3 VCX device management
A Voice Core Exchange (VCX) device refers to a Linux server that manages software components such as
call processors and VCX applications in a VoIP network. After SIP endpoints (IP telephones or gateways)
are enabled, users can access PSTNs through a VCX device.
VCX device management functions include displaying detailed device information, querying devices,
synchronizing devices, and configuring and displaying basic device or component parameters. VCX
device management functions do not include adding or deleting VCX devices. A VCX device can be
added or deleted only in the IMC platform. For information about how to add or delete a VCX device,
see HP IMC Base Platform Administrator Guide. After a VCX device is added or deleted, the VSM
synchronizes the adding or deleting operation automatically. The following sections describe the VCX
device management functions in details.

The VSM manages VCX devices as a type of network resources. A network administrator can view, query,
and synchronize VCX devices.

VCX Device List contents
{
Status—Current status of the VCX device. Options are Unknown, Normal, Informational,
Warning, Minor, Major, and Critical. Device status is identified by different colors.
{
Device Label—Label of the VCX device. Click the label link to view the Device Details page. For
information about the VCX devices, see “
Configuring the VCX device ”.
{
Site Name—Name of the site where the VCX device is located. You need to specify site names
and types during network construction. HP recommends that you use the location of the VCX
device as the site name. Do not modify the site name at will because the change of site names
leads to the database change or even a network fault if related configurations are not updated
in time.
{
Billing Server—Whether or not the device is a billing server. In a VoIP network, only one VCX
device can be configured as the billing server. Bill information on all the other servers is
imported to this billing server.
{
Site Type—Type of the site where the VCX device is located. Options are Regional, Branch,
Standalone, and Unknown. If multiple VCX devices need to be deployed in a company network
consisting of a headquarters and multiple branches, the types of these VCX devices include
both Regional and Branch.
− Regional—The VCX device is deployed at the headquarters.
− Branch—The VCX device is deployed at a branch.
