Adding and Attaching a Gateway
Caution! Always try to attach a gateway when call activity in the system is low. If
resources are being used in one of the gateways, ongoing calls may be
dropped.
To attach a gateway to the MAXCS system, you must first add it to the list in the
Softswitch Component Configuration window.

MAXCS ACM 6.7 Administration Manual
Description
The number of IP extensions that have been assigned to the
selected gateway in the Extension Configuration window. (Read-
only field.) This information will help you configure sufficient
resources for IP phones on each gateway.
On an AltiGen-certified server, you can run the Softswitch and
Media Server in the same machine. (You must have a Media
Server license.)
This option is available to gateway ID 00 if MaxAdmin is running
on the MAXCS machine.
After the box is checked or cleared, reboot the Softswitch
machine. The Type will change to Gateway or Media Server as
appropriate.
Note: This option is appropriate to a small- to medium-scale
system.
The CT bus is the telephony switching bus that connects all
telephony boards inside each gateway. It can be set as Mu-Law or
A-Law. The default is Mu-Law for North America. For European
countries and regions that are using E1 digital trunk, this setting
needs to be changed to A-Law.
This parameter determines which telephony board will provide the
clock signal for the TDM bus. If you don't have multiple T1 or E1
boards in a gateway, the default Auto setting is recommended.
The system will find the appropriate board to supply the clock. If
you have multiple T1 or E1 boards in a gateway, the system will
automatically select the one with the lowest logical board ID as the
clock source. However, in some circumstances, you may need to
manually change to other boards. For example:
-If multiple T1/E1 boards are in the gateway and the T1/E1 board
that has been selected automatically is not active.
-If the T1/E1 board that has been selected automatically is set up
as a tie trunk to another system, and the T1/E1 connecting to the
CO is on the other board.
