Starting the HG 1500
2Preparing the Board
Once the HiPath HG 1500 has been installed, it must be started and configured for HTTP ac-
cess via WBM. The start-up procedure and configuration options are described in this chapter.
If you are using the HiPath HG 1500 for an Internet connection:
>
2.1Starting the HG 1500
When the system is started, the HiPath HG 1500 is automatically started as well. This initiates
the firmware start routine, the gateway self test and the startup procedure.
An Internet connection always involves an elevated security risk. In order to keep
risks to a minimum, we therefore recommend installing and using a security solution
that satisfies security requirements.
2.1.1Firmware Start Routine
The firmware is located in the flash memory and is started each time the system is rebooted.
The firmware code resets the system and is the first code to be run when the power supply is
switched on.
The firmware performs the following functions:
1.Initializes the hardware components of the board.
2.Tests the hardware components (Built-In Self-test BIST).
3.Creates the file system in the flash memory.
4.Activates the CLI handler).
5.Loads data from the flash memory (loading program).
6.Starts the application program.
The automatic boot procedure between steps 4 and 5 and can be interrupted, as described in
Section 2.1.3, "Interrupting the Boot Procedure".
If the boot procedure is not interrupted, the gateway continues the boot procedure and can then
If there is no terminal connected to the V.24 interface of the board, the LEDs at the front of the
HiPath HG 1500 display the main steps of the start routine.
The red LED remains illuminated at the beginning of the boot procedure. Once code loading
has been initiated (see Section 2.1.1, "Firmware Start Routine", step 5), the red power supply
LED flashes once per second. Once the LED has stopped flashing, the boot procedure is complete.
The gateway is operational approximately 30 s after the LED goes out.
If a serial terminal is connected, the text "System Running" is displayed on the ter-
>
minal as soon as the gateway is ready.
2.1.3Interrupting the Boot Procedure
The boot procedure can be interrupted after the self-test by pressing any key on the terminal
within three seconds of the Press any key to Stop autoboot message appearing on the screen.
If the boot procedure is interrupted in this way, the device switches to a special mode in which
the system may have been configured to request the root administrator’s password. In this
case, enter the password. Access via Boot CLI is granted after logon. With boot CLI, booting
can be manually controlled by entering boot commands and changing the start parameters.
The boot CLI commands are described in the Section D.7, "Start command line".
To repeat the standard boot procedure, press <CTRL>+X.
2.2Configuring the HiPath HG 1500
Before the HiPath HG 1500 can be administered, an IP address must be assigned to the
board’s LAN1 interface. The IP addresses can be assigned via CLI. Do this by connecting an
appropriate terminal to the HiPath HG 1500’s V.24 interface. Using CLI commands, you can
configure IP addresses, subnet masks and default routers (for a detailed description, see Sec-
tion 2.2.1, "Configuration via CLI Interface").
Once the HiPath HG 1500 has been assigned an IP address and has been rebooted, you can
boot the board WBM via a Web browser in the network (see Chapter 3, "WBM").
Information about the IP protocols and port numbers used in HiPath 2000 V1.0 can

Configuring the HiPath HG 1500
2.2.1Configuration via CLI Interface
Configuring CLI:
1.Connect a serial terminal or a PC with a VT 340 terminal emulation program (e.g. HyperTeminal) to the HiPath HG 1500 V.24 interface.
The connection requires the following settings:
Baud rate: 19200, Data: 8 bit, Parity: none, Stop bits: 1, Data flow control: none.
2.Start the HiPath 3000 system.
3.Press any key to display the please log in prompt. Log on by entering the user name
and password. The user name and password are specified in the HiPath 3000 system using HiPath 3000 Manager E.
4.Activate the write access:
get write access
If the command is correct, OK is displayed.
The same applies to all subsequent entries.
Assigning an IP address to the HiPath HG 1500 LAN1 interface:
1.Set up the gateway IP address (LAN1 interface) by entering the following:
set ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address (number).
2.Set up the subnet mask for the gateway by entering:
set ip subnet yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
where yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is the address mask.
Example of a Class C subnet:
255.255.255.0
Saving entries and rebooting the HiPath HG 1500:
1.Save the configuration by entering the following:
1.Assign a default router to the gateway by entering:
set Default Gateway zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz
where zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz is the IP address of the router in the customer network.
2.Re-save the configuration with:
save configuration
2.2.2Configuration via HiPath 3000 Manager E
To access the gateway via PPP using any connection (analog or ISDN), a PSTN peer with an
activated service entry must be created.
If the HiPath HG 1500 database is empty, service entries can be automatically created using
HiPath 3000 Manager E. The following service entries are possible:
●Service entry for remote access via an asynchronous modem (V.34).
●Service entry for remote access via an ISDN card (HDLC).
Working in HiPath 3000 Manager E:
1.Reading the HiPath 3000 customer database memory (CDB):
File > Tr an s fe r > Read/write database > System > PC.
2.Configure S0 subscribers (e. g., with one of the following values):
HiPath 3750748
HiPath 3550686
HiPath 335069
3.Reading out board information:
File > Tr an s fe r > Maintenance > Restart/reload > Read card information.
All gateways and slot specifications are listed in the HXG – Remote Initial Startup section.
Under DID for the relevant gateway, enter the extension that you configured in step 2.
4.Click Accept data.
A PSTN peer is then automatically configured on the HiPath HG 1500 with the following
parameters:
Peer NameRemote default
IP Address of PSTN Peer10.186.237.64
IP Address of Local PSTN Interface10.186.237.63

