Installing Additional Boards

Depending on your server's hardware configuration, you can install up to four LiveGateway boards on each
server in your network. With four boards installed on a server, four H.323/H.320 calls per server could occur
simultaneously. For example, if one hundred LiveLAN systems are deployed over a network with one
LiveManager, you could install four LiveGateway boards, with each board shared by 25 different LiveLAN
systems.

Before installing additional LiveGateway boards, make sure your PC meets the minimum

system requirements

,

and that the I/O port base address and IRQ settings of the additional boards do not conflict with other board
settings. Each LiveGateway board must have a separate IRQ and I/O port base address setting.

Note: Each LiveGateway board must have a separate IRQ and I/O port base address setting.

Electrical current from power, telephone, and signal cables is potentially hazardous. When
installing, moving, or opening your computer, disconnect all signal cables in accordance with
national and local laws. Do not connect or disconnect LiveGateway components when your
computer is on, as you might damage the LiveGateway hardware. LiveGateway boards can be
damaged by static discharge. To prevent electrostatic damage to the board, do not disconnect the
power cable from the computer.

To equalize static charge, ground yourself by touching the metal back panel of your computer.

To install additional LiveGateway boards:

1. Determine the appropriate IRQs and I/O addresses.
2.

Stop the LiveGateway service.

A message is displayed telling you the software is no longer loaded.

3. Shutdown and power down the server.
4. Install the additional board(s) into an available ISA or EISA full-length expansion slot.
5. Power on the server.
6. Run the

board diagnostics

to check for I/O conflicts.

7. Add the new board configuration information using the LiveGateway Configuration utility.
