OmniPCX Enterprise - Release 12.3.1


Release Note & Installation procedure for OmniPCX Enterprise R12.3.1 Released version M4.501.12 .A TC2632en-ed.04
Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 17/135
Warning REMINDER
DECT2/DECT4 and DECT4 HB boards are phase-out. They are still supported by RELEASE 12.3.1 but can no
more be configured for addition or for new installation.
They are NOT compatible with SUOTA functionality

(3) Manual modifications are required.


(4) No alternative possible.
(5) Boards of IO2/OBCA type do not exist in common hardware. A certain number of applications and
functionalities are therefore no more supported, such as:
 Extension of V24 physical ports via SPB board => use the Moxa box
 Direct management of data applications in V120 accessible from a terminal adapter (TA in V120)
locally or from the outside (appli login, SLIP, hotel management, etc.).
 Data transmission in the B channel of a digital support (T2, PCM, etc.)
 Link in a B channel of a T2 (switched or not switched)
 Link in a B channel of a PCM board (often encountered in South America where T2s are less
common)
 Link via TA/Modems
 No more back-up signaling via ISDN
 X25 in a B channel (Tunnel operation in T2 and Centrex operation for centralized network
management via 4740)
 Frame Relay in the case of saturation of the signaling channel in D
In this case, the Tunnel, Broadcast and network incident type X25 applications pass through a B
channel (application of over-reservation coefficient 15 in the D channel of a link allows Frame Relay not
to be carried out, but the mechanism still exists).

 Installation on second partition


Coming from ANY version <12.0 the cpu MUST be reformatted: no possible use of unactive
partition (partitions are resized + multipartition process NOK). Coming from R12.0 second
partition installation can be used

 VoIP network conformity check


The OmniPCX Enterprise R12.3.1 is a native IP product when using a dedicated cpu hardware or virtualization
and in the case of hardware mixing. All signaling exchanged between the Call Server and the Media Gateways
or ACT Media Gateways is transported over IP. It guarantees a reliable IP connection and respects the VoIP
criteria (delay, jitter, packet loss) for VoIP configurations.

VoIP conformity tests are compulsory before deploying the VoIP solution; consult the VoIP
Engineering section on Business Portal for the methodology, recommendations and tools to
secure the VoIP installation. In particular, the VoIP Assessment tool for VoIP Audit and
diagnostic help guide are strongly recommended (available in the Brest training catalog).

CAUTION

With the "Modem, Fax, Data transparency over IP" feature, it is mandatory that the IP network is almost
perfect; see technical communication TC0712 Modem, Fax, Data transparency over IP.

5.2 Getting the software


Virtualization requires extra DVDs or tools like Operating Systems, firmwares …

Virtualized OXE:
 ESXi boot DVD or Suse boot DVD (for the KVM solution)
Flex server:
 OVF file (image of CentOS OpSyst + Flex server binary: vmware solution) or separate CentOS ISO
image + flex server binary (for the KVM solution)
OMS:
 Boot DVD, OXE MS APPLICATION DVD-R
S.O.T.:
 S.O.T. v2.2 or upper plus vmware player (free download & use) or workstation on a user PC.
Download S.O.T. on the BPWS at product versions level. Some virtualization features may require
extra virtualization software or licenses.
 S.O.T. 2.2 is needed if PCS cpus have to be reinstalled (for systems coming from releases lower than
12.0)

Note: ALEDS & PC Installer tools are no more supported & are replaced by S.O.T.

5.3 ACTIS, eLP & software locks


Release 12.3.1 does NOT need a change in software locks (use of swk of release 12.3) Actis 22.5 is requested
 Oxe version lock: lock 165: value 48
 Oxe Beta lock 87: value 28
 NEW SIP TRUNK RECORDING: 428
Product catalogue OXE: E33-Ed42

Full Software Native Encryption & Full Software Native Encryption on ABC network need software lock 424 (set
to the value of the number of ip phones).

To prepare any system to the Cloud connection a new CC-suite id is inserted by eLP or Actis. This data stands
before the CPUids in the swk file constitution.

CAUTION
An add-on via Actis is only possible if the current Actis offer includes the “. swk” file (generated by eLP then
imported into Actis).

