1.25 Modified Alarm Events for Media LAN Disconnect
With the Service Update, the user receives LAN disconnect alarm events for each
Ethernet port on the Dialogic
®
IPT Boards, with indications specifically for when both ports
fail and if either recovers.
1.25.1 Feature Description
The Dialogic
®
IPT Boards have dual 1000BT and 100BT Ethernet ports, also referred to
as network interface connectors (NICs). The board supports LAN disconnect alarm
monitoring and reporting, which provides that the board generate an alarm event if a
disconnection or network failure occurs. The event is then reported to the application via
Global Call Alarm Management System (GCAMS). Currently, when an alarm is
generated, the specific board on which the alarm occurred is provided to the application,
but the specific port is not identified. If failures occur on both ports, two alarms are
generated; however, if the failure condition is corrected on both ports, only one event is
generated to notify the application that the alarm condition no longer exists. Also, no LAN
disconnect network alarms are supported on 1000BT ports.
With this feature, the application is notified via a Global Call event whenever either of the
100BT or 1000BT Ethernet ports are connected or disconnected; that is, if both ports are
disconnected, two events are generated, and if both are reconnected two additional
events are generated.
To support this feature a new eQoSType value has been added to the
IPM_QOS_ALARM_DATA data structure:
• QOSTYPE_NETWORKFAILURE1 - signifies port 1 fails/recovers (i.e., for 100BT Port
1 or 1000BT Port 1) (Dialogic
®
IPT Boards only)
The existing value of QOSTYPE_NETWORKFAILURE is used when port 0 fails/recovers
(i.e., for 100BT Port 0 or 1000BT Port 0).
To enable the Global Call application to receive media network failure alarm events, follow
the same steps provided in the Dialogic
®
Global Call IP Technology Guide, which include
that the user enables the EVT_NETWORKFAILURE event for the board device using the
ipm_EnableEvent( ). No new parameter has been added to enable the new port 1 events
indicated above.
Note: Port redundancy is not supported; that is, even with failover activated (via the “failover”
parameter) calls are not automatically moved from the primary port to the backup port.
