Cisco EGW Home

Table 1 Cisco EGW Home Properties  

Field
Description

Host Name

Name of the local server where the Cisco EGW 2200 is installed.

This is the Host Name that was entered in the Platform Administration GUI or CLI.

EGW Primary IP Address

Primary IP address of the local Cisco EGW 2200 server.  

This is the IP address that was entered for "Ethernet 0" in the Platform Administration GUI or CLI.

Note In a fault-tolerant configuration, the two Cisco EGW 2200 hosts must be located on the same subnet.

EGW Secondary IP Address

Secondary IP address of the local Cisco EGW 2200 server.

This is the IP address that was entered for "Ethernet 1" in the Platform Administration GUI or CLI.

Fault Tolerant Mode

Select this to enable the fault tolerant (duplex) mode.


Caution If you select this option and click Update, your system will reboot. Make sure that you perform a system backup before rebooting.

Perform this task before you begin Cisco EGW 2200 provisioning, to avoid post-provisioning downtime.

Once you have configured the Cisco EGW 2200 pair, most provisioning updates on the active Cisco EGW 2200 are automatically copied to the peer. H.323 updates and data such as call detail records are not copied.

Note If you do not select this option, the peer address fields are unavailable.

EGW Peer Primary IP Address

EGW Peer Secondary IP Address

If you did not select the fault-tolerant mode, these fields are unavailable.

If you are operating the Cisco EGW 2200 in fault tolerant mode, enter the primary and secondary IP addresses for the other server in the duplex configuration.

Tip When the Cisco EGW 2200 is installed or rebooted, the installation script finds the IP addresses for the host where the Cisco EGW 2200 is installed. Always check your peer IP addresses after a reboot to ensure that they are still valid.

Note In a fault-tolerant configuration, the two Cisco EGW 2200 hosts must be located on the same subnet.

T.38 Fax Support

Select this for T.38 fax support on the trunk group.

This property must be enabled on the incoming and outgoing trunk groups for T.38 fax calls to be successfully routed.

Glare

This field allows you to control potential collision between incoming and outgoing calls. The signaling stack resolves situations in which both sides attempt to place a call at the same time by determining the A and B designation for each call. Under the QSIG protocol, if both sides attempt to place outbound calls at the same time, side A continues with its outbound call and side B drops its outbound call attempt.

Choose one of the following:
