Chapter 1: Overview

What is Tenor VoIP MultiPath Switch?

The Tenor VoIP MultiPath Switch A400/A800 is a VoIP (Voice over Internet Proto-col) H.323 standard analog gateway that transmits voice and fax data over the IP network. It can connect to the PBX, telephone, key system and PSTN via analog lines (the A400 provides four analog lines; the A800 provides eight analog lines). It connects to the IP via 10/100 Mbps ethernet connection.

Tenor Analog is the first VoIP analog gateway that intelligently switches calls over both the IP network and the PSTN in order to ensure high voice quality and call reliability. It functions as a gateway and a gatekeeper. The gateway converts circuit switched calls to VoIP calls; the gatekeeper performs IP call routing functions.

Figure 1-1 Tenor Analog MultiPath Switch

Tenor Analog MultiPath VoIP Gateway A400/A800

Quality of service is virtually guaranteed. The SelectNet™ Technology provides a “safety net,” which monitors the network packet delay for an IP call. If the delay becomes unacceptable—according to the specifications you assign— the call will be switched to the PSTN automatically. The unit’s simple plug and play embedded system architecture brings VoIP technology to your network without changing your existing PBX and telephone desk set. Your network configuration stays as is. The call type is transparent to the user. This technology boasts practically free voice without compromising quality and reliability.

Chapter 1: Overview

Tenor Analog MultiPath Switch Analog Series is available in two versions:

• Analog MultiPath Switch A400 (provides 4 analog lines/4 simultaneous VoIP conversations)

• Analog MultiPath Switch A800 (provides 8 analog lines/8 simultaneous VoIP conversations)

Typical Implementations

The Tenor Analog unit can utilize private and public IP networks to bypass the PSTN anywhere in the world. Call routing from many different locations makes it ideal for enterprises and institutions with remote locations. For example, Tenor supports Intranet, Extranet, and Internet implementations. Intranet communication is communication within the same company; Extranet communication is communi-cation with a source outside of your company. Internet communication is commu-nication running over the public IP network. Each implementation type is defined in the sections which follow.

The Tenor unit enables Intranet communication by transmitting data within a cor-porate data network. The Gateway functionality enables data to be sent out through a corporate LAN to reach other Gateways at separate sites. Packetized voice data is sent between intra-corporate sites without passing through the PSTN. The Gate-keeper functionality enables the two units within the same company to communi-cate.

For an illustration of intra-corporate communication, see Figure 1-2.

Features

The Tenor’s specific features are explained below.

Unique Design

The Tenor unit packs powerful VoIP features into one compact unit. The system’s embedded design enables you to configure the unit directly without depending upon another operating system; it is all delivered in one 19” rack mountable unit.

State-of-the-Art Configuration and Network Management

Just plug and go. Tenor CAMWizard makes Tenor’s configuration and management simple. Once you define an IP address via RS 232 port, the Tenor CAMWizard will send you on your way with a default configuration.

Advanced configuration through Tenor CAM is optional; you are able to set spe-cific configuration options that will help you to further maximize Tenor’s capabili-ties. Any standard Web browser can run Tenor CAM and Tenor CAMWizard; no other software is needed.

P/N 480-0003-00-12 1-7

Chapter 1: Overview

SelectNet™ Intelligence

SelectNet is the next generation of TASQ technology. If the network packet delay for an IP call becomes unacceptable—according to the delay jitter and packet loss specification you configure—Tenor will transparently switch the call to the PSTN automatically, without callers even knowing. This feature virtually guarantees that each call going VoIP will be not only routed successfully, but will deliver high quality sound.

Uninterrupted Service

If power is lost to the Tenor for any reason, or the unit is down, all call routing operations will bypass the unit. This means that the Tenor unit will be ignored and all calls will “bypass” the unit and route successfully to reach the PSTN or PBX.

Dynamic Call Routing

The Tenor unit’s call routing capabilities are state-of-the-art. Voice and fax calls are transmitted through the 10/100 Ethernet LAN and routed out to the corporate WAN. Tenor will first identify the call origination site —PBX, PSTN or Data Net-work—and then route it according to the parameters or defaults you configure in the routing database.

Multiple Lines/Signaling Supported

The Tenor unit can support up to eight analog lines, which means you can support up to eight simultaneous VoIP calls, depending upon your needs.

The PBX ports implement the FXS interface (a telephone, key system or PBX can be connected directly to these ports); the PSTN ports implement the FXO interface (for direct connection to the Central Office).

In addition, the Tenor unit supports Loop Start and Ground Start signaling for incoming and outgoing calls.

1-8 P/N 480-0003-00-12

Chapter 1: Overview

Easy Connect to Console

Plugging a DB-9 cable into the unit’s asynchronous RS-232 port will connect the unit and get you up and running. Through this port, you are able to configure an IP address for your unit.

H.323 Gatekeeper Call Control Management

The unit’s H.323 gatekeeper performs IP call routing functions which comply to the H.323 industry specifications for voice call control and management. The Tenor’s Gatekeeper performs call routing functions for calls entering and exiting a site.

