5 4VoIP PCB Overview The 4 port VoIP PCB (P/N 92046) provide a means of connecting multiple i-series systems together over an IP WAN. With the addition of the VoIP PCB and using 124i Enhanced software version or higher, it is now possible to place calls between i-series systems using VoIP and the Digital Networking features. Transmission of both voice and data over the same connection is now possible. This eliminates the need for point-to-point connection between sites and allows the use of a shared public network such as Frame Relay or ATM. Currently, the VoIP feature can provide: Desk-to-desk calls between i-series systems - Trunk-to-trunk connections between sites - Only DID call handling is supported Ability to transfer intercom or trunk calls to an extension on another i-series system Ability to transfer intercom calls from a remote site to a local trunk on the system Direct access or dial access to trunks at another i-series site i-series Networking features (such as common voice mail with voice message indication) Release Link Tie Trunk Transfer Trunk release after transferring a call to another i-series site An extension user at one site can easily dial an extension at a remote i-series telephone system. Calls are transported between systems using the H.323 protocol with ISDN-like messages that contain information about the source of the call, the type of call and the destination of the call. This call information is sent within a User-User Information element which is part of an H.223/H.225 packet. VoIP call routing and control may be done with an external H.323 Gatekeeper. Each client is required to register with an H.323 Gatekeeper and provide an IP address and telephone number to be used as an alias. From this information, the Gatekeeper constructs routing tables and provides clients with directory services. When a Gatekeeper is installed, all routing and call initialization must be handled by the Gatekeeper. The 124i Enhanced system will not be allowed to specify the destination IP address for a call if a Gatekeeper is installed. When a Gatekeeper is not available, the 124i Enhanced must examine the dialed numbers and determine a routing method which may include an IP address and an outgoing trunk group. The 124i Enhanced must be configured to use either F-Route or ARS to translate a dialed number into an IP address and select a route for a VoIP call. A maximum of 5 VoIP PCBs may be installed in a system, but with the following limitations. The first cabinet can only have one VoIP PCB installed and must be in slots 4-8. The second and third cabinets can each have only two VoIP PCBs installed and must also be installed in the last four slots in the cabinet (slots in the second cabinet, slots in the third cabinet). All trunks ports on the same VoIP PCB must be assigned to the same trunk group since incoming VoIP calls will select any idle port on the PCB. The VoIP PCB provides the following: Run/Block switch for enabling/disabling the PCB Load switch used for updating the PCB firmware PCMCIA card slot for updating PCB firmware DIN connector for diagnostics (no DIMU is required, simply plug a terminal into the connector) 8-pin LAN connector (CN10) Status LEDs for each VoIP port Run LED indicates if PCB is functioning Run/Block Switch Load Switch Reset Switch Run LED Status LEDs VoIP PCB CN10 Connector DIN Connector Page 1

6 Hardware Considerations Each VoIP PCB must be associated with a VoIP PCB at another i-series site. There must be a dedicated one-to-one relationship between the VoIP PCBs across the network. For example, if a remote site has 2 VoIP PCBs, the main office must also have 2 PCBs for sending and receiving VoIP calls to that site. Outgoing calls on a VoIP PCB must be routed only to the IP address of the associated VoIP PCB at the remote site. This is done to emulate the point-to-point connection provided by a T1 or PRI trunk. With this configuration, if all ports on the local PCB are busy, then all ports on the associated remote VoIP PCB will also be busy. This is required in a system with multiple VoIP PCBs to force overflow of outgoing calls to an alternate route (another VoIP PCB) if all ports at the remote site are busy. Programming Considerations Each VoIP PCB must be assigned to its own trunk group in Program Trunk Groups. All ports on a VoIP PCB must be assigned to the same trunk group. When multiple VoIP PCBs are installed at a site, ARS or F-Route must be set up with alternate routes with each route sending calls to a different outgoing trunk group (VoIP PCB). Outgoing calls to a particular VoIP PCB