Chapter 1
Overview
In this chapter, you will learn about:

The development of NGN products.
IP networks will become infrastructure for the next generation network

(NGN) due to rapid development. The NGN system features following
remarkable distinctions than PSTN:
The PSTN networking and services are not transparent. The PSTN
services are transported in segments over physical networks. The
PSTN is constructed in a leveled networking mode in terms of services
and structure. Since the Internet is virtual, any two points within the
Internet can have peer-to-peer communications. As a result, the
service deployment and physical construction on the IP network are
transparent. The NGN is a kind of application on the IP network, so it is
a virtual stepless network.
The PSTN switch is comprehensive and integrates access, control,
transmission and other functions; the switch thus is complicated and
high in cost. The NGN network equipment separates access, control
and transmission functions.
Firstly, the transmission in the NGN is carried by IP base networks.
Secondly, since the complexity of communication technologies between
devices and networking is reduced in the IP network, separation of
subscriber access from control becomes possible.
Control functions independent of access equipment enables one single
control point controlling a larger network than a PSTN CO office. This
facilitates service provisioning and central management. In the NGN,
control functions are implemented by Soft Switch (SS).
The PSTN implements subscriber access at central offices (CO) . The
CO features the following advantages:
Forming a large scale operation with a certain convergence ratio
between switching resources and subscribers.
Minimizing PSTN layers.
Simplifying management in a centralized way and providing quality
services for subscribers in a central and uniform way (within one same
exchange).
Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 15

NGN network equipment can implement function separation of access,

control and transmission; access equipment is more flexible in
structure and richer in functions; access is closer to subscribers and
decentralized in space.
MG (Media Gateway) can be functionally divided into many types like TG
and AG for fitting NGN architecture better. The new NGN-based AG is to
be open subscriber access equipment that meets most of required
subscriber capacities; AG is rich in more flexible subscriber access
measures and features high concentration and compact structure.
China telecom industry has launched a variety of networks that are

running at the same time after years development, including traditional
circuit-switching networks and new packet-switching transmission
networks, like PSTN, DDN, ATM and IP networks. The wide coverage of the
telecom access networks results in huge investment, and the bases of
different networks lead to high network maintenance cost and operation
cost. This aggravates the devotion of operators in improving
competitiveness. The end users are no longer satisfied with the traditional
telephony, fax and low-speed data services. They become more and more
dependent on high-speed Internet access, video telephone, VOD and other
broadband services. How to select a proper integrated service access
network to meet the local development demands increasingly becomes the
focus concerned with the major operators.
On the basis of the existing PSTN, DDN, ATM and IP backbone

transmission networks, integrated access at the access layer will prevent
repeated network construction, save equipment investment and facilitate
operators’ uniform management of equipment and services. Meanwhile, it
implements complete integration with the SDH/MSTP/IP base bearer
networks, and fully implements the narrowband voice, data access at
various speeds, xDSL/LAN and other broadband access at the subscriber
side. The diverse subscriber demands are met, and personalized services
can be provided according to the telecom operators, service demands and
subscriber groups. It will become a real narrowband/broadband integrated
access solution that majors in voice services and is smoothly compatible
with data services and broadband services for the operators.
NGN technologies have initiated a strong tornado around the world in the
last year. Most operators have carried out related technical trials. The
traditional circuit-switching-cored PSTN provides subscribers with end-to-
end voice services. The development of data communication technologies
brings forth a new service platform that makes it possible to bear all kinds
of services on one single data network. In contrast to the traditional
network, the NGN has the following characteristics: Open architecture and
standard interfaces; services separate from calls and calls separate from
media; network division of service layer, control layer, network layer and
access layer; SoftSwitch-cored control layer for service control and
management; IP protocol in network layer for integrating services;
diversified broadband seamless access at access layer.
Access networks in the coming era will be based on numerous existing

network resources. It is necessary to provide access equipments of
integrated service access capabilities for the users to protect their
investment and develop the access network. Currently, the concept of
16 Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

Chapter 1 - Overview
integrated access network attracts attentions from both operators and

manufacturers. The fact most manufacturers are launching related
equipment implies that the integrated media access equipment will
become the next hotspot of access network.


