Unify Technical Sales Specialist Review (2): Here is a summary of the OpenScape 4000 system
C

architecture:
00
E N

OpenScape 4000 is the PBX of the next generation. It offers three different provisioning options and,
73

together with OpenScape UC, forms an Enterprise Unified Communications server.


26
D

OpenScape 4000 Communication Server option (EcoServer) supports convergent IP requirements,


C

including applications with a high analog share, DECT applications or special industry applications,
and has been designed for centralized provisioning.

The provision of OpenScape 4000 on standard servers equipped with Linux is ideal for the
requirements of convergent IP telephony and for distributed environments.
In this provisioning version, SoftGate (simplex only) can also be added on the same server.

The provision of OpenScape 4000 SW on a VMware® infrastructure is ideal for use in data centers.
This is also possible together with virtualized OpenScape UC and Unified Messaging. The virtual
solution provides the same high scalability as on cPCI hardware or the EcoServer.

The OpenScape 4000 Real Time IP communication solution consists of a central Call Control
installed on the OpenScape 4000 Communication Server (EcoServer) or a VMware®, and various
access points, OpenScape 4000 SoftGate server or OpenScape Access components for the flexible
connection of all end devices, network accesses and special solutions.

Unify Technical Sales Specialist Review 4: OpenScape 4000 – IP Distributed Architecture, abbreviated as
C

(IPDA):
00

• The IP Distributed Architecture, also known as IPDA, with IP access points, OpenScape Access Modules
N

and OpenScape SoftGate allows the connection of branches via a cost-effective IP infrastructure and ,at
E

the same time, provides benefits from central applications such as OpenScape UC, OpenScape Contact
73

Center and centralized management.


26

• The subscribers at the access points behave like subscribers that are directly connected to
D

OpenScape 4000.
C

• Thus, switching of payload channels (B-channels) is no longer limited to the central switching matrix
(host) since
– Calls within an IP access point can be switched without a delay in the local switching matrix of the IPDA
or OSA500 and SoftGate.
– Calls can be routed between IP access points in the IP network, and
– Calls that are not restricted to IP access points are routed in the IP network as well as in
OpenScape 4000.
• Up to 83 IP access points can be deployed in a single OpenScape 4000 simplex system.
• OpenScape 4000 supports many external applications such as OpenScape Contact Center, OpenScape
Xpressions etc. Over open interfaces such as CSTA, OpenScape 4000 supports attendant console
connectivity, third party CTI products and much more.
• In this course you will become familiar with additional special features and be introduced to the
redundancy options.
• OpenScape 4000 networking will be then covered as the final point.

OpenScape Cordless Enterprise is the integrated radio switching module for OpenScape 4000.
C
00

The radio technology in OpenScape Cordless Enterprise is in accordance with the DECT standard
E N

(Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications).


73
26

DECT always operates in a connection- oriented manner and is primarily designed for what is known
D

as pico-cellular telephony within buildings with a range or cell radius of 30 to 50 meters and in the
C

open, transmission distances of up to 300 meters are possible.


The base stations implement the transition from the cable-linked network to the radio net-work. The
maximum permissible output power from a base station is 250 milliwatt.

Using special antennas, the radio coverage can be adjusted to meet the needs of large open areas or
difficult radio environments within metal structures.
Outdoor housings for base stations allow their use outdoors.

The base stations are connected to between 1 and 3 UP0/E ports on the SLC24 board.
A maximum of 48 SLC24 boards in each shelf are possible.
OpenScape Cordless E V7 supports SLC24 boards exclusively and a maximum 16 base stations can
be connected to each SLC24 board are connectable.
Furthermore up to 3 Up0E, there is a maximum of 12 calls per base station using the protocol
CorNet-T Radio.
The system does Roaming and Handover, which are being discussed later in this course.

Different types of Unify DECT telephones for industry and office environments can be used known as
OpenStage DECT handsets based on the GAP standard.

26

OpenStage SL4 professional is the smallest and lightest DECT mobile phone in the portfolio. With its
D

high end functions and design, it meets the most stringent requirements and is the perfect device for
C

many workstations.
The scope of service is comparable to corded system terminals as well.

