1. Introduction

These Application Notes describe the compliance-tested configuration utilizing RAD Data

Communication’s IPmux-14 TDMoIP Gateway and Avaya S8700 Media Server Multi-Connect configuration running Avaya Communication Manager, to transport DS1 Converter Remote Port

Network connectivity (T1/E1s) over an IP network.

RAD IPmux-14 is a TDMoIP gateway that enables the TDM E1/T1 circuits to be extended over an

IP/Ethernet network by extending voice and signaling protocols transparently over packet networks.

The IPmux-14 provides Circuit Emulation (CE) services over IP using TDMoIP (CE). The device supports 1 to 4 T1 or E1 TDM facilities and converts the data streams coming from its TDM ports into packets that are extended over the Fast Ethernet network port, and vice versa.

Avaya S8700 Media Server Multi-Connect configuration provides for remote Port Networks (remote

PNs) which are remotely located from the main Port Network (main PN). Remote PNs located within 5 miles may be coupled using fiber-optic cable. When the remoting distance between the main PN and the remote PN exceeds 5 miles, coupling is provided using a DS1 Converter Complex.

A DS1 Converter Complex consists of a pair of DS1 Converter boards (TN1654) and their associated T1/E1 facilities. The Converter Complex is installed in place of the conventional fiber and supports from 1 to 4 T1 or E1 facilities, providing a total of 92 T1 channels (or 120 E1 channels) in each direction between the main PN and the remote PN.

The compliance testing focused on transporting T1/E1 facilities associated with the DS1 Converter boards over an IP network utilizing RAD IPmux-14 TDMoIP Gateway.

1.1. Sample Network Configuration

The tested network configuration is shown in Figure 1.

The network is configured for two locations – the main site and the remote site. The main site consists of Avaya S8700 Media Server Multiconnect configuration that includes an Avaya MCC1

Media Gateway, which will be referred to as the main Port Network (main PN). The remote site consists of Avaya SCC1 Media Gateway, which will be referred to as a remote PN. An Avaya DS1

Converter TN1654 board is installed in the main PN and another TN1654 board is installed in the remote PN. Four T1 (E1) links are provided between these two DS1 Converter boards over an IP network. The IP transport of T1/E1 is enabled by a RAD IPmux-14 device at each site. The IP network consists of an Avaya P333R Stackable Switch at the main site and an Avaya P333T stackable switch at the remote site. At each site, the TDM side of the IPmux-14 is connected to the

DS1 Converter board via 4 T1 (E1) cables, and the IP side is connected to an Avaya Stackable switch. Both the main PN and the remote PN support a mix of analog, digital and IP phones, and fax machines. Another fax machine is also connected in the public network. A modem for making data calls is supported in the remote PN.

Both the main PN and remote PN derive synchronization from a common public source - a public T1

(E1). At the main site, a public network T1 (E1) is connected to a T1 (E1) board in the Avaya MCC1

Media Gateway. At the remote site, a public network T1 (E1) is connected to an External port on the

RAD IPmux-14 device, and this device transmits the synchronization clock to the Avaya SCC1

Media Gateway via the T1 (E1) links associated to the DS1 Converter board. This configuration is also applicable to Avaya DEFINITY® Servers that support DS1 Converter TN1654 Complex.

4. Configure Avaya Communication Manager

Avaya Communication Manager can be configured via a System Access Terminal (SAT). There are two basic configuration steps that need to be followed when the DS1 Remote Port Connectivity application is deployed:

1. Configure Fiber link - The DS1 Converter Complex is installed in place of the conventional fiber. The configurartion of the DS1 Converter complex is done by configuring the conventional fiber link, administering the DS1 Converter related parameters.

2. Synchronization – Configure and verify that the main PN and remote PN derive synchronization from a common source.

4.1. Configure Fiber Link

Before configuring Avaya Communication Manager for DS1 remote Port Network connectivity, make sure that the relevant hardware is installed as follows:

On main PN,

• Switch Node Interface TN573B board, (e.g., in carrier slot 1E20).

• DS1 Converter TN1654 board, (e.g., in carrier slot 1E21).

• Connect TN573B and TN1654 with a TN1654 Y cable.

On remote PN,

• Expansion Interface TN570B board, (e.g., in carrier slot 11A01).

• DS1 Converter TN1654 board, (e.g., in carrier slot 11A02).

• Connect TN570B and TN1654 with a TN1654 Y cable.

4.1.1. Configure the T1 Facility

Each DS1 Converter TN1654 board supports up to 4 T1 facilities, named as DS1C facility A, B, C and D respectively. Set the dipswitches on the board for T1 operation for all the DS1C facilities.

The fiber-link administration in Avaya Communication Manager is used for configuring the DS1C connection between the main PN and the remote PN. Consider the main PN and the remote PN as the two endpoints connected via a “fiber link”. From the System Access Terminal (SAT), administer a fiber link using the add fiber-link x, where x is the fiber link number. Configure the location of the boards on each Endpoint that will be connected to form a fiber link, and the parameters associated with each T1 facility.