Chapter 2
System Architecture

System architecture and features.
System Overview
System Background
In the growth of telecom services, traditional telephony services and data
services are integrated into a uniform network, which is called the next
generation network (NGN). The NGN has passed the three stages of
laboratory, marketing promotion and scale applications. Thanks to efforts
of various manufacturers and operators, Softswitch is becoming
increasingly mature, functionally more diversified, more stable in
performance and more standardized, thus bringing Softswitch to the
market.
As an integrated network, the NGN has an open network architecture that

can provide voice, data and multimedia services. The transport layer of
the network is a packet network based on uniform protocols. The access
equipment of the network provides a wide variety of access measures for
subscribers. It converts different subscriber services into a uniform format
that can be transmitted in the network. In the NGN, the access equipment
is called a media access gateway (AG). The AG plays a critical role in the
NGN. With the most construction efforts and direct touch of subscribers, it
is the “antenna” of NGN.
The development of the NGN is not actually abrupt or revolutionary, but

an evolving process. During the evolution from the PSTN to the NGN, it is
important to maximize the protection of operators’ early investment,
including the construction of twisted pair resources and the subscriber
interface resources in end offices. Despite an innovative technology, the
NGN has no innovations in the access mode for subscribers. As a result, it
is required to consider a smooth evolution in planning the transition from
telecom network to NGN, for both the telecom operators and the
equipment manufacturers. The NGN can be used in the planning where a

telecom network is newly constructed. When the NGN becomes completely

mature, the old PSTN can be cut over into the new NGN at minimum cost.
In such a context, the emergence and development of the ZXMSG 5200

system meet the following requirements:
NGN AG requirements, guaranteeing a leading market position in the

AG field.
Requirements for upgrading MSAN equipment in the PSTN into AG at
low costs
Applicable Standards
The ZXMSG 5200 belongs to the integrated media access gateways,
following YD 1243.3-2002 Integrated Access Media Gateway Technical
Specifications. The Integrated Access Media Gateway provides abundant
service access for various subscribers, such as analog subscriber access,
ISDN access, V5 access, XDSL access and LAN access. It also can access
to IP network or ATM network.
Main Functions
The ZXMSG 5200 can get analog POTS-interface subscribers access to IP
networks directly and implement voice/fax conversion at the analog
subscriber side and voice/fax conversion at the IP network side. The
ZXMSG 5200 also can access common POTS-interface subscribers to
narrowband voice services. ZXMSG 5200’s SoftSwitch implements voice
compressing/decompressing (G.723.1, G.711 and G.729), facsimile (T.30
and T.38) and more VoIP or IP FAX services under the control of
H.248/MGCP.
In the NGN with SoftSwitch, the ZXMSG 5200 can be configured to take
the place of traditional access network in networking or to support hybrid
networking with the SoftSwitch in access networks.
System Working Principles

The ZXMSG 5200 takes “TDM + IP” as a kernel, internally comprising the
circuit-switching network and Ethernet-switching network. The working
principle is illustrated in Figure 1:

xDSL access at the subscriber side and provides IP uplink at the network
side.
Narrowband services like POTS enter the TDM of ICS board for switching.
Voices are converted into IP packets through MPR’s voice compressing
functions. The packets are switched by the Ethernet switching chip and
sent to CNIC for network address conversion, and then switched again to
enter the IP network from the uplink interface.
xDSL services enter the Ethernet switching chip of ICS board and then is
sent to the IP network through the uplink interface.

Hardware platform
The database system provides resource management functions, providing

interfaces for software modules and implementing database configuration
and O&M functions.
The H.248 system is responsible for maintaining connection between the

ZXMSG 5200 and SOFTSWITCH, interpreting and executing the
SOFTSWITCH commands.
The service (CALL) system implements the H.248 command execution.

The H.248 describes calls and their operation logically. Through bottom
layer drive software, the CALL implements physical operations on the
ZXMSG 5200, single receiving and forwarding to the H.248 system, and
also creates and maintains operations related with the ZXMSG 5200
structure.
Refer to Chapter 5 Software Structure for the functions and operation flow
of the software modules.