OpenStage M3
The OpenStage M3 DECT handsets are a family of devices designed to perform in harsh
environments.
This family comes with variants covering different alarm options and also use in potentially explosive
environments where moisture, dirt, shocks, dust, or high ambient noises degrade communication
quality. With its device protection class of IP65 they are ideally suited for these environments.
The OpenStage M3 is ideal for industrial environments or vertical industries, including:
• Docks/airports
• Hospitals
• Shipping and logistics companies
• The OpenStage M3 Ex variants are ideal for potentially harsh and explosive environments, such as
oil, gas, and chemical production, as well as other gas and dust-filled environments.
• The advanced alarm options connect personnel in security-critical areas where heightened
supervision is needed, i. e. law enforcement, forensic institutions,
power plants and industrial scenarios.

Networked systems have network-wide roaming and handover within a node Up to 64 OpenScape
C

4000 nodes with HiPath Cordless E V3.0 elements and OpenScape 4000 with OpenScape Cordless
00

E V7 elements can be networked to form a joint DECT system.


E N
73

This DECT system supports a maximum of 511 SLC24 boards and 48641 mobile subscribers. Of
these, up to 383 SLC 24 boards can be operated as home boards. Up to 127 subscribers can be
26

administered on one SLC24 board.


D
C

This results in a total of 12264 UP0/E ports.

With respect to one-channel base stations, a total of 8176 can be connected.


Automatic roaming between the base stations of different nodes is possible within this system.
It can be enabled by networking the systems via CorNet-NQ. Handover between the base stations of
a node (including transitional nodes) is possible too.
With the Inter Systemr Synchronisation (ISS) feature, connection handover is also possible between
nodes in a DECT system.

Inter System Synchronization (ISS) is used to synchronize different OpenScape nodes. The
foundation for this is the Global Positioning System (GPS) which provides a single time base within
an OpenScape network and consists of a GPS receiver (GPS170MP) and an antenna.

Project planning for OpenScape Cordless Enterprise must include an assessment of the radio
coverage with the "OpenScape Cordless HCS DECT Service Tool”.
This is the only way to ensure optimum technical positioning of the base stations as well as cost-
effective coverage of the customer-specific radio range.

Now we want to explain OpenScape 4000 – OpenScape Cordless- the solution concept.
C
00

Realization of the Cordless E system in OpenScape 4000 consists of the SLC24 / SLC
E N

(OSA500&Softgate) / vSLC (OSA500&Softgate) module, base stations (BS3/3, BS4) and mobile
73

phones.
26
D

The SLC is a module that can be plugged in at an LTU position as a Subscriber Line Module (SLM),
C

or connected in OpenScape Access 500 / Softgate over X link. Base stations are connected to the
SLC24 UP0 E outputs, currently except for vSLC.

A basestation has one, two or three interfaces. The interfaces are ADPCM-coded, which means that
calls are transmitted with 32 kbit/s.
The advantage of the ADPCM now lies in 4 voice channels per UP0 E.
It is the task of the SLC to transliterate the time slots of 32 kbit/s to 64 kbit/s, and vice versa. The
base stations create an area of radio coverage in which the subscriber may move freely with his or
her mobile phone.
Signaling between the SLC and the base stations is carried out according to the Cornet T Radio
protocol as mentioned before.

Now we will explain roaming:


C
00

Moving in a cellular radio area is called roaming. Roaming means that the mobile user is reachable
E N

throughout the entire radio network area. Consequently, it is irrelevant to which SLC the base station
73

that is being used belongs. Incoming and outgoing calls are possible at any time. Roaming caters for
two different cases:
26
D
C

Roaming 1: The subscriber moves within the radio net of a Cordless E and changes cells. He may be
reached under the same extension number in each cell.

Roaming 2: The subscriber changes from Cordless E to another DECT system, e.g. to a Gigaset
base station. The advantage is that he uses only one mobile telephone for different DECT systems.

With the Cordless E mobile telephone, the subscriber may roam between four different systems. If the
mobile telephone is adjusted correctly, it automatically changes the DECT system.

How does handover work?


