3. If a download is required, store the distribution file in an empty directory on the hard drive of the
downloading machine.
4. Follow the steps detailed in Section 4.11, “Updating System Software” on page 24 in order to carry out
the update of the system software.
3.4 Initial Configuration
By default, the Signaling Gateway is shipped configured to operate in SIU mode. Once an SGW license has
been applied, the system must be restarted using the MNRSI MML command requesting that the unit operate
in SGW mode. Connect a VT100 terminal to identify the mode of operation (See Section 3.2, “Connecting a
VT100 Terminal” on page 16).
The MNRSI restart command should be used to restart the system in a different mode. MNRSI should be
used together with the mode in which the Signaling Gateway is expected to operate in after restart. For SGW
operation this is:
MNRSI:SYSTYPE=SGW;
The Signaling Gateway is configured with a default IP address of 192.168.0.1. If this address is not unique,
or not suitable for the existing network configuration, it is necessary to change this value to a unique IP
address in the Ethernet network to which it is connected. Instructions for making this change are given
below.
Using the VT100-compatible terminal, the IP address is set by entering the system configuration command,
CNSYS. For example, to set the IP address to 123.124.125.126, the following command should be entered:
CNSYS:IPADDR=123.124.125.126;
It is also possible to configure a subnet mask if the unit is a member of a subnet. The default subnet mask is
255.255.255.0. To set the subnet mask to a different value, the following command should be used (the
example here sets a subnet mask of 255.255.255.192):
CNSYS:SUBNET=255.255.255.192;
The management interface also allows an IP gateway address to be specified using the GATEWAY parameter.
This is set by default to 0.0.0.0, indicating that no gateway is present. For example, to set the gateway
address to 123.124.125.250, the following command is used:
CNSYS:GATEWAY=123.124.124.250;
The current settings can be displayed by entering the CNSYP command.