H.323 endpoints in the same zone register with Tenor’s gatekeeper. When registra-tion is complete and a call is originated, the call request is sent to the gatekeeper. The call request provides the gatekeeper with the dialed number and requests band-width, authentication, and routing information. The gatekeeper confirms the dialed number, authenticates the call, verifies the bandwidth is available, and supplies the endpoint with the destination IP address. Tenor supports the use of two Gatekeep-ers, a primary and secondary. If communication with the primary Gatekeeper is lost, the Tenor will register with the second gatekeeper.

The primary function of the border element is to collect, manage, and distribute call routing information. The Border Element functionality is built into each Tenor.

Powerful System Monitoring

There are many different ways to monitor the health of the unit, including LEDs and alarms.

LEDs on the front of the unit to indicate the status of the corresponding port. LEDs light up according to a function the port is experiencing. For example, if one PBX port is active, the LED will light as green.

Internal alarms indicate there is a problem with the unit. Through the Tenor CAM management system or a telnet session, you can view active system alarms. Each alarm tells you specifically what problem the unit is encountering.

P/N 480-0003-00-12 1-9

Chapter 1: Overview

Call Detail Recording

Through the Call Detail Recording (CDR) feature, the Tenor unit is able to gener-ate a CDR at the completion of each call. A CDR is a string of data which contains call information such as call date and time, call length, calling party and called party. From this information you can capture billing type data, which can be used to create billing reports.

Interactive Voice Response (IVR)

Interactive Voice Response (IVR) enables you to offer services, such as Pre-paid calling cards and Post-paid accounts to your customers. The Tenor uses the RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service), for authenticating and authorizing user access to the VoIP network. The RADIUS is a standard protocol which provides a series of standardized messages formats for transmitting and receiving dialed information, account data and authorization codes between the network access gateway and the billing server.

Chapter 1: Overview

Capabilities

The Tenor’s specific capabilities are explained below.

PBX Calls

Calls coming from a PBX are routed to either the data network or the PSTN. The decision is made by Tenor based on the information you configure. For example, you can configure certain calls to always go to the PSTN. Any calls not configured to go to the PSTN will attempt to find a destination on the IP network. If a call can-not be completed by a unit’s gatekeeper, the call will be routed to the PSTN.

Tenor is transparent to the PBX and PSTN switch. There is no need to configure or change your PBX, desk set or local PSTN switch.

Chapter 1: Overview

PSTN Calls

Calls coming from the public network (PSTN) are unconditionally routed to the PBX. The Tenor unit transparently passes the call through to the PBX.

Figure 1-6

PSTN Call Routing

Data Network Calls

Calls coming from the data network can be routed to the PBX (for intra-corporate calls) or the PSTN (for Hop-off PBX calls supported). Tenor will route the call based on the dialed phone number. If the number is configured as a local phone number, the call will be sent to the PBX, otherwise the call is considered a “Hop-off PBX call” and the Tenor unit sends it out through the PSTN.

Chapter 1: Overview

Other Call Routing Options

There are several routing tables you can configure through the Tenor CAM to adjust how Tenor routes specific calls. For example, you may want to configure 911 as a “bypass number,” which means that all 911 calls coming into a Tenor unit will be routed directly to the PSTN.

There are three types of routing databases you can configure: Bypass Phone Num-bers (BPN), Local Directory Numbers (LDN), and Hop-off PBX Numbers.

BPN numbers are directly routed to the PSTN. LDN numbers are phone numbers for either a common trunk group or for each analog line within that trunk group. Hop-off PBX numbers are phone numbers which can be routed over the IP network to another location and then out to the PSTN as a local call.

P/N 480-0003-00-12 1-13

Chapter 1: Overview

PacketSaver™

PacketSaver packet multiplexing technology reduces the amount of IP bandwidth require to support multiple calls flowing between two networks. PacketSaver mini-mizes bandwidth usage by aggregating samples from multiple VoIP conversations and packing them into a larger IP packet with a single IP header. The process removes the need to send a bulky IP header with individual voice samples. As a result, it eliminates the transmission of redundant information.

Larger packetization helps reduce the bandwidth required for each VoIP call. This reduction in bandwidth lessens demand on routers, which decreases the possibility of dropped packets. It also reduces the possibility of packet loss that occurs with packet-based calls in congested networks.

NATAccess™

NATAccess is an intelligent network address translation technology. It enables VoIP networks with multiple H.323 endpoints to operate behind firewalls equipped with Network Address Translation (NAT); this provides maximum network secu-rity. NATAccess simplifies deployment and installation by eliminating the need to place the Tenor on a public IP network. Using NATAccess provides easy, secure expansion between multiple VoIP sites.

Chapter 1: Overview

Figure 1-8 Tenor with NATAccess Deployment

Virtual Tie Line

The Tenor unit can emulate any tie trunk. It provides all of the functionality of a tie trunk, including the considerable cost savings, but eliminates the need for a PBX trunk to be configured, or marked as a tie trunk. (A traditional tie trunk is a PBX-configured direct connection between two PBXs in separate locations. The tie trunk bypasses the PSTN network, which results in considerable savings.)

Your PBX does not need any additional configuration. The Tenor unit treats all trunks the same without compromising voice quality.