C
00

Handover is the change of the radio channel during a call. At the same time, all the tasks required are
E N

automatically completed by the mobile telephone, the basestation and the SLC.
73

The user is not aware that a handover has taken place (Seamless Handover). In the DECT standard,
26

a handover is always initiated by the mobile telephone.


D

The mobile telephone measures the power of the base station and the quality of transmission during
C

a call.
Should the parameters change and thereby endanger secure transmission, the change is initiated. In
all handover cases, a second connection up to the new radio channel is added, in addition to the
existing connection.
Once this second connection is established, the mobile telephone needs only to switch over.
Thereafter, the old connection is discontinued.

Essentially, there are 3 types of handover:


1: Intracell Handover
2: Intercell Handover to the same SLC
3: Intercell Handover to another SLC

Here are some tips for OpenScape 4000 – OpenScape Cordless Enterprise- distribution of base
C

stations
00
E N

When distributing the basestations at the SLC24, attention should be paid that they cover the largest
73

possible related areas that belong to the same SLC.


26
D

If the cells are poorly distributed on the SLC, then Location Updates are needed more often and
C

extended connections are required more frequently.


The system dynamics worsen.

Now we speak about OpenScape Cordless Description of virtual Subscriber Line Cordless:
C
00

In order to use the “OpenScape Cordless Enterprise Integration" feature, a software-based "virtual
E N

Subscriber Line Cordless" (vSLC) connector unit must be configured in the OpenScape 4000
73

SoftGate.
26
D

This means that besides HFA and SIP subscribers DECT cordless subscribers can also be
C

configured in an OpenScape 4000 SoftGate.

As with the SLC24 line cards, the vSLC provides the option of generating up to 127 cordless
handsets.

The vSLC operates as a virtual home SLC for all subscribers administered.

The visit SLCs together with the DECT base stations form the location areas at the site.

At the moment it is not possible to connect base stations to the vSLC.

other vSLC applications.


00
E N

Up to six vSLC applications with a maximum of 400 handsets (0.15 ERL per handset) can be
73

configured in a OpenScape 4000 SoftGate.


26
D

Base stations cannot be connected to the vSLC.


C

If subscribers are not in the location area of their home SLC (this always applies with vSLC), a data
exchange must be performed between the home and visit SLC in order to fulfill the mobility concept.

A prolonging connection is set up for this purpose.

00
E N

All cordless subscribers have to be configured on virtual SLCs in the OpenScape 4000 SoftGate for
73

this purpose.
26
D

An additional base station is also installed at every base station location within a radius of approx. 1 -
C

2m.

The radio range will be supported from two base station of different SLC24 boards.

This additional base station is connected to a different SLC, which in turn must be connected to a
C

different shelf (or also an OpenScape 4000 system).


00
E N

The second base station is operated with reduced transmission power in order to avoid excessive
73

alternation between base stations. (10% of transmission- power).


26
D

If now for some reason the operating SLC board fails the nearby base station using the parallel SLC
C

board takes over the call.

Note: A project-specific release is absolutely mandatory for the redundancy scenario described.

The term networking covers the functionality of the main system connections.
C
00

In this case, networking means interconnecting systems with different network structures, such as:
E N

• several OpenScape 4000/HiPath 4000 systems with another or with old systems via S0/S2 lines or
73

• virtual networking of several OpenScape 4000/HiPath 4000 systems with one another or with old
26

systems via carrier.


D

• IP networking with SIP Trunking (SIPQ and native SIP)


C

Networking can use either closed or open numbering in E.164 Standard.

Heterogeneous networking, which is networking with systems from other manufacturers, is also
possible.

Many features that operate throughout the network can be set up or barred individually for each
line/trunk group.

the hard disk of the secondary machine. This is achieved by the DRBD (Distributed Replicated Block
Device) software, which replicates the relevant files over the LAN.
26
D
C

The whole virtual RMX HD (including ADP and SWU) is represented as a single file on the physical
HD. DRBD will replicate the configured partitions containing this RMX file and the specified
OpenScape 4000 Assistant files over the LAN.
If both hardware machines are connected via the local network, synchronous replication is used (in
DRBD terminology: protocol C). This implies that all data blocks are written on the hard disk of the
active machine and, at the same time, on the hard disk of the standby machine. The file system of the
active machine is notified when the writing process has been successful on both machines.

