H.248 User’s Manual 7. Standard Control Protocols Standard Control Protocols General MG 3200 can be controlled from a Media Gateway Controller (MGC) / Call Agent using standard H.238 (MEGACO Media Gateway Control). H.248 (Media Gateway Control) Protocol 7.2.1 H.238 Overview H.238 (MEGACO Media Gateway Control) Protocol is a standards-based network control protocol (based on IETF RFC 3015 and ITU-T H.248 V1).
Page 88
MG 3200 Notify command - The Notify command is used by the MG 3200 to inform the Call Agent of events occurring on one of the Terminations. Audit commands - The AuditCapabilities and AuditValue commands are used to query the MG 3200 about Termination configuration and state. This information helps in managing and controlling the MG 3200.
Page 89
H.248 User’s Manual 7. Standard Control Protocols 7.2.2.4 Authorization Check of Call Manager IP Addresses While the H.248 specification specifies that only one Call Manager can send commands to the gateway at a time, MG 3200 gateways handle the Authorization Check in either of these modes: No authorization check is performed.
Page 90
MG 3200 Interrupting the execution can be one of the following: Event - Only events required by the Call Agent stop the execution, and only if they do not have the KeepActive flag. New Signals Descriptor - Stops the execution, unless the same signal is received, and it has a KeepActive flag.
Page 91
H.248 User’s Manual 7. Standard Control Protocols 7.2.2.8 Mediation Mediation in H.248 connects two ephemeral terminations. This operation can be used by a Call Agent to connect users with different coders or to connect two types of users, such as ATM and RTP.
Page 92
MG 3200 Using these packages, the MG 3200 converts from the MFC-R2 protocol, which is a PSTN protocol, to the H.248 protocol, thereby bridging the PSTN world with the IP world. Note: Currently only E1-MFCR2 protocol is supported, there is no R1 support or T1 support.
H.248 User’s Manual 7. Standard Control Protocols Blocking the Bchannel is done by using the 'casblk' package. The 'blk' and 'ublk' events are reported only if the action was done by the remote side. The reason for this is that the local side already knows its status.
Page 95
H.248 User’s Manual 7. Standard Control Protocols Configuration is performed through the ini file (the DTMFTransportType=3 parameter), or through the Web. This value is used by H.248 as the default value, but commands can override it. To enable RFC 2833 via a command, add a payload type in the media line of the SDP and define this payload type to be RF 2833 according to the following example: c= IN IP4 $ m=audio $ RTP/AVP 0 97...

H.248 User’s Manual 7. Standard Control Protocols The first three lines describe the voice stream, and can differ according to the user's requirements. Attributes to the voice ('a' lines) should be added after the first 'm' line. The 'm=image' line, however, is mandatory, and should appear in the identical format to the above.
MG 3200 The number of Fax pages is reported in the statistics descriptor when this descriptor is requested. The number of Fax pages can also be audited during the Fax. 7.2.3 SDP Support in H.248 H.248 supports basic SDP, as defined in RFC 2327. It also supports SDP-ATM, as defined in RFC 3108.

H.248 User’s Manual 17. Appendix - Security Appendix - Security This appendix describes the MG 3200's implementation of security protocols. The following list specifies the available security protocols and their purposes: IPSec The IPSec and IKE protocols are part of the IETF standards for security issues. IPSec and IKE are used together on the media gateway to provide security for control and management protocols.
MG 3200 IPSec and IKE are used in conjunction to provide security for control and management (e.g., SNMP and Web) protocols but not for media (i.e., RTP, RTCP and T.38). IPSec is responsible for securing the IP traffic. This is accomplished by using the Encapsulation Security Payload (ESP) protocol to encrypt the IP payload (illustrated in the figure below).
H.248 User’s Manual 17. Appendix - Security IKE Specifications: Authentication mode - pre-shared key only Main mode is supported for IKE Phase 1 Supported IKE SA encryption algorithms - DES and 3DES Hash types for IKE SA - SHA1 and MD5 17.1.2 IPSec IPSec is responsible for encrypting and decrypting the IP streams.
MG 3200 17.1.3.2 IPSec Configuration The parameters described in the table below are used to configure the SPD table. A different set of parameters can be configured for each of the 20 available IP destinations. 17.1.3.3 IPSec and IKE Configuration Table’s Confidentiality Since the pre-shared key parameter of the IKE table must remain undisclosed, measures are taken by the MG 3200 ini file, Embedded Web Server and SNMP agent to maintain this parameter’s confidentiality.
H.248 User’s Manual 17. Appendix - Security 17.2.1 Web Server Configuration For additional security, you can configure the Web server to accept only secure (HTTPS) connections. This is done by changing the ini file parameter, HTTPS Only or via the Embedded Web Server, Network Settings screen (refer to ''Network Settings'' on page 154).
MG 3200 17.2.4 Server Certificate Replacement The MG 3200 is shipped with a working SSL configuration consisting of a unique self- signed server certificate. When a MG 3200 is upgraded to firmware version 4.6, a unique self-signed server certificate is created. If an organizational PKI (public key infrastructure) is in place, you may wish to replace this certificate with one provided by your security administrator.
H.248 User’s Manual 17. Appendix - Security Note 1: The certificate replacement process may be repeated as necessary, e.g., when the new certificate expires. Note 2: It is possible to set the subject name to the IP address of the device (e.g., “10.3.3.1”) instead of a qualified DNS name.
MG 3200 17.3 RADIUS Support To connect to the Embedded Web Server or Telnet server, the user must provide a valid name and password. While the device supports only a single system password, it is possible to enhance login security using a RADIUS server. RADIUS (RFC 2865) is a standard protocol for authentication, which defines a method for contacting a predefined server and verifying a given name and password pair against a remote database, in a secure manner.
H.248 User’s Manual 17. Appendix - Security 17.3.2 Configuring RADIUS Support To configure RADIUS support on the MG 3200 via the Embedded Web Server, take these 7 steps: In the Embedded Web Server, from the Advanced Configuration screen, select the Network Settings from the sub-menu bar on the top (Refer to ''Network Settings'' on page 154).
MG 3200 17.4 Network Port Usage The following table lists the default TCP/UDP network port numbers used by the MG 3200. Where relevant, the table lists the ini file parameters that control the port usage and provide source IP address filtering capabilities. Table 17-1: Default TCP/UDP Network Port Numbers Port number Peer port...
By default, the MG 3200 supports export-grade (40-bit and 56-bit) encryption, due to U.S. government restrictions on the export of security technologies. To enable 128-bit and 256- bit encryption on your device, contact your Nortel representative. This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit.
