Chapter 1 Introduction
How the Solution Works
The Fast Ethernet switch connects to an Ethernet and IP infrastructure that supports a local Voice over
IP (VoIP) network. This infrastructure provides the connection between the end subscribers and the
service provider’s point-of-presence (POP) local VoIP network.
In this local VoIP network, the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch is the call agent. The call agent provides
MGCP-based call control and signaling support, subscriber features, and interfaces to network resources
such as announcement servers and voice-mail servers.
For calls to H.323 long distance or the PSTN (we will refer to these calls outside the local network as
off-net calls), the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch uses H.323 signaling. A service provider with an existing
H.323 infrastructure can leverage that network to provide long-distance VoIP services to their MGCP
subscribers.
The solution architecture comprises these layers:
• The residential or small-business access layer, containing the customer premises equipment (CPE)
and uplink technology.
• The call control layer, which provides call control and signaling support, feature server interfaces,
and support for network resource interfaces such as announcement servers and voice-mail servers.
• The aggregation and core switching layer, which provides traffic aggregation from all CPE uplinks
and interfaces to the packet network backbone.
• The H.323 based call control layer, which provides call control signaling for the H.323
long-distance network. This layer also includes trunking gateways and their associated signaling for
the PSTN interface.
• The network management layer, which provides the element management systems (EMSs) and
network management system (NMS) components.
Note The solution scope, and the scope of solution documentation, includes access transport, but does not
extend to core transport, which is assumed to be in place.

Media gateways
The Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch is deployed in a fully redundant primary and secondary configuration
where the secondary call agent takes over when the primary call agent fails. The Cisco BTS 10200
Softswitch is designed for high availability, with no single point of failure.
A single call agent consists of an active and standby half, located on the Sun UNIX platform. Call-state
information is copied from the active to the standby call agent, which ensures that no established calls
are lost in a switchover from active to standby mode. (H.323 calls are an exception, because of their TCP
nature.) The active Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch processes all calls.
Cisco Broadband Local Integrated Services Solution-ETTX 1.0 Overview and Planning Guide
2-4 OL-3348-01
Chapter 2 Solution Components
The Call Agent: Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch
Each access device performs DNS lookup to locate the IP address of both the primary Cisco BTS 10200
Softswitch and the standby; default DNS lookup points to the active Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch.
During normal conditions, all access devices communicate with the active BTS. If the active Cisco BTS
10200 Softswitch fails, the standby becomes active.
The active and standby call agents exchange periodic keepalive timers called KAM/RDM to detect any
failure scenarios. If a failure scenario is detected, the standby call agent takes over and becomes active.
Other Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch elements, feature servers, and EMS are also deployed in
active/standby configurations, with real-time synchronization of data between the active and the standby
elements.
Note No traffic load sharing between the active and the standby call agents is done. The active Cisco BTS
10200 Softswitch performs all call processing and the standby is idle.
MGCP Support
The solution uses Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) 1.0 to communicate between the
Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch and the media gateways, such as the Cisco ATA 18x, Cisco IAD 2421, and
analog Cisco 2611XM or Cisco 2621XM routers. The Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch is responsible for
providing interworking between these MGCP CPEs and H.323 gateways for PSTN hop-off (MGCP to
and from H.323) and between MGCP CPEs and the IP Unity voice-mail server (MGCP-SIP) for access
to voice mail recording and retrieval.
SIP Support
The solution uses Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to communicate between the Cisco BTS 10200
Softswitch and the voice-mail server. The Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch is responsible for providing SIP
interworking with MGCP CPEs (SIP-MGCP) and H.323 gateways (SIP-H.323) to provide access to
voice mail recording and retrieval.
The SIP protocol is defined in RFC 2543.
H.323 Support
H.323 Signaling support on the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch is based on H.323 protocol stack ported
from Cisco IOS gateways. To the H.323 network, the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch looks like a gateway
controlled by an H.323 gatekeeper. The Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch H.323 stack is designed to allow
Cisco Broadband Local Integrated Services Solution-ETTX 1.0 Overview and Planning Guide

Chapter 2 Solution Components
The Call Agent: Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch
the creation of up to four separate H.323 gateway interfaces. Each interface has the ability to register
with different gatekeepers or the same one. This architecture allows for the ability to load balance
between the H.323 gateways to provide better scalability and resiliency.