must use only the IP address of the associated VoIP PCB at the remote site. It is recommended that the hunting order (the order of the alternate route selection) be reversed at each site to reduce the chance of call collisions. Outgoing Calls If Using a Gatekeeper If a Gatekeeper is used, the 124i Enhanced must be programmed to use the Gatekeeper. All user-dialed digits for a VoIP call are sent to the Gatekeeper which will set up and manage the call. Some Gatekeepers accept overlap dial information - some do not. The 124i Enhanced system can enable either Overlap or En Bloc Sending for each VoIP PCB (Program 0319 Item 1). This results in differences in the operation of outgoing calls. Overlap Sending Each time a user dials a digit, the dial information is sent to the Gatekeeper. This operation is just like using an analog trunk. En Bloc Sending Dial information must be stored and then sent all at once. After dialing the digits for an outgoing call, the user must wait for the inter-digit timer to expire before the digits are sent. The user may, however, press the # key to send the dialed digits before the timer expires. Outgoing Calls If Not Using a Gatekeeper A user is not allowed to seize the VoIP trunk manually because dialed digits cannot be sent directly to the VoIP trunk. An IP address must be provided to route the call. This means that a user cannot press a trunk key or dial a trunk access code to seize a VoIP trunk. To determine the destination IP address from the dialed digits, the 124i Enhanced system uses F-Route or ARS. These programs have been modified to support VoIP. The following description shows how to determine an IP address. How to Determine the Destination IP Address Using ARS or F-Route This option must be used for reaching destinations such as a key telephone at a remote system without a Gatekeeper. The target destination will be specified by a local trunk group number, an IP address and the called party number. Page 2

7 Configuration for IP Address Determination In Program 0905, program all the VoIP trunks into the same group. This trunk group can then be selected in Program 0928 as a route for a VoIP call. Program 0905 VoIP trunk port VoIP trunk group 26 ARS and F-Route can select the trunk group from the dialed digits for outgoing calls. The trunk group is part of the routing instructions in Program 2101 (ARS Selection Table) or Program 2904 (F-Route Routing Table). If the trunk group number is between 101 and 126, it indicates that an attempt should be make to route the call over VoIP. The last 2 digits of this trunk group number are used to select an entry (table) in Program The system will choose one trunk from the VoIP trunk group and use the assigned IP address. The dialed digits are edited by the appropriate dial treatment and stored in the called party number area in the Setup message. Program 0928 is a table that assigns a VoIP trunk group and an IP address for a VoIP call. This address is the IP address for the VoIP PCB at the remote location. Program 0928 Table VoIP Trunk Group IP Address As a result of the programming shown in the table above, when trunk group 101 is selected by F-Route or ARS, the system will choose an outgoing trunk port from trunk group 26 and the IP destination address used will be How to Determine the Destination IP Address with ARS (Required if Dialing More Than 4 Digits) If you want to dial the phone number to reach an IP telephone when a Gatekeeper is not available, the ARS feature should be used. ARS uses the 3-digit or 6-digit table to decide the trunk group to be used. An option is now available to convert the dialed digits to an IP address. If the ARS selection number is found by searching the 3 or 6-digit tables and the trunk group number in the Selection Routing Table (Program 2101) is between 101 to 126, it indicates that the system should attempt to route the call using VoIP. The last 2 digits of this trunk group number are used as the entry in Program 0928 to get the VoIP trunk group number and IP address. If the VoIP trunk group number is NOT set to zero (0) in Program 0928, the system starts searching for the dialed digits in a section of the Abbreviated Dial Table within the range defined in Program If a match is found, the associated entry in Program 0604 is a trunk group number that points to a table in Program 0928, which is used to get the VoIP trunk group and IP address. If no match is found, the system uses the trunk group number in the Program 0928 table that was chosen by the ARS Routing Table. This may be a trunk group number for a normal trunk group (without an IP address) or a VoIP trunk group (with an IP address). Page 3