The following example adds fiber-link number 11 to connect the main PN (Endpoint 1) to remote

PN (Endpoint 2):

• For Endpoint 1 (main PN), o Set the board location for the switch node interface (sni) by setting Board Location field. For example, the location of the sni board is 1E20. o Set the DS1 Converter board location by setting DS1CONV Board Location field.

For example, the location of the DS1 Converter is 1E21.

• For Endpoint 2 (remote PN), o Set the board location for the expansion interface (ei) by setting Board Location field. For example, the location of the EI board is 11A01. o Set the DS1 Converter board location by setting DS1CONV Board Location field.

For example, the location of the DS1 Converter is 11A02.

• Set Converter to Yes , the Type field to Avaya, and the Type of Transceivers to A

4.2. Synchronization

For successful operation of this application, it is imperative that:

• Both the main PN and the remote PN derive synchronization from a facility that can be traced to a common public source - a public T1 (E1).

• The remote PN must derive the synchronization from the DS1-C facility on a DS1 Converter board resident in the remote PN.

As described in Section 1.1, at the main site, a public network T1 (E1) is connected to a T1 (E1) board in the Avaya MCC1 Media Gateway to provide Synchronization to the main PN. All the boards on the main PN derive synchronization from this common source, including the DS1

Converter board.

At the remote site, the remote PN must derive synchronization from the DS1-C facility, which can be traced to a common source such as Public T1. Normally the DS1-C facility at the remote site is connected to the public network, and hence it can derive synchronization from a public T1.

However, in this application, the DS1-C facility is connected to an IPmux-14, and IPmux-14 is connected to an IP network. The IP network cannot provide (or transport) the T1 Synchronization.

The alternative is using the External Clock timing mode supported by IPmux-14. Connect a public network T1(E1) to an External port on RAD IPmux-14 device at remote site. This results in IPmux-

14 deriving synchronization traceable to a common public source, and in turn this device transmits the synchronization clock to the remote PN via the T1 (E1) links associated with the DS1 Converter board.

4.2.1. Configure the Main PN Synchronization Source

Using the SAT, configure the Synchronization Source for main PN by using the change

synchronization command. For the Primary field, enter the location of the T1 (or E1) board that is connected to the public network. In the following example the Primary is set to 01C15. change synchronization Page 1 of 10

4.2.2. Remote PN Synchronization

As stated in Section 4.2, connect the External Clock port on the IPmux-14 to a T1 from public network (a common source to the main PN).

To verify that the remote PN is deriving synchronization from the DS1-C facility on the DS1

Converter board, enter the test tone-clock x long command on SAT, where x is the location of the tone-clock board on the remote PN. In the following example, the tone-clock board for remote PN is

5. Interoperability Compliance Testing

The interoperability compliance testing focused on transporting the T1/E1s utilized for Avaya DS1

Converter Remote Port Network connectivity, over an IP network using the RAD IPmux-14

TDMoIP Gateway device. The testing was performed for transporting four T1s from an Avaya

MCC1 Media Gateway (main PN) at the main site to an Avaya SCC1 Media Gateway (remote PN) at the remote site. The same tests were repeated for transporting four E1s.

5.1. General Test Approach

The general approach was to validate the execution of maintenance tests for the remote PN and make a variety of calls over the main PN and remote PN. The test calls included voice calls, data calls using modems, and fax calls – off net and on-net calls. Synchronization of remote PN with main PN is critical to the success of this solution and was configured and validated. The main objectives were to verify that:

• The remote PN is up and working when the DS1 Converter link is established.

• The hardware objects on the remote PN, such as DS1-C facility, tone-clock, fiber-link etc., are working properly and can be maintained via Avaya Communication Manager maintenance test commands.

• Resetting the hardware such as DS1 Converter board or remote port network, or resetting the

Avaya Communication Manager works properly.

• The on-net voice calls (from main PN to remote PN, or remote PN to main PN) and the offnet voice calls (remote PN to public network via main PN) have good quality and no static or echo.

• Modem calls from the remote PN to the public network via the main PN are successful.

• On-net and Off-net Fax calls are successful.

• DTMF tones can be transmitted successfully from remote PN to the public network.

• The maximum possible calls over the DS1 Connector complex (over 4 T1s or 4 E1s) can be established.

• The system operates properly during and after a load test.

5.2. Test Results

All test cases completed successfully. With the appropriate synchronization of main PN and remote

PN, the voice, data and fax calls were successful. The following behavior was observed in one of the scenarios:

1. DTMF tones are transmitted from remote PN to public network successfully. However, when the digit keys are pressed and released on the telephone, even after the key is released, the

DTMF tone is heard for another fraction of a second as if it is being echoed.