Ethernet/IP Infrastructure
Ethernet/IP Infrastructure
The Ethernet/IP infrastructure connects the subscriber, through an access layer switch aggregating CPE
devices, with the VoIP network in the service provider POP (through an aggregating router). Specific
components in this infrastructure depend on your requirements.
Media Servers
The solution supports an announcement server, the Cognitronics CX500, and a voice-mail server such
as the IP Unity server.
Note The Cognitronics CX500 announcement server is a third-party server, and is not sold or supported by
Cisco.
The Cognitronics CX500 announcement server provides the following key features:
• NEBS compliant
• Two rack units high (3.5 x 17 x 12 inch)
• Single power supply
• UltraSPARC single board design running Solaris 2.6
• Supports N+1 redundancy
• Supports vacant code (changed number) announcement
• CLI based user interface for management and provisioning
• Supports MGCP 1.0

Chapter 2 Solution Components
H.323 Gatekeepers
• Dynamic announcements
• 200 message function types per vocabulary, 10,000 voice files, and up to 8 vocabularies
The announcements are stored as Wave (.WAV) files. G.711 A law compression is supported.
The CX500 can be located at a SuperPOP or at a remote POP. The MGCP call control interactions are
via MGCP 1.0. The server is connected to the network via a Fast Ethernet connection.
For load sharing and redundancy, two CX500 servers are deployed in load-sharing mode. If one platform
fails, the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch uses the other platform.
The announcement server recognizes a primary and secondary BTS call agent. The server gets a list of
BTS call agents from the DNS lookup, and uses the secondary call agent if the primary one goes down.
For more information on the Cognitronics CX500 announcement server, refer to the following URL:
http://www.cognitronics.com/products/cx500.html
Cognitronics vendor information is at http://www.cognitronics.com/.
Voice-mail Servers
The solution includes one or more voice-mail servers, such as an IP Unity server, to provide voice mail
capabilities. The voice-mail servers are located in the service provider POP, with an IP connection to the
Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch. The number of servers required depends on the number of voice mail
subscribers you expect to serve and the voice mail characteristics they require.
The solution supports the following voice-mail protocols:
• Ethernet interface, used for all signaling and bearer traffic
• SIP, the protocol used (over IP) between the call agent and the voice-mail server to set up and tear
down calls
• Codec support for G.711 for message recording and playout
H.323 Gatekeepers
The H.323 gatekeepers provide registration services and load-balancing functions for the H.323 gateway
endpoints of the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch. The gatekeeper handles call processing requests from
H.323 gateways by identifying and routing the call to the appropriate destination. The gatekeeper is
scalable to handle registration services for up to 1000 gateways and is capable of handling up to 50 calls
per second.
Before an H.323 gateway on the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch can originate or terminate calls through
an H.323 gatekeeper, it must first discover and register with a gatekeeper. When an H.323 gateway
wishes to discover H.323 gatekeepers in the network, a GRQ message is sent out over the IP network. If
a gatekeeper receives a GRQ, it replies with a GCF for a confirmation or a GRJ for a rejection to the
GRQ. The H.323 gateway chooses the gatekeeper with the highest priority, H323_GW2GK.PRIORITY,
as its primary gatekeeper and the others (can have up to two total configured) will be designated as
alternates. If the gatekeeper sends back a list of alternate gatekeepers, these will be added to the list. This
allows for dynamic introduction and configuration of primary and alternate gatekeepers in the network
that H.323 gateways can communicate with.
Alternatively, the H.323 gateway can be statically configured with the IP addresses of the secondary or
alternate gatekeepers it can communicate with. Gatekeeper discovery can be accomplished either
through multicast or unicast mode. In multicast mode, the GRQ message from the H.323 gateway is
Cisco Broadband Local Integrated Services Solution-ETTX 1.0 Overview and Planning Guide
2-12 OL-3348-01
Chapter 2 Solution Components
PSTN Interface
multicast out on the well-known transport address (addr: 224.0.1.41 port: 1718) and the gatekeeper ID
is not specified, then any gatekeeper may respond to the request with a GCF if all the authorization and
admission checks pass. In unicast mode, the gatekeeper ID, address and port number will be specified in
the GRO message.
Once the H.323 gateway discovers the gatekeeper, it needs to register with it and uses an RRQ message
to request permission to register with a gatekeeper. The gatekeeper in turn will respond with an RCF for
confirmation of the registration request or it will send back an RRJ for a rejection. There are two flavors
of RRQ messages, heavyweight and lightweight. Heavyweight registration will be used on the initial
registration with the gatekeeper. Lightweight registration is used to report to the gatekeeper so that the
gatekeeper will not deregister the endpoint. In this solution, all the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch gateway
interfaces register to dedicated gatekeepers to ensure proper scalability and capacity.
For most implementations, we recommend using a cluster of gatekeepers. For small deployments, two
gatekeepers can be used, a primary and an alternate. The alternate can be statically configured on the
gateway. During the gateway's full registration with the primary gatekeeper, a Time-to-Live (TTL) timer
value (default is 60 seconds) is returned to the gateways. The gateways use the TTL minus 15 seconds
as the lightweight registration interval. If the gatekeeper does not respond to the gateway's lightweight
registration during this interval, the gateway will retry three times. If there is still no response, the
gateway will register to the alternate gatekeeper.
To enhance system availability, the gatekeeper can optimally be configured to use the Sequential Unicast
LRQ feature. With Sequential LRQs, each LRQ is sent staggered by a user-defined time interval between
0.1 to 1 second. The first LRQ is given a chance to succeed. If the gatekeeper receives an LRJ or the
defined timer interval expires, the second LRQ is sent.
In this solution, the recommended gatekeeper is the Cisco 7200 router running the gatekeeper image.
The Cisco 2611 router or, in small deployments, the Cisco 3660 router, may also be used.
PSTN Interface
Connection to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) is through an H.323 trunking gateway that
may be part of your network or part of another vendor's network (the Wholesale VoIP provider).
Trunking Gateway
The H.323 trunking gateway is an optional component used as an interface to the PSTN at the signaling
level, through SS7 ISUP, ISDN PRI or R2, and at the bearer level, by converting IP packets into TDM
digital signals.
The H.323 gateway registers with a gatekeeper. The gateways may be part of the network or they may
be part of another vendor network under a wholesale relationship. H.323 gateways are part of the Cisco
Voice Infrastructure and Applications (VIA) transport solution. For more information on Cisco VIA and
its gateways, please refer to the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/netsol/ns110/ns163/ns166/ns68/networking_solutions_package.html
For more information on SS7, refer to the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/sc/rel9/soln/voip20/index.htm.
In this solution, the Cisco AS5xxx series (Cisco AS5350, AS5400, AS5850) universal access servers may
be used as H.323 trunking gateways.

