IP Media Port

The IP Media Port object describes a set of resources managed by a single IP address, which functions as a port on a VoIP communications card.

Each IP Media Port object is a child of an Adaptor object with adaptor type PB3000 Adaptor, PB3100 Adaptor, PB4000 Adaptor, PB4500 Adaptor or PB5000 Adaptor.

In the EMS System Explorer, the name shown for each IP Media Port indicates

For example, 'IP Media Port (Controller A, Slot 1, Port 1)'.

In general, you will add IP Media Port objects using the "create all ports" action on the parent Adaptor object, and should not need to create them individually.


Parameter

Access

Description
IP Media Port number Create An identifier for this IP Media Port. The valid port numbers depend on the parent adaptor type, as follows.
  • A PB3000 adaptor has two child IP Media Ports, with port numbers 17 and 18.
  • A PB3100, PB4000, PB4500 or PB5000 adaptor has one child IP Media Port, with port number 1.
Deactivation mode Change Specifies how child objects should be deactivated when deactivating this object. Values:
  • Normal (default)
    Shut down child objects normally before deactivating the object.
  • Quiesce
    Deactivating the IP Media Port in quiesce mode will wait for all existing child objects using the port to be completed before deactivation. No new child objects using this port will be accepted during this deactivation period.
  • Abort
    Deactivate the object and all its child objects immediately. (This may result in errors at remote systems.)
If a Normal or Quiesce deactivation is already in progress, you can force a faster deactivation by changing the value from Normal to Quiesce or from Quiesce to Abort.
IP address Change Inactive / Read only The IP address used for VoIP communications on this port.
  • In a VP3500 or MG3500, this field is read only.
  • In a VP3510, MG3510, VP2510 or MG2510, specify a standard IPv4 dotted-decimal IP address.

Alarm log correlator - Attention Required Read only Identifier of the log message for the event that caused the last Attention Required alarm state for this object. This field is reset when Attention Required alarm events is reset to zero.
Attention Required alarm events Read only / Reset Number of times (since the alarm count was reset) that this object's alarm state has gone to Attention Required.
Alarm state changed timestamp Read only The time at which the Alarm state last changed.
Alarm events reset timestamp Read only The time at which the Attention Required alarm events was last reset to zero.
