GENERAL

General
The Console port on the Media Gateway front panel is for maintenance
and configuration. It can be monitored during boot and a wide range of
parameters on the Media Gateway can be configured using the Console
port in boot mode. After a boot-up the Linux Operating System (OS) will
be active and a Linux shell will be accessible by using the Console port.
This document only covers a few commands and parameters.
Warning! The Console port is for maintenance only. You should have
high knowledge about the Media Gateway before using the Console
port.

Communication Setup
The Media Gateway Console port communicates with 9600 bits/sec, 8
data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. Use any applicable software for serial
console communication (for example, Kermit or Hyper terminal).

Configuration

3.1

Prerequisites
The Media Gateway needs to access the Telephony Server for the
system to be able to boot up to a fully running Telephony system. The
access is also needed for the Media Gateway to be able to update the
necessary boot modules. Before starting and booting the Media
Gateway software a correct IP-address for eth0 and all related
IP-addresses, like Default Gateway and NFS Server, also need to be
configured.
Note: If the Telephony Server is using the default address 192.168.1.10
to the Media Gateway, no configuration of the Media Gateway is
needed. It is already configured from factory.
The second interface, eth1, on the Media Gateway is set by the Telephony Server.

Procedures

3.2.1

Enter Boot Mode

Connect an I/O (keyboard and monitor) unit to the Console port with
a serial cable.

Power-up or reboot the Media Gateway.

When promted Hit any key before CR to abort press the space
bar and <enter>.

Login to the unit.

User: egxap Password: 1egxap

Now you are in boot mood and can configure the necessary parameters.

3.2.2

Change IP-Address
Enter the command setpar eth0_ip <IP-address>/<netmask in CIDR
format> Example: setpar eth0_ip 192.168.5.35/24
To check the new values enter the command dispar . Example: dispar
Output example: ROJ_rev* R2B ROJ_num* ROJ 208 0031/1 ROJ_ser*
T013122888 eth0_mac* 00:01:EC:B4:42:58 eth1_mac*
00:01:EC:B4:42:59 BFJ_rev* R2B BFJ_num* BFJ 901 03 BFJ_ser*
T013154369 eth0_ip 192.168.5.35/24 eth1_ip 192.168.1.160/28
Note: If some parameters are not specified in the configuration area the
default values are used by the software.
5.1 Default Parameter Settings on page 5
Save the parameters by use the command savepar. Example: savepar

3.2.3

Change or Set Default Route

Enter the command setpar def_route <IP-address> Example: setpar
def_route 192.168.5.1
To check the new values enter the command dispar . For an example,
3.2.2 Change IP-Address on page 4 . Save the parameters by use the
command savepar. For an example, 3.2.2 Change IP-Address on page
4.

3.2.4

Change NFS Server IP-Address

Enter the command setpar nfs_server <nfs_server IP-address>
Example: setpar nfs_server 192.168.5.41 Example: dispar Output

3.2.5

Restart the System in Boot Mode

When the parameters have been reconfigured the Media Gateway must
be restarted for its modified parameters to take effect. Enter the
command restart . Example: restart
The Media Gateway will restart to become operational with the Telephony Server.
