37.1 Auxiliary Files Repository
Auxiliary Files are stored on both SC boards and are constantly replicated between
them. Some "default" auxiliary files (CMP files) are added during the Media Gateway
installation and may not be modified by the user.
Adding an Auxiliary file consists of the following steps:
1. Adding an Auxiliary file to the auxiliary files repository on the Media Gateway.
2. Associating an Auxiliary file with a specific Media Gateway board or application.
To add an Auxiliary File to the auxiliary files repository:
1. Upload the auxiliary file to the EMS Software Manager:
a. From the Tools menu, select Software Manager; the Software Manager
screen is displayed.
b. In the upper left corner, click
; the Add Files screen is displayed.
c. In
Auxiliary or Auxiliary M5K/M8K tab, for each of the file types you
require, click and navigate to the desired file.
d. Click OK. The file name is displayed in the File Name field.
e. In the File Description field, type a meaningful description.
f. Do the same for any additional file type you require.
g. Click OK; the files are uploaded to the EMS.
37.2 Call Progress Tones (CPT) Files
Call Progress Tones (CPT) files contain definition of the Call Progress and User-
Defined Tones to be detected/generated by the Media Gateway board.
CPT file may contain definitions of the following tones:
Call Progress Tones
User-Defined Tones
The Call Progress Tones are mostly used for Telephony In-Band Signaling
applications (e.g., Ring Back tone). Each tone can be configured as one of the
following types:
Continuous
Cadence (up to 4 cadences)
Burst
A tone can also be configured for Amplitude Modulated (AM) (only 8 of the Call
Progress Tones can be AM tones). The Call Progress Tones frequency range is 300
Hz to 1890 Hz.
The User-Defined Tones are general-purpose tones to be defined by the user. They
can be set only as 'Continuous' and their frequency range is 300 Hz to 3800 Hz.
The maximum number of tones that can be configured for the User Defined and Call
Progress Tones together is 32. The maximum number of frequencies that may be
configured in the User Defined and Call Progress Tones together is 64 (each tone
may be composed of more than one frequency).
