Enables a process, for example the engine, to be started without the system. Default: false Note Do not change this value. |
| |
|
*.ClearingLocation |
Specifies whether the Clearing Location field in Call Context is overridden before outputting LRelease from LCM. The reason this may be needed is as follows:-NI2+ from the NAS always sends a clearing location of USER, which is generally mapped to clearing location of USER, but the switch receiving the release message may want to receive a location of TRANSIT so that the call can be re-routed. This clearing location property provides this ability. Values: • 0 = Normal mapping behavior, LCM will not override the Clearing Location field in Call Context. • 1 = LCM will override the Clearing Location in Call Context with LOCATION_USER • 2 = LCM will override the Clearing Location in Call Context with LOCATION_ PRIVATE_LOCAL • 3 = LCM will override the Clearing Location in Call Context with LOCATION_ PUBLIC_LOCAL • 4 = LCM will override the Clearing Location in Call Context with LOCATION_TRANSIT • 5 = LCM will override the Clearing Location in Call Context with LOCATION_ PUBLIC_REMOTE • 6 = LCM will override the Clearing Location in Call Context with LOCATION_ PRIVATE_REMOTE • 7 = LCM will override the Clearing Location in Call Context with LOCATION_ INTERNATIONAL • 8 = LCM will override the Clearing Location in Call Context with LOCATION_ INTERWORKING • 9 = LCM will override the Clearing Location in Call Context with LOCATION_ LOCAL_INTERFACE • 10 = LCM will override the Clearing Location in Call Context with LOCATION_ LOCAL_LOCAL • 11 = LCM will override the Clearing Location in Call Context with LOCATION_ LOCAL_REMOTE • 12 = LCM will override the Clearing Location in Call Context with LOCATION_ PACKET_MANAGER • 13 = LCM will override the Clearing Location in Call Context with LOCATION_ UNKNOWN Default: 0 (Normal mapping behavior) Note Option 13 may not be valid for all solutions. |

*.DefaultLocation |
Specifies whether to override the default location field in call context. This is so that the user can define a customer-specific default location for the system, which may differ from the default location set in the type definition of the protocol. The default location property provides this ability. Values: • 0 = Normal protocol-defined default value; LCM will not override the default location field in call context. • 1 = LCM will override the default location in call context with LOCATION_USER • 2 = LCM will override the default location in call context with LOCATION_ PRIVATE_LOCAL • 3 = LCM will override the default location in call context with LOCATION_ PUBLIC_LOCAL • 4 = LCM will override the default location in call context with LOCATION_TRANSIT • 5 = LCM will override the default location in call context with LOCATION_ PUBLIC_REMOTE • 6 = LCM will override the default location in call context with LOCATION_ PRIVATE_REMOTE • 7 = LCM will override the default location in call context with LOCATION_ INTERNATIONAL • 8 = LCM will override the default location in call context with LOCATION_ INTERWORKING • 9 = LCM will override the default location in call context with LOCATION_ LOCAL_INTERFACE • 10 = LCM will override the default location in call context with LOCATION_ LOCAL_LOCAL • 11 = LCM will override the default location in call context with LOCATION_ LOCAL_REMOTE • 12 = LCM will override the default location in call context with LOCATION_ PACKET_MANAGER • 13 = LCM will override the default location in call context with LOCATION_ UNKNOWN Default: 0 (Normal protocol-defined default value) Note Option 13 may not be valid for all solutions. |
*.desiredPlatformState |
Determines the desired platform state. Values: • master, if you have two (active and standby) Cisco MGC hosts • slave, if you have two (active and standby) Cisco MGC hosts • standalone, if you have a single-host system Default: none Note The value used is site specific.

ioChanCtl.ituIsNewZealand |
At startup, the IOCM reads the ioChanCtl.ituIsNewZealand boolean flag in XECfgParm.dat to see if the ITU implementation of MTP3 is to be set with NewZealand specific parameters. If the flag is set to true, then the associated MTP3 parameters are set to meet the following requirements: • The MTP3 restart procedure must be disabled. The SS7 IOCC currently provides this capability by setting timers T20 and T21 to zero. • The priority of all MTP3 messages must be set to zero. • The RCT (Route Congestion Test) Procedure must be disabled.
Note Set this parameter to true if running in or connecting to the Telecom New Zealand network.

