MGC Registration with UC x Server
After configuration of the MGC is complete, the card will register with the UCX Server. The MGC faceplate
will display the configured superloop and shelf.
The mgcinfoshow command will display the configured parameters, as seen in the example below:

The TLAN IP and DSP daughterboard IP parameters entered in the UCX Media Gateway panel must match
the MGC configuration as displayed via the mgcinfoshow command.
If the TLAN IP parameters do not match the values entered in the UC X Media Gateway panel, speech path
will be affected.

following steps can be used to update TLAN IP parameters:
1. Login to MGC.
2. Use the command mgcTlanUpdate to update the TLAN IP parameters
3. In the example below, the parameters configured are:
192.168.1.20 is the TLAN IP address
ffffff00 represents the subnet mask 255.255.255.0
192.168.1.1 is the TLAN gateway address
ldb>mgcTlanUpdate "192.168.1.20:ffffff00", "192.168.1.1"
MGC Registration Status
1. Login to MGC.
2. Use the command mgcinfoshow to query MGC registration status.
ldb>mgcinfoshow

Procedure to reset MGC password
The password can be reset on MGC with telnet connection to MGC card ELAN IP address or through a
serial port connection. This procedure will not work through SSH connection.
This procedure requires easy physical access to MGC card, as the reset button on faceplate of MGC card
needs to be pressed.