OpenScape 4000 Duplex with DSCXL2 processor board


C
00

Based on OpenScape 4000 hardware (DSCXL2) the duplex configuration of OpenScape 4000 is
E N

realized in one cPCI shelf. Within a duplex system, one "Active" and one "Stand-by" DSCXL2 server
73

blade are available.


26
D

The OpenScape 4000 Basic shelf contains a switch fabric (SF2X8) in slot 6, two DSCXL2 cards, one
C

in the system slot (slot 1), one in slot 5 and two RTM cards.

This solution supports:


• redundant LAN port
• break down of SWU
• break down of ADP
• break down of OpenScape Assistant and
• break down of OpenScape 4000 CSTA.

The active ADP is connected to CCA-SWU and CCB-SWU via the virtual Atlantic LAN using the
E N

same Atlantic LAN IP and MAC addresses by the virtual machines for the ADP and for the CCs.
73

Moreover, all ADP services are available in OpenScape 4000.


26
D

In normal operation, the virtual machines of the ADP and the OpenScape 4000 Assistant on the
C

primary hardware machine are active, while the corresponding virtual machines on the secondary
hardware machine are offline. The ADP and the OpenScape 4000 Assistant, which reside on the
same hardware machine, can only change their active/offline states together. Thus, an OpenScape
4000 Assistant can be active only on that hardware machine on which the virtual machine for the
ADP is active.

C

The OpenScape UC logic, which is controlled by the Backend Server, resides on a single computer

so the N+1 type redundancy is not an option.


N

OpenScape UC Backend Server survivability is the more standard environment of a backup computer
E

running the same software as the primary computer.


73

Unfortunately, there is no Active/Active mode for OpenScape UC, so the first option is Active – cold
26

standby. In this case, the primary Backend Server is used until there is some type of failure.
D
C

The cold standby computer runs the same software, but isn’t available to the clients until an
administrator makes changes to the database and disables the primary server, if that server is still
running.
The database must reside on an external Storage Area Network accessible to both machines, and
manual intervention is required for this redundancy option.

functions into the business applications that your customers use every day. The primary objective of

CEBP is to reduce the human latency that exists within a process flow.
E N
73

For example, a mortgage approval process may be experiencing human latency because the person
assigned to provide approval is on vacation or busy working on something else. To reduce this
26

latency, CEBP leverages unified communications capabilities by embedding them into the business
D

process flow so that the loan officer can see who else is available that can provide this approval with
C

a quick glance at the screen, and can then initiate contact with that person with a single mouse click.
The result is a more efficient, more automated closed-loop process; translating into significant ROI.

In the standard contacts portlet, all of your contacts are displayed. In this customized version, only the

contacts related to this task are displayed. The user doesn’t have to hunt through all their contacts to
73

find the 4 or 5 that are related to this task.


26

These don’t even have to be the user’s contacts. They can be anybody; OpenScape UC users, other
enterprise employees and even customer or partner contacts.
D
C

This CEBP customization will find the right people to display and if they are OpenScape UC users,
will automatically display their status. It will even build a conference or two with a single click –
including out dialing of all parties. Now that is convenient and time saving.

You have just seen two of the many ways to do custom integration with CEBP. This page shows you the general
C

categories with a simple description of each one.


00
E N

We will start with Rebranding. Does the customer want their brand and logo showing on the OpenScape clients?
73

If so, most of the OpenScape clients can be modified to display whatever the customer wants. This is the
26

simplest form of CEBP.


D
C

Next is Embed. Each of the OpenScape UC functions; call control, contacts, journal, conferences, team,
directory, personal status, preferred device, rules, Softphone controls and chat are displayed in a “portlet”. Each
function has its own portlet. These portlets are portable and can be embedded into the customer’s web site, or
business application. They can choose one portlet or all portlets effectively creating their own UC client.