3WBM
WBM stands for Web Based Management. The WBM is the default administration interface in
HG 1500.
Any PC with a TCP/IP-supported network connection and a compatible web browser can access the WBM user interface after successfully logging on. The WBM features an integrated
Web server so that the WBM can be accessed over an HTTP URL (or an HTTPS URL if SSL
is enabled).
The WBM user interface is available in German and English. The language can be set via the
Web browser’s language setting.
Hardware requirements:
To operate WBM, you will need a PC with the following minimum requirements:
●128 MB main memory (RAM),
●400 MHz processor speed,
●a mouse with left and right buttons.

The following control icons are available:
●Padlock icon (1),
●Save icon (2),
●Reset icon (3),
●Activity icon (4).
The following status information is also displayed:
●Status of SSL and IPsec security functions (5),
●Access category of the user and system version (6),
●System name and location (7),
●System date and time, and how long since the last restart (8).
Padlock icon (1)
This icon indicates the current write access status for the administered gateway. The following
two statuses are possible:
Data input is blocked. You can read data but you cannot enter or modify it.
Data can be entered. You have read and write access.
The gateway status changes when the padlock icon is clicked.
If data input is blocked, clicking the icon will immediately activate write access from this PC,
provided that no other administrator currently has write access.
If data input is blocked and write access is currently activated at another PC, a warning message will be displayed when you click the Padlock icon. The program queries whether write access should be transferred to this administrator. If Ye s is clicked, write access will be transferred
from another PC to this administrator’s computer.
If you click the Padlock icon while write access is still active on the current PC, write access will
be granted, regardless of whether data has been saved. If data has yet to be saved and/or a
restart is required but has not yet been performed, the relevant control icons will indicate the
present status when write access is next activated.
This icon saves modified data. It can assume three statuses:
Data input is blocked. Users can read data, but they cannot edit entries.
Data can be entered but no changes have yet been made. (Data in the RAM
is identical to that in the flash memory.)
Data can be entered. Data has been modified but not saved. (Data in the RAM
differs from that in the flash memory.)
Changes are always made to the configuration that was active at the start of the session or to
the last configuration saved during the session. The modified configuration in the RAM is saved
as a new configuration in the flash memory.
Reset icon (3)
This icon triggers a gateway restart. It can assume three statuses:
Data input is blocked. Users can read data, but they cannot edit entries.
Data input is active but no restart is required.
Data input is active. Data has been modified. The gateway must be restarted
to activate the modified configuration.
Clicking the Reset icon will delete any unsaved changes which were made since the start of
the session or since the last time the configuration was saved. A warning is displayed before
unsaved data is deleted. If you click OK, the gateway will restart and the configuration from the
flash memory will overwrite the configuration in the RAM.
Action icon (4)
The icon turns green to indicate a live connection to the HG 1500 Web server. The icon flashes
red when there is no connection set up.

3.3Alternative Management over CLI (Console)
For a detailed description of the CLI commands available, see Appendix D, "The CLI Command
Interface".
3.4SNMP Management
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) has been created for use with network management systems (NMS). NMS uses SNMP to integrate the management of network elements
from different manufacturers.
HiPath HG 1500 contains an SNMP agent which accesses a standard MIB 2 as well as one for
the specific private MIB. Authorized persons can read out administration and configuration data
via SNMP. Some settings in HiPath HG 1500 can be modified via SNMP.
Both MIBs are available to administrators if a standard operating environment (for example, HP
OpenView) is used.
HiPath HG 1500 can limit SNMP access to certain IP addresses, enabling data to be read out
or modified via the NMS by authorized administrators only.