System Features
System boards are front-mounted.
Supporting SNMP-based integrated NMS
The whole ZXMSG 5200 system is established on a uniform Ethernet
switching platform and implements switching of three data flows: intra-
module control information, H.248 protocol and RTP data. This
Ethernet unit is totally private, not connected to any external Ethernet,
and outgoing data flows pass through the CNIC egress uniformly to
ensure security.
The clock provides the BITS interface and is capable of extracting
synchronous clocks through E1.
The ZXMSG 5200 supports 100 Mbits/s and 1000 Mbits/s Ethernet
interfaces at the IP network side, which are used as egresses for
narrowband media flow, H.248 protocol flow and broadband data flow.
These three data flows can be flexibly configured on any uplink
Ethernet port.
The ZXMSG 5200 supports networking with multiple SSs.
When many SSs are in an active/standby relation, the ZXMSG 5200
supports H.248 polling registration. When an active SS gets faulty,
the SS will contact a standby SS automatically and accepts its
control.
When many SSs are parallel, the ZXMSG 5200 supports H.248
Virtual MG function. The ZXMSG 5200 is multiple MG entities
logically, each of which is controlled by a corresponding SS.

The PSTN basic services and supplementary services are provided by

the SOFTSWITCH control equipment directly.
Existing conventional intelligent services can be implemented through
virtual SSP obtained by interworking of SG and existing SCP.
IP value-added services (VASs), intelligent services and future
multimedia services can be implemented through supported application
servers
A WEB Server being added to a network can serve as a service registration
and selection platform of IP subscribers and as a service subscriber
window. An application server in specific applications can provide standard
service API interface to third-party operators, who can keep developing
diversified new services for subscribers. The application server can also be
leased to enterprise group subscribers for providing customized services,
or serve as a VAS platform for network operators.
Available Services
Basic voice service
The basic voice service is a general term for all services with the
purpose of implementing normal conversation among subscribers.
Voice service is a service aggregate instead of a specific service.
Basic PSTN voice services and its corresponding supplementary
services
These services belong to the basic services provided by ZTE
SOFTSWITCH control equipment and can be independently
implemented by ZTE control equipment without any help of other
supplier’s equipment. These services are: local telephone service,
abbreviated dialing, registered call on busy, call back on busy, call
forwarding, three-party call, call waiting, conference call, clock
service, calling line identification, absent subscriber service,
outgoing call baring, calling line identification barring, (delay) hot
line telephone, do not disturb service and malicious call tracing.
Conference call
CENTREX service
Intelligent service

The service refer to traditional intelligent services as a result of

interconnection between the SOFTSWITCH control equipment and
the SCP, such as 300 and 800.
Broadband Internet service

The services combining voice and information/Internet
These services are: Click to Dial, WEB 800, escorted browsing
(synchronous browsing) among multimedia terminals and maintaining
the attributes and status data of the customized service by the
customer. Generally, they are provided by the interaction of the
application server and SOFTSWITCH control equipment.
Multimedia service
These services include point-to-multipoint multimedia communications,
multiparty multimedia conference service and other multimedia VASs,
which can be provided by the SOFTSWITCH control device or through
the interaction between the application server and the SOFTSWITCH
control device.
Services developed and generated via API

A third-party provider can use API provided by a ZXSS10 APP
application server to develop services like IP Call Center quickly
conveniently and cost effectively. This service provision mode can take
advantage of social resources and thus features sound application
future.

Board Overview
Integrated Control & Switch Board (ICS)
1. Functions
i. The ICS is a center for call control and service processing, which
monitors and manages other units and boards in the system and
implements protocol interconnection with the SS. The ICS is also
the core of the system TDM switching, Ethernet switching and
clock.
ii. The ICS provides IP network side interface and separates the
system internal network from external IP networks, improving
system security. The board also separates H.248 control, VoIP
service flow and broadband service flow for the IP packets that are
received from the IP interface.

iii. The CNIC sub-card on the ICS distributes received RTP packets.
When the system is receiving RTP packets, the sub-card distributes
the RTP packets to the corresponding MPR boards according to the
packet RTP number. This is implemented by changing the
destination address of the RTP packet into the destination IP
address in the system.
iv. The ICS board works with dual CPUs. The master CPU implements
call processing, H.248 protocol processing, Ethernet layer-2
protocol processing, TDM network and Ethernet switching network
controls. The slave CPU scans narrowband line cards and
subscribers in the local shelf. It communicates with the master CPU
by means of HDLC through the 2MHW timeslots.