Next is customize. If the customer likes the OpenScape Desktop Client Web Embedded but would like to
change the functionality, then they can. Perhaps they want to remove the conference function for half the
enterprise. The customer can customize the OpenScape client and offer two versions to their users - one with
conference, and one without.

The deepest level of customization is to Integrate. This is the SharePoint example I used earlier to demonstrate
UC functionality added to the business application.

Additional integrations are available to connect to web conferencing services that haven’t been previously
developed, groupware systems for email and calendaring other than Exchange and Domino and other services
the customer may be using.

And the final customization is for management. If the customer is using a management system for their other
applications and wants to use the same one for OpenScape UC, then the APIs and SOA interfaces are
available.

For existing customers whose system was installed before mid 2015, a redesign of their Media
C

Server and Web Collaboration environment will be required to use this new recording feature for
00

recording Web Collaborations. The established landscape of the OpenScape UC Server in the
N

intranet and the OpenScape Web Collaboration server in the DMZ can be still used, but there is no
E
73

recording of joint audio and video available. However, recording of Audio and Video Conferences can
26

be done if upgrading this landscape to OpenScape UC V7R3. As a matter of fact, you don’t even

need the Web Collaboration Server to record the audio or video conferences.
C

These recordings are created on the Media Server and send to the Backend server for storage and
distribution.
A separate video composer is required in the Media Server, which does require more CPU
processing power.

The pre mid 2015 landscape has the OpenScape UC components including Backend, Frontend and
Media Server, all installed in the Intranet. The OpenScape Web Collaboration Server is installed in
the DMZ allowing access from the Intranet and the Internet. A connection between the OpenScape
UC Backend and Web Collaboration Servers is used to schedule and initiate Web Collaboration
Sessions.

There are two basic reasons for OpenScape data centers to go virtual, functionality and cost savings.
C
00
N

From the functionality perspective, virtualization offers hardware independence. When Unify provides
E

the hardware, it will be a specific manufacture like Lenovo or Fujitsu. If the customer uses Dell
73

hardware in their data center, they may not want Lenovo. Virtualization allows them to use any
26

hardware that is approved by VMware, as long as it meets the minimum specifications for
D

OpenScape.
C

Implementation is faster and less prone to errors using vApps and Appliances.
There are additional options for redundancy and survivability with VMware, and they match the other
applications installed in the data center.

Most servers run at 30-40% of capacity. Virtualization can increase that percentage dramatically
which results in fewer servers.

And management becomes more consistent across systems if all the hardware is the same type and
VMware is managing the virtual machines.

From a cost savings perspective, less hardware means less initial cost, lower maintenance costs and
most certainly lower environmental costs for physical space in the data center and power and cooling.

Let’s compare OpenScape in a physical deployment to OpenScape in a virtual deployment.


C
00
N

In a virtual deployment, an OpenScape Voice “node” can be considered the OpenScape Voice
E

software application as a “virtual node” running in a SuSe Linux environment, but on a VMware
73

virtualization layer and running on one or more hardware machines also referred to as hosts.
26
D
C

The OpenScape Voice virtual nodes can be running on the same host, physically co-located hosts or
geographically separated hosts.
With virtual nodes, all the requirements for inter-node communication, database synchronization and
switch-over concepts still apply, even though the OpenScape Voice application itself is not aware as
to whether it is running in a physical deployment or a virtual deployment.
As with physical deployments, care also must be taken with virtual deployments to ensure the
necessary performance, capacity and redundancy performance criteria are met to satisfy the
customer’s reliability and availability demands, such as is provided carrier class availability.
Thus, as we go forward in the discussion of virtual deployments, you should think of software
application virtual nodes which are independent of the server platform whenever there is a reference
to nodes with respect to performance, operations or requirements.

Let us now look further at the OpenScape Voice virtual deployment environment.

A hypervisor, also called a virtual machine manager (VMM), is a program that allows multiple
C

operating systems to share a single hardware host. Each operating system appears to have the
00

host’s processor, memory and other resources all to itself. However, the hypervisor is actually
N

controlling those resources, allocating what is needed to each virtual machine, or vm, making sure
E
73

that the guest operating systems cannot disrupt each other.

