1 DEFENSE INFORMATION SYSTEMS AGENCY JOINT INTEROPERABILITY TEST COMMAND P.O. BOX FORT HUACHUCA, ARIZONA DEFENSE INFORMATION SYSTEMS AGENCY IN REPLY REFER TO: s and Transport Division (JTE) 5 August 2005 MEMORANDUM FOR DISTRIBUTION SUBJECT: Special Interoperability Test Certification of rtel s Succession Defense Switched (DSN) 1000M Single-Group, Half-Group, and Multi-Group with Software Release 3.0 and Product Enhancement Packages (Includes Voice over Internet Protocol) References: (a) DOD Directive , Interoperability and Supportability of Information Technology (IT) and National Security Systems (NSS), 5 May 2004 (b) CJCSI C, "Interoperability and Supportability of Information Technology and National Security Systems," 20 vember References (a) and (b) establish the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC), as the responsible organization for interoperability test certification. Additional references are provided in enclosure The rtel s Succession DSN 1000M Single-Group with software release 3.0 and product enhancement packages including Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), hereinafter referred to as the system under test (SUT), meets all of its critical interoperability requirements and is certified as interoperable for joint use within the DSN. The rtel s Succession DSN 1000M Half-Group and 1000M Multi-Group employ the same Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Command and Control (C2) Voice Grade (VG) Local Area (LAN) solution, software, and trunk/line card hardware as the SUT. JITC analysis determined the Succession DSN 1000M Half-Group and Multi-Group including VoIP to be functionally identical to the SUT for interoperability certification purposes. All three products are certified for joint use within the DSN. The identified test discrepancies shown in the Certification Testing Summary (enclosure 2), which remained open after software patches were applied and regression testing was completed, have a minor operational impact. The SUT was tested and met the critical interoperability requirements for joint use within the DSN for the following switch types: Private Branch Exchange 1 (PBX 1) and PBX 2. This certification expires upon system changes that affect interoperability, but no later than three years from the date of this memorandum. 3. This finding is based on interoperability testing conducted by JITC at the Global Information Grid Test Facility, Fort Huachuca, Arizona from 5 September 2003 through 25 February The Special Interoperability Certification Letter and Test Summary Report for this test effort as shown in reference (c) excluded the European Basic Multiplex Rate (E1) Integrated Services Digital (ISDN) Primary Rate Interface (PRI), and E1 Channel

2 JITC Memo, JTE, Special Interoperability Test Certification of rtel s Succession DSN 1000M Single-Group, Half-Group, and Multi-Group with Software Release 3.0 and Product Enhancement Packages (Includes Voice over Internet Protocol) Associated Signaling (CAS) interfaces. Additional regression testing of product-enhancement packages developed to support the aforementioned interfaces was conducted at JITC from 14 through 25 February 2005 and 2 through 5 May Enclosure 3 lists the product enhancement packages applied to the SUT for certification. System interoperability should be verified before deployment in an operational environment that varies significantly from the test environment. 4. Table 1 provides a comparison between the rtel s product line as a standalone Time Division Multiplexer (TDM) switch versus a TDM switch enabled with VoIP. The VoIP C2 VG LAN certified hardware and software components are shown in table 2. The E1 ISDN PRI and E1 CAS interface card nomenclature and product equipment codes are listed in table 3. The interoperability summary of the SUT is indicated in table 4. The interoperability status and criticality are listed in table 5, and the Exchange Requirements (ERs) and Functional Requirements (FRs) for each network interface are listed in table 6. The product enhancement packages applied to the SUT to meet the E1 ISDN PRI, and E1 CAS interfaces are shown in table 7. Management (NM) capabilities of the SUT platform were tested in accordance with the DISA NS53 requirements as set forth in references (d) and (e). These references require that a switch provide NM capabilities via Ethernet Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, Inc ), asynchronous serial Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA), or synchronous serial International Telecommunications Union-Telecommunications Standardization Sector (X.25 or BX.25 variant). The SUT meets the NM requirements through the use of serial EIA-232 connections. This interoperability test summary is based upon evaluation of: a. The following network interfaces as specified in reference (f): DSN, Tactical Gateway, and Commercial Gateway. b. The interface and signaling requirements for trunk/line interfaces, and interoperability ERs and FRs derived from references (g) and (h). c.

The SUT takes 30 seconds to recover versus 15 seconds. This is not a critical requirement. The operational impact is minor. 2 ISDN PRI T1 trunk groups using NI2 protocol send a Release Complete Message in lieu of a Disconnect Message with Cause 46 (Unavailable Resources), and ISDN PRI E1 interfaces send a Release Message in Lieu of the Disconnect Message with Cause 46 (Unavailable Resources). The operational impact is considered minor since the user still receives a Blocked Precedence Announcement. 3 Analog E&M Signaling Type I did not pass the DSN preempt signals as required by the GSCR for the four types of preemption. Analog E&M Signaling Type I is not certified for use in the DSN. The operational impact is minor. 4 The SUT does not meet the GSCR exchange requirements for hotline services. Hotline services are not a critical requirement. The operational impact is minor. 5 The SUT s attendant console does not support automatic recall of attendant. The operational impact is minor. 6 ISDN supplemental services are currently not used in the DISN. There is no operational impact. 7 Analog instruments do not provide intra-switch call waiting. The operational impact is minor. 8 Interoperability Certification of the SUT does not constitute DRSN PM s approval for connectivity to the DRSN. It is the user s responsibility to request connectivity approval directly from the PM. 9 The certification of interoperability with commercial networks was verified based on the review of the vendor s letter of compliance to requirements identified as the Letter and Verify items listed in appendix E of the GSTP and specified in tables 2-1 through 2-15 of the GSCR. 5

The rtel s Succession DSN 1000M Single- Group was the only switch platform tested by JITC; however, the test results are applicable to the 1000M Half-Group and 1000M Multi-Group. The rtel s Succession DSN 1000M Single-Group employs the same C2 VG LAN solution, software, and trunk/line card hardware as the 1000M Half-Group and 1000M Multi- Group. JITC analysis determined it to be functionally identical for certification purposes. 11. TEST RESULTS. Tables 2-4 through 2-9 synopsize the SUT interface ER and FR status and criticality. The identified test discrepancies detailed in paragraph 11a denote only those test discrepancies that remained open after software patches were applied and regression testing was completed. 2-10

Hotline services are not a critical requirement. 2 The SUT s attendant console does not support automatic recall of attendant. The operational impact is minor. 3 ISDN T1 PRI trunkgroups using NI2 and ISDN E1 PRI trunk groups using ETSI protocol send a release complete message in lieu of a disconnect message with Cause 46 (unavailable resources). The operational impact is considered minor since the user still receives a Blocked Precedence Announcement. 4 Analog E&M Signaling Type I did not pass the DSN preempt signals as required by the GSCR for the four types of preemption. This is not a critical requirement for a Private Branch Exchange. Analog E&M Signaling Type I is not certified for use in the DSN. 2-18