Telnet O&M system performs operation and maintenance by directly
logging on the foreground system from the terminal. The system
implements such functions as data configuration, performance statistics,
file management, version management and diagnostic test.

Chapter 5 - Software Structure
Telnet provides the access interface, and functions are implemented in

foreground modules.
Database System
O ve rv i e w
The database system provides data support for the whole system.
1. System Functions
The ZXMSG 5200 database system is composed of a database and a
database management software. The database is a structurized data
set, covering data themselves and relations between the data. The
database, independent of applications, is the core and management
object of the database system. The database software is responsible
for database management and maintenance and serves to define,
describe, operate and maintain the data. The software accepts and
fulfils different requests from application programs and databases and
it is also responsible for data security.
The database system aims to provide database access interfaces for
the ZXMSG 5200 system software. The database management system
specially provides various dedicated access interfaces.
2. System performance
The database system can satisfy other modules requirements on data
in the system, and provides data loading when the system restarts,
proper and convenient data configuration and global data consistency
in the system.
D ata St ru ct u re
The ZXMSG 5200 builds the data system on the foreground. The Telnet
mode provides data configuration. The data maintenance and
configuration are separated form the system operation, that makes the
system more reliable.
The data system is composed of the following modules: data interface

module, resource management module and data active/standby
synchronization module, database maintenance management module and
man-machine command module.
Functions of each module are as follows:
1. Data Interface Module

The database system provides data support for subsystems via data
interfaces which includes call data interface (CALL module), system
data interface (R system), performance statistics interface and
configuration data interface (H.248 protocol system and support
system). The data interface module can visit the database directly for
handling simple data; but other modules must take part in handling
more complicate data requirements like get access to resources or data
area.

2. Resource management module

The module is used to manage physical resources such as DTMF, RTP
and TONE. this module functionally consists of three parts: getting
resource, releasing resource and managing resource status. The
module classifies resources to create corresponding queues according
to different resources type and status.
3. Database module
The module serves to describe such information as ZXMSG 5200
configuration and performance, including global attribute, physical
configuration, H.248 protocol data, terminal attribute and dynamic
data management.
4. Database active/backup synchronization and backup module
The module is used for data backup of the foreground, covering data
synchronization between active part and standby part and saving
backup of data of this machine.
5. Man-machine Command Module
The module serves to receive, explain and execute man-machine
commands input by subscriber on the Telnet terminal, providing such
functions as querying data, inserting data, deleting data and blocking
and unblocking.
Ke y T ec hn olo gi es
1. Database organization and management
The database adopts a relational structure and an object-oriented data
organization mode.
The ZXMSG 5200 data are categorized into data table, data table index
and data table queue. Every kind of data can be defined as system
data object category. The system will define and manage data in one
same object category uniformly.
A concrete data object is called as a data instance of a certain data
object category. The system distributes an only 16-bit integer to the
data instance of each data object category. This 16-bit integer is called
as a data instance handle, which implements access to a data instance.
One advantage of this method is that data instance increase will not
affect data management stability. As a result, the system keeps stable.
Another advantage is that it is convenient to expand the data object
category. The different data object categories are managed separately.
As a result, original data security will not be damaged after the data
object category is expanded.
Each kind of data object is provided with corresponding basic operation
interfaces, such as interfaces for searching, inserting, deleting and
modifying, to manage data.
2. Database data access concurrency
The system provides multiple functions for multiple subscribers. As a
result, multiple tasks (processes) may access to one same database at
the same time. In this case, although the subscriber program is
executed properly, wrong overall results may occur because of inter-

