1. 4760IIn order to troubleshoot a 4760 > problem, a basic understanding of the protocol/feature/conceptis required. Some basic concepts are covered below.
Reading document A4760 from the technical documentation is also highly recommended.
2. HISTORYEdition 01 : creation of the Troubleshooting Guide
3. INTRODUCTION
The OmniPCX Voice Application 4760i has been developed to directly access to the call serverwithout external server.The 4760i application consists in the e-configuration application and the save/restore application.There is nearly the same level of features for the 4760 configuration and 4760 save/restore.On the 4760 you have the choice on the web page between directory consultation and networkmanagement.On the 4760i you have the choice between configuration and save/restore.First delivery has been done with OmniPCX Enterprise R5.0 Lx.
4760i should be accessible on the network by a browser (see 5.1) or a 4760i client. (see 10)
3.1. Capacities and limits
• You could connect maximum 2 different 4760i clients on the same call server.
• This feature is not subject to a lock, the access to this functionality is manage in the mao to :� System
� Other system param.� System parameters
� Use of 4760I � TrueThis has to be done only if you don’t have the softkey 50 (MAO47XX)
If the customer has the key 50 “MAO47xx, this Boolean is useless
• Hardware and software environment : PC with WINNT4 or Windows2000 or
A4760i, delivered with OmniPCX Enterprise R5.0 Lx,is based on GCSconfig service.
Comasync library will directly pilot the 4400 CMISEwith the linux socket.
To see the service on the OXE you can launch thecommand “ps –eaf”. You will find the correspondentservice display : “GCSConfig_srv”.
In all the case there is usually 6 process launch at thestartup, and each time you launch the configuration,(2 times maximum) 4 process “GCSConfig” will belaunch.
4. A4760I CREATION & USE OF THE A4760I
4.1. Connection
To launch the 4760 through a html page, launch Internet explorer or Netscape and enter the IPaddress or the host name of your call server.
Example : http://192.168.65.72
Click on “ Configuration / Save – Restore”,
Don’t click on “EasyConfig” because there is no application behind this menu.
If you use for the first time the A4760i, you must first load the JAVA Applet.
Click first on”Before using the OMNIPCX Enterprise for the first time, or from a new server, Pleaseinstall JRE Click here”. See below on [1]
In the following window you have the choice to launch directly the JRE program or to save it on yourPC and to execute it later to install the java applets.
REMARK : If you have already a JRE package installed, it could be better to erase the JAR cache(see 6.3)
Secondly, you have to open the Java application writing right by clicking on [2] (see above) “Toopen Java application writing rights, please Click here” .
In the following window you have the choice to directly launch the nmcsec.bat program or to save iton your PC and to execute it later to install the java applets.
If you launch the execution of this program, you should at the end of this execution press a key toclose the window and finish the program.
4.2. Launch of the applications.
4.2.1. Procedure
When you launch the configuration application or the maintenance (save/restore) application, theuser must fill a dialog box with :
• Call server to configure (host name or IP address)
• Login
• Password
• Language use.
The login and password are checked by the call server itself.
You must login with “mtcl” and it password.
The selected language gives the language in the application menu.
The language used for the call server model object is the selected language if there exists, other thanit’s English language per default.
The use of the configuration is the same for the 4760 server (See the Omnivista 4760 document)
The use is very light, you only have the configuration mode, the telnet is not possible and all otherapplication delivered with the 4760 like LDAP directory, alarm, accounting… aren’t available.
4.4. Maintenance application.
4.4.1. GoalThe goal is to save all the telephonic and Linux data on a PC and restore those on the same oranother OXE cpu ( in case of a release upgrade or a crash of the hard disk )The objective purpose is to provide a java application available on a browser who doesn’t needFTP, Telnet and swinst tools.
4.4.2. Connection:
This document understands that the client 4760i is already operational on the PC. Use with realclient or browser is possible.
On the Internet Explorer browser ( release 5 minimum ) or Netscape (release 4.7 minimum) connectyou to the C.S. with the address : http://<IP@>, then the configuration/ maintenance screen will bedisplayed .
With this button the telephone application doesn’t work, if you click on it you willactivate the telephone application. If the autostart is activated, the system will reboot. (Buttonand arrow are red)
By right click you could see this menu :
It’s possible to do the same action as by the normal click, but you could also start phonewithout modifying autostart.
With this button the telephone application is working, if you click on it you will stopthe autostart. If the autostart is inactivated, the system will reboot. (Button is grey, and arrowis red)
By right clicking you could see this menu :
It’s possible to do the same action as by the normal click, but you could also stop phonewithout modifying autostart
4.4.5.2. Operation panel
It depends on the application choice. It contains the different possible operations like save or restoreof MAO, accounting, voice mail…
With this arrows you could switch to the previous or next operation.
With this button you could switch from the operation grid to the applications grid.
If this button is green, you could activate the operation.
If this button is red, you could cancel the choice you made to come back to an initial state.
4.4.5.4. Status window.
Display of all information about the operations done, traces and errors (in red caracter).
4.4.6. Description of the operations
4.4.6.1. Options
When using the “option” menu, a directories structure is created automatically where you chooseto save your data.
On the example below we choose the directory “c:\save” has been choosen.
This structure contains (below the default directory) sub-directories : with the name or the IPaddress for each pabx connected (logged as “mtcl”) and another sub-directory named by thedate of the backup.
For example you could have finally : “c:\save \pabx_A\Feb 18,2003”
Select any object you want to save; there are 8 possible choices.
• mao, voice guide and accounting data : mao-acc file
• accounting data : acc file
• traffic history data : obstraf file
• CCD configuration and statistic data : acd file
• 4635 data : 4635j file
• 4645 data, greeting without message: eva file
• 4645 data, greeting and message files : eva-msg file
• linux data for the specify cpu : cho-dat file
To save on a different directory then the default one, unselect the field “Save in the defaultdirectory”. Then click on “Browse” to select the right directory .