OpenScape Voice virtual deployment is supported for duplex deployment environments, where there
C

are two virtual nodes that are either co-located or geographically separated.
00
N

OpenScape Voice virtual deployments are compatible with VMware ESX(i) v4.x or ESXi v5.x
E

software. ESXi v5.5 is the latest version supported at the time of this course creation, but later
73

versions will be approved as appropriate. As mentioned previously, other VMware products or other
26

hypervisor technologies can be considered on a project specific basis.


D
C

OpenScape Voice is independent of the underlying hardware servers or hosts, as long as the
hardware is on the VMware compatibility list for ESX(i) v4.x or ESXi v5.x and the OpenScape Voice
performance and capacity requirements are satisfied. The hard disk storage can be either internal to
the servers or hosts running the OpenScape Voice application, or hard disk storage can be part of a
Storage Area Network (or SAN) infrastructure. In a virtual deployment, the OpenScape Voice system
assumes it has one hard disk drive and four Ethernet ports available for its use.

For high availability, the OpenScape Voice specifications require redundancy of these and other key
hardware resources.

In a virtual deployment, the Billing, Signaling, OAMP and Cluster Interconnect Ethernet ports do not
need redundancy because Vmware provides recovery of the virtual Ethernet ports. Also, the machine
management port is no longer used and the STONITH command is typically sent over the OAMP
port.

In an OpenScape Voice virtual deployment, the hardware platform is typically installed, supervised
C

and maintained by the customer, assuming no other special considerations have been made by Unify
00

or the partner channel with the customer.


E N
73

This obviously differs from a physical deployment when the OpenScape Voice system operation is
26

tightly coupled with the Lenovo or Fujitsu servers.


D
C

Therefore, in a virtual deployment, the following are outside the scope of OpenScape Voice control
and are provided and managed by the customer:
• the hard disk location, which can be local or on a storage area network (or SAN),
• the type of disk redundancy that is deployed (such as RAID),
• the server, or host, core processor and memory redundancy infrastructure,
• the network redundancy, such as Ethernet bonding drivers for signaling, and
• the method of remote access for service and hardware alarming.

In the initial installations of OpenScape on VMware, there were issues with the method of license
C

enforcement. The licenses were tied to the MAC address of the physical machine. In a VMware
00

environment, the virtual NICs no longer have unique MAC addresses, so a new method was devised
N

for licensing. the Advanced Locking ID (ALI).


E

The Advanced Locking ID is a character string comprised of the locking parameters:


73

• Host Name
26

• Host IP Address
D
C

• Gateway (default) IP Address


• Primary DNIS IP Address
• Time Zone (GMT Offset)
• Either IPv4 or IPv6 IP addresses are supported.

Advanced Locking ID tolerance levels for locking parameters are established in the event one or
more changes, versus the much more rigid MAC-based licensing.
OpenScape Enterprise V7 products that support Advanced Locking ID include OpenScape Voice,
OpenScape Session Border Controller, OpenScape Concierge, Common Management Platform
(CMP) and OpenScape Branch.
For a full list of OpenScape Enterprise V7 and other Unify products that support Advanced Locking
ID, refer to the Central License Server (CLS) documentation and user interface to see if a particular
product requires use of Advanced Locking ID for virtual deployments.

Also refer to the License Management technical resource documents for further details.

In support of virtualized deployments, Unify has delivered pre-installed, pre-configured, ready-to-run


C

applications that can be deployed onto virtual infrastructure, which simplifies solution deployment.
00
E N

These applications are called virtual appliance (vApp) applications.


73
26

vApp application functions include creation of the customer environment, distribution of software
D

images and deployment of configuration data, installation files and licensing, as well as the capability
C

for mass provisioning.

vApp can be directly loaded onto open hardware, which avoids the installation, configuration and
maintenance associated with running multiple complex software stacks, operating systems and
applications.

This makes deployment via partner channels substantially easier and there is a serviceability
enhancement. Initially Unify, our partners or our customers had to configure and install virtual
machines for OpenScape Enterprise deployments. The vApp allows Unify to deliver a single, ready to
run disk/image of a virtual machine, avoiding the additional effort of building a virtual machine.

This concludes the section on Virtualization.
