The SRG is implemented on a BCM 50 platform and is connected to a CS 1000 at the main office through Virtual Trunks over a reliable IP WAN access facility. This configuration allows the call processing for the IP Phones at the SRG site to be centralized at the main office.
CS 1000M SG • CS 1000M MG Throughout this document, references to CS 1000 systems encompass all CS 1000 system types. The diagrams throughout this documentation show a CS 1000E main office. All of the systems appearing in the list perform identical main office functions as far as the SRG is concerned.

When configuring the NRS it is necessary to enable the NCS. Ensure that the check box “Network Connection Server enabled” is checked in the NRS configuration window of CS 1000 Element Manager. For information about configuring the NRS, see IP Peer Networking Installation and Commissioning (NN43001-313).
The branch office running SRG Release 3.0 requires the following at the main office: • CS 1000 hardware, running CS 1000 Release 4.0, CS 1000 Release 4.5, orCS 1000 Release 5.0 . • Configure at least one of the following packages for IP Peer Networking: —...

IP Phone user, on a user by user basis. The SRG 50 system implements the same interface used by the MG 1000B system to interact with the main office CS 1000 system. This allows the main office to identify attached clients and the local PSTN as branch office entities, enabling proper operation of dial plans and E911 access.
For further information about Local Mode functionality for SRG, see SRG50 Configuration Guide (NN40140-500). Virtual Trunks In order for endpoints in the CS 1000 network to access endpoints in local mode at the SRG or to access the PSTN at the SRG, Virtual Trunks are used over the LAN/WAN.
SRG and the rest of the CS 1000 network. As well, it allows for the selection of interzone bandwidth codecs for calls between the IP Phones in Normal Mode and the rest of the CS 1000 network. Adaptive Network Bandwidth Management Adaptive Network Bandwidth Management allows the system to dynamically react to Quality of Service (QoS) degradation and take corrective action.
26 Description Capacity Each CS 1000 main office can support up to 255 branch offices, which can be made up of any combination SRG and MGC based MG 1000B. SRG 50 Release 2.0 and later supports up to 80 survivable IP users. However, since all IP Phones register with the main office, the governing factor is the...
Outgoing calls can include local and, optionally, long distance calls. Nortel recommends that the Branch User ID (BUID) be the same at the branch office as the DN at the main office. A BUID has a maximum of 15 digits.
• When an IP Phone is in Local Mode, the SRG 50 does not provide all the features as those provided by the CS 1000 main office. In Local Mode, the SRG provides basic features, basic call handling, and basic routing capabilities only.
Page 33
DN length, DN (TN) range Numbering plan ID Type of number SRG 50 only supports CDP and UDP dialing plans. Nortel recommends that the SRG use CDP. The SRG supports only one dialing plan option at a time. CDP and UDP dialing plan options cannot be configured at the same time in the same system.

Therefore, the user can route calls to gateways that minimize long-distance costs, minimize bandwidth usage, or meet other criteria. Nortel recommends that customers use Coordinated Dialing Plan (CDP) between the main office and its branch offices since it enables all users, at the main office or the branch office, to call each other using just an...
The combination of zone-based digit manipulation and CS 1000 routing capabilities can be used to achieve many other routing outcomes for SRG user calls. Calling Line ID composition Digital manipulation is commonly used for digit insertion and deletion. It is also used for call type conversion before out-pulsing the digits to the Virtual Trunk.
• Configure IP Phones with the same zone number at both the main office and the branch office. Nortel also recommends that the Prime DN be the same at both the main and the branch offices. If different DN are configured, the dial-in numbers change when the branch office is in...

• "Network using Coordinated Dialing Plan" (page 154) Introduction CS 1000 supports Bandwidth Management on a network-wide basis so that voice quality can be managed between multiple Call Servers. Bandwidth management allows for codec selection and bandwidth limitations to be placed on calls, depending on whether the calls are intrazone or interzone.
Page 96
Codec configuration is performed for each node and is independent of the signaling gateway that is used on the node. The payload size on the CS 1000 must be set to 30 msec in order to work with the SRG.
Page 97
Bandwidth management enables administrators to define codec preferences for IP Phone to IP Phone calls controlled by the same CS 1000 system in the same zone. These calls are known as intrazone calls. This is different than the codec preferences for calls between an IP Phone on the CS 1000 system to a Virtual Trunk (potentially an IP Phone on another CS 1000 system) or calls to IP Phones in another zone.
Page 98
Each codec list contains more than one payload size for a given codec type (it depends on the codec configuration). Payload size must be set to 30 msec for proper functionality between the CS 1000 and the SRG. • Each codec list is sorted by order of preference (the first codec in the near end’s list is the near end’s most preferred codec, the first codec in...

