ReadiVoice Administration & Maintenance Guide
114 Proprietary & Confidential
The VCE/HMod cards in the bridge must be able to access files on the
server in order to boot and to initiate various processes. If you’re also
rebooting the server, be sure it has finished booting before restoring power
to the bridge.
4 Wait at least fifteen seconds. Then, turn on the bridge.
The bridge powers up and the VCE/HMod cards boot from the server.
Changing the ReadiVoice Password
From time to time, you may want to change the ReadiVoice cnow user
password. It’s defined in several places, so you must change:
• The login password for cnow on the server (and on a boot server, if used).
• The password for both the cnow user and the
SYSTEM (Telnet) cnow user in
the ReadiVoice application (several places) and in the
vbootp.db
bridge
configuration file.
Your ReadiVoice installation includes a shell script,
cnow_password_change
,
that lets you easily make all the password changes for the ReadiVoice
application and bridges.
To change the cnow password:
1 Open a Telnet session to the CACS as user cnow and switch user to root
(or log into the CACS as root and use an XTerm window).
2 Change directories to
/rahome/bin
and enter
cnow_password_change
.
The script prompts you twice to enter the cnow user password.
3 Enter and confirm the new password.
The script prompts you twice to enter the
SYSTEM cnow user password.
4 Enter and confirm the new password. Be sure it’s the same password you
entered in the previous step.
The script encrypts the new passwords and updates them in various
application configuration files and processes, the database, and the
vbootp.db
file (from which the bridges will be updated).
5 If your system includes one or more boot servers, repeat the preceding
steps on the boot server(s).
6 One at a time, reboot the bridges.
Especially for InnoVox 4000 bridges, it’s important to wait until a bridge
finishes booting before rebooting the next bridge.
Caution!
Perform this procedure only during maintenance periods when there are no active
conferences.
