Configure your NMS board

Though the examples show CG 6060, the instructions apply CG 6xxx boards. To configure your NMS board:

  1. Open a command prompt window and from the NMS_path\nms\bin directory, run the Natural Access cg6ktool tool by entering:
> cg6ktool -A
  1. For later reference, write down the board’s PCI bus and slot information.
  2. Open the NMS_path\oam\cfg\oamsys.cfg configuration file in a text editor.
  3. Go to the [Nuance_x] section at the end of the file:
    1. Set Product to the board type you are using. See the commented sections for examples.
    2. Set Number to 0 for the first board. If you have multiple boards, copy this section and increment the numbers consecutively.
    3. Set Bus and Slot to the values returned above.
    4. Set File to the configuration file used to start the board for this protocol. These files are provided by Nuance and located in NMS_path\cg\cfg. Include “rtp” in the filename.

For example, if your system is using a CG6060 4T1 board with ISDN protocol, then you would set the values as follows:

# Board     : CG 6060 PCI 4 Tls
# Protocol  : ISDN (any)
[Nuance_0]
    Product = CG_6060_4
    Number = 0
    Bus    = 2
    Slot   = 2
    File   = cg6060_4T1_ISDN_rtp.cfg
  1. Open the board configuration file you specified for File above.
  2. Set the frame type and line code to match the E1 or T1 switch settings. The defaults are B8ZS (LineCode) and ESF (FrameType). If you need to change these values, edit the following lines:

NetworkInterface.T1E1[0..3].FrameType = ESF

NetworkInterface.T1E1[0..3].LineCode = B8ZS

  1. The OPS (Off-Premise Station) signaling protocol uses a line side T1 card in a switch. If you are using the OPS protocol, set NetworkInterface.T1E1[0..3].SignalIdleCode to the appropriate value:

OPS protocol

Board configuration setting

OPS FX (foreign exchange)

SignalIdleCode=0x05

OPS SA (special access)

SignalIdleCode=0x00
  1. Set IPC.AddRoute[0].DestinationAddress to an available static IP address for this board. Voice Platform will use this address for RTP traffic.
  2. Set IPC.AddRoute[0].Mask to the subnet mask of your network.
  3. Set IPC.AddRoute[1].GatewayAddress to the default gateway of your network.

For example, if the static IP address assigned to the board is 10.3.21.161, the subnet mask is 255.255.252.0, and the default gateway address is 10.3.20.1, your file would look something like this:

#IPv4 address, subnet mask, and interface number (1 or 2):
IPC.AddRoute[0].DestinationAddress = 10.3.21.161
IPC.AddRoute[0].Mask = 255.255.252.0
IPC.AddRoute[0].Interface = 1
#Default gateway: 
IPC.AddRoute[1].DestinationAddress = 0.0.0.0
IPC.AddRoute[1].Mask = 0.0.0.0
IPC.AddRoute[1].GatewayAddress = 10.3.20.1
  1. To configure and start the board, open a command prompt window and enter:
> oamsys

Check the output to make sure there are no errors and that the board started successfully.