Hop-off PBX Call

Tenor supports those Hop-off PBX calls where the destination Tenor unit is pro-grammed to route the call to the PSTN. (A Hop-off PBX call is a toll call which hops through a private network to reduce or eliminate the toll charge.) The destina-tion Tenor unit is configured with the phone numbers to be “supported” out of that “zone”.

SNMP Support

The Tenor unit supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), the stan-dard protocol used to exchange network information between different types of networks. The Tenor unit acts as an SNMP agent to receive commands and issue responses to the network manager. The network manager will then be able to per-form certain functions, such as generate and send traps.

Flexible Networking Capabilities

Now, migrating to a global VoIP network is easy. The product’s flexible design and scalability makes it not only sensible, but essential to run your voice over IP.

The H.323 gatekeeper functionality adds to the product’s flexibility by pooling gateways within the same company to create a VoIP network and expand global networking capabilities. In addition, Tenor’s functionality makes it possible to con-nect to any PBX, anywhere. It’s universal, easy-to-connect and the unique design lends itself to network expansion.

P/N 480-0003-00-12 3-15


Assign IP Address

Before you can configure the Tenor unit, you need to assign a valid IP address for each unit. An IP address is a 32 bit address used to identify each network device in the TCP/IP network. If the unit does not have an IP address, data will not be able to be sent to or from the unit.

Communication between the Tenor unit and the PC is enabled via RS-232 connec-tion and terminal emulation software. The instructions below assume you are run-ning HyperTerminal (running on Windows 95 or later) on your PC. For all other terminal emulation packages, the specific Tenor commands used to assign the IP address will be the same, but the software specific instructions will be different. Consult the applicable documentation for more information.

NOTE: The instructions which follow assume the serial (RS-232) connection has been established as part of the installation process. If you need more information, see Connect to PC Console.

Assign IP Address as follows:

1. Click on Start> Programs> Accessories> Communications> HyperTerminal> Run. The HyperTerminal window will be displayed.

2. Click on Hypertrm.

3. Enter a Connection Description (i.e., name for each unit such as Tenor Analog A400).

4. Click Ok.

5. Choose the connection port (on your PC) from the Connect Using drop down list box (i.e., Direct to Com 1). Click Ok. The Com1 Properties window will be displayed. See Figure 3-10.

Overview

During the course of a product’s life cycle, it may be necessary for Quintum to issue software maintenance releases to resolve any bugs that may not have been detected during our systems test phase. Also, new features and functionality will require new software.

Types of Upgrade Software

Within the Quintum Tenor, there are three files:

boot.bin.The boot.bin file is the Tenor’s base operating system. The Tenor requires this software just to be able to power up normally. This software is not updated often from Quintum.

sys.bin. The sys.bin file is the Tenor’s system software. This software gives the Tenor all of its features and functionality. It provides all of the routing algorithms, etc. This software is updated as needed to provide bug fixes and feature enhance-ments.

db.bin. The db.bin is where your configuration for the Tenor is stored. This soft-ware is not upgraded directly, but will be upgraded, if needed, by the sys.bin file automatically. You may archive this file for a backup and later restore it back to the unit if necessary. You may also take this file from one Tenor and load it in to other Tenors of the same model type when you are creating a network of Tenors where the configuration is mostly the same except for some minor details.

Software Naming Convention:

When Quintum sends a customer new software, the file name will reflect the type of software it is. The convention that Quintum currently uses is as follows:

A

Parameter Name Possible Values Description

A Model Type

ta – Tenor Analog ver-siontd – Tenor Digital ver-sion

Each software is provided for either the Analor Digital Tenor. When you want to load a sytem, you must make sure that the software is fthat product type (analog or digital).

B Soft-ware Type

sy – sys.bin softwarebt – boot.bin software

As mentioned above, the two files that Quintucan provide for upgrades are the boot.bin andthe sys.bin. When the software is sent, you cidentify which software it is by this parameteAlso, when you load the Tenor, the Tenor wilonly accept a file name of boot.bin, sys.bin odb.bin, so you must rename the file to the correct type when you load the software. See thprocedures for more information.

C Soft-ware Version

Variable, based on soft-ware version

This will reflect the software version.

Release Notes

When a new version of software is released, software release notes will be gener-ated to indicate the new features and/or bug fixes. Additionally, the release notes will tell you which files are to be upgraded (sys.bin, boot.bin, or both).

Other Software

In addition to the above software, there is also a feat.bin file. The feat.bin file is the file that provides different features to the Tenor. If you upgrade from on model type to another, Quintum may send you this file for the sys-tem. The feat.bin file is coded to a specific Tenor serial number based on the serial number you provide us. If the feat.bin file is loaded in to a sys-tem that does not have the serial number coded in this file, the Tenor will loose all of its features and stop processing calls. The correct feat.bin will need to be reloaded to this system.

D Echo Cancel-lation Type

lec – Long Echo Cancel-lation.null – Short Echo Cancel-lation.

The long echo cancellation or lec software isused to provide up to 128ms of echo cancellation. Quintum recommends that all Tenors except the D3000 be loaded with the lec versisoftware. If the file does not have lec in this position, then it is has shorter echo cancellatiand should only be loaded on the D3000.

