  • Page 44 Chapter 2 System telephony networking overview Routing for tandem networks In tandem networks, each node needs to know how to route calls that do not terminate locally. To do this, you set up routes for each connecting node by defining destination codes for each route. If the node is also connected to the public network, the usual routing is required for that connection.

    Chapter 3 Telephony programming: Configuring call traffic Telephony call traffic has a number of configuration requirements. Some configuration is common to both incoming and outgoing traffic. Other settings are specific to the call direction. In the case of private networking, call configuration becomes more complex, as remote systems send calls over the private network to other nodes or to your system PSTN network and your local PSTN handles calls directed to remote nodes through your system.

  • Page 73: Application Resources Overview

    Chapter 4 Application Resources overview Application Resources is a management tool for allocating system resources such as signalling channels, VDI channels, media channels, and DSP resources. While the BCM manages resources for different services by making resources available as they are needed, you can manage the resources by setting minimums and maximums for each service.
  • Page 74: Setting Values For Application Resources

    Chapter 4 Application Resources overview Setting values for application resources For all applications, you can modify the minimum and maximum values. The minimum values reflect the number of resources that will always be reserved for a particular application, while the maximum reflects the maximum instances of an application the system will allow at once.
  • Page 75: Sip Trunks

    Chapter 4 Application Resources overview Voice mail and CC resources These resources require DSP resources. Because there is often a slight delay in allocating DSP resources, you may want to set the minimum to 2 or more. This setting generally ensures that there is no delay occurs in setting up the application.

  • Page 529: Silence Suppression

    Appendix B Silence suppression The following describes using silence suppression on half-duplex and full-duplex links: Silence suppression, also known as voice activity detection, reduces bandwidth requirements by as much as 50 percent. The following explains how silence suppression functions on a Business Communications Manager network.
  • Page 530 Appendix B Silence suppression Figure 146 One call on a half-duplex link without silence suppression Conversation Hello Fred. this is Susan Do you have a minute? Fred Here. Sure! Conversation Bandwidth used Channel/Link max Time Voice frames sent even when speaker is silent When silence suppression is enabled, voice packets are only sent when a speaker is talking.
  • Page 531: Silence Suppression On Full-Duplex Links

    Appendix B Silence suppression The effect of silence suppression on half-duplex links is, therefore, to reduce the peak and average bandwidth requirements by approximately 50% of the full transmission rate. Because the sender and receiver are sharing the same bandwidth, this effect can be aggregated for a number of calls. The following figure shows the peak bandwidth requirements for two calls on a half-duplex link with silence suppression enabled.
  • Page 532 Appendix B Silence suppression Figure 149 One call on a full-duplex link without silence suppression Conversation Hello Fred. This is Susan. Do you have a minute? Fred here. Sure! Conversation Bandwidth used Channel/Link max Time Channel/Link max Time Voice frames sent even when speaker is silent When silence suppression is enabled, voice packets are only sent when a speaker is talking.
  • Page 533: Comfort Noise

    Appendix B Silence suppression When several calls are made over a full-duplex link, all calls share the same transmit path and they share the same receive path. Since the calls are independent, the peak bandwidth must account for the possibility that all speakers at one end of the link may talk at the same time. Therefore, the peak bandwidth for n calls is n * the full transmission rate.

Your service provider can also provide you with specific information to help you understand what suits your requirements.
  • Page 536 Appendix C ISDN overview Analog versus ISDN ISDN offers significantly higher bandwidth and speed than analog transmission because of its end-to-end digital connectivity on all transmission circuits. Being digital allows ISDN lines to provide better quality signaling than analog POTS lines, and ISDN out-of band data channel signaling offers faster call set up and tear down.

    Appendix C ISDN overview Your service provider supplies a Terminal Endpoint Identifier (TEI) and DN to support D-packet service. The TEI is a number between 00 and 63 (in Canada, the default range is 21-63). Your service provider may also supply you with a DN to program your D-packet device. The DN for D-packet service becomes part of the dialing string used by the D-packet to call the packet handler.

    The actual digit string 911 is not hard-coded into the system. More than one emergency number can be supported. If transmission of internal extension numbers is not required or desired, Nortel recommends that the person in charge of the system maintain a site map or location directory so that emergency personnel can rapidly locate a BCM set given its DID number.