8 VoIP Using ARS and No Gatekeeper for Outgoing Calls Start Placing an outgoing call, a user dials 9 (trunk access code). ARS starts. The user dials a telephone number. The inter-digit timer expires or the user presses #. The system searches the ARS 6-Digit then the 3-Digit Table to find a selection number. The trunk group number from the Selection Route Table, Program 2101, is used for the call. The call is routed to the indicated trunk group. This is not a VoIP call. No Is this a VoIP trunk group number (101 to 126)? Yes Use the last 2 digits of the trunk group number as the entry point to Program Stop Yes Is the trunk group field in Program 0928 blank or set to '0'? No The system searches for the dialed digits in the Abbreviated Dial Table IP Area (Program 0603) within the search range (Program 0605). Is a match found? No Yes Does the table have a trunk group setting in Program 0604? The trunk group and IP address in Program 0928 are used to route the call. No Yes The VoIP call is routed on the indicated IP trunk using the IP address. Yes Is this a VoIP call (is there IP address data?) Use the trunk group as an entry point to Program No Stop The call is routed using the CO trunk group indicated. Page 4

9 VoIP Using F-Route and No Gatekeeper for Outgoing Calls Start To place an outgoing call, a user dials the F-Route code plus the telephone number. The system waits for the F-Route digits. Yes Does the outgoing trunk group have IP settings in Program 0928? No The system makes the call on a VoIP trunk with the edited number by F-Route. The system follows the F-Route programming or, if F-Route is not set, the call is not completed. Stop Stop Dial Edit ARS and F-Route have the ability to edit dialed digits. The edited dial digits are placed in the called party number area of the Setup message.this dialed digit editing may be required to match the numbering plan of the remote telephone equipment. Calling Party Number If you need to send the calling party number, use the following programs. Program 0406 Item 80 ISDN Calling Party Number Program1031 ISDN Calling Number for Extensions Program 0925 Calling Number for ISDN Trunks F-Route Setting for IP Address The following example explains how to set up F-Route. With this programming, you can dial 401 to access another node and the IP address would be Program the VoIP PCB Operating Mode In 0319, assign the slot number in which the VoIP PCB is installed. Program the Hardware Settings for the VoIP. In 0153, set the following: Item 1: IP Address: System A = System B = Subnet Mask: Default Gateway Address: Item 5: Fast Connect Mode: Fast Connect (Mode 2) Program the VoIP Trunk Group. In Program 0905, assign VoIP trunks to the same trunk group 10. Page 5

10 Program the VoIP Trunk Group and IP address for Trunk Groups. In Program 0928, set trunk group 1 for routing to a VoIP trunk. Table (Entry Number) 1 VoIP Trunk Group Number: 10 IP Address: Program F-Route. Program 0501 Dial 4 1 digit Type 9 (F-Route) Program 2902 Flexible Numbering Plan Lookup Table Dial 4 3 digits Entry No.1 Entry Number is defined by Program Program 2903 Flexible Route Selection Table Entry No.1 Route Table No. 1 Route Table Number is defined by Program Program 2904 Flexible Routing Tables VoIP Route Table No. 1 Trunk Group 101 VoIP Trunk Group 101 will point to Program 0928, table (entry) 1. As a result, if a user dials the VoIP number 401, trunk group 101 is referred by F-Route. Then, the system checks the Program 0928 setting and seizes a trunk from system trunk group 10. The call goes to address Special programming will be required if a remote system has two or more VoIP PCBs. Incoming Calls When an incoming call is detected, the VoIP PCB will be searched for an idle port on the VoIP PCB. An incoming call can be connected to any of the ports on the PCB, so the trunk service type has to be the same for all the trunks on the same PCB. Basic system settings are essentially the same as ISDN trunks. The routing programing is also the same. However, as incoming calls may have a called party number, it is recommended that DID service type be used (Program 0901, Items and set to 3). Incoming calls may not have a called party number or the number may not exist in the DID table. When this occurs, the DID Error Routing will be used. Refer to the i-series Software Manual, P/N 92000SWG**, for information on programming DID trunks. DID Error Routing Settings In the past, if a called party number did not exist in the Setup message, ISDN DID trunks would reject the calls. With the VoIP H.323 incoming calls, DID error routing is used to handle the Setup message for calls without a called party number. For example, DID Table Area #1 is being used, routing to trunk ring group 10. Check the first DID table number in the DID table area (Program 1805). The first table is Program 1 for the DID intercepted call vacant number option (Program 1810). Program 1810 Table #0001 -> Set 1 for the item 1 Program the DID Intercept Ring Group (Program 1809). Program 1809 DID Table Area #1 -> Set TRG 10 Page 6