When you make a configuration request four or five OPS files will be generated:
 <offer_id>.zip
 <offer_id>.swk (this file results from the eLP)

 <offer_id>.hw
 hardware.mao
 <offer_id>.sw8770 (if 8770 is present)
In the case of the migration of an OmniPCX 4400, the lock files of the site (photoconfig) should be put in
Actis. Actis will then allow you migrating these locks (in "Migration to OXE" Offer) by proposing migration
packages for the functionalities and hardware that are not supported by R12.3

NEW LOCKS in R12.3


Lock 428: SIP TRUNK RECORDING

5.4 Before saving the database


The following operation may be necessary coming from an old release:
In the current version, carry out the following commands.

5.4.1 Rebuilding the database before saving


Login: mtcl
Directory: /DHS3data/mao
Command: /DHS3bin/fab/fichges recover all (if R  1.5.2)
fichges force_recover_dico (if R > 1.5.2)
This operation may be long (over 30mn depending on the database & cpu type) and it is essential not to
interrupt it while running.
Carry out the back-up in swinst and transfer it to disk or PC.

CAUTION
 Do not choose the save option "Save for rebuilt" (index files will not be saved).
 Do not use a database saved in "Automatic save" (same reason).

5.4.2 Tickets
REMARKS: On the saving of charging tickets.
Sites going from A9.5xx to R12.3.1 who wants to retain client tickets (hotel or hospital type) in the
‘TABJUSTIF’ files should "empty" the administrative tickets before saving as these are no more processed as of
R3.0. As of R3.0, administrative tickets are stored in compressed files.
Sites going from R1.5.2 to R12.3.1 which already have compressed files should save them as they will be
compatible.

5.4.3 From crystal to GAS or vm or common hardware


CAUTION:
The shelves already created in position 18 and 19 must be moved before the translation. If this is not done,
they will not start. When migrating to OXE R12.2 with change of CPU 4400 by a VM or a CS or GAS, there is
an automatic translation of shelves created in these 2 positions. This automatic translation does not exist if the
CPU of type 4400 is retained.

OmniPCX Enterprise - Release 12.3.1


Release Note & Installation procedure for OmniPCX Enterprise R12.3.1 Released version M4.501.12 .A TC2632en-ed.04
Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 20/135
5.5 Call Server compatibilities

Warning FOLLOW CAREFULY THE RULES OF THIS SUB-CHAPTER (same rules as those from R12.0)

Only the following CPUs are compatible:


 CPU7s2 with a change of memory bank to 512Mb. To obtain this memory bank:
 Automatically added during a R12.0 or upper upgrade by Actis
 Can be ordered separately in Actis
 CPU8
 CS-2
 CS-3
 Appliance servers to be used now in GAS mode only for new installations
- Check for compatibility with Suse 12.3 & KVM (white lists manufacturer)
- Memory: 4GB minimum (1 oxe vm, 1 OMS)
 VM with following characteristics
- Memory size from 1Gb to 2Gb
- OS: other Linux or CentOS
- Hard drive size: 40Gb minimum
- Network card:
- E1000
- VMNETX3 IF CentOS is selected
- S.O.T. R2.1 will generate vm with following characteristics:
 500 Users – 1 vCPU – 1024 MB RAM – 40 GB disk
 3000 users – 1 vCPU – 1024 MB RAM – 60 GB disk
 7000 users – 1 vCPU – 1024 MB RAM – 80 GB disk
 15000 users – 1 vCPU – 2048 MB RAM – 80 GB disk

!! The CPUs not mentioned above ARE NOT compatible and most of them will not be able to be installed

For installing a CPU7s2 the bios must be at a minimum version. Follow the chapter 19.2.2
Thus the menu “boot Alizee” is no more available to load this cpu => use the “A4400” boot method.

Coming from any version up to M1.401.x (included) the disk must be reformatted meaning that remote
download feature cannot be used to go to M1/2/3/4.
This concerns main & standby CPUs as well as PCS cpus.
From M1.403.x to any other version remote download is operational.
A system running in L2 for instance can remote load & install a M4 to a cpu already installed in M1 or above

5.6 Firmware upgrade


Going from any version up to this release: iptouch sets will upgrade their firmware. Take this time into account
before upgrading. Chapter 5 shows all the components & firmware versions (in bold: new).