• Option 1: Voice only
• Option 2: Voice and data, small-scale residential or SOHO users
• Option 3: Voice and data, larger-scale residential or SOHO users
• Option 4: Voice and data, small business
• Option 5: Voice and optionally data, small business with PBX or KTS
For voice and data connectivity, subscribers are assumed to have single Ethernet Category 3 (up to 10
Mbps) or Category 5 (up to 100 Mbps) cables prewired into their residential units. For future upgrades
or evolution, Cisco recommends using Category 5 cables.
Note The Cisco ATA 186 lacks a data port and thus is suitable only for subscribers who require voice-only
services without data. If integrated voice and data are required, use the Cisco ATA 188.

Caution It is technically possible for the subscriber to install an Ethernet hub between the Cisco ATA 186 and the
uplink cable to allow both voice and data to run on the same VLAN, but this should not be done. Using
a hub places voice and data traffic in the same collision domain and risks degrading voice quality when
large data packets are transmitted or received.

Option 3: Voice and Data, Larger-Scale Residential or SOHO Users, Cisco IAD 2421
Because the Cisco ATA 188 provides a 10/100 Mbps uplink, it supports auto speed and simplex/duplex
negotiation not supported by the standard Ethernet uplink on the Cisco ATA 186. It is desirable for the
floor aggregation switch to also support Fast Ethernet.

Wiring Plan When Using the Cisco IAD 2421 with Voice and Data Customers
If you use the Cisco IAD 2421 as the media gateway for customers requiring voice and data, the customer
LAN can be connected directly to the Cisco Catalyst 2950 switch. The following sections describe the
wiring necessary for this configuration.
• Wiring for One or Two POTS Lines per Unit
• Wiring for More POTS Lines per Unit
Place the Cisco IAD 2421 in a secure wiring closet, either on the building floor or in the customer unit,
depending on the number of Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) lines the customer unit requires.

In the wiring closet on each floor, all Category 3 or 5 cables from the units are connected to standard
110 punch-down blocks with RJ-45 connectors. The data wires (1, 2, 3, 6) are separated from the POTS
wires (4, 5, 7, 8) in this configuration:
• For packet voice, the POTS wires are crosswired to an RJ-21 connector attached to the 110
punch-down block, which in turn is connected with a standard 50-wire TELCO cable to the Cisco
IAD 2421.
• For data connectivity, the Ethernet wires of the cable are crosswired to another RJ-45 jack on the
same punch-down block, which in turn is connected with another Category 5 cable to a Fast Ethernet
switch.
Because of the size of the standard 110 punch-down block and the Cisco IAD 2421 16-POTS line
capacity, each block can connect up to:
• Four RJ-45 jacks for incoming cables from dwelling/tenant units
• Four outgoing RJ-45 jacks for cables to a Fast Ethernet switch
• One RJ-21 connector for a single 50-wire TELCO cable to a Cisco IAD 2421
See Figure 3-6.

