Remote Connection Towards Gd/Ga/Intip Boards; Release 9.0 Before Patch H1.301.38; Ngp Boards - Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX Enterprise Manual

REMARKS & RESTRICTIONS

Remote connection towards GD/GA/INTIP boards

6.3.1.

Release 9.0 before patch H1.301.38

For safety reasons, telnet access towards GD/GA/INTIP boards has been disabled. The remote
access towards INTIP boards remains available using the cpl_online command.
Regarding the GD and GA boards, a mechanism similar to that of IP Touch sets has been
implemented.
•
Activation of telnet service for a specific GD using the ippstat command.
• Remote access towards GD/GA using the telnet_al
command.
Note
This command corresponds to telnet <GD/GA_address> -b <CS_real_address>, the b
option allows to force the sender address of the request and in this case not use the main address.
The telnet client of the board GD/GA, which has been suppressed in Release 9.0, was necessary in
particular to access the maintenance commands relative to the H323 process (telnet from the GD on
its H323 port (4560)). These commands are now available through the ccmonitor command of
the GD.
6.3.2. Releases 8.0.1 (from G1.503.35), 9.0 (from H1.301.38) and 9.1
The telnet activation, used for the GD in Release 9.0 before patch H1.301.38, has a major
drawback: in case the signaling link between the Call Server and the GD wasn't active, there was no
way to activate the telnet, even locally, for remote debugging.
To overcome this limitation, as of Releases 8.0.1 (from patch G1.503.35), 9.0 (from H1.301.38)
and 9.1, the telnet activation will be possible in the same fashion, using a new entry in "mgconfig"
tool (on GD/GA), "14 – Telnet server", which will allow to de-activate the telnet, activate the telnet for
a limited period or activate it without limitation. The ippstat method remains possible.
The same process applies to authorize a remote connection via telnet on NGP boards (the ippstat
solution doesn't apply though).
6.4.

NGP boards

This general naming concerns GD3, GA3, PowerMEX as well as INTIP3 boards.
Chapter 7.7.8 of the main section of this document provides the different hardware compatibility
information related to the use of NGP boards.
NGP boards don't support the following topics:
•
Non "Direct RTP mode in network"
•
Proprietary H323 inter-nodes protocol (only H323 mode is supported)
•
Proprietary fax mode between Media Gateway (only H323 mode is supported)
Contrary to INTIP, the INTIP3 board doesn't support transit function. So with NGP, whatever the
board used, the direct RTP mode is the only mode to take into account.