P/N 480-0003-00-12 3-21


Load Upgrade software

Before you begin

Before you upgrade the Tenor with new software, you should check the following:

1. Make sure that you have received the correct software for your system from Quintum.

2. Make sure you have saved the software file to a directory on your PC. For example purposes, we will use c:\Quintum as the directory.

3. Check the file size from a DOS window of the file you received. When Quin-tum emails the software to you, we should provide the file size as shown from DOS. To check this, open a DOS window on your PC where the file is stored and go to the directory where that file is. At the DOS prompt type dir <enter>. You will now see a list of all files in that directory and what there file size is. If the file size does not match what Quintum said it should be, then the file may be corrupted. Contact the Quintum Technical Assistance Center (QTAC) to have them resend the file.

4. Make sure that there are no calls active on the Tenor. If possible, place the Tenor in bypass mode.

5. Make sure that you can communicate with the Tenor from your PC over IP. You can only upgrade the Tenor over IP and not from the serial interface.

Load the Software

Follow the steps below to load the new software to your Tenor. You may choose to load both the boot.bin and the sys.bin files before the final step. This procedure is also used to restore a db.bin file that you previously archived.

1. From your PC, open a DOS window and at the DOS prompt change the direc-tory to where the software is located (ex. cd c:\quintum).

2. At the prompt type dir <enter> to verify that the correct software is there.

P/N 480-0003-00-12 3-22


3. At the DOS prompt type ftp ipaddress <enter>. Where ipaddress is, enter the IP address for the Tenor.

4. At the User prompt hit <enter>. The Tenor has no user name.

5. At the Password prompt, type in the Tenor’s password you assigned. If you have not set a password on the Tenor, then just hit <enter>.

6. At the ftp> prompt type bin <enter>. This will tell FTP that the file to be transferred is a binary file.

7. At the ftp> prompt type hash <enter>. This will tell FTP to provide a hash (#) mark as a status indicator.

8. At the ftp> prompt type put origfile destfile. Where origfile is enter the name of the file as it is shown in DOS when you saved the file. For example; ta-sy-p2-4-5qt-lec.bin or td-sy-p2-4-5qt-lec.bin. Where destfile is, enter the file name that the Tenor needs to see. For example; sys.bin. So a full example might be; put ta-sy-p2-4-5qt-lec.bin sys.bin.

9. When you hit <enter> the file will first be transferred to the Tenor. This will be evident by the hash (#) marks appearing across the screen.

10. When the hash (#) stop appearing, the file has been transferred and the Tenor is now erasing the old software and loading the new one. This step can take as short as 20 seconds or as long as 1-2 minutes. This is a critical step. If the Tenor looses power or resets during this period, it may not come back up.

11. When the above is completed, you should get a message of “Transfer Com-plete”. If you do not get this message, or if the message reads “connection closed by remote host”, then the load is not completed yet. Wait about 2 min-utes and then try to FTP into the Tenor again. If it allows you in, the load is complete and you can continue to step 12.

12. When you get the message Transfer Complete, the load is completed. If you have another file, like the boot.bin file to load, you can repeat step 8 to load this file now. Exit FTP by typing bye <enter>.

13. The Tenor must know be reset for the new software to be active.

What is SNMP?

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the standard protocol used to exchange network management information.

SNMP management requires two primary elements: a network manager and an SNMP agent. A network manager is the software running on a workstation through which the network administrator monitors and controls the different hardware and software systems that comprise a network. The agent is a piece of software running in a piece of network equipment that implements the SNMP protocol. SNMP defines exactly how a network manager communicates with an SNMP agent. For example, SNMP defines the format of requests that a network manager sends to an agent and the format of replies the agent returns.

Through an SNMP management system, the network manager can communicate and manage several different network devices at the same time. The network man-ager polls the SNMP agents (such as routers, hubs or network servers) for certain requested information. The agent will then gather information about the machine it is running on and carries requests from the network manager to read and change the information.

How does Tenor utilize SNMP?

The Tenor unit supports the SNMP protocol; specifically, Hewlett® Packard’s HP Openview software acts as the SNMP network manager for the Tenor unit. Once you set up HP Openview to view and “auto-discover” Tenor as a network device using SNMP, HP Openview will be able to issue commands, get responses, and perform certain functions. For example, you can configure the SNMP agent in Tenor to generate and send traps for existing Tenor alarms to HP Openview.

A Tenor unit can report alarms to up to three network managers.

What is an Alarm Manager?

Alarms are brief text message that appear on your workstation when the Tenor unit encounters a problem, such as a failed interface, disconnected call, etc. You can reach the Alarm Manager via Telnet session or via Tenor CAM web based manage-ment system.

How to Read Alarms

The Alarm Manager reports alarms according to criteria such as the alarm’s sever-ity level, line number the alarm occurred on, channel number, etc. There are two alarm types displayed: Active Alarms and Alarm History. An Active Alarm list displays all the alarms still active on the system; these alarms have not been cleared or deleted. An Alarm History is a list of the last 100 alarms stored in the system since the last time you performed a delete operation.

