Overview

The MX-ONE can comprise one or several MX-ONE Service Nodes, each, depending on the type of media gateway, can serve from one to fifteen media gateways. For more information, see the installation instructions for INSTALLING MX-ONE HARDWARE.

For each MX-ONE Service Node is assigned a Server number. Server 1 will distribute the configuration data to all other Servers. After the initial configuration, the Server 1 hosts the MX-ONE Service Node Manager, which provides a web interface to set the telephony related data for the system, like number series, operators, and so on. MX-ONE Provisioning Manager can be installed on any server part of the system or on a stand-alone, and it is used for configuring the user settings.

Network redundancy can be achieved by connecting the servers to a redundant network infrastructure and using Ethernet bonding.

Server redundancy is achieved by arranging the servers in clusters. A cluster is a number of servers with one designated standby server. The MX-ONE can have a maximum of 10 servers defined per cluster.

For more information about redundancy, see the description for MIVOICE MX-ONE.

Basic network configuration data setup for every Server needs to be done locally.

The media gateways are added to the system after the system configuration, in the post-installation routines.
Note: In a system with more than 32 Servers (LIMs), it is recommended to configure a Standard Server with large hard disk capacity as Server 1, or else it will not be possible to upgrade the system.
Note:

Do not use YAST, since it may cause system malfunctions. (Instead use the mxone_maintenance tool).
