Graceful Reboot
In normal operation, performing a graceful reboot is not recommended, as it could lead to service interruption.
So, there are a few exceptions as to why you would want to do this, not limited to:
- It was recommended by a DuVoice support technician.
- There is a service or connection issue being diagnosed.
- You're modifying the system's configuration.
Overview
Please stick to this explicitly order of steps, as issues can arise if you do not:
- Shutdown DuVoice services (this must be done BEFORE Dialogic).
- Shutdown Dialogic HMP telephony drivers.
- Check Dialogic settings. (Optional, but highly recommended, if you’re confident with working with IP addresses).
- Reboot the DuVoice server.
- Wait for the system to start up.
- Test services.
Shutdown DuVoice Services
This MUST be done before shutting down Dialogic.
Find and Open Activity Monitor
Normally, there should be a shortcut on the desktop.
However, here are some instructions in case there isn't:
- Navigate to the start menu.
- Then if you're on Windows 11, click 'all'.
- Open the “DV2000” folder.
- Then click the “Activity Monitor” application.
Shutdown Services
- Click on the ‘service’ drop-down menu option.
- Within that drop-down, click ‘shutdown’.
- Wait until the orb in the bottom left of the activity monitor application turns red and says ‘shutdown’.
Shutdown the Dialogic HMP Telephony Drivers
Find and Open Configuration Manager
- Navigate to the start menu.
- Open then the “Dialogic HMP” folder, then the “Configuration Manager - DCM” application.
Stop Services
- Once opened, press the red stop button.
- It will load as it is stopping. Wait until the ‘system status’ section at the bottom says ‘stopped’.
- Keep this window open during the next step.
Check Dialogic Settings
Please note: This step is optional.
- Click on the line that contains “HMP_Software”. It will highlight it blue.
- Double-click on that same line to open the properties' menu.
- Click on the ‘default IP address’ tab at the top.
- Make sure the bubble is set to the right IP address.
- Here are some invalid IP addresses that should NOT be used:
- Any ‘loop-back’ addresses: ‘127.0.0.1’ or ‘::1’
- Any APIPA addresses (they start with 169.254. the rest is variable): 169.254.X.X
- Any IPv6 addresses (they’re longer, have colons, and sometimes letters): 2001:db8:3333:4444:5555:6666:7777:8888
- If you have multiple valid addresses, find the one that connects to the phone network, if noted anywhere, and select it.
- If you made any changes, hit apply, and ok.
- Close out of this window.
Reboot the Server
- Open start menu.
- Right-click on ‘power’ logo.
- Click on ‘restart’.
- If you’re on-site, instead of 'restart' press ‘shutdown’ then press the power button to boot the DuVoice server.
After Powering On
Login and Open Applications
- Once the DuVoice server is back online, log in to Windows.
- Then open the DuVoice ‘activity monitor’ and Dialogic’s ‘configuration manager’ as you did before.
- Wait roughly 5-10 minutes. (By default, these two applications should start their services on their own).
Manual Service Start
- If nothing has changed within these two windows, we’ll need to first start Dialogic.
- It's important that Dialogic is started BEFORE DuVoice.
- Click the green ‘play’ shaped button within the Dialogic application.
- Wait for the ‘system status’ section at the bottom to say ‘running’.
- Once it’s running, return to ‘activity monitor’.
- Click on the ‘service’ drop-down menu option.
- Within that drop-down, click ‘start’.
- Wait until the orb in the bottom left of the activity monitor application turns green and says ‘running’.
Test Services
- Please make a test and see if you can access voicemail.
- Or if you rebooted for another reason, please test that functionality instead.