*.logDirectory |
Location of the active and rotated log files. Default: ../var/log Note Make sure the log file has write permission for the LogServer. |
*.logFileNamePrefix |
Combined with the .log extension, defines the filename for log files. Default: platform Example: engine Note This setting can also redirect process messages from the default log file to a specified log file. For example, engine.logFileNamePrefix = engine instructs the log server to redirect messages from the engine process to the dedicated engine.log file. This functions with or without *.logDirectory. |
*.logMsgDrop |
Controls whether the log server drops debug-level messages when the UNIX domain socket used for log server communication is full. Values: • true = debug messages are dropped • false = debug messages are not dropped Default: true Note If you set this parameter to false for the engine and the engine logging level is Debug, the system can fail at high call rates. |
*.logPrio |
Defines the initial default logging level used by logging clients when sending messages to the logging server. Use the chg-log MML command to change logging levels after installation. You can specify different logging levels for each process. For example, engine.logPrio = Info Note This setting is the only way to modify the logging level of the current MML process. The chg-log command does not affect current MML process logging levels. Values: Note The values for this parameter are case sensitive, and the first letter must be capitalized. • Debug—This priority is used only for detailed debugging messages. Logging at this priority is not recommended during production because this causes a large volume of messages to be logged, which degrades system performance and can cause failover problems. • Trace—These messages capture protocol traffic. This priority is used for debugging. • Info—These messages indicate an operation that is proceeding as expected. • Warning—These messages indicate a problem exists that does not prevent the system from operating. This is the normal, default logging level for production. • Error—These messages indicate an unexpected error that is recoverable but degrades performance. • Critical—These messages indicate errors so severe that a process cannot continue operating. Default: Error Note Do not change this value unless you are debugging. |
*.LongCallTime |

*.platformId |
Enables the signaling controller to run more than one instance of the Cisco MGC software concurrently. Default: 1 Note Do not change this value. |
processes.dat |
Warning Do not modify the processes.dat file. This file should remain unmodified, as delivered with the Cisco MGC software. If this file is modified, procM may core dump when you start the MGC software. Contains information about all processes on the system that the Cisco MGC is responsible for monitoring. There are three different monitoring levels: – Active Process—identified in the record that is controlled and monitored directly by the Process Manager. – Passive Process—identified in the record that does not communicate with the Process Manager. – Monitoring Process—periodically runs an executable or script and sets or clears an alarm based on the return code. This type of process may monitor other processes or tasks that can be checked programmatically, such as the amount of disk space, system daemon existence, and established process dependency. Additionally, this file contains information related to the frequency that the health of each process is checked and how to restart it. |
*.RedirectingATree |
Used to control A-number screening/analysis via A-digit tree. This parameter allows the analysis system to use the A-Digit tree for mapping to the BLACKLIST function on the Redirecting CLI value. It uses the A-Digit tree to allow for black screening on the redirecting number parameter included in the IAM. Currently, when the parameter MDLANumberScreening is set to 1 in the XECfgParm.dat file, screening is done on the redirecting number. This works when screening individual numbers but does not allow block ranges to be screened, as is the case when using DialPlan Screening in the Digit Tree functions. Use an editor such as vi to manually add the *.RedirectingATree parameter to the XECfgParm.dat file in the following file locations and set its value: /opt/CiscoMGC/etc/XECfgParm.dat /opt/CiscoMGC/etc/CONFIG_LIB/new/XECfgParm.dat Valid values: 0 = Default; indicates the Calling Party Number (CGPN) that will be used for A-number screening/analysis via A-digit tree. 1 = Indicates that the Redirecting Number should be used for A-number screening/analysis via A-digit tree if the incoming signaling message contains both the CPN and Redirecting Number or just the Redirecting Number.
Note This property is only effective when BLACKLIST is provisioned. If Screening is data filled and this property is set to 1, then Redirecting Number is used for screening. However, if result types other than BLACKLIST/SCREENING are encountered when Redirecting Number is used during A-number Tree Analysis, an alarm RedirectingNbrFail (informational alarm) is generated.
|
*.runAsDaemon |
Enables processes to run in the background. Default: False • logger.runAsDaemon = false • procM.runAsDaemon = true (runs in the background) • MML.runAsDaemon = false Note Do not change the default values for these settings or the system might not operate correctly. For Release 7.4(7) and later, logger.runAsDaemon should be false. For earlier releases, this should be true. |
*.SelectTermCustGrpId |
This boolean parameter applies only to Nailed Solutions. If this parameter is not defined, it defaults to False. If SelectTermCustGrpId is set to True and CUSTGRPID of the Originating Leg SigPath is 0000, then you must select CUSTGRPID of the Terminating Leg SigPath. If SelectTermCustGrpId is set to False, you should always select CUSTGRPID of the Originating Leg SigPath. Default: False |