Whether you view alarm information via Telnet or Tenor CAM, the same informa-tion will be displayed (the Type field will be displayed in Alarm History only). For example, see Figure 7-1 (Telnet generated list) and Figure 7-2 (Tenor CAM gener-ated list). Field definitions for both views are listed in Table 7-1.

Chapter 8: Call Detail Recording

This chapter tells you how to display and understand the Call Detail Recording (CDR) feature. Examples are included later.


Description of CDR

Connect Tenor unit to CDR Server

Understand CDR data

P/N 480-0003-00-12 8-1


Overview

Through the Call Detail Recording (CDR) feature, the Tenor unit is able to gener-ate a CDR at the completion of each call. A CDR is a string of data which contains call information such as call date and time, call length, calling party, and called party. From this information you can capture billing type data which can be used to create billing reports.

The last 2000 CDRs generated are stored by the Tenor unit in a circular buffer (this means that any number of CDRs over 2000 will overwrite the existing CDRs). We advise that you set up a PC or workstation to act as a CDR server responsible for receiving the CDRs as they are generated (up to 2 servers can be set up to collect CDRs from the Tenor unit). The server will be responsible for capturing CDRs via TCP/IP, processing/storing them in permanent memory, and producing billing records. Any CDRs not collected from the Tenor unit will be lost if the unit is reset.

8-2 P/N 480-0003-00-12


Establish connection between Tenor and CDR Server

In order to capture CDRs, a connection between the Tenor unit and a CDR server must be established. Based on configuration, the Tenor unit can either establish a TCP/IP session with one or both of these CDR servers, or the CDR server can establish a connection with the Tenor unit. A flow diagram (Figure 8-1) illustrates the general transfer of information; both connection types are described in the sec-tions which follow.

Before attempting to collect CDRs, you should configure the desired information. Through CLI commands, you can assign CDR server IP address, CDR server port

P/N 480-0003-00-12 8-3


number, CDR server password and CDR format information using the following CLI commands: cdrserverip, cdserverport, cdrpassword, and cdrformat.

• cdrserverip: IP addresses of the CDR server. (Used when the Tenor unit establishes connection with CDR server.)

• cdrserverport: The port numbers used by the CDR server(s). (Used when the Tenor unit establishes connection with CDR server.)

• cdrpassword: Password to be used by the CDR server(s).

• cdrformat: This configuration parameter command is used to choose which of the four possible Call Data Record output formats you would like sent to your CDR Server: Possible entries are 0 (standard format), 1 (extended for-mat), 100 (standard format with session ID functionality), 101 (extended for-mat with session ID functionality).

When the CDR format is set to 100 or 10, the Tenor will send a reset number after its unit name. The CDR server will save the Tenor’s reset number. If the reset number is 0, the last sequence number will be the sequence number of the CDRs in the Tenor’s current CDR file. If the reset number is not 0 and the incoming reset number is not the same as the reset number, this implies that the Tenor has reset or shut down before. In this case, the last sequence num-ber will be set to 0. If the last sequence number is 0, the Tenor will send all CDRs to the CDR server. If there are more than 10 CDRs in the Tenor, the Tenor will send 10 CDRs at a time until it sends the rest of the CDRs. If the last sequence number is not 0, the Tenor will send all CDRs with a sequence number after the last sequence number.

A unique session ID number —invisible to the user— confirms that the unit has not been reset and the Tenor has delivered all call records to the CDR Server.

Tenor Establishes Connection with CDR Server

To capture CDR reports via CDR server (i.e., a PC or workstation you use to cap-ture CDR data) you must first configure the IP address and port number of the CDR server in the Tenor unit. Once these are configured, the Tenor unit will be able to establish a TCP/IP session with the server on its own.

8-4 P/N 480-0003-00-12


CDR Server Establishes Connection with Tenor

If no IP address/port number is configured, the CDR server has to initiate the ses-sion. The Tenor unit uses TCP port numbers 9002 and 9003 on its side for the CDR sessions.

Whether the Tenor unit establishes the connection with the CDR server or the CDR server attempts to establish the connection, there is a limit of 5 attempts to enter the correct password before the TCP session is terminated (to configure a password, see the CLI command cdrpassword in the previous section).

After the CDR server successfully logs into the CDR port of the Tenor unit, the CDR server will be provided with the IP address and unit name of the Tenor. The CDR server will then supply the sequence number of the last CDR that it has received from the Tenor unit. If the last CDR number is unknown, the server should send 0 for the sequence number. After this exchange, the Tenor unit will start delivering new CDRs to the server.

P/N 480-0003-00-12 8-5

What is IVR?

Interactive Voice Response (IVR) is a feature of the Tenor that enables you to offer services, such as Pre-paid calling cards and Post-paid accounts to your customers. The Tenor uses the RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service), for authenticating and authorizing user access to the VoIP network. The RADIUS is a standard protocol which provides a series of standardized messages formats for transmitting and receiving dialed information, account data and authorization codes between the network access gateway and the billing server. As a result, the RADIUS enables the Tenor to interoperate directly with billing server application software from a wide range of vendors. To provide redundancy, the Tenor supports two RADIUS servers: Primary and Secondary.

