WLM1200-RMTS™ User Guide

Software Description

The RingMaster appliance runs on the Linux operating system. The WLM1200-RMTS does not provide

any means of accessing the OS shell to run arbitrary commands.

CLI

A Command Line Interface (CLI) is provided through a serial port. This interface allows configuration of

platform-related settings and is equivalent to that of the platform configuration Web interface. The CLI

provides a subset of the functionality provided by the Web interface. For details, see Using The Command

Line Interface below.

Web

The WLM1200-RMTS supports a Web interface for configuring RingMaster tunables plus a new interface

for configuring platform-related settings like networking, date/time, etc. The RingMaster configuration Web

interface is accessed via HTTPS on port 443. You have the option as to whether or not access control

should be enabled for this interface. The WLM1200-RMTS's platform configuration Web interface is

accessed via HTTPS on port 8003. Links in both interfaces allow navigation between the two. Access

control is always enabled for the platform configuration Web interface. There are two users — admin and

monitor — defined for the platform settings Web interface.

Image Upgrade

WLM1200-RMTS software is distributed as a single image containing both the OS and the RingMaster

application. The installation procedure is based on an active/standby partitioning scheme where the new

software is setup in the standby partition. The system does not reboot itself as part of an upgrade. The

upgrade sets up the standby partition. You must make upgrades effective by manually rebooting the

system. If anything goes wrong during an installation procedure, the system resorts to running the

previously active partition.

A Web-based mechanism is also provided for you to manually revert to the previously active partition at

any time. If this revert operation is invoked, the state of the RingMaster application (plans and monitoring

database) also reverts to the state at which the previous installation occurred.

Factory Reset

The WLM1200-RMTS supports a CLI-based mechanism to reset the platform and RingMaster application

settings back to default settings. This operation does not affect the executable software running on the

appliance. It resets the configuration to a default state compatible with currently active software. Any

existing RingMaster plans as well as the monitoring database are cleared as part of this operation. All

licensing information is also deleted.

A mechanism is provided to reset the admin password should you forget it. This mechanism is only

provided through the CLI on the serial port. The reset operation does not affect any other platform

configuration other than the password.
