4.14.2. Run the Embedded H.323 Stack Configuration Utility (IPTConf.exe)

The IPTConf.exe utility converts the H.323 stack configuration file (config.val) from text format to a binary file and downloads it to the H.323 component on the PowerPC daughterboard. This is required in systems containing DM3 IPLink T-1 or E-1 NIC boards. The IPTConf.exe utility is automatically invoked by the downloader, but also can be invoked on a per board basis.

• Edit IPTConfig.cfg File
• Run IPTConfig.exe File

Edit IPTConfig.cfg File

The IPTConf.exe utility uses the configuration file IPTConf.cfg to specify the stack configuration file (config.val) to be downloaded to each applicable board in the system. The default IPTConf.cfg file assigns the same config.val file to all the boards in the system. The default location of the IPTConf.cfg file is C:\Program Files\Dialogic\cfg.

Each destination board must have an entry in the IPTConf.cfg file. The following is an example of a multiple board entry in the IPTConf.cfg file, using a different H.323 stack configuration file for each board:

BoardId = 0
{
ConfigValFile = config_1.val
CreateBufFile = TRUE
}
BoardId = 1
{
ConfigValFile = config_2.val
CreateBufFile = TRUE
}
BoardId = 3
{
ConfigValFile = config_3.val
CreateBufFile = TRUE
} 

BoardId - The ID of the destination DM3 board to download the stack configuration file. Open DCM to verify the board ID.

ConfigValFile - The name of the H.323 stack configuration text file for the relevant board.

CreateBufFile - Indicates to the application whether or not to convert the stack configuration text file (config.val) to a binary file before starting the download process. This flag can be useful when the configuration text file has not changed and the binary configuration file already exists. The values for this flag are:

• TRUE - convert the file to binary. A stack configuration file is created for each board. The file name is config<bdID>.buf, where <bdID> is the board ID.
• FALSE - use the existing binary file

Note: The H.323 stack cannot be reconfigured on the fly. It must be redownloaded.

Run IPTConfig.exe File

The IPTConf.exe utility is automatically invoked by the downloader, but also can be invoke on a single board. After the first download is completed, a table of all of the existing boards in the gateway is created. In this table every board has a unique id called AUID that can be used to download a single board.

1. Run detect to see this table.
2. Using DCM, stop or start a single board without interfering with the other boards' status.
3. After starting the board, it is possible to manually run IPTConf.exe on a single board. First run listboards to get the board's CfgId, and then run:

iptconf -b<cfgId> 

This will redownload the H.323 stack configuration information.
