In most cases, the Media Gateway Controller (MGC) migration is carried out using the ProVision tools, and no administrative operation is required.
For more information, see the ProVision documentation.
You can validate and change the configuration using System Manager.
Use the following procedure to add a new MGC to a Device Adapter solution. MGCs that are migrated using ProVision from a CS 1000 solution do not require this configuration.
  1. Log on to System Manager using the appropriate administrative credentials.
  2. Navigate to ServicesInventory.
  3. Click Manage Elements.
  4. On the Manage Elements tab, click New.
  5. On the New Elements page, on the General tab, in the Type field, click Device Adapter Media Gateway.
  6. On the Add Device Adapter Media Gateway page, on the General tab, specify the configuration information for the MGC or MG-XPEC.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    In the Loop/Shelf field, specify the first two parts of the TN. For example, TN 20-1-3-14, refers to loop 20, shelf 1, card 3, and unit 14 on the card.
    In the ELAN IP field, specify the ELAN IP address that is used to communicate with Device Adapter.
    In the DSP DB1 IP and DSP DB2 IP fields, specify the DSP daughterboard IP addresses. One daughterboard cannot support an entire MGC if it is fully populated. An MGC with some cards unused can use a single daughterboard.
  7. On the Device Adapter tab, specify the cluster information.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    You must specify the primary cluster. The other alternate clusters are used only for redundancy.
  8. On the VoIP tab, specify the media stream information.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    This includes supported codecs, options in those codecs, and the codec preference (first, second, third).
  9. On the Analog Sets tab, specify the information for analog endpoints.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    These settings typically do not change. But, you can edit the information such as DTMF parameters and CLASS endpoint settings.
  10. On the Miscellaneous tab, specify the information such as labels in alarm reports.
  11. Click Commit.
  12. Open Avaya Breeze® platform.
  13. Select ConfigurationAttributes from the menu.
  14. Select the Service Clusters tab.
  15. Select the applicable cluster in the Cluster field.
  16. Select Device Adapter in the Service field.
  17. Navigate to the IP Telephony Node section.
  18. Locate the Node Id attribute.
  19. Select Override Default.
  20. Enter the applicable Node ID in the Effective Value field.
  21. Click Commit.