interference. This is a problem of data integrity and consistency in a

shared system.
Some concurrent control mechanisms will be used to solve this
problem. The mechanisms will execute a transaction without
interference from other transactions and eliminate inconsistent data
caused by concurrent transactions. The traditional concurrent control
mechanisms are divided into two kinds: Lock method and Timestamp
method, which are not used in the ZXMSG 5200 system because the
lock method needs additional overhead to test the dead lock and the
lock method will affect efficiency since transactions need be rolled
back, .
The ZXMSG 5200 system uses two methods to solve the concurrency
problem:
Providing synchronous or asynchronous messages only with an
access interface for processes with higher priority, which can
ensure time-series data access;
Requiring processes which access to the database in a synchronous
invocation mode with priorities not higher than data processes.
Since only the operating system process has a priority higher than the
database and the access to the operating system is not frequent
comparatively, the two methods will not affect the system functions.
Service process most frequently accessing the database can adopt the
synchronous invocation mode.
3. Integrity and consistency of modifying database data
The man-machine command sub-module can guarantee ZXMSG 5200
data’s integrity and consistency. The O&M terminal usually sends
commands. The man-machine command sub-module analyzes and
explains these commands to determine data validity; and then the
sub-module operate the database according to the commands. If the
operation fails, the data before the operation will be recovered.
Operation Support System

The system consists of process dispatch, communication, file operation,
version control, diagnosis and test, active/standby control, system
monitoring and alarm. The supporting/monitoring system is also called R
system for short. Figure 15 shows the internal functional sub-modules.

FIGU RE 1 5 R S YS TE M M ODU LES
1. Memory Management
The memory management function manages memory of the whole
system, including encapsulating memories managed by the real-time
operating system, managing memories not managed by the real-time
operating system and providing interfaces for R system memories.

This part provides communications between processes running on the
same CPU, like asynchronous inter-process communications,
synchronous inter-process communications, communications with non-
process systems; and interfaces are provided for the inter-CPU
communication system.
3. Process dispatch
This system provides an SDL process concept based on memory
management and inter-process communications; also provides the
upper-level system with a virtual development environment which is
process-oriented and based on message driving.
4. Time limit management

The timer consists of relative timing and absolute timing. The timer
can carry parameters or no parameters. The time limit management
can provide non-process systems with timers carrying parameters.
5. Inter-module communication
This part provides communications between foreground and
background, and communications between active part and standby
part. Processes on different modules can directly and logically perform
addressing and communications.

6. Inter-board communication

communications, including maintaining physical communication paths
between boards and Ethernet switching board, and monitoring
communications between Ethernet and boards.
10. Active/standby control
This part consists of operating and maintaining active/standby
hardware, controlling active/standby changeovers of other processes in
the system and maintaining ICS working address.
11. Alarm system
The system being an alarm interface module implements operations as
receiving foreground system alarms, collecting alarms, sending alarms
to the background, operating the warning box and receiving
background queries.
12. Startup control
This part implements functions as controlling system startup
consequence, distributing startup information (events like power-on
and being changed over to the active part) during the system startup,
collecting process parameters in each startup phase and controlling
startup conditions.
13. File management
This module encapsulates the file system in the real-time operating
system and separates execution of real-time file operations from
process running; the module provides a unified file operation interface
for processes and an interface for inter-module file operations.
14. Diagnostic test
This test module provides functions as fault test and fault location
during the ZXMSG 5200 system running. The diagnostic test function
can be executed once per time according to background requirements.
15. Version management
This module maintains all system versions (including peripheral
boards’), including version uploading.

