Chapter 2 Introducing SRG200/400 Release 1.5 The SRG200/400 Release 1.5 is a software application that leverages the BCM 4.0 platform using the BCM200/400 hardware. It is optimized to provide feature transparency to the main office call server and to act as a survival remote gateway in a branch office environment.
The keycode file is applied and you are prompted to reboot the system. Note: You must perform a hard reboot of the system. Power the system off and on. To verify that the SRG200/400 Release 1.5 has been successfully created Launch BCM Element Manager.
Note: Throughout this document, the IP Phones in this list are referred to collectively as IP Phones. The SRG200/400 Release 1.5 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).

Coordination with the main office call server Configuration of the SRG branch office requires datafill at both the SRG and the main office call server. Main office configuration drives SRG configuration, and Nortel recommends that the main office activities be concluded before undertaking SRG configuration.

VoIP trunk. The media path is set up directly between the branch user set and the voice gateway at the SRG. This means that these calls do not use any WAN bandwidth between the main office and the branch office after calls are established.
Chapter 2 Introducing SRG200/400 Release 1.5 Local mode In the event of a WAN failure or the call server at the main office becomes unavailable, the IP Phones in normal mode connect to the branch office in local mode. In local mode, the IP users connected to the SRG are under the control of the SRG.

SRG to route all calls not terminated locally by the SRG. These calls are routed over the VoIP trunks. If the VoIP trunks become unavailable, the calls are routed to the proper location using PSTN fallback. This feature is similar to the VNR feature on the Media Gateway 1000B (MG1000B).
The SRG interoperates with the Network Bandwidth Management (NBWM) feature in a manner similar to Media Gateway (MG) 1000B, though only G.711 and G.729 codecs are supported. At the SRG, a Virtual Private Network ID (VPNI) and Zone ID are entered with values defined by the main office configuration (refer to ADBWM, and ACR”...

Chapter 4 CS 1000 considerations To configure Alternative Call Routing on the SRG with Attendant service Complete the procedure, Refer to “Call routing: configuring for outgoing calls” on page 74 Networking Configuration Guide for more information. Obtain the ALTPrefix for the SRG (configured at the main office). Define a route to the main office Attendant over the PSTN.
When the SRG receives the ALTPrefix+DN digits from the main office, it looks up the destination code table, finds a match for the ALTPrefix, dumps the 3- digit ALTPrefix, appends the DN to the External Number and dials the External Number+DN.

For SRG operation, either a coordinated dialing plan (CDP) or a uniform dialing plan (UDP) can be configured. Nortel recommends CDP because it requires the least dialing manipulation between the SRG and the main office call server. The dialing plan choice also determines whether the DN on the SRG matches the BUID on the main office.
