Chapter 2 SRG50 overview SRG operating modes The SRG has two operating modes: • Normal mode • Local mode Normal mode In normal mode (see the figure Normal mode on page 20), the SRG is connected to the main office call server over a WAN using VoIP trunks.
If alternate routes are configured, then calls can be made to the main office or other branch offices using the available PSTN trunks. Several situations, described below, can cause the IP phone to be in local mode. SRG50 5.0 Configuration Guide...

Chapter 2 SRG50 overview Initial registration, CS 1000 When the IP telephone is installed, it first registers with the SRG, and is in local mode. When the SRG configuration at the main office and the SRG is complete the IP telephone is redirected to the main office, where it registers as a branch user and changes from local mode to normal mode.

Note: When a telephone or trunk in the main office calls an SRG IP Phone that has switched to local mode due to WAN failure, the call is treated according to the main office call redirection configuration (such as forwarding to voice mail or continuous ringback). SRG50 5.0 Configuration Guide...
Chapter 4 CS 1000 considerations In the event that the IP Phones at the branch office lose the connection to the main office CS1000 call server for any reason (WAN failure, main office call server failure, main office Signaling Server failure), the SRG50 reverts to local mode automatically. Essentially, when VoIP connectivity is lost, each IP Phone loses its Reliable UDP (RUDP) connection with the main office terminal proxy server (TPS).
SRG trunks because the Virtual Trunks are not available. (SRG analog [500/ 2500-type] telephones are accessible if alternate routing is available through the PSTN.) For more information, see Nortel Business Communications Manager 5.0 Configuration— Telephony and Nortel Business Communications Manager 5.0 Planning and Engineering.
This test is invoked from any IP Phone at the branch office. Nortel recommends testing local mode operation after changing the provisioning for a telephone on the SRG. To ensure that users do not forget to resume normal mode operation, the SRG redirects the telephone to the main office to return the telephone to normal mode.
Private Network ID (VPNI) and Zone ID required by NBWM and ADBWM. However, additional configuration is required and depends on the type of trunking provisioned at the main office: Attendant service or DID trunks (see Bandwidth management configuration: NBWM, ADBWM, and ACR on page 38). SRG50 5.0 Configuration Guide...
Chapter 4 CS 1000 considerations ACR for NBWM allows a station-to-station call (that is, a call that does not use a trunk) to overflow to traditional routes. Overflow can occur if there is insufficient interzone bandwidth available to carry the call, or if the QoS has degraded to unacceptable levels. The feature applies to station-to-station calls between a branch office and main office as well as from one branch office to another branch office, provided both stations are registered to the same main office.

*These phones may work with SRG50 5.0, however, they are End of Life and are no longer supported. Firmware upgrade procedure When an IP telephone requires a firmware upgrade, the CS 1000 uses the umsUpgradeAll command, or variant, to redirect the telephone back to the SRG for upgrading. If the required file does not exist on the SRG, or its version is incorrect, the SRG initiates an SFTP (if using CS1000 Release 6.0) or FTP session to the TPS for that phone to retrieve the required file.

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.

Network security Firewall configuration for SRG is the same as for the BCM50 and is detailed in the Nortel Business Communications Manager 5.0 Configuration—Telephony. Firewalls cannot be configured to allow VoIP pass through. Instead, the SRG supports IPsec tunnels to provide VoIP pass through.
Chapter 6 Setting up the private VoIP network Fallback configuration For SRG operation, fallback and gatekeeper configuration is common to all VoIP trunks. To enable fallback Access the IP Trunks configuration panel in Business Element Manager (Configuration > Resources > Telephony Resources > Modules panel > Module type column: select IP Trunks (see the figure IP Trunks panel, H.323 Settings or SIP Settings on page 71).
PSTN can be routed correctly. If you require H323 trunks, you must select the Gatekeeper wildcard check box in the H323 settings. If you do not select the Gatekeeper wildcard check box, then calls are SIP routed (default setting). SRG50 5.0 Configuration Guide...
VoIP trunks are assigned to line public and all PSTN trunks are assigned to line pool A. It is not necessary to reassign the line pools. Instructions for configuring line pools is provided in the Nortel Business Communications Manager 5.0 Configuration—Telephony.

Chapter 6 Setting up the private VoIP network d In the Route field, enter a number for the new route (for example, 998). Click Ok. Ensure that the DN Type is Public (Unknown). g Assign the VoIP line pool to the route (select the line pool from the Use Pool list; default is BlocA).
SRG PSTN, you need to define a destination code that accesses the PSTN line pool without an External Number. Frequently, this code is 9, but it does not have to be. The following procedure provides a basic PSTN routing setup. SRG50 5.0 Configuration Guide...
To configure destination codes for the PSTN Access the Dialing Plan - Routing panel (Configuration > Telephony > Dialing Plan > Routing). Select the Routes tab. See the Nortel Business Communications Manager 5.0 Configuration— Telephony to: Add a new route (for the PSTN line pool).
After the PSTN trunks connects to the ISDN-based SRG (that is, PRI, BRI, or MCDN), the SRG receives the calling number or name as an out-of-band message during the time at which the VoIP call is established to the Communication Server 1000. SRG50 5.0 Configuration Guide...
Chapter 6 Setting up the private VoIP network • After the PSTN connects in an analog trunk mode, the PSTN sends the calling number or name information between the first and second ring cycles (as defined by CLASS/ CMS specifications) because the SRG processes incoming calls immediately on arrival from the PSTN.