Assuming that the Cisco IAD 2421 with 16 Foreign Exchange Stations (FXS) is used and each unit
requires only a single POTS line, 16 POTS lines from the Cisco IAD 2421 can support up to four 110
punch-down blocks, one of which terminates the RJ-21 TELCO cable from the Cisco IAD 2421. The
POTS lines on the other three 110 punch-down blocks are crosswired to the 110 punch-down block with
the RJ-21 connector.
For the uplink in the wiring closet on each floor, the Cisco IAD 2421 is connected to the Fast Ethernet
switch through its Ethernet port. If the service provider requires voice and data to run on separate
VLANs, configure the data ports connected to the 110 punch-down blocks and the voice port connected
to the Cisco IAD 2421 with separate VLAN IDs. Traffic of both types is sent uplink via a VLAN trunk.
Finally, a separate Fast Ethernet switch is installed in the basement to aggregate VLAN trunks from Fast
Ethernet switches.

For LAN and Internet connectivity, the customer unit requires a separate Category 5 cable (the
Cisco IAD 2421 single Ethernet interface is used for VoIP).
In the wiring closet on each floor, separate voice and data cables are connected to a LAN switch, which
provides an uplink to the next-hop Fast Ethernet switch in the basement.
This option saves the cost of splitters and 110 punch-down blocks. The customer should ensure that their
wiring closet is locked and secure.
Note It is technically possible for the customer to install an Ethernet hub between the Cisco IAD 2421 and the
uplink cable to allow both voice and data to run on the same VLAN, but this should not be done. Using
a hub places voice and data traffic in the same collision domain and risks degrading voice quality when
large data packets are transmitted or received.

Solution Features
Fast Connect
The Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch always sends an H.225.0 Setup message with the Fast Connect element
to the terminating H.323 endpoint. One of the following two scenarios can occur:
• If the terminating endpoint replies with the Fast Connect element, the call is set up using the Fast
Connect procedure.
• If the terminating endpoint does not reply with the Fast Connect element up to and including the
H.225.0 Connect message, the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch falls back to using H.245 procedures
for media capability exchange.
Cisco Broadband Local Integrated Services Solution-ETTX 1.0 Overview and Planning Guide
OL-3348-01 4-1
Chapter 4 Solution Features
H.323 Features Supported by the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch
When the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch acts as the terminating H.323 endpoint by receiving an H.225.0
Setup message, it decides whether to use the Fast Connect or Slow Connect procedures depending on
whether there is a Fast Start element in the incoming Setup. One of the following two scenarios can
occur:
• If the Fast Start element exists, the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch returns it in the Alerting message,
which contains its media capabilities based on the session description protocol (SDP) from the
MGCP media gateway. Note that the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch never sends any Call Proceeding
message.
• If there is no Fast Start element in the incoming Setup message, the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch
assumes that the media capability exchange between the two endpoints is done using H.245
procedures.
H.323 Tandeming
The Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch supports an incoming H.323 call routed to an outgoing H.323 trunk
group. This mechanism is also known as H.323 hairpin. This could happen with call forwarding, for
instance, such as an H.323 off-net call to an on-net subscriber who has forwarded calls back to the H.323
network.
RAS Signaling
The Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch supports Registration, Admission, and Status Protocol (RAS)
messages:
• GRQ/GCF/GRJ for gatekeeper discovery. The Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch supports both unicast
and multicast addresses in GRQ.
• RRQ/RCF/RRJ for gatekeeper registration. The Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch supports both static
gatekeeper lists provisioned by the CLI and a dynamic alternate gatekeeper list received in RCF and
RRJ, which overrides the static dynamic gatekeeper list.
• Information Request Response (IRR) for Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch gateway status reporting to
the gatekeeper.
• Resource Availability Indicator (RAI) for resource availability to the gatekeeper. A static
Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch CLI, MAX_VOIP, defined in table Trunk Group is used to define the
watermark.
• Bandwidth Request (BRQ) for bandwidth reporting to the gatekeeper.
• Restart In Progress (RIP) for the gatekeeper to inform the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch gateway
about address translation being in progress.

