Software and License Installation
*Note1: If you have purchased MAPS™HD product, you will receive a network appliance with all the necessary
PC hardware interfaces, Operating System, required MAPS™applications, GL’s HD NICs, and licenses pre-
installed. And therefore, you will need to only plug-in the monitor, and connect the network appliance to the
power outlet. Then connect the USB Hardware Dongle you have received with the shipment, and proceed to
verification steps.
•PC Requirements
oWindows® 7 and above Operating System (64 bit Only).
oCore i7 (or equivalent), 32 GB Memory, GL’s HD NIC (4x 1 Gbps / 2x10 Gbps NIC ports), Regular PC NIC, and
USB 2.0 Ports.
•NOW PLUG-IN the USB Hardware Dongle to the PC to the USB 2.0 port of your computer. A red light should appear on the
dongle indicating that the device is functioning correctly and ready to use.
•You can verify if the purchased licenses are installed. Navigate to C:\Program Files\GL Communications Inc\GLDONGLE
directory, execute appl_list.exe and confirm that the following licenses are listed:
➢PKS124 (MAPS™ MGCP)
➢PKS102 (RTP Traffic)
➢PKS109 (HD RTP Traffic) **Note2
**Note2: Additional licenses may be required for optional codecs and other traffic options. Please verify that all licenses purchased
are displayed using the appl_list.exe utility.
Verification
The configuration explained below allows MAPS™ MGCP application to act as MGC (Media Gateway Controller) as well as MG
(Media Gateway). This example requires 2 Pcs, PC 1 is configured as MGC and PC 2 is having dual NIC which is configured as
MG1 and MG2 to control TGW (Trunking Gateway). MAPS™ MGCP configured as MGC is connected to the third-party Media
Gateway. MGC accepts registrations from the MG and both the MG1 and MG2 on PC2 will handle the RTP traffic (Auto Traffic
Files/Digits/Tones, User Defined Traffic, and IVR).
GL’s HD card connections verification:
Verify that network cables are properly connected. Make sure that the cable connectors are pushed in correctly. You should feel and
hear a small click while plugging the cables. Also, you can use the monitoring tool (refer to Troubleshoot section) to check the
Ethernet links UP or DOWN status.

Troubleshoot
•“Security Error: Application is not licensed”, if you see this error when you run MAPS™ MGCP it indicates a problem with
either your dongle or license file.
➢First verify that the dongle is plugged in and the red light is on
➢Go to C:\Program Files\GL Communications Inc\GLDONGLE
➢Run appl_list.exe. Verify that there is a line in the table reading PKS124 MAPS™MGCP with the serial number
you noted above.
•If the SIP/RTP Core console does not invoke with the MAPS™ TestBed start-up, check for the following:
➢RTP Soft Core licenses may not be installed for the dongle used. Run appl_list.exe available in the C:\Program
Files\GL Communications Inc\GLDONGLE directory. Verify that there is a line in the table reading PKS102
RTP Soft Core with the serial number you noted above.
➢Verify that the MGC IP Address and RTP IP Address in the testbed parameters are configured with the proper
system IP address.
•Verify Physical Connection
➢Check manually the LEDs on the HD card connected, if the GL’s HD Interface card is located at local system
➢To verify from remote location, run Monitoring.exe utility, which displays the link status SFP Type connection and the
auto negotiated link speed.
➢Important Column Description:
P - Port number
A - Adapter number
Type - Connection type
Link - Link speed (Down indicates cable is unplugged or SFP module is incompatible)
