Calculating the amount of bandwidth that voice-encoding-over-IP requires is a little more complex. The G150 Media Gateway offers a choice of CODECs from the G.711, G.723 (not recommended), and G.729 family at the point of call registration. The media server selects a particular CODEC at the point of call establishment.
Page 58
Communication Manager Administration for the Avaya G150 Media Gateway Note: The number of bits of payload per packet depends on the packet size, but is Note: independent of the sizes of the individual frames contained in that packet. For example, a packet size of 60 ms could be referring to six 10 ms frames per packet, or three 20 ms frames per packet, or two 30 ms frames per packet, etc.

The G150 Media Gateway uses a single block of UDP ports for audio connections. The default block starts at 49152. For a given G150 station or trunk port, one UDP port is used for RTP and the next consecutive UDP port is used for RTCP. For example, with the default block setting, analog trunk 2 uses 49154 for the RTP/UDP connection and 49155 for the RTCP/UDP connection.

Set up a signaling group and digital trunk group Direct IP-IP audio connections: Type y to enable IP call shuffling. IP Audio Hairpinning: Type n to disable. This setting prevents hairpinning for calls using this signaling group, even if the server’s system parameters and the network regions have been enabled for hairpinning.
Page 74
Because this is an H.323 signaling group, the media server cannot tell that this ultimately terminates in a digital trunk (for instance, does not know if this is PRI signaling or in-band signaling). Loss group 17 is the correct loss group for digital trunks on the G150 Media Gateway.
PSTN network, both of the circuit switched channels utilized are part of this one signaling group. Each G150 Media Gateway that uses one or both of its central office loop-start analog trunks has a listen port, a signaling group, and a trunk group that are unique to those analog trunks, and separate from the listen port, signaling group, and trunk group used by the T1 digital trunk.

Far-end Node Name: Type the node name assigned to the remote office. Near-end Listen Port: Type a port number in the 5000-9999 range. Far-end Listen Port: Type 7000. This is the dedicated TCP port in the G150 Media Gateway. Note: The far-end port must be 7000.
Page 77
Because this is an H.323 signaling group, the media server cannot tell that this ultimately terminates in an analog trunk. Loss group 7 is the correct loss group for analog trunks on the G150 Media Gateway. 3. Go to the Group Member Assignments screen to associate the trunk group with the signaling group.
Sig Grp: Assign the number of the signaling group that provides the signaling channel for this trunk group. Either two trunks (for the G150 2T + 4A model) or four trunks (for the G150 4T+4A+8DS model) may be designated in this group.

In the event that the connection to Communication Manager becomes unavailable for any reason - WAN, LAN or equipment failure - the G150 attempts to register against an alternative CLAN or Processor CLANs. If no alternative gatekeeper is available, the G150 changes from sub-tending to survivable mode.
The G150 is connected to a Media Server running Communication Manager using an IP data connection over a WAN. The WAN can be connected directly to the G150 or by a third party router where data infrastructure already exists or the appropriate WAN interface is not available on the G150 itself.
Quick Reference Install and Configuration G150 is a flexible product that can be set up and configured in several ways, depending on network requirements, IP phone usage, etc. However, there are bare minimum installation and configuration steps required to get G150 functional. These steps are: Configure Communication Manager to communicate with the G150.
G150 system. The G150 can be connected in one of two ways; either directly to a PC or as part of a LAN. Both methods use a G150 Cat. 5E patch cable connected between one of the LAN ports on the front of the G150 and the PC/LAN.
Installing the Manager Software Before any aspects of the G150 can be configured, a configuration software application called Manager must be installed on the PC that is connected to the G150. The Manager software is available from the Administrator CD.
Configuring the G150 Media Gateway with Manager Editing a Configuration Manager displays the G150’s configuration as a series of icons in two panels, as displayed in Figure Figure 39: Manager Configuration Window The left-hand panel contains a Configuration Tree, with icons used to group different types of configuration entries.
Manager. There are two ways to save a configuration, via a system merge or a full reboot of the G150 control unit. Manager tracks the changes made to the configuration so that if all the changes made can be merged, then the option for merging (Merge Config) will automatically be selected and if a reboot is required, When Free will be selected.
Page 92
Immediately - Reboots the Control Unit immediately and will cut off any calls in progress. When Free - Reboots the G150 when the system is free (no calls in progress). The following options are only available with When Free selection:...
None - Does not send any configuration to the G150. 3. If you did not enter a system password when you received the configuration, then a password MUST be entered at this point to send the configuration to the G150. 4. Select OK.
4. On the Operator tab: Name: Enter the user name in which this operator will log onto Manager. Password/Confirm Password: Enter the password from which this operator will use to log onto Manager. 94 Installation and Configuration of the G150 Media Gateway...
G150. The constraint of 10 IP addresses maximum is because each install of a Manager application can remember the IP addresses of only 10 G150 systems at any one time. If the PC has two LAN connections, then it is necessary to set the IP address to the broadcast address of the LAN, eg.

In subtending mode, call routing/dial plan are driven by the Communication Manager. In survivable mode, the G150 becomes a gatekeeper and handles calls using its own local call routing/dial plan configuration. The local administration of the G150 provides a simple call routing plan that emulates those of the Communication Manager such that all station extensions and trunk access codes remain the same.
Configuring the G150 Media Gateway with Manager Extension Numbering within G150 By default, G150 creates a hunt group with extension number 200 (survivable mode use only) and then automatically numbers the analog phones from 201 upwards. You must alter the extension numbering of the analog phones to match their numbering on the Communication Manager dial plan.

Dial Plan Administration Create an Incoming Call Route To enable calls to be routed when the G150 goes into survivable mode, Incoming Call Routes must be configured. In survivable mode, DDI/DID is supported for all trunk types (Analog, BRI, PRI and T1). DDI/DID calls matching the numbering plan are routed directly to a numbered extension by the G150 Incoming Call Route configuration on Manager.
This Hunt Group is configured in Group ring mode (by default); therefore, all incoming calls ring each extension simultaneously. Only this one hunt group is supported with the G150 in survivable mode. In subtending mode, Communication Manager settings determine hunt group operation.