Supplementary Services
H.225.0 Signaling
The Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch supports the following H.225.0 functions in addition to the basic
signaling:
• Call Redirection based on the canMapAlias field parameter in the ARQ
• Proprietary Octet 3a for calling number delivery
• Configurable proprietary TCP Connection Timer for outgoing H.225.0 connections
• Call signaling channel multiplexing
• Interworking of MGCP and H.225.0 messages
H.245 Signaling
The Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch supports the following H.245 functions, in addition to the basic
signaling:
• Send and receive Empty Capability Set for Call Forwarding and H.323 IP IVR applications
• Interworking of MGCP SDP and H.245 Logical Channel Information
DTMF Relay
In dual-tone multifrequency (DTMF) relay, a local VoIP gateway listens for DTMF digits (during a call)
and then sends them uncompressed as either RTP or H.245 packets to the remote VoIP gateway, which
regenerates DTMF digits and prevents digit loss due to compression.
In MGCP-H.323 calls, the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch supports the following DTMF relay
interworking options:
• Out-of-band with NTFY/RQNT in MGCP and H.245 Alphanumeric
• RFC 2833 in MGCP and H.323 (requires 12.2(11) T for H.323)
In MGCP-H.323 calls, the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch supports the following DTMF relay
interworking options:
• Out-of-band with NTFY/RQNT in MGCP and H.245 Alphanumeric
• RFC 2833 in MGCP and H.323 (requires 12.2(11) T for H.323)
In MGCP-SIP calls (subscriber to VM), the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch supports the RFC 2833 DTMF
relay interworking options in MGCP and SIP.
Supplementary Services
The solution supports the most commonly used supplementary services. All features can be activated
and deactivated with predefined access codes or vertical service codes (VSCs). Some can also be
interrogated with a VSC to identify whether a service has been activated or not.
These supplementary services are supported:
• Anonymous call rejection (ACR)
• Call forwarding busy (CFB)

Bearer Features
Bearer Features
The solution supports the following bearer features:
• Codec support
• Call progress tones
• Fax pass-through
These features are explained in further detail in the following sections.
Codec Support
In this solution, the Cisco ATA 18x and Cisco IAD 2421 support G.711 A-law and µ-law, which is also
supported by existing gateways in the H.323 long-distance network. The Cognitronics announcement
server and IP Unity voice-mail server also support these codec types to exchange RTP with an H.323 or
MGCP gateway. To reach an agreement on what codec type is to be used in a given call, the gateways
perform codec negotiation during call setup.
In an MGCP-MGCP call, codec negotiation involves these procedures:
1. The Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch can be preconfigured with preferred codec types for given
customer premise equipment (CPE).
Cisco Broadband Local Integrated Services Solution-ETTX 1.0 Overview and Planning Guide
4-4 OL-3348-01
Chapter 4 Solution Features
Bearer Features
2. When a call is actually being set up, the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch indicates its preferences in the
LCO parameter when sending MGCP CRCX to the first CPE.
3. The first CPE builds the intersection list of the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch preferred codec types
and supported codec types in the order of highest preference to lowest. The list is returned in the
media description parameter within the SDP of MGCP response to CRCX.
4. The Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch copies the whole SDP field, without modification, into the MGCP
CRCX that is destined to the terminating CPE. The Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch may also indicate
its own preferences in the LCO.
5. The second CPE builds the intersection list of the received preferred codec types and supported
codec types in the order of highest preference to lowest. As a result, the terminating gateway chooses
the common codec with the highest preference.
RTP packetization period and voice activity detection (VAD) negotiation can be selected at call setup.
Both MGCP and H.323 gateways do not explicitly advertise support of packetization and VAD. RTP
packetization and VAD may be implicit with some codecs, and then are included as part of the codec
negotiation, but it is also possible to have different VAD or packetization settings on each side of the
connection.
In the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch, VAD support for a MGCP gateway is configurable.
In an MGCP-H.323 call, Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch Release 3.2 does not propagate supported codec
capability of an MGCP endpoint to an H.323 endpoint and vice versa. Instead, the Cisco BTS 10200
Softswitch must have the supported codec type of the MGCP endpoint provisioned in its QoS table, and
use it for codec negotiation with the remote H.323 gateway on behalf of the MGCP endpoint. For this
reason, the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch codec configuration must match codec configuration at the
MGCP endpoints.