11 DID Incoming Routing with VoIP Start The system detects an incoming call. Does the Setup message contain a called number? No Yes Is there a Called Party Number in the DID table (Program 1805)? No Should the call follow DID Error Routing (Program 1810)? No Yes Yes Normal DID routing occurs. The system follows Program 1809 intercept ring group routing. Warning tone is heard. Stop VoIP PCB Setup Examples The following are examples of connection and setup. It is recommended, however, to consult with your MIS network administrator regarding IP address settings before using the VoIPU. Program 0319: Operating Mode VoIPU Setup 1 - NT mode Program 0153:1 IP Address Subnet Mask Router (Default Gateway) Program 0153:2 Gatekeeper connection mode Gatekeeper Address RAS Port 1 - Manual Setting Router Setup Router IP Address Subnet Mask Global IP Address Automatically assigned Page 7

12 IP Network VoIPU ISDN/Analog Trunk Public Network LAN Router DSTU Gate Keeper Conditions Page 8 Programmable Function Keys: Do not program a trunk key with a VoIP trunk port. If Gatekeeper is not used, F-Route or ARS must be used. If Gatekeeper is used, the 124i Enhanced system cannot specify an IP address. DTMF Relay: If you want to use DTMF tones on VoIP trunks, the calling party s system has to support User Input (H.245), otherwise the tone will not be detected. Example: DID/DISA trunks or voice mail DTMF relay mode must enabled in Program 0153, Item 8 for the VoIP Unit. F-Route codes do not work with Last Number Redial. F-Route does not work with automatic redial. SMDR prints out the Called Party Number as dialed number digits. If the dial treatment deletes the F-Route code, that F-Route code will not appear on the SMDR report. Program Basic Trunk Port Setup (Part A), Item 3: CODEC Gain Type does not work for VoIP trunks. See Program 0154 instead. Echo-Canceller (DSP): The echo canceller will eliminate an echo by subtracting the predicted value from receive-gain level. If highway gain has been added, DSP could receive unpredictable gain level. If this happens, the echo cannot be eliminated. If the gain was added by some system outside of the 124i Enhanced, an echo may occur. This is unavoidable. It is recommended that the i-series system with a VOIPU PCB not be placed behind a firewall. Firewalls restrict access to TCP/UDP ports, some of which are utilized by the VOIPU. To ensure adequate speech quality, it is recommended that QoS (Quality of Service) is implemented on any routers or switching hubs in the VoIP network. Refer to the router s manual for further information. If the i-series system with a VOIPU PCB is installed behind a router with NAT (Network Address Translation) enabled, it is necessary to use H.323 masquerading. (The router must have H.323 Masquerading. The H.323 setup message contains the local IP address in a Q.931 UUS Information element. This local IP address in the UUS IE must be modified from the router. The router has to replace the local IP with the global IP. This feature is not available on all routers. Refer to your router s manual for further information.) In case the registering at a Gatekeeper is not located in the local network, the router has to masquerade the RAS protocol as well. Note that the misconfigured router may cause one-way speech path connections. Installation Main Equipment Key Telephones A Switching Hub with Auto-Negotiation Feature or 100M Switching Hub is strongly recommended. The VoIP PCB is Radvision compatible. A Gatekeeper, if used, must be Radvision compatible. Each installed VoIP PCB must be dedicated to a VoIP PCB at another site. Refer to Hardware Considerations on page Check the following LAN settings before installing the VoIP PCB: Local IP Address Subnet Mask Default Gateway (If Router is used) VoIP Unit does not support DHCP. 2. Define the VoIP PCB settings in Program Attach a grounded wrist strap to your wrist and a grounded metal object (such as CEU ground). 4. Remove the cover from the common equipment cabinet by unscrewing the two front panel retaining screws.

