Private Branch Exchange Summary (PBX). The PBXgateway is referred as a “gateway ” because it is the central receiving point for routing voice conversations from one or more locations to the PBX.
What is the EXTender™ 4000 for IP? The EXTender™ 4000 provides remote voice access to a corporate PBX for a single remote user. Remote users can connect to the PBXgateway via a 10/100BaseT Ethernet connection using IP packet transmission. Remote users’ phones will connect into the remote module via an RJ-45 phone jack, and their phone traffic will be placed in IP packets and sent out to the LAN via a 10/100BaseT Ethernet connection to the PBXgateway.
Connections vs. Remotes Types of connections Type Maximum number of Remotes per Gateway RVP_Direct RVP_IP Many remotes per Gateway. (up to 12) RVP_IP Table 1: Connections vs. Remotes * Remote Voice Protocol™ (RVP), MCK Proprietary protocol. PBXgateway System Administrator’s Guide Remotes Supported Model(s) Protocols...

Synchronous-Serial Connection Definition: A connection type utilizing the RVP protocol, encapsulated over HDLC, to Synchronous send voice packets over the network (using traditional network devices: TA, -Serial CSU/DSU, FRAD) using a synchronous-serial bit stream via the WAN port of the unit.
Asynchronous-Serial Connection An Asynchronous-Serial Connection is a connection where voice packets are sent at irregular intervals. Each voice packet is preceded with a Start Bit and followed by a Stop Bit. The timing of the transmission is not determined by the timing of a previous character. Figure 3: Advantages: •...
Voice over IP (VoIP) Definition: A network connection allowing voice packets to be delivered to the Voice over alternate site using the Internet Protocol (IP). In most IP circuits two types of devices are utilized. A server (PBXgateway) is the main hub of information being requested, and a client (the Remote unit) or user obtaining the information.
Digital Telephone/PBX Features All features of the PBX are maintained providing individual users seamless access to the corporate phone system from remote locations. Digital phones extended by the PBXgateway have the full functionality of phones located in the corporate facility.
Call Suspend The Call Suspend feature allows the telecom manager to reduce dialup ISDN costs by bringing down the ISDN connection when all phones are inactive for a configurable period of time. When the line is disconnected the phones will display that they are in the Call Suspend mode. Whenever a user goes off- hook or an incoming call occurs, the ISDN connection is brought back up and all phones are taken out of Call Suspend mode.
IP network. However, Call Suspend is useful in IP environments as it reduces bandwidth usage by preventing unnecessary PBX signaling traffic from being sent across the WAN link when the phones at the branch are not being used (minimum timeout of 30 minutes, as with ISDN configurations).
The data is compressed using 32 Kbps ADPCM. Each of the ports on an EXTender 6000 or PBXgateway will extend both of the PBX B channels, allowing the use of the second B channel for analog applications such as fax. You can send faxes by simply connecting the fax machine to the expansion card in the digital phone connected to the remote unit.
Voice Compression vs. Bandwidth The PBXgateway provides a choice of voice compression algorithms to allow up to 12 phones to be extended over T1, Fractional T1, or ISDN lines. The compression algorithm selected determines the bandwidth required. A digital transmission link at speeds of 1.544 million bits per second (or Twenty–four DS0s). DS0: The worldwide standard speed for digitized voice conversation at 64,000 bits per second.

DRAM Tests – Checks the internal DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) chips. Selftest – Diagnostic routine to verify operation of various hardware components of the unit. ROM Countdown –...
Page 150
Step # 2 Selftest After the DRAM tests a set of selftest diagnostics run. The selftest diagnostics only affect the LEDs if there is a failure. On failure, the Power LED changes from solid green to solid yellow (and remains that way as long as the unit is powered on, or the selftests are run again and pass).
Page 151
Step #3 ROM Countdown After the diagnostics run the ROM goes through a short countdown on the console. During this time the WAN1 LED flickers green. The WAN1 LED goes solid green and the WAN2 LED ‘flickers’ green while the runtime image is being loaded into memory.
System Status LEDs The PBXgateway and Branch Office units have four tri-color LEDs – (RED, Yellow, and Green) indicating the unit status once the runtime image is operating and the status condition of the WAN ports has been determined. IMPORTANT: Refer to page 157 for troubleshooting the units using the System Status LEDs. LED LABEL WAN1 enabled...
The PBXgateway and Branch Office units each have eight or twelve LEDs indicating the status of the twelve user phones (Branch unit) or PBX/KSU ports (PBXgateway). IMPORTANT: Refer to page 158 for troubleshooting the unit using the Port Status LEDs.