The IVR interface enables the Tenor to play back interactive pre-recorded voice messages to a customer calling in from the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), requesting information such as account number, PIN number, and calling number. The caller is prompted for each piece of information and the digits are captured by the Tenor and converted into RADIUS format. The RADIUS will use the input data to identify the customer, verify the identity using the PIN code, check the account status, and then send back messages in RADIUS format to authorize the Tenor to proceed with the call. The call will then be routed over the VoIP network to the appropriate remote Tenor.

Through an interactive IVR Prompt Server, you are able to pre-record and custom-ize voice prompt files which lead the customer through the calling card procedure. You can pre-record messages to meet your network and customer needs. The IVR Prompt Server communicates with a Tenor via an IP link using TFTP protocol. An IVR Tenor supports two IVR Prompt Servers: Primary and Secondary. The IVR Prompt server is on the same IP network as either the Tenor or the RADIUS server. Four language are supported for voice prompts: English, Mandarin, Persian, and French. The multiple language feature enables you to select multiple languages in which to play voice recordings. For example, once the welcome message is played, a voice selection prompt asks the user in which language to play the remainder of the messages: Press 1 for the first language configured, 2 for the sec-ond language configured or 3 for the third language configured.

9-2 P/N 480-0003-00-12


Through the Command Line Interface (CLI), you can configure all functions within the Tenor that will be used for pre-paid/post-paid call services, including IVR and RADIUS data.

IVR Call Types

There are two call services Tenor supports through IVR: Pre-paid Calling Card and Post-paid Account.

• Pre-paid Calling Card. A card with a set dollar amount to be used for plac-ing voice calls. The normal call flow for a pre-paid service starts with the caller dialing the pre-paid access number from a regular phone. The Tenor prompts the caller for a card number and destination number which are sent to the RADIUS server (third party software) for verification.

• Post-paid Account. An account used for placing voice calls where the account number and PIN (personal identification number) are used for secu-rity. The Tenor prompts the caller to enter an account number and a PIN (per-sonal identification number), which are sent to the RADIUS server for verification. Normally, there is no limit on the amount or duration the caller is authorized to talk.

See Figure 9-1 for an illustration IVR implementation.

P/N 480-0003-00-12 9-3


ANI Authentication

There are two types of ANI Authentication supported in the Tenor: Type 1 and Type 2.

ANI Authentication Type 1 enables calling subscribers to receive authentication based on the calling number. If an incoming call has no associated ANI informa-tion, the call will not be answered, but simply disconnected. If ANI is present, it will be authenticated with the Radius server (before answering the call). If authen-tication fails, the call will not be answered but simply disconnected. If authentica-tion succeeds, the call will be answered and second dial tone will be provided.

ANI Authentication Type 2 enables calling subscribers to receive three authentica-tion types based on the calling number: (1) If there is an ANI in the setup message, authentication with the ANI will be done (2) If there is no ANI information in the setup message, the user will be prompted for a PIN number and (3) If the incoming packet has the ANI, but authentication with the ANI fails, the user will be prompted for a PIN number. If authentication succeeds, a 2nd dial tone is sent to receive a DNIS. If there is ANI information in incoming packet but the authentica-tion with the ANI fails, the caller is prompted for a PIN number. If the authentica-tion succeeds, a 2nd dial tone is sent to receive a DNIS.

Multi-sessionMulti-session enables the user to make another call at the end of a call, without having to hang up and call again. At the end of the first call, a voice prompt will ask if the user wants another call. In addition, the user will be able to terminate an ongoing call and make another call, by pressing ** or ##.

Configure IVR - Quick Start

For a Tenor to be used as part of the complete IVR system, and communicate effec-tively with the IVR Prompt server and RADIUS, you must configure basic options in the Tenor via Command Line Interface (CLI) for the following:

• Basic IVR Data (via Trunk Group)

• IVR Prompt Server

• RADIUS

Instructions for configuring basic IVR information via Command Line Interface (CLI) are described below. For detailed information about all CLI commands available for IVR and detailed information about the commands described below, see the Command Line Interface (CLI) guide you received with the unit.

Basic IVR Data (via Trunk Group)

Configure basic IVR information via config pstntg 1# prompt as follows:

1. Access CLI.

2. Access the config pstntg 1# prompt (i.e., config pstntg 1#).

3. Type ivrtype 2 (sets the IVR type to pre-paid calling services).

4. Type ivraccessnumber, followed by the telephone number used to access the IVR system (up to 14 digits).

5. Type ivrcardlength 10 (10 is an example, the length of the calling card is numeric up to 20 digits).

IVR Prompt Server

Configure IVR Prompt Server data via config ivr# prompt as follows:

1. Access CLI.

P/N 480-0003-00-12 9-9


2. Access the config ivr# prompt.

3. Type fileserverip p, followed by the IP address for the IVR Prompt Server (i.e., fileserverip p 208.22.234.34). The “p” indicates the primary IVR Prompt Server.