Announcement Server Features
Fax Pass-Through
To transmit fax reliably across a data network, this solution supports Cisco proprietary fax pass-through.
Fax pass-through sends a fax transmission using high-quality voice codecs such as G.711 across the VoIP
network (see Figure 4-1). The switching method from a voice call to fax pass-through is Cisco
proprietary. There is no negotiation for fax pass-through in H.323 voice protocol. To use this feature,
therefore, all gateways in both H.323 and MGCP must support fax pass-through.
VoIP
V V
Fax Passthru
Established
82741
Once the voice path is established between both the originating and terminating fax machines, a fax tone
is sent (2100 Hz tone), generally by the terminating fax machine. When the terminating gateway detects
this tone, its DSP sends a Cisco Named Signaling Event (NSE) 192 to the DSP of the originating
gateway. The NSE is notification for upspeeding from the original negotiated audio codec, if not G.711
already, to G.711. NSEs are RTP packets with payload type value equal to 100 (configurable). In
addition, NSE 192 will cause VAD, Echo Cancellation and high pass filters turned off on the DSPs (and
even an increase in the dejitter buffers on some gateways to increase the tolerance to transport jitter).
Echo Cancellation is turned back on—if it was enabled previously—if a V.21 fax preamble is detected.
Then, both gateways can begin to exchange standard T.4 and T.30 fax signals for fax transmission. Upon
completion of the fax call, both gateways will stay at G.711 codec and will not down speed to the original
negotiated audio codec. Regardless of H.323 or MGCP, fax pass-through does not require any capability
negotiation during the call setup stage. The call control of both gateways is not involved in fax
pass-through because all the steps are done at the DSP level (MGCP gateways may report an mt or ft
event if instructed to do so).

Softswitch and the voice-mail server. The Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch is responsible for providing SIP
interworking with MGCP CPEs (SIP-MGCP) and H.323 gateways (SIP-H.323) to provide access to
voice-mail recording and retrieval.
Codec Support
The voice-mail server provides codec support for G.711 for both message recording and playout. The

Chapter 5 Redundancy and Fault Tolerance
Service Provider POP Redundant Network Design
The objective of this design is to provide continuous network connectivity if there is a single failure
caused by a network element in the POP. Each network element is equipped with two Fast Ethernet
interfaces connected to the POP. As a result, each cluster connects to a redundant pair of Cisco Catalyst
6509 switches over two redundant VLANs, one being active and the other being standby, to transport
voice signaling traffic (H.323, MGCP, and EG323) or RTP traffic.
Note The Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch has a third VLAN for Telnet traffic and multiple internal VLANs
within its cluster for intra-CA/FS/EMS traffic, which is not connected to the Catalyst 6509.
The virtual H.323 gateways of the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch are still registered at the gatekeeper
cluster. This is to ensure that if a physical interface on one of the gatekeepers fails, the gateways are still
registered to the IP addresses of the loopback interfaces on the gatekeepers instead of those of the
physical interfaces. Using an advanced routing protocol in the POP, such as OSPF or EIGRP, is a
requirement for fast failure recovery.
The Cisco Catalyst 6509 switches connect to each other with ISL for redundancy. The switched also
connect to a pair of border routers such as a Cisco 7500 or GSR 12000, with a redundant pair of Gigabit
Ethernet links for communication with the MGCP CPEs and H.323 network.

Sample Network and Configurations
The sample configurations provided in this chapter are for a network similar to that shown in Figure 6-1.
Each supported type of customer premise equipment (CPE) configuration is illustrated, including:
• A building where Cisco ATA 188 analog telephone adaptors are used as the media gateway,
connecting to a basement Cisco LAN switch into the Metro Ethernet infrastructure to the local voice
network.
The illustration shows the Cisco ATA 188 used only for voice, but it can also be used for data by
connecting the subscriber's PC or LAN to the second Ethernet port of the Cisco ATA 188.
• A building where Cisco IAD 2421 integrated access devices are used as the media gateway, also
connecting to a basement Cisco LAN switch.
In this case, because the Cisco IAD 2421 has voice ports only, subscribers' PC data connections are
routed directly to the Ethernet port on the basement LAN switch.
• A building where a key telephone system (KTS) or PBX connects to a Cisco 2611XM analog router,
serving as the media gateway and connecting directly to the Metro Ethernet infrastructure and the
local voice network.
The illustration shows the Cisco 2611XM router used only for voice, but it also may be used for data
by connecting the subscriber’s LAN to the second Fast Ethernet port of the router.
In the local voice network are the call agent, the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch, an announcement server
(in this example, a Cisco AS5300 universal access server), and a gatekeeper (a Cisco 2611XM router)
connecting to the H.323 network, which can be used for local PSTN termination or as a voice distance
network. This gatekeeper is dedicated to the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch for registration and call
admission.
There are two additional gatekeepers in the H.323 network:
• A Cisco 2601 router provides registration and call admission for the H.323 gateway (a Cisco
AS5xx0) to the PSTN.
• A Cisco 2602 router serves as a directory gatekeeper exchanging call routing information via
Location Request (LRQ) and Location Confirm (LCF) messages of H.225.0 registration, admission
and status (RAS) signaling between the first gatekeeper and the gatekeeper dedicated to the
Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch.
Note In your implementation, for best performance we recommend using the Cisco 7200 router or the Cisco
3660 router as gatekeepers.

