    autodiscovering call paths?

    I am struggling to understand the language on page 20 of the VoIP Admin Guide regarding discovering call path Configurations. As I understand it, if you have added a VoIP node to the Orion database using a read/write string, then the VoIP application can autoconfigure the IP SLA commands on the device if needed. Right?

    However, here is a section from the ADmin Guide that confuses me:

    "If either of the following conditions applies to your installation, VoIP Monitor can attempt to automatically discover the call path configuration data required to enable IP SLA operations for your VoIP sites:

    1. You decided to manually configure IP SLA operations for a VoIP site.
    2. You opted not to provide a read/write community string when you added a VoIP device to Orion System Manager. "

    What does that mean? Is VoIP trying to discover call paths that are already configured on the device through a read only string? Or, are you attempting to configure the device for IP SLA which would require a RW string that #2 says you already decided not to do?

    Don't understand what this section of the Admin guide is talking about. Thanks for the help.

    Hi freeman,

    This section is refering to adding the VoIP sites to VoIP monitor, not configuring IPSLA. This is normally used by someone who can get R/W access and has had someone else with that access set up IPSLA ahead of this step.

    Re: autodiscovering call paths?

    Oh, so the admin guide is not implying that VoIP Monitor will still attempt to configure IP SLAoperations when it says ""If either of the following conditions applies to your installation, VoIP Monitor can attempt to automatically discover the call path configuration data required to enable IP SLA operations for your VoIP sites:".

    This is assuming that the user will do this manually I suppose? Maybe this could have been worded a little better, but no big deal:)

    It is a bit confusing. I'll see if we can clean it up.