3-16HG 1500 V3.0 for HiPath 3000 V7, Administrator Documentation
SNMP can be used to generate traps. Changes to the existing conditions or the gateway status
are transferred by the trap in real time. If a trap is generated, HiPath HG 1500 sends a PDU
(Protocol Data Unit) trap to the SNMP agent which then forwards it to the NMS.
3.5HiPath Management with HiPath 3000 Manager E
HiPath 3000 Manager E is an independent tool. It can be installed, for instance, on a server PC
with HiPath 5000 RSM server software or on a service PC. In the HiPath 5000 network, all relevant network sections are displayed as a virtual HiPath system.
The program is a 32-bit application and can run under Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4.0 and 2000
operating systems.
The HiPath 5000 system can only be managed by one HiPath 3000 Manager E at any given
time. The IP address of the Management Client as well as the beginning and end of the session
are logged at each session. Modified data continues to be logged in the HiPath 5000 nodes.
In the HiPath system, HiPath 3000 Manager E takes priority over other running applications.
This means that the modified data is stored in the HiPath 5000 database and a message is issued to alert the application of the change.
HiPath 3000 Manager E cannot be used to configure HG 1500 for the first time. However, a link
to HG 1500 is displayed. This link is always available. You are automatically logged onto
HG 1500 when you enter the password in HiPath 3000 Manager E.
A description of HiPath 3000 Manager E can be found in the HiPath 5000 system documentation.
In addition, colored icons display the communication status:

G729AB (no difference in terms of payload). Codecs G729 and G729B are therefore
deactivated by default.
From the perspective of H323 signaling, codecs G729 and G729A are different to
codecs G729B and G729AB.
Some non-HiPath H323 endpoints (Cisco GK) use the codec G729 or G729B for
H323 signaling. In this case, the codecs G729 and G729B must also be used in the

If the load is particularly heavy, the board may not be able to process all trace information. For further information on this, see Section 6.6.2.3, "Board Overload
Caused by Trace Information".
When a trace file reaches its maximum size, the file is closed and stored as
"trace.bak" in the same directory. A new (empty) "trace.txt" file is created at the same
time.

Suitable for medium load.
●Limited Formatting (Message types binary, special X-Tracer format):
In this restricted output mode, data types are output in binary format. In other words, in the
same format as when the trace was performed. The binary format is intended to be used
for analysis with the X-Tracer tool. Trace output: fast. Suitable for medium to high load.
●Limited Formatting (only expansion of basic data types):
Only elementary data types are expanded in this restricted output mode (integer, short,
long, string, for instance). Trace output: very fast. Suitable for high load.
●Performance optimized Trace without Parameter Expansion:
Data types are not expanded in this output mode. This means that no expenditure is required for formatting trace data. Trace output: extremely fast. Suitable for very high load.

6.6.2.3Board Overload Caused by Trace Information
If the load is particularly heavy, the volume of trace information may be so great that the board
is unable to process it. Console overload is indicated by the message OAM Msg Queue [...] full. Remove Messages. If this happens, carry out the following steps:
1.Deactivate the option Switch Console Trace On.
If the console remains overloaded:
2.Deactivate the option Switch File Trace On.
If the console still remains overloaded:
3.Activate the option Switch Trace via LAN On. Using a trace tool, the trace data is processed
via the connected LAN instead of via the board.
If the overload conditions continues even though the console trace has been disabled, the event
logs will also be included in the event log file on the board. The board can retrieve and display
the event log file. This allows you to determine whether the console is still overloaded.
If file trace is activated, (see also Section 6.6.2.3, "Board Overload Caused by Trace Informa-
tion"), you can load the log file from the gateway to the Administration PC or to another com-
puter. You can also delete the log file.

Traces
6.6.5Trace Profiles
Trace profiles define the data to be logged and the detail in which this information should provided. Trace components (see Section 6.6.6, "Trace Components") are assigned to a trace pro-
file. This allows you to specify the gateway components for which a trace profile process and
status information should be logged. The detail provided in the logs can be set using trace levels.
You can create, modify and delete user-defined trace profiles. Predefined trace profiles are also
provided. You can stop all trace profiles at once, or start and stop them individually. When you
start a trace profile, logging is activated for this profile. When you stop the profile, logging is
deactivated.