Master/Slave information, is needed. Since any change to the Master/Slave algorithm implies a change to the H.323 standard, the new codec algorithm is used for Virtual Trunk calls between Nortel equipment. SIP Offer/Answer model The SIP codec negotiation is based on the Offer/Answer model with Session Description Protocol (SDP).
SRG 50 does not support G.723 codec. Interoperability between CS 1000 and SRG The SRG is designed to interoperate with CS 1000 in a manner similar to MG 1000B but with a limitation with respect to codec selection policy. Calls between branch IP Phones and branch analog phones are based on the interzone policy rather than the intrazone policy defined in the CS 1000...

— shared = shared DSP channels (default) — private = private DSP channels In CS 1000 Release 5.0, the zones that were described with BMG designator stay with BMG one, all the other zones are provided with MO designator. It is possible to update ZoneIntent using CHG ZONE command.
Description • • • Adaptive Network Bandwidth Management CS 1000 Release 4.5 supports the Adaptive Network Bandwidth Management feature. Description The Adaptive Network Bandwidth Management feature enhances the performance of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) networks based on real-time interaction. It provides the means to automatically adjust bandwidth limits and take corrective action in response to Quality of Service (QoS) feedback.

Bandwidth Management table. If there have not been any calls between two Call Servers within the configured time, the Call Server is removed from the table. For example, if Call Server A has Call Server B in the table, and no call has been placed between A and B for the CACVT time, then Call Server A removes all Call Server B records in the table.

— shared DSP channels (default) = shared — private DSP channels = private In CS 1000 Release 5.0 , the zones that were described with BMG designator stay with BMG one, all the other zones are provided with MO designator. It is possible to update ZoneIntent using the CHG ZONE command.
(from main office to branch office), one must make use of the dialing plan capabilities of the CS 1000 to first route the call to the main office. The main office prepends a prefix to the dialed number and the number is routed to the branch office.
Description Alternative Call Routing for Network Bandwidth Management (NBWM) is available for CS 1000 Release 4.5 and CS 1000 Release 5.0 . Alternative Call Routing for Network Bandwidth Management (NBWM) allows a station-to-station call (that is, a call that does not use a trunk) between a branch office and main office to overflow to traditional routes.
Page 160
WAN bandwidth against the incremental cost of overflowed calls. Nortel recommends that this feature be used with DID (Direct Inward Dial) numbers. This allows calls that are rerouted over the PSTN to ring the intended telephone directly.
Page 161
The ALTPrefix applies to the zone in which the call originates. There is one ALTPrefix for each zone that requires alternate routing. All Call Servers must be able to translate the ALTPrefixes for all zones that require Alternative Call Routing for NBWM.

190 Emergency Services configuration Nortel recommends using the Emergency Services Access (ESA) feature. This is the preferred method in North America, the Caribbean and Latin America (CALA), and in those countries that are members of the European Union (EU). ESA provides specific features and capabilities required by legislation in these jurisdictions.

If the route number has been configured, remove it by entering “x” at the prompt. Nortel recommends that the system administrator arrange a test call with the Public Services Access Point (PSAP).
Page 198
• ESA Prefix = Digit string added to start of ESDN. This is a unique prefix in the NRS. Nortel recommends that users use 0 + ESN location code of the branch office node. An example for location code 725 would be: 0725.
NRS uses the ESA SPN to route the emergency call from the main office to the branch office. Nortel recommends that a consistent pattern be followed for all ESA calls. For example, use 0 + ESN Location code of the branch office node + the ESDN.
SRG IP Phones receive the features, key layout, and tones of the main office Call Server. Therefore, the version of the IP Phone firmware must align with the requirements of the CS 1000. When an IP Phone requires firmware upgrade, the CS 1000 uses the umsUpgradeAll command, or variant, to redirect the IP Phone back to the SRG 50 for upgrading.
TPS for the IP Phone to retrieve the required file. The SRG 50 upgrades the IP Phone and redirects the IP Phone back to the CS 1000. For SRG 50 Release 1.0, the SRG 50 must be patched to the proper firmware level with patch number BCM50.90.
Branch office An SRG that is remote from the main office. The SRG provides telephony services using the main office servers (for Normal Mode) or local system services when the SRG loses IP communication with the main office (Local Mode).
A user deliberately puts the IP Phone in the Test Local Mode condition. Main office The CS 1000 system that has been programmed to accept redirection of the SRG IP Phones and provide call service for the SRG in Normal Mode.