Bearer System
The bearer software is resident in the unit control boards of functional
units. The software consists of several unit processor modules, whose
functions are described as follows.
C N I C Bea re r Subs yste m

The CNIC subcard is an interface subcard between the system and IP
networks, providing an IP network side interface. The card separates the
internal network from external IP networks, and provides the system and
network traffic filter measures. The card implements firewall functions
through NAT enhancing the system security.
The CNIC also distributes RTP packets that have entered the system. The
MPR board sends the RTP packets. The RTP packets’ IP destination address
can be directly set as the destination address in the network; and the RTP
packets’ IP source address can be switched to as the uniform external IP
address of the ZXMSG 5200 system.
When the ZXMSG 5200 sends out a RTP packet, the CNIC needs to
process the RTP packet. When the system receives a RTP packet, the CNIC
will distribute the RTP packet to the corresponding MPR board according to
the packet’s RTP number. This procedure is implemented through
changing the destination IP address of the RTP packet to the internal
destination IP address of the system, and changing the MAC address of
the RTP packet to the internal MAC address of the system.
M P R Bea re r Sub s ys te m
The MPR software is resident in the bearer layer. The subsystem
implements hardware drives especially VOIP under management and
control of corresponding ICS software and the ZXMSG 5200 database,
achieving service interconnection between PSTN and IP networks.
The subsystem provides service interconnections with coding/decoding

conversion between PSTN G.711 voices and IP network
G.711/G.723.1/G.729A voices, facsimile receiving/transmitting and media
flow packing/unpacking on the IP network interface. The board also helps
process PSTN calls and associated signaling and can provide DTMF number
receiving/sending, displaying and testing Call Progress Tone, FSK
generation and conference function.

Communications (H.248 Protocol

Description)
Logic Connection Model
The H.248 protocol use a connection model describing logical entities or
objects that are controlled by MGC in MG. Two abstract concepts are used
in the connection model: Termination and Context.
The termination can initiate/terminate one or more streams. The context

defines topology and connection relations between terminations. A special
context “null context” contains all terminations that have no connection
with other terminations. In the ZXMSG 5200, for example, all idle
subscriber circuits can be terminations in null contexts.
1. Contexts
Context refers to topology and connection relations between multiple
terminations. If more than two terminations are involved in a context,
topology is used to describe the directions of streams among
terminations.
The terminations in null contexts, although not belonging to any
definite context, have their own parameters. MGC can modify and
check the parameters and set events to be checked on terminations.
Generally, the Add command is used to add new terminations to a
context. In adding terminations, if MGC has not defined an existing
context, MG will generate a new context. A termination can quit from a
context by using the Subtract command, or move from one context to
another by using the Move command. A termination can only exist in
one context at a time. When the last termination quits or moves out of
a context, the context will be deleted.
The maximum quantity of terminations in a context is limited by MG.
Those MGs that provide point-to-point connections are allowed a
context having two terminations at most. Those MGs that provide
multipoint conferences can have three or more terminations.
The context has the following attributes:
i. ContextID
ii. The topology (who hears/sees whom)
The topology of context describes media stream directions between
terminations in the context. The termination mode (send/receive/_)
on the contrary describes media stream directions at MG’s inlets
and outlets.
iii. The priority
The priority provides information for MG to process a context
preferentially. MGC also uses the priority to automatically and
smoothly control the priority of traffic in certain circumstances

Chapter 6 - Interface and Communication
(restart, for example, when a great deal of contexts need to be

processed).
iv. An indicator
The indicator is used in emergency calls to indicate preferential
processing in MG.
2. Termination
The termination is a logic entity in MG, used to initiate/terminate
media or control streams. One termination can have several priorities
that are classified into a series of descriptions and used as command
parameters. When being created, a termination is allocated with a
unique ID (TerminationIDs) by MG. TerminationID uses two kinds of
wildcard mechanisms: ALL and CHOOSE. The ALL is used for multiple
terminations, while CHOOSE allows MG to select a termination that
matches the wildcard condition. For example, MGC can use ALL
commanding MG to select a specified circuit in a user group.
The termination that represents a physical entity exists semi-
permanently, such as a termination for timeslots of a user circuit. The
termination for ephemeral information stream, such as RTP stream,
only exists when being used.
An ephemeral termination can be created with the Add command, or
deleted with the Subtract command. For a semi-permanent physical
termination, the Add command serves to add a termination from a null
context into a material context, and the Subtract command serves to
move the termination into a null context.
The termination can play signal tones. The signal means dial tones and
notification tones generated by MG. MGC can set a termination to
detect some events, such as hook-on/off and hooking pressing. When
the termination detects such events, MG will report these events to
MGC.
3. Root termination
When a command is to operate the whole gateway instead of one
termination, a special termination ID “Root” can be used. The Root
termination can have a priority, event and statistic, but has no signal.
As a result, the Root termination can appear in the following
commands:
Modify: Change a priority or set an event.
Notify: Report an event.
AuditValue return: Check priority and statistic values used by Root.
AuditCapability: Check Root capability.
ServiceChange: Indicate gateway service statuses.
4. Package
Different MGs can have terminations of different priorities. Different
priorities of terminations are embodied that MGC can operate different
priorities, events, signals and statistics for the terminations.
For the interconnection between MG and MGC, these options are
classified into different Packages, with the terminations implementing a

