Cisco Media Gateway Controller Node Manager 2.7(3)
Cisco
®
Media Gateway Controller (MGC) Node Manager supports the Cisco PGW 2200
Softswitch and provides a consolidated view of the other common Cisco components that
make up an analog to voice-over-IP (VoIP) gateway solution. It specifically helps
manages the call-control (MGC) functional layer as it bridges Signaling System 7 (SS7)
phone traffic between the traditional public switched telephone network (PSTN) and Cisco
next-generation packet networks—using either simple or intelligent call controls.
Q.
What is Cisco MGC Node Manager?
A.
Cisco MGC Node Manager is one of the Cisco element managers that provide device-specific
fault, configuration, performance, and security management capability for the Cisco PGW
2200 Softswitch. Cisco MGC Node Manager integrates management access to all Cisco PGW
2200 Softswitch components, effectively representing them as an SS7 node to the network
operator. Cisco Voice Services Provisioning Tool (VSPT) provides the provisioning for Cisco
PGW 2200 and is bundled with the Cisco MGC Node Manager 2.7(3). The Cisco PGW 2200
uses the MGC software technology, invented by Cisco, which constitutes the call-control
functional layer that bridges between traditional PSTN networks and next-generation packet
networks—supporting SS7 interconnect, and providing intelligent call-control and routing
functions in service provider networks.
Q.
Was VSPT a no-charge download at one time?
A.
VSPT 2.6(1) is still available as a no-charge download from Cisco.com.
Q.
What does Cisco MGC Node Manager 2.7(3) manage?
A.
View the Cisco MGC Node Manager data sheet or release notes for the latest supported
device tables. Data sheets and release notes are located on the Cisco MGC Node Manager

Q.
Does Cisco MGC Node Manager support fault, configuration, accounting, performance,
and security (FCAPS) management functions?
A.
Cisco MGC Node Manager provides features that support fault, performance, and security
management. See the bullets below about accounting management. Cisco VSPT provides
configuration management.
