4.1 Starting the Demo
If you are running the Revenue Generating Application/Peripheral Fault Manager (PFM) program
set, the Peripheral Fault Manager application must be started first. The default location of the PFM
executable file (pfmanager.exe) is C:\program files\dialogic\samples\HA\pfmanager. When the
PFM program is started, it displays a list of installed Intel® NetStructure™ boards according to
their physical slot number. When the PFM has detected all Intel® NetStructure boards in your
system, you must then start the Intel® Dialogic® System by clicking on the Start command from
the PFM’s System menu.
After you have started the Intel® Dialogic System and the PFM indicates that all boards are
‘Started’, you can then start the RGA demo. The default location of the RGA demo executable
(rgademo.exe) is C:\program files\dialogic\samples\HA\rgademo. When the RGA program is
started, it immediately opens the channels on the installed boards and begins making and receiving
calls. If a board has been designated as a backup board in the redundant.cfg file, it is displayed in
STANDBY mode.
Note: Boards designated as backup boards do not begin making/receiving calls until the initial board in
the board pair is physically removed from the system.
You can start the RSS demo by running the rssmanager5084.exe or rssmanager5085.exe file. The
default location for this file is C:\program files\dialogic\samples\HA\rssmanager5084 or
C:\program files\dialogic\samples\HA\rssmanager5085 depending on the RSS-compatible chassis
you are using. Refer to the Release Guide for a list of chassis that support RSS.