13 5. Set the run/block switch DOWN on the VoIP PCB. 6. As a precautionary step, using Program 0006, Item 2, delete/uninstall the slot in which the VoIP PCB is about to be installed. 7. Plug the VoIP PCB into slots 4-8 in the main system cabinet, slots in the second cabinet, or slots in the third cabinet. Only 1 VoIP PCB can be installed in the first cabinet, 2 VoIP PCBs each can be installed in the second and third cabinets. 8. Connect the cable from the switching hub to the CN10 connector on the VoIP PCB using a CAT 5 cable. 9. Set the run/block switch UP. Before proceeding to Step 10, wait 30 seconds and verify that the LED starts to flash. This indicates that the board is operating normally. 10. Replace the front cover and tighten the two front panel retaining screws. 11. Program the system with all the required VoIP options. Programming When programming VoIP trunks for DID or tie line operation, refer to the i-series Software Manual, P/N 92000SWG**, for all required DID or tie line programs. Program Slot Control To delete VoIP trunk ports, use Program 0006 to delete the PCB slot information. The trunk ports are then also deleted. Program 0007 System Report Port Setup The VoIP PCB will display in the system reports as VoIPU-T. The ports assigned to the PCB will be displayed as well. Program Alarm Report Port Setup If the VoIP PCB is unplugged from the system cabinet, you ll see alarm report similar to other PCBs. For example: 0102 ERR 04/05/02 19:15 Board Install VoIPU-T REC 04/05/02 19:15 Board Install VoIPU-T Program Loop Back Testing When using telephone programming, you can test the hardware.

VOIPU index number (1 5) Cabinet Number 1, Slot Number Options: 4-8 or 0 (No PCB) Cabinet Number 2, Slot Number Options: or 0 (No PCB) Cabinet Number 3, Slot Number Options: or 0 (No PCB) Mode: 1: NT mode - trunks = 1 TE mode - terminals = 2 (Not Currently Supported) Input Data Default Item 1: Gatekeeper Mode for VoIP Trunk 0 0: Overlap Sending 1: En Bloc Sending Item 2: Reserved 0 Item 3: Reserved 0 Item 4: Reserved 0 Item 5: Reserved 0 Item 6: Reserved 0 Item 7: Reserved 0 Item 8: Reserved 0 When the VoIP PCB is installed, the system will assign 4 trunk ports per VoIP PCB. If there is no slot number in Program 0319, no port numbers will be assigned. Ports are assigned in the order the PCB is installed. Port assignment and the VoIP Index number are independent of each other. Program System Numbering If using F-Routing, define the digit(s) to be used to initiate Flexible Routing (9). Program Entering Abbreviated Dialing Numbers and Names When using ARS to route calls, enter the digits that will be dialed to reach the destination IP address. These entries must be made in the range specified in Program Program Common Abbreviated Dialing Trunk Group Enter the VoIP trunk group number (01 to 26) for the table number in Program Program Abbreviated Dial Table Area for IP Address To determine the trunk group, the software can search dialed digits in the Abbreviated Dialing Number table. If you want to use this feature, program the range setting below. Entries: Start Address: Length: Default: Start Address: 0 Length: 0 Program Basic Trunk Port Setup (Part A), Item 3: CODEC Gain Type VoIP trunks will ignore the setting in this program and will use the settings in Program DSP Gain Setup instead. Refer to Program 0901:23 for information on conference call gain settings. Program Basic Trunk Port Setup (Part A), Items 14-17, 32-35: Trunk Service Type For each VoIP trunk, set this option to 3 (DID trunk) or 5 (tie line). Use the i-series Software Manual, P/N 92000SWG**), to complete all the required DID or tie line programming. Page 15