Design Limitations
This chapter describes the design limitations for the Cisco Broadband Local Integrated Services
Solution-ETTX solution.
Feature Limitations
The solution has the following feature limitations:
• T.38 fax relay
T.38 fax relay is only available between two Cisco IOS Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP)
endpoints (for example, a Cisco IAD 2421 and an analog Cisco 2600). Fax over IP in other endpoint
combinations is completed by using pass-through.
• Billing interoperability
The call agent produces a different format of call detail records (CDRs) than those common in Cisco
H.323 transit solutions. As a result, you may need special arrangements to interconnect with IP
transit networks and ensure billing interoperability.
• Voice mail, MGCP and H.323
Voice mail is only accessible from MGCP endpoints in this release, not from H.323 endpoints.
Supported Features
• G.711 A-law and U-law codecs
In this release, only G.711 A-law and U-law codecs are supported.
• Modem over IP
Modem over IP is supported only in pass-through mode for all the Cisco IOS H.323 and MGCP
platforms.
Note The Cisco ATA 18x does not support modem pass-through.
Cisco Broadband Local Integrated Services Solution-ETTX 1.0 Overview and Planning Guide
OL-3348-01 7-1
Chapter 7 Design Limitations
Subscriber Features Requiring ANI
• SIP
SIP is not supported in this release for any use beyond interfacing to the voice messaging system.
• E1 and DSL links
E1 and DSL links are not supported on the Cisco IAD 2421 in this release—only Ethernet uplinks
are supported.
NAT/PAT Translation
To use private IP space in the network, consider the simultaneous calls that must be supported in
interfaces to other networks. For capacities, refer to the latest information on Cisco NAT/PAT translation
boxes like the Cisco 7200 with the NPE-400 Network Processor Engine.
Also consider which voice protocols can successfully pass through existing NAT boxes. At the time the
Release 1.0 documentation was written, NAT was only supported in H.323, but not in MGCP.
Firewalls
Scaling is an issue for firewalls. You must carefully calculate how much traffic will pass through a given
firewall, because scalability is more limited in this area.
Also be aware of which voice protocols can successfully pass through existing firewall boxes. For
example, a Cisco voice-aware firewall supports some H.323 transparency, but not MGCP.
Failover Limitations
If the call agent experiences a failover from active to standby, there is no call preservation on active calls
in which H.323 is at least one of the call legs. Only calls with MGCP on both call legs are preserved.
Any call not in a stable state (that is, a call in progress and not yet “connected”) also fails during a
failover.

Solution Network Management
Table 8-1 summarizes the solution network management fault, configuration, accounting, performance,
and security (FCAPS) components that are described in more detail in the following sections.
Fault Management
Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch Release 3.2—The Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch is a distributed switch
controller designed to provide the major functions performed by traditional class 4 and class 5 switching
systems. The Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch includes an integrated element management system (EMS)
for FCAPS management.
Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch EMS provides an SNMP agent to forward its events and alarms to an
external Fault Management System, such as Cisco Information Center (CIC).
Cisco Networking Services (CNS) Notification Engine (C-NOTE) Release 2.0—C-NOTE processes
event entries in IOS SYSLOG file and converts selected entries to alarms, which are reported to a Fault
Management System such as the CIC or Hewlett-Packard OpenView. Delivery of events and alarms to
external system may be SNMP traps, or over CNS bus.
Cisco Broadband Local Integrated Services Solution-ETTX 1.0 Overview and Planning Guide
OL-3348-01 8-1
Chapter 8 Solution Network Management
Configuration and Provisioning
C-NOTE collects SYSLOG files from the Cisco IAD 2421, 26xx, and 7200, and then:
• Parses all IOS SYSLOG messages, alleviating the need for the operator to understand complicated
and inconsistent message structure
• Converts the parsed data from SYSLOG messages into structured, detailed SNMP traps, which
reduces reaction time
• Delivers traps in a reliable manner
• Preprocesses and filters SYSLOG messages prior to trap generation
• Reduces number of traps generated by ~ 90%
• Categorizes SYSLOG messages and traps
• Provides consistent handling of SYSLOG messages and consistent northbound interface across
Cisco IOS
For more information on C-NOTE, refer to the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/rtrmgmt/cns_note/rel_2_0/index.htm
Cisco Information Center Release 3.4.1—CIC is a service-level alarm monitoring and diagnostics tool
that provides network fault and performance monitoring, network trouble isolation, and real-time,
service-level management for large networks. CIC is designed to help operators focus on important
network events, offering a combination of alarm processing rules, filtering, customizable alarm viewing,
and partitioning. CIC provides a highly configurable client/server application that can consolidate,
de-duplicate, filter, and correlate fault information from multitechnology, multivendor network and
management platforms.
Because this solution is a voice network that overlays an existing core and access network, operational
procedures for management of this network are limited. Fault management is limited to fault detection
only. Operational procedures for troubleshooting are dependent on customer network and operation
processes and organization. Use of CIC applications to automate procedures will be evaluated after
operational procedures are defined and tested in specific customer environments.
CIC supports both SNMP and CNS bus interface for receiving events and alarms from managed
elements.

