In this chapter, you will learn about: The software structure of the ZXMSG 5200. Overview The ZXMSG 5200 system software can be functionally divided into operation support system, bearer system, H.248 system, CALL system, database system and NM system. Being independent from each other, each sub-system communicates with others by a messaging mechanism.
O&M Provision N et wo rk M anage ment S yst em ( NMS ) The ZXNM01 network management system used by the ZXMSG 5200 implements the “NM server + debugging and management terminal” functions and can meet maintenance management demands. Authorized users can log on the NMS at any maintenance location and visit the ZXMSG 5200 equipment.
The database system provides data support for the whole system. 1. System Functions The ZXMSG 5200 database system is composed of a database and a database management software. The database is a structurized data set, covering data themselves and relations between the data. The database, independent of applications, is the core and management object of the database system.
Page 48
The database adopts a relational structure and an object-oriented data organization mode. The ZXMSG 5200 data are categorized into data table, data table index and data table queue. Every kind of data can be defined as system data object category. The system will define and manage data in one same object category uniformly.
The traditional concurrent control mechanisms are divided into two kinds: Lock method and Timestamp method, which are not used in the ZXMSG 5200 system because the lock method needs additional overhead to test the dead lock and the lock method will affect efficiency since transactions need be rolled back, .

5. Inter-module communication This part provides communications between foreground background, and communications between active part and standby part. Processes on different modules can directly and logically perform addressing and communications. Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION...
Page 51
14. Diagnostic test This test module provides functions as fault test and fault location during the ZXMSG 5200 system running. The diagnostic test function can be executed once per time according to background requirements. 15. Version management This module maintains all system versions (including peripheral boards’), including version uploading.
IP source address can be switched to as the uniform external IP address of the ZXMSG 5200 system. When the ZXMSG 5200 sends out a RTP packet, the CNIC needs to process the RTP packet. When the system receives a RTP packet, the CNIC will distribute the RTP packet to the corresponding MPR board according to the packet’s RTP number.

The networking and applications of the ZXMSG 5200 system. Networking Modes Networking in NGN The ZXMSG 5200 is located at a media gateway position in the NGN and works with other media gateways. The application in the NGN is shown in Figure 19.
Networking for MSAN Upgrading to ZXMSG 5200 The networking mode of the ZXMSG 5200 in PSTN is shown in Figure 20. The MSAN provides the same interface as that of the ZXMSG 5200, while the difference is at the network side. The MSAN provides two interfaces at the network side.
ADSL modem modem In such applications, the ZXMSG 5200 is located at the end of the MAN. This networking mode enables a wide variety of services due to the SoftSwitch network architecture. At the same time, it takes advantage of rich bandwidth resources in the MAN.
The ZXMSG 5200 will also take the place of original end office switch or smoothly upgraded to the original ONU. This not only protects the investment of the operators, but also provides more new services on its SoftSwitch network architecture.