20 Program Basic Trunk Port Setup (Part A), Item 23: Unsupervised Conference Call CODEC Gain Type Conference calls may experience an echo. To prevent this, the conference gain settings have been changed for VoIP trunks. If there is a VoIP trunk on a conference circuit, the gain setting will be changed for the conference member who is on a trunk or single line telephone. In these cases, the gain setting in this program will be used for those conference members. If there are two VoIP trunks in the conference, the gain setting from either port will be chosen by the system. The value of the gain should be lower than 0 db, otherwise an echo will occur. Refer to Program 0154 for information on DSP gain settings. Range: Type 1: 1 (0 db transmit and receive gain) Type 2: 42 (-5 db transmit and receive gain) Type 3: 38 (-3 db transmit and receive gain) Type 4: 6 (+3 db transmit and receive gain) Type 5: 10 (+5 db transmit and receive gain) Default: Type 2 setting 42 (-5 db transmit and receive gain) Program Basic Trunk Port Setup (Part A), Item 31: Loop Disconnect Supervision For each VoIP trunk, set this option to 1 to enable trunk-to-trunk transfers for the trunk. Program Trunk Groups Assign VoIP trunks on each PCB to the same trunk group (1-26). Program Destination IP Address Settings This program is used by the F-Route or ARS feature. When not using Gatekeeper, set the IP address and trunk groups. For an IP address, please ask your MIS network administrator. Table Number: 1 96 VoIP Trunk group number: 0 Trunk group MAX (26) IP Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (xxx: 0 255) Default: All entries are set to 0. Program ARS Call Route Options Table For the referring 0928 entry, the trunk group range of F-Route and ARS have been expanded in this program: Trunk Group Entry: 1-26 and (101 will point to table 1 in Program 0928, 102 will point to table 2, etc.) Program Flexible Numbering Plan Lookup Table With F-Routing, use the entries in this table to associate the numbers identified as type 9 in Program Program Flexible Route Selection Table With F-Routing, when a match is found in Program 2902, the associated data points to an entry in this program (0-48). This is used to select a Route Table (Program 2904) for each day/night mode. Program Flexible Routing Tables (Route Treatment) For the referring 0928 entry, the trunk group range for F-Route and ARS have been expanded in this program: Trunk Group Entry: 1-26 and however 127 through 254 are not used. (101 will point table 1 in Program 0928, 102 will point to table 2, etc.) Firmware Upgrade The VoIP PCB provides a PCMCIA card slot for firmware upgrades. This slot can only accept an ATA PC card. It should be noted that this card is NOT the same PC card used to update telephone system software. Using the following steps will allow you to use the ATA PC card to update the firmware of the VoIP PCB. 1. Remove the VoIP PCB from the system cabinet. The system should remain powered up. If it has been powered down, wait until the system completely reboots or the VoIP PCB firmware update will not be completed. 2. Insert the PCMCIA card containing the firmware update into the PCMCIA card slot on the PCB. 3. Press and hold the red load switch located on the VoIP PCB and insert the PCB back into the system cabinet. 4. Continue holding in the load switch until the PLT and LED1 LEDs are lit on the VoIP PCB. The system starts the firmware update. LEDs on the PCB will start to light from the highest port to the lowest (8, 7, 6, etc.). 5. Once all LEDs except the CDLED are off, the updating process is complete. The PCB will reboot automatically. 6. Remove the PCMCIA card from the PCB. The CDLED will go out. Page 16