4. Access the applicable config pstntg 1# or config pbxtg 1# prompt (i.e., config pstntg 1#).

5. Set the ivrlanguage field to the applicable language: 0 (English), 1 (Persian), 2 (Mandarin), or 3 (French).

RADIUS Server

Configure RADIUS data via config radius# prompt as follows:

1. Access CLI.

2. Access the config radius# prompt.

3. Type host p, followed by the IP address for the primary RADIUS server (i.e., host p 208.22.234.34). The “p” indicates the primary RADIUS server.

4. Type host s, followed by the IP address for the secondary RADIUS server (i.e., host s 208.22.234.32). The “s” indicates the secondary RADIUS server.

5. Type sharedsecret (sharedsecret is similar to password), followed by the RADIUS key (up to 64 characters) (i.e., sharedsecret 454AJU).

6. Ensure accountingtype is configured. If this field is set to 0, no “stop account-ing” messages will be sent.

9-10 P/N 480-0003-00-12


Configure Voice Prompts

What is a Voice Prompt?

A voice prompt is a pre-recorded message played for a caller at specific times dur-ing a call; the actual voice messages used in the prompting process are stored in the IVR prompt server in the form of audio files that can be recorded by a recording studio. The audio files are transmitted to the Tenor using TFTP protocol. They can then be played back over the PSTN connection to the caller in messages such as “ Enter Account Number”, “Enter PIN number”, “Enter Card Number”, etc.

The IVR Prompt Server communicates with a Tenor via IP link using TFTP proto-col. The IVR Prompt Server acts as the TFTP Server; each Tenor represents a TFTP client.

When a Tenor system is re-started, it does not have any voice prompts stored in its internal memory. Each voice prompt is retrieved on demand from the IVR Prompt Server; it will stay in the Tenor’s cache memory for replay until one of the follow-ing happens: an ivrupdate command is issued, a change of IP address in the data-base, or the Tenor has been powered off or reset.

To provide some redundancy for the system, two IVR Prompt Servers can be optionally specified in the database. The servers should store the identical voice prompt files (i.e., they are indistinguishable from each other as IVR Prompt Serv-ers). One of the IVR Prompt Servers remains active during the operation, unless it fails to respond to the Tenor for some reason. In that case, the other one will be picked up as an active IVR Prompt Server automatically. It will be used as the active server for all the subsequent requests; in the case that if fails, the active server will be switched back to the original one, and the cycle repeats itself.

Voice Prompt Requirements (English Requirements)

NOTE: To ensure good speech quality, the voice prompts should be profession-ally recorded in a studio.

Table 9-2 specifies requirements for each voice file recorded. Definitions for each table entry are listed below.

P/N 480-0003-00-12 9-11


• Filename. Actual filename under which the appropriate pre-recorded speech is to be stored on the IVR Prompt Server. The voice files should be in CCITT G711 µ-Law format and stored with .wav extension (no application-specific headers, like in the files generated by the Microsoft Recorder, are allowed).

• Suggested Content. This field contains a particular piece of speech which represents the voice file, played back along with other file(s) during the actual IVR call. For these particular cases, the voice files should be carefully recorded, using appropriate intonation patterns.

• Example with other Voice Files. This field uses the specified voice file with other possible voice files. For example, the file [enter] + [account_number] has the following contents: Please enter your account number. The “+” indi-cates “in addition to” the filename.

Create Voice Prompt Files

The IVR Prompt Server contains voice prompts; it will exchange information with a Tenor via TFTP protocol and act as the TFTP Server.

NOTE: Although logically separate from the RADIUS server, the IVR Prompt Server may be physically part of the same server.

Configure the IVR Prompt Server as follows:

1. Create a root directory for the IVR voice files (i.e, c:\quintum\ivr).

2. Create a subdirectory for each supported language and use the following spe-cific naming conventions:

• For English, use the filename c:\quintum\ivr\English.

• For Persian, use the filename c:\quintum\ivr\Persian

• For Mandarin, use the filename c:\quintum\ivr\Mandarin

• For French, use the filename c:\quintum\ivr\French

3. Record all voice prompts and store under the c:\quintum\ivr\English subdirec-tory.

4. Launch the TFTP Server and configure the home directory to be the same as in step 1.

5. Run the TFTP Server.

Update IVR Voice Prompts

If a particular voice prompt was retrieved from the IVR Prompt Server and is played back during an IVR call, it will be cached in the Tenor’s RAM. This means

zero_balance “You have zero balance in your account.”

[zero_balance] + [good_bye]

You have zero balance in your account. Good-bye.

P/N 480-0003-00-12 9-17


that the next request to play the same prompt will be completed without retrieving the file from the IVR prompt server. As a result, response time is improved.

The IVR voice prompts will be flushed automatically when the IVR Prompt Server address has been changed in the database. In rare cases, when the total memory usage by the voice prompts exceeds the allowed maximum, the prompts will be also automatically flushed. At any point, you can update the Tenor to play updated IVR voice prompts through the ivrupdatprompts command. Using the ivrup-dateprompts command, the files can be updated without first restarting the unit.

You can run the ivrupdateprompts command through the Command Line Interface (CLI) as follows:

1. Access the Command Line Interface (CLI) via serial port or telnet connection.

2. At the Quintum prompt, type ivrupdateprompts.

The Tenor will flush all cached prompts; the next IVR call will play back the updated prompts.

