Chapter 2 SRG50 overview The SRG50 is a software application that leverages the BCM50 platform. It is optimized to provide feature transparency to the main office call server and to act as a survival remote gateway in a CS 1000 IP branch office environment.
The Installation Checklist and Quick Start Guide is provided on the SRG50 Documentation CD that is shipped with your SRG50 system. Instructions in that guide are referenced in the following procedures. Also, the relevant BCM50 default IP addresses, user names, and passwords are...

The SRG50 is positioned primarily to support IP telephones and clients. However, analog devices can be supported using analog station modules (ASM), or by using an analog terminal adapter (ATA2) in conjunction with a digital station module (DSM). The SRG50 does not support digital or ISDN telephones.
They are provided to facilitate communications between SRG and main office personnel.

Table 6 SRG50 terminology (Sheet 2 of 2) Term Description Target Lines Target lines are internal, virtual paths between trunks and telephones for incoming calls (only). They provide flexibility in the way trunks and telephones can be associated: target lines can be used to direct an incoming call to one or more telephones, direct one or more trunks to one phone, or direct several trunks (in a line pool) to one or more phones.

Chapter 2 SRG50 overview Figure 1 Normal mode Branch office IP phones WLAN handsets IP telephones connected at the SRG are registered with the main office call server and are under main office control. They operate as branch user sets and have access to all telephony services and features that the call server offers to IP telephones connected directly to the main office.

This display is configurable by installers to meet local language and usage norms. In local mode, the IP users connected at the branch office are under the control of the SRG50 call services. As such, the normal main office call server features are not available. The SRG50 offers a basic feature set when in local mode which allows IP Phones to continue to make and receive calls internally within the branch office and over the provisioned local PSTN interfaces.
Services access is also supported. No local applications or Business Communication Manager features are supported in local mode operation. Analog devices continue to be under the control of the SRG50 system. It is the intent of local mode to provide continued access to the PSTN for critical calls and emergency services.
SRG trunks because the Virtual Trunks are not available. (SRG analog [500/ 2500-type] telephones are accessible if alternate routing is available through the PSTN.) For more information about virtual trunks for SRG50, see the Main Office Configuration for Survivable Remote Gateway 50 (NN43001-307).
Virtual trunk capacity The SRG supports a number of simultaneous calls depends on the specific codec type used. SRG50 supports 24 virtual IP trunks that are either H.323 only, SIP only, or a combination of the H.323 and SIP. In normal mode, the codec selection used is controlled by specific programming of the CS1000. In this case: SRG50 supports up to a maximum of 15 Virtual trunks unless both the intrazone and interzone codecs are configured as Best Quality (G.711) in which case, the maximum number of...
