Figure 1 shows how the parameter groups are used to define
the characteristics of trunks and channels. These parameters are collectively
known as the telephony parameters.
When to use System Configuration You can use these procedures, either to set up your system the first time, or to reset any of the parameters to specific values, at any time. If you need an explanation of any of the parameters, see System parameters reference, or select Help when you are in the parameter window. For general instructions on setting parameter values, see Setting the value of a system parameter.
Parameters used to define channel characteristics Because channels physically belong to trunks and logically belong to channel groups, the characteristics of each channel are defined with several different groups of parameters:
When do the parameter values take effect? Most of the telephony parameters take effect as soon as you disable then enable the packs that process the channels. Remember that if a channel group definition applies to channels on more than one pack, and you change the definition, all the packs that use that definition must be disabled then enabled.
Defining channels Use this procedure to define the individual telephony channels. For an introduction to channels, see Channels.
Using wvrsysconf to define VoIP parameters The wvrsysconf utility provides direct manipulation of the telephony parameters that are used in system configuration. It does this by exporting the parameters and their values in the form of an XML document. It also creates an XML Schema Definition (XSD) file that contains any restrictions on the permitted values for the parameters.
What next? Generally, your telephony configuration is now complete. Depending on your requirements, however, you might need to use the instructions in Advanced VoIP parameter settings to do further configuration.