Getting Acquainted with VoIP Network

This Appendix gives you a general overview of VoIP, including how the Tenor Analog VoIP Gateway A400/A800 fits into your network LAN and WAN architec-ture. You can use this information to learn VoIP terms and technology, as well as set up your network system to maximize the voice quality and toll savings the Tenor unit offers.

What is Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)?

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is a technology which enables voice and fax communications to be passed through your existing data network using the TCP/IP protocol, bypassing the PSTN. The Tenor Analog gateway contains a special microprocessor called a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) which takes the analog voice and fax data coming from your PBX, compresses it, and converts it into packets that can be transported over your Ethernet LAN. The data can then be transported through an IP-based router to reach a WAN or remote location. As a result, your voice and FAX traffic runs over your data network to bypass the PSTN and avoid long distance tolls associated with the public network.

Quick Look at WAN/LAN

A LAN is a local area network that carries data between workstations in the same location. Workstations in a LAN are connected together— usually by an Ethernet hub— to share information. A number of LANs connected together through a long distance communications medium is called a WAN (Wide Area Network). For example, your company may have a LAN in New York, a LAN in Tokyo, and a LAN in Los Angeles. When these sites connect together over the data network or the public network, it is considered a WAN. As a result, intra-corporate informa-tion is passed through the data network from one LAN to another LAN site in a remote location.

Ethernet

Ethernet is a Local Area Network (LAN) data network design that connects devices like computers, printers, and terminals. It transmits data over twisted pair of coaxial cable at speeds of 10 or 100 Mbps.

Intranet Telephony

An Intranet (also known as Enterprise IP network) is a private "Internet web site" allowing you to deploy services within your company from a dedicated web server. This web site is separate from your external web site for security reasons. Intranets can be deployed within your company over the internal LAN, or a number of LANs at corporate sites connected by an IP WAN or IP Virtual Private Network (IP-VPN). Because Intranets are based on Internet technology and use the Internet Protocol (IP) they may be used for deploying voice (VoIP) and FAX (FoIP) ser-vices. A major benefit of using an Intranet when deploying VoIP or FoIP services is that the network architecture is well defined insuring that network delay, latency, and packet loss are predictable.

Extranet Telephony

An Extranet is similar to an Intranet except that it is externally accessible by a lim-ited number of people on a secure basis. Because Extranets are based on Internet technology and use the Internet Protocol (IP) they may be used for deploying voice (VoIP) and FAX (FoIP) services. A major benefit of using an Extranet when deploying VoIP or FoIP services is that the network architecture is well defined insuring that network delay, latency, and packet loss are predictable.

Internet Telephony

The Internet is a universally accessible public packet switched network. It consists of a Global network of high speed computers and packet routers connected in a complex mesh structure. This network uses the standardized Internet Protocol (IP) to pass packets from point to point through the network. These packets are directed from point to point within the network by data routers. The connection between two routers is called a "hop" and a typical connection will consist of many hops. The number of hops will determine the delay and latency in the connection. Con-gestion may cause packets to be lost within the network. The Internet was designed to provide data communications on a "best available connection" basis and does not guarantee any "Quality of Service". This mode of operation is suitable for data and E-Mail transmissions which are not delay sensitive, but is not ideal for real-time data streams such as voice or video.

Gatekeeper vs. Gateway

Gateways are voice-only or voice/data/video devices which connect IP packet based networks and circuit-switched networks. A gateway converts the circuit switched calls to VoIP calls.

The Gatekeeper performs IP call routing functions, such as bandwidth control, call control signaling and call authorization for Gateways, IP phones, and H.323 termi-nals. The Gatekeeper communicates with other Gatekeepers through a Border Ele-ment.

H.323 Network

H.323 is a protocol standard for sending multimedia communications (e.g., data/voice/video) simultaneously over packet-based networks, such as IP. H.323 con-trols standards such as call control and call routing. An H.323 network consists of zones and administrative domains. A zone is a group of endpoints (e.g, gateways, terminals, etc.) in one corporate site. Each zone is controlled by one Gatekeeper and all zones together in a company is considered an administrative zone.

TCP/IP

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is a layered data com-munications protocol defined by the IETF. Each layer defines a different aspect of how two devices should talk to each other (i.e., when a network device should send/receive data). For example, layer one is the physical means of communica-tions (e.g., modem), whereas layer 3 is the network type (e.g., Internet).

TCP/IP is a combination of two layers of this communication protocol. TCP (layer 4) does the actual transport of data; IP (layer 3) sets the rules for moving the data from one end of the network to another. TCP/IP uses an IP address to identify a location for specific network devices. Each Tenor unit will have a unique IP address, which you configure through the Tenor CAMWizard.

Putting it all Together

Tenor Gateway is an H.323 based VoIP gateway/gatekeeper which takes voice and fax signals from a PBX, converts and compresses the signals into packetized data

C-4 P/N 480-0003-00-12


and drives them over TCP/IP through a 10/100 Ethernet LAN. The data can then be routed out to your corporation’s WAN. The Gateway is connected to the PBX via upstream analog lines; it is connected to the PSTN via downstream analog lines.
