Chapter 4: Configuring the Avaya Conference Management Server (CMS)
Introducing CMS system configuration files
CMS system configuration files are customized to suit the requirements of each customer.
These files tell the CMS where to find hardware resources and how they are configured. These
files are read-only on system start up. If any of these files changed, the CMS addresses the
hardware in a totally different way. Under normal circumstances, there is no reason for anyone
other than the Installation Engineer to make changes to these files. The information in the
following subsections describes the contents of these configuration files for the following
reasons:
For a clear understanding of how the system is configured.
●
To optimize communications with the Avaya Support Helpdesk in the unlikely event of the
●
deletion, corruption, or incorrect alteration or any of the files.
With a small number of exceptions, all configuration files have a header line, and a trailer line.
Header lines all end with the text CONFIGURATION.All trailer lines are identical to the header
line in the same file, with the addition of the word END. Files might contain comments and blank
lines, which are ignored in processing. Comment lines have a semicolon (;) or period (.) as their
first nonblank character.
Where a file obviously contains no header and trailer, the addition of one is invalid.
Parameter lines in the file are frequently of the form PARAMETER_NAME=value.
PARAMETER_NAME is a capitalized key word. Value is one of the following types:
Y or N
●
A number
●
A number range, specified as number-number
●
A string, which cannot contain blanks
●
For more information about each of the CMS configuration files, see the Avaya 9.4 Conference
Management Server Configuration File Guide.
Shelf configuration file (Acs.fil)
The file c:\C2001\data\acs.fil defines shelf configuration. This file tells the CMS the
position of all cards used in its shelf or shelves. It also tells the CMS whether a shelf is
equipped, the status of the shelf, and any additional information relating to the particular
installation.