Voice Quality Expectations EXTenders use industry-standard voice compression methods to allow multiple users to connect using less bandwidth. While the voice quality should remain excellent in all circumstances, you may notice some minor affects depending on the voice compression selected. The person you are talking to on the other end should not notice these affects in most instances.
PBX users, will not be perceived by the party on the other end of the call. EXTender’s Impact on Echo Because MCK EXTenders deal exclusively with digital audio on the line side of a PBX, they cannot cause any echo. However, if you experience any echo from your connection to the PSTN (Public Switched Telephony Network), the EXTender application could make it noticeable because of increased delay in the audio path.
Look for: Significant “NC” values on any phone port. This value indicates that the port is enabled but there is a bad connection between the Remote unit and the phone or the PBXgateway and the PBX. Figure 59: Port Stats...

Page 166
WAN Bandwidth Look for: Any “Clipped ” (Kbps) count. This indicates packets that were not sent as there may not have been enough bandwidth. If this value exceeds the actual Bandwidth that you have assigned in the WAN menu, you may need to increase the WAN Bandwidth. Figure 61: WAN Bandwidth PBXgateway System Administrator’s Guide...
Page 167
Connect Info Look for: A “Current State -> extended” value of “No”. This indicates that the remote phone is not extended, or may not be connected. Significant “Lost Signal” values on any phone port. This value indicates that the port has not completed phone connections.
Page 168
Connect Stats Look for: • A high number of "Connect tries". This indicates the remote is trying to connect to the PBXgateway. If this value is high (maybe above 20), there could be a WAN problem. • A high number of "Disconnect->carrier lost". This directly relates to WAN outages. The WAN devices may be intermittent.

Appendix B: Bandwidth Requirements This Appendix provides information on the required bandwidth necessary to accommodate remote users connected to the PBXgateway using a synchronous-serial connection via a WAN port. PBXgateway System Administrator’s Guide...
Voice Compression for Each User Number of Users The number of users is the number of simultaneous users (digital PBX phones) that will be extended at any given branch location. Physically, there could be up to twelve simultaneous users for each PBXgateway unit.
Voice Compression The PBXgateway deploys voice compression in order to extend multiple users across fewer data channels. The PBXgateway supports the following voice compression algorithms: 32 Kbps ADPCM, 24 Kbps ADPCM and G.729A. Depending on the voice compression algorithm selected, you may need anywhere from 16 Kbps (G.729A) up to 40 Kbps (ADPCM 32) per user.
Selecting the Proper Voice Compression The best voice quality is achieved by using the ADPCM 32 compression. The maximum quality comes at the expense of the highest utilized bandwidth. The largest voice compression is achieved by using G.729A. If you are using this algorithm, you will save on bandwidth and still achieve voice quality that is regarded as near toll.

SNMP: The network management architecture for managing virtually any network type including TCP/IP and other protocols (IPX, etc…). SNMP operates on top of the Internet Protocol (IP). The purpose of SNMP is to flag failures, or error conditions with the Switch and/or Remote units and to automatically notify the network administrator.

SNMP Set up This Addendum covers information for installing all support software, accessing and identifying specific trap information, viewing the “Alarm Log” and walking the MIB. Set up steps 1. Load a third party-network management software package, such as HP OpenView®, onto the PC used to manage the PBXgateway Switch and Remote units.
Page 238
Setting the Community Password The EXTender comes with a default SNMP read password also known as a Community String. This password must be specified inside the third party software to allow the user to view MIB objects. Note: Before setting the password, the units must have an IP Address assigned by the network administrator and must be part of the software “Network View”.

Appendix F: ConneX Application Guide Use this Appendix to help you get your ConneX phone up and running. Quick Setup steps, as well as key presses and screen displays are included to help you with your ConneX application. PBXgateway System Administrator’s Guide...
Personal ConneX Information IMPORTANT: The terms RemoteConneX and MobileConneX will be referred to as ConneX, unless otherwise noted in this document. This guide was prepared for: ________________________________________________ (A) What number will I dial to access the ConneX PBXgateway? __________________________________________________ (B) What extension will I dial to access my corporate voicemail? __________________________________________________ (C) What is my password? __________________________________________________...
The ConneX application is especially attractive to mobile workers because they can receive calls and access the corporate PBX system and commonly used voice applications from anywhere. PBX applications that are accessible through your mobile phone include: internal dialing, hold, transfer, conferencing and dialtone.
When Jane wants to bypass long-distance toll charges, she dials into the ConneX PBXgateway using the number provided by the System Administrator to get PBX dialtone. Once she has accessed the dialtone she can place calls through the PBX system.
ConneX PBXgateway confirms that Jane is an authorized user, it will call her mobile phone back to connect her to the PBX. The user is not prompted to press the PBX key to accept the call. Security precautions prevent unauthorized access to the PBX system: Configure Jane’s port to Fixed or Fixed/Forced modes.