The selection in the PC must be validated by a blue line on the new window containing the sub-directory. The backup will be done under this directory. It will contain the following sub-directoriestree :
- One named by the OXE name on which the connection was made.
- One named by the date of the backup.
- Finally the files
When this is done, click on the green button “Apply the modification”.
The backup starts. This part is displayed on the previous blank part of the half-screen and theending is also displayed in this status window. The keyword “Disconnected” tells you when theoperation is finished.
• cleaning of the directory /DHS3dyn/BACKUP/IMMED on the pabx.
• Launch of swinst by telnet and use of the command “bsk –save archive” to save under/DHS3dyn/BACKUP/IMMED
• Recovering of the file by FTP and local save on the computer if the operation didn’t failed.For example on the directory : “c:\TEMP\pabx_A\Feb 18,2003”.
4.4.6.3. PABX RestoreThe telephone can be started or not on the C.S. for this operation:If the telephone application isn’t started, you can only use the client and no browser.If the telephone application is started you can use the client 4760i and the browser, but youcan’t restore the file on the CS. The files are just being stored in a special directory and thefinal installation can be done by “swinst” after you have stopped the telephone application.For swinst, see the OXE 5.0Lx documentation to use this tool.
PABX Backup window.
You have 3 possibilities to find the files to restore;
• One choice limited to the own pabx directories files
• One choice where you can select files from an other pabx save.
• With the choice “find records” you can select many files on many directories and disks.
Select the field “Find Records”.
Then go to the right sub-directory and select manually the files. On the screen, click on the arrow tovalidate or un-validate the files.
Click on the green button to validate the restore operation. The files are now being transferred. Likethe save operation, the files copied are displayed at the bottom of the browser. If the telephone isstill active, a red sentence is displayed at the end. (Don’t forget that to restore the file in the CS, youmust stop the telephone application before.)
The files are transferred in “/usr4/BACKUP/IMMED” in the C.S. and restored automatically. You cansee in the status window the message “mao-acc completed” when the restore operation is finished.
Description of the Restore operation :
• cleaning of the directory /DHS3dyn/BACKUP/IMMED on the pabx.
• Sending of the select files by FTP.
• Launch of swinst by telnet and use of the command “bsk –restore archive” to restore thefiles who are under /DHS3dyn/BACKUP/IMMED
You could choice the target where you want to save your OPS file, but if you want to restore the fileby the same tool 4760i, it’s better to keep the default directory defined in the option menu (see5.4.6.1).
Description of the OPS backup operation :
• clean of the directory /DHS3dyn/BACKUP/OPS on the pabx.
• Launch of swinst by telnet and use of the command “bsk –save ops” to save under/DHS3dyn/BACKUP/OPS
• Recovering of the file by FTP and local save on the computer if the operation didn’t failed.
The files are in the directory defined by default in the option menu (see 5.4.6.1).
On the screen click on the arrow to validate or un-validate the files.
Click on the green button to validate the restore operation. The files are now being transferred. Likethe save operation, the files copied are displayed at the bottom of the browser. If the telephone isstill active, a red sentence is displayed at the end.
The files are transferred in “/usr4/BACKUP/OPS” in the C.S. and restored automatically. You couldsee in the status window the message “mao-acc completed” when the restore operation is finished.
Description of the Restore operation :
• Cleaning of the directory /DHS3dyn/BACKUP/OPS on the pabx.
• Sending of the select files by FTP.
• Launch of swinst by telnet and use of the command “bsk –restore ops” to restore the fileswho are under /DHS3dyn/BACKUP/OPS
5. TROUBLESHOOTING A4760I CREATION => IF YOU HAVEDIFFICULTIES USING THE A4760I.
If you have troubles to install your A4760i, check the different points.
5.1. Is JRE available?
Check if there is any other java Runtime installed.
4760i uses java 1.3.1.
If you open a MS-DOS command window you could check the version with the command :
“java –version”
You will see this answerjava version "1.3.1"Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1-b24)Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1-b24, mixed mode)
In the control panel you could by “add/remove program” check if there is any other java installed,otherwise remove this program.
Download and launch again “jre.exe” and “nmcsec.bat” on the 4760i. (see 5.1)
6. OBJECT MODEL PROPERTIES
When you start the first time the A4760i, you will see a “Object model loading properties” window.
You could tune 6 features.
• Local save : you could save on your computer the model object, so it is not necessary toload it each time from the call server when you launch the A4760i.
• Local load : you will use the model object loaded.
• ID Patchd : If this feature isn’t crossed you will use the most recent model object. Forexample your model object is E1.604.9 so you can connect a call server in E1.604.8. Inother case if the “ID Patch” is crossed you need loading the model object of the E1.604.8
• Model number : Number of maximum model object loaded in the computer.
• Save Location : place where you will save your model object by default.
• Does not Appear : If this feature is crossed, on the next start up of the 4760i thiswindow will not appear. If you want tomodify a feature on this window later, you mustopen the configuration menu, and right click on the pabx node. Than, select “Open MIBSave dialog box”.
7. SAVE & RESTORE WITHOUT TELEPHONE APPLICATION STARTEDThe A4760i has 2 working modes;
• By the applet, the client has been loaded by a http request. The applet is deleted eachtime you close the browser. You need a http server started to answer to the browserrequest.
• If the client application has been installed on your PC you don’t need the http server,because there is no browser request.
So if your telephone application is not started, you have to install the A4760i client application onyour computer.
This application is available on the http server. ( See : 10 < How to install the 4760i clientsoftware>)
