15.3.2.1 Welcome Questionnaire
The Welcome Questionnaire includes basic questions regarding the software upgrade
process. In this screen, configure the following parameters:
Graceful Shutdown Period (sec) - the amount of time allowed for calls to end before
performing the upgrade on an individual Media Gateway board. During this period,
the Media Gateway board accepts no new calls, and at the close of this period, any
remaining calls are dropped. You can enter any amount of time in seconds for this
parameter with a default of 30 sec.
Upgrade Media Gateway board Mode - the following options are available:
•
Non-Interactive - the upgrade process moves to the next Media Gateway board
with no interval other than the Graceful Shutdown period.
•
Pause after the first Media Gateway board - allows the user to pause after the
first Media Gateway board is upgraded and test the system to assure that the
upgrade process to the Media Gateway board functions is successful before
upgrading the remaining Media Gateway boards
•
Pause after each Media Gateway board - allows the user to pause after each
Media Gateway board is upgraded. The user controls the start time for each of
the Media Gateway board upgrades. This is designed to further minimize calls
dropped for each Media Gateway board.