series of Packages. MGC can audit a termination to know which

Packages the termination has implemented.
The priority, event, signal, statistic and their parameters that are
defined in the Package can have Ids as reference. In each package, all
of priority Ids, event Ids, signal Ids and statistic Ids have their unique
name space. The Ids in different packages can have the same ID
values.
Commands
The control between MGC and MG is implemented with Command.
Through commands, MGC can operate and control contexts and
terminations on MG, command MG to implement different services and
functions. The H.248 protocol supports the following eight kinds of
commands. The parameters enclosed by […] are optional. The command
format is like:

Networking Modes

The networking and applications of the ZXMSG 5200 system.
Networking Modes
Networking in NGN
The ZXMSG 5200 is located at a media gateway position in the NGN and
works with other media gateways. The application in the NGN is shown in
Figure 19.

The ZXMSG 5200 provides POTS, ADSL, VDSL, ISDN and more accesses at
the subscriber side and provides IP interfaces at the network side. The
system communicates with the MGC through the H.248 protocol.

Networking for MSAN Upgrading to

ZXMSG 5200
The networking mode of the ZXMSG 5200 in PSTN is shown in Figure 20.
The MSAN provides the same interface as that of the ZXMSG 5200, while
the difference is at the network side. The MSAN provides two interfaces at
the network side. The broadband data services access the IP network
through the Ethernet interface, while the narrowband services access the
PSTN through the V5 interface.

When the MSAN upgrades to the ZXMSG 5200, the network side V5
interface shown in Fig. 7.1-2 can be disconnected, and the H.248 protocol
will be transferred through the IP interface. Meanwhile, a VoIP processor
board should be added into the original system to convert the narrowband
services into IP packets for the transmission in IP network.

Chapter 7 - Networking Modes
Application Examples
Residential Area, Curb or Building in MAN
The ZXMSG 5200 can be applied in the existing IP Phone networking, as
shown in Figure 21.

In such applications, the ZXMSG 5200 is located at the end of the MAN.
This networking mode enables a wide variety of services due to the
SoftSwitch network architecture. At the same time, it takes advantage of
rich bandwidth resources in the MAN. The urban calls are based on the
G.711 coding mode, so the voice quality can be well guaranteed. Since the
traffic path is the MAN, the investment in network construction is
minimized and the operation cost is cut, meeting the development trend of
networks.

Use for the Reconstruction of Local Urban

Call Network
The ZXMSG 5200 can be applied for the reconstruction of original local call
network, as shown in Figure 22.

During the evolution from PSTN to NGN, it is important to maximize the

protection of operators’ early investment, including the construction of
twisted pair resources and the subscriber interface resources at central
offices. Despite of an innovative technology, the NGN has no innovations
in the access mode for subscribers. As a result, it is required to consider a
smooth evolution in planning the transition of telecom network to NGN, for
both the telecom operators and the equipment manufacturers. The PSTN
can be gradually cut over into the new NGN at minimal cost.
Along with the development of technologies and market, the SoftSwitch

will become the switching core of the NGN. While the IP Phone calls
progress in quality, it will be gradually used in the access and switching of
urban calls. The ZXMSG 5200 will also take the place of original end office
switch or smoothly upgraded to the original ONU. This not only protects
the investment of the operators, but also provides more new services on
its SoftSwitch network architecture.