Configuration and Provisioning
CNR also offers multithreaded, high-performance TFTP, which can be used to store ATA configuration
files.
For more information, refer to the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/rtrmgmt/ciscoasu/nr/nr55/index.htm.
Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch Release 3.2—The Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch includes an integrated
EMS for managing FCAPS, and a published API interface. External management systems can obtain
programmable access to the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch through its defined CORBA interface to
deliver provisioning data or query against the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch for configuration or
subscriber data. XML over CORBA is also supported by the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch.
For more information on the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch, refer to the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/bts10200/bts3_2/index.htm
Extensible Provisioning and Operations Manager (EPOM) Release 1.1—The Extensible
Provisioning and Operations Manager (EPOM) is a web-based application for real-time provisioning of
the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch. EPOM allows authorized users to carry out the following provisioning
tasks:
• Show, add, modify, and delete subscriber services
• Show the status of components and place them in or out of service
Provisioning tasks in EPOM generally match tasks done using the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch CLI or
MAC interface, but are accomplished through a web-browser interface. Common multistep procedures
are simplified by being grouped together into tasks executed with task wizards.
Authorized EPOM administrators set up and manage the EPOM server software and perform EPOM user
administration and network setup tasks:
• Set up the network initially
• Show, add, modify, and delete Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch devices
• Show, add, modify, and delete media gateways such as the Cisco IAD 2421 and Cisco 2611XM or
Cisco 2621XM router
• Add, modify, and delete users, user groups, and domains
For more information on EPOM, refer to the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/bts10200/bts3_2/epom_fm.htm
Broadband Access Center for Convergent Network Subscriber Provisioning (BAC) Release
2.5—BAC provides data-driven provisioning services that allow the creation of flexible, customizable
service, provisioning, and task profiles. In this solution, BAC is used to provision Cisco IOS-based CPE.
Provisioning features include incrementally adding, modifying, or deleting services based on customer
subscriber device needs and custom configuration of CPE and aggregation devices using templates.
BAC also enables full network service life-cycle management, starting with the creation of new service
offerings, and customization of the provision flow for activating, modifying, or deleting such service
offerings. BAC system provides an OSS interface for flow-through service provisioning, and a GUI for
standalone operation.
BAC includes a CORBA northbound interface for integration with other systems.
For more information on BAC , refer to the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/rtrmgmt/ccnsc_sp/2_0/index.htm
Cisco Broadband Local Integrated Services Solution-ETTX 1.0 Overview and Planning Guide
OL-3348-01 8-3
Chapter 8 Solution Network Management
Accounting
Accounting
The Cisco BTS 10200 EMS is responsible for collecting and generating accounting data for voice
services. Voice service accounting data are presented as Call Detail Records (CDRs), which are sent to
third-party mediation system for transformation to a record format expected by the Service Provider’s
billing system. The external billing system is responsible for rating and generating invoices for billing.
This solution does not include any external mediation or billing systems.
On-net calls include any combination of calls between the local voice network subscribers. Billing for
on-net calls is processed based on Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch CDR records.
Since the solution has only one Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch, a call to or from a device managed by a
second Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch is considered an off-net call.
For on-net to off-net local calls, there are two routing methods supported in the solution:
• Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch routes calls to FT H.323 network to PSTN. N.B. The H.323 network
consists of gatekeeper and the gateway with PRI or R2 connection to PSTN. Settlement with PSTN
service provider may be required.
For on-net to off-net long distance calls, there are two routing methods supported by the solution:
• The Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch routes calls to the H.323 network to PSTN, which then routes call
through an IXC service provider. In this case, settlement occurs between the local voice network
service provider and the IXC service provider.
