General Parameters

The general debugging and diagnostic parameters are described in the table below.

General Debugging and Diagnostic Parameters

Parameter

Description

[LifeLineType]

Defines the condition (i.e., loss of power to the device) upon which the device activates the Lifeline feature for FXS interfaces. When the analog Lifeline is triggered, the device automatically connects a specific FXS port, which is connected to a "lifeline" POTS phone, to the PSTN (or PBX). Therefore, this allows the FXS endpoint user to continue making and receiving calls with the PSTN despite the loss of power.

[0] = (Default) Lifeline is activated upon the loss of power to the device, for example, due to a power outage or the unplugging of the device's power cable.

Note:

The parameter is applicable only to the FXS interfaces.
The parameter has only one valid value.
For the parameter to take effect, a device restart is required.
If the device is in Lifeline mode and the condition that triggered it (e.g., a power outage) no longer exists (e.g., power returns), the device exits Lifeline mode and performs normal call routing.
For information on Lifeline cabling, refer to the Hardware Installation Manual.

'Delay After Reset [sec]'

configure voip > sip-definition advanced-settings > delay-after-reset

[GWAppDelayTime]

Defines the time interval (in seconds) that the device's operation is delayed after a restart.

The valid range is 0 to 45. The default is 7 seconds.

Note: This feature helps overcome connection problems caused by some LAN routers or IP configuration parameters' modifications by a DHCP server.

[Mediant1000DualPowerSupplySupported]

Enables the device to send an alarm (to the SNMP client and Web interface) if one of the Power Supply modules is removed from the chassis or not operating correctly (failure).

[1] = (Default) Disable - no alarm is sent.
[2] = Enable - an alarm is sent.

Note:

For the parameter to take effect, a device restart is required.
If the parameter is set to [2], for this feature to be functional, both Main and Redundant Power Supply modules must be housed in the chassis.
If the device is intentionally installed with only one Power Supply module, then make sure that the parameter is set to [1]; otherwise, an alarm will be raised.

[GroundKeyDetection]

Defines loop- or ground-start signaling for all the device's FXS and FXO ports.

[0] = (Default) Loop-start signaling
[1] = Ground-start signaling

Note:

For the parameter to take effect, a device restart is required.
To configure the signaling method per port and for a detailed description of this feature, see Configuring Ground- or Loop-Start Signaling per Analog Port.

'Port Ground Start'

[GroundKeyDetection_x]

The table defines loop- or ground-start signaling per analog (FXS or FXO) port.

For the ini file parameter, the x denotes the port number, where 0 represents Port I. For example,

GroundKeyDetection_0 = 1
GroundKeyDetection_1 = 0
GroundKeyDetection_2 = 0

[0] Disable = (Default) Port uses loop-start signaling.
[1] Enable = Port uses ground-start signaling.

For more information, see Configuring Ground- or Loop-Start Signaling per Analog Port.

Note:

For the parameter to take effect, a device restart is required.
To configure the same signaling method for all ports, use the ini file parameter GroundKeyDetection.

[EnableAutoRAITransmitBER]

Enables the device to send a remote alarm indication (RAI) when the bit error rate (BER) is greater than 0.001.

[0] = Disable (default)
[1] = Enable

'Ignore BRI LOS Alarm'

configure voip > gateway digital settings > ignore-bri-los-alarm

[IgnoreBRILOSAlarm]

Enables the device to ignore LOS alarms received from the BRI user-side trunk and attempts to make a call (relevant for IP-to-Tel calls).

[0] Disable
[1] Enable (default)

Note: The parameter is applicable only to BRI interfaces.
