the end of the MAC address (to the right of the number) and adding VGC at the beginning of the MAC address.
EXAMPLE
MAC Address for the Cisco VG248 is
0039A44218
the MAC address for registered port 12 in
Cisco CallManager is
VGC0039A4421812
Description

Cisco CallManager automatically provides this information by adding VGCGW immediately in front of the MAC address.

Load Information

Enter the firmware version for the Cisco VG248 that is being configured; otherwise, leave blank to use the default.

Installed Ports

48 PORTS

From the list of endpoint identifiers, choose one of the ports to configure the VGC_Phone ports.

Table 61-10 Cisco IOS SCCP Gateway Configuration Settings
Field

Description
MAC Address (last 10 Characters)
Enter the last 10 digits of the Media Access Control (MAC) address for the gateway. Use the MAC address of the interface that the sccp local IOS command specifies on the gateway. Valid characters include the digits 0 through 9 and the uppercase characters A through F.

The conversion of the MAC address for each device occurs by adding the three-digit mapping of the slot/subunit/port to the end of the MAC address (to the right of the number).
EXAMPLE
MAC Address for the gateway is
0006D7E5C7
The MAC address in Cisco CallManager is
0006D7E5C7281
where 281 is the three-digit mapping of the 
slot/subunit/port.
The values 2,8 and 1 can be hex digits and each do not necessarily 
correspond to slot, subunit and port values.
The system inserts the following two-character strings before the MAC address to indicate the phone device types:

•BR—BRI phone

•AN—Analog phone

The system also inserts SKIGW for the gateway name.
Description

Cisco CallManager automatically provides this information by adding SKIGW immediately in front of the MAC address. You can override the description.

Cisco CallManager Group

From the drop-down list box, choose a Cisco CallManager redundancy group.

A Cisco CallManager redundancy group includes a prioritized list of up to three Cisco CallManagers. The first Cisco CallManager in the list serves as the primary Cisco CallManager. If the primary Cisco CallManager is not available or fails, the gateway attempts to connect with the next Cisco CallManager in the list, and so on.

Installed Voice Interface Cards

Note You must specify the beginning port number for some VICs. For example, if the VIC in Subunit 0 begins at 0 and has two ports (0 and 1); then, the VIC in Subunit 1 must begin at a port number greater than 1 and have two ports (2 and 3 or 4 and 5).

Note The correct number of slots displays for each model of SCCP gateway.

Module in Slot 0
Module in Slot 1
Module in Slot 2
Module in Slot 3

(and so on)

For each available slot on the chosen SCCP gateway, choose the type of module that is installed. The following modules are supported.

Network Modules (with VIC slots):

•NM-2V—Has two VICs, one in Subunit 0 and one in Subunit 1 for FXS-SCCP.

•NM-HD-2V—Has two VIC slots, one in Subunit 0 and one in Subunit 1 for FXS-SCCP or for BRI-NT/TE-SCCP.

•NM-HD-2VE—Has two VIC slots, one in Subunit 0 and one in Subunit 1 for FXS-SCCP or for BRI-NT/TE-SCCP

Network Modules (no VIC slots):

•NM-HDA-4FXS—has 4 FXS directly without VIC and can be extended by up to two expansion modules EM-HDA-8FXS to support 16 FXS ports.

•EM-HDA-8FXS—expansion module for the NM-HDA-4FXS

Voice Interface Cards:

•VIC-2FXS

•VIC-4FXS

•VIC2-2FXS

•VIC2-2BRI-NT/TE

At the slot level, there are four options.

•NM-2V—2 subunits options VIC-2FXS-SCCP

•NM-HD-2V— 2 subunits options VIC-4FXS-SCCP, VIC2-2FXS-SCCP, VIC2-2BRI-NT/TE-SCCP

•NM-HD-2VE—2 subunits options VIC-4FXS-SCCP, VIC2-2FXS-SCCP, VIC2-2BRI-NT/TE-SCCP

•NM-HDA—3 subunits options NM-HDA-4FXS-SCCP, EM-8FXS-EM0-SCCP, EM-8FXS-EM1-SCCP.

In NM-HDA, these are not true VICs, The VIC2-2BRI-NT/TE is the only VIC for BRI SCCP phones. Vg224 GW is different from all others

The following option supports only one slot:

•ANALOG—1 subunit option 24FXS-SCCP (supports 24 FXS ports)

The option None means there is no network modules installed.

Modifying Gateways and Ports

Using Cisco CallManager, you perform the following tasks identically regardless of the gateway type:

•Using Dependency Records

•Deleting Gateways

•Resetting and Restarting Gateways

•Updating Gateways and Ports

Using Dependency Records

Gateways and ports use a variety of configuration information such as partitions, device pools, and directory numbers. Before updating or deleting gateways or ports, you can find configuration information about that gateway and port by using the Dependency Records link. For more information about this link, see the "Dependency Records" appendix.

Deleting Gateways

Complete the following steps to delete a gateway from Cisco CallManager.

Before You Begin

If you try to delete a gateway that a route group is using, Cisco CallManager displays a message.To find out which route groups are using the gateway, click the Dependency Records link from the Gateway Configuration window. If the dependency records are not enabled for the system, the dependency records summary window displays a message. For more information about dependency records, see the "Accessing Dependency Records" section on page A-3. Before deleting a gateway that is currently in use, you must perform either or both of the following tasks:

•Assign a different gateway to any route groups that are using the gateway that you want to delete. See the "Adding Devices to a Route Group" section.

•Delete the route groups that are using the gateway that you want to delete. See the "Deleting a Route Group" section.

Procedure

Step 1 Choose Device > Gateway.

The Find and List Gateways window displays.

Step 2 To locate a specific gateway, enter search criteria.

Step 3 Click Find.

A list of discovered gateways that matches your search criteria displays.

Step 4 Check the check box next to the gateway that you want to delete.

Step 5 Click Delete Selected.

A message displays that states that you cannot undo this action.

Step 6 To delete the gateway, click OK or to cancel the operation, click Cancel.

Tip You can delete all the gateways in the window by checking the check box in the matching records title bar and clicking Delete Selected.

Note Restarting or resetting an H323 gateway does not physically restart/reset the gateway; it only reinitializes the configuration that was loaded by Cisco CallManager. When you reset any other gateway type, Cisco CallManager automatically drops the calls that are using the gateway. When you restart any other gateway type, Cisco CallManager attempts to preserve the calls that are using the gateway.