Issue is detected in case of backing up/restoring big files bigger than 2Gb (crqms00177881): the file does not
have the right size (issue related in both os & client tool).
the size of /tmpd (usr4) increased to 25 GB. This change will reflect only for HD size >=80 GB. For other disk
size, there is no change.

5.9 Recommendations about security


The security rules and recommendations for securing the access and using the system are described in the
System Documentation "Security" section.
The IP services and port numbers used by the system are also available in this section.
It is strongly advised to have full network security managed & change regularly the account passwords.
Consult also the security news alerts.
You can use the embedded oxe tool “securitystatustool” to perform a check of the OXE. Those controls are
described at chapter 15 in the release note OXE R12.2

5.10 Translations
DO NOT USE THE “mao for rebuild” type of database backup to translate to a release <R12 to R12.0: the
rebuild tool always included in that backup is NOT compatible with the new Linux OS.

Things to know …

OmniPCX Enterprise - Release 12.3.1


Release Note & Installation procedure for OmniPCX Enterprise R12.3.1 Released version M4.501.12 .A TC2632en-ed.04
Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 24/135
Consult TC1854 for database translation compatibilities to see if an intermediate translation is needed (for
chorus/linux netadmin as well as database)
 There is no automatic translation of Chorus data of Releases below R3.0. You should not restore the
Chorus data of Releases below R3.0 but perform manually a complete netadmin.
 There is no automatic translation from the Custom Release 3.0C (C1.580.1) to RELEASE 12.3.1 It is
essential to carry out an intermediate translation with Custom Release 3.2-C2 (C1.762.18 minimum).
 As of Release 8.0.1, the translation creates automatically a fictive shelf in which the virtual UA boards of
ACT 19 (intended for the assignment of IP sets) will be migrated.
This fictive shelf is created automatically with the first free shelf number in the translated database.
In XL configuration, the number of fictive shelves dedicated to IP sets allocation can go up to 3.
 When migrating (use of photoconfig), Actis takes into account the creation of fictive shelves dedicated to
IP sets allocation.
 all standard SIP sets must be declared with the SIP Extension type. Standard SIP sets are no longer
supported with the former "SIP Device" mode (formerly called "External set"). Only items other than
standard sets (Nokia sets in Dual mode, 4135 IP Conference Phones, fax, video, etc.) should remain with
the former "SIP Device" mode.
When migrating a system with "SIP Device" / "External set" to R9.0, the system moves these sets into the
new mode (SIP extension) automatically.

Warning It is mandatory to declare Nokia sets, used in Dual mode with OXE, and OT4135 IP Conference Phones with
type "SIP device".

Procedure to follow:
 Export the SIP entities which are not standard SIP sets (Nokia sets in Dual mode, OT4135 IP
Conference Phones, fax, video, etc.) by OmniVista 4760(i) by using “.prg” as export format.
 Remove these entities then migrate to R9.0.
 Import again the items which have been previously exported: standard SIP sets are in "SIP Extension"
and the other SIP entities in "SIP Device".

Note Fictive shelves dedicated to IP sets allocation created automatically by the system must in no way be
changed by the management.

 As of RELEASE 11.0, the Direct RTP mode (in network) is automatically enabled and the relative
parameter removed. The same is done for “H323 Internode Protocol” system parameter.
 When creating a new Media Gateway or an A4645 voicemail after the upgrade to RELEASE 12.1, a GD3
board will be automatically created and no more a GD one. The already created Media Gateways and
A4645 are of course not modified and will remain with a GD board. For the A4645 voicemail, absolutely no
functional difference exists depending a fictive GD or GD3 is used.

Check if translation performed correctly: operation & error messages are located in a file that can be displayed
by “swinst”:

then
5 About last database operation

Translation log file is located under “/usr3/mao/TRANSLATE.dat” and is also included in the infocollect result
file.

5.11 Migrating old versions


 Sometimes there is no automatic translation between 2 releases. An intermediate translation has to be
done. For that you need to use the document “TC1854en-
Ed25_OmniPCX_Enterprise_patch_aligment_procedure.xlsm“ in the business portal.
 As the IP addressing plan has changed since Release 3, it is not possible to reuse the Chorus data
from a previous version in its current state.
 The restoration of Chorus data from a release lower than 3.0 is possible only in the case of a
intermediate translation in Release  R5.0.1 Ux. A translation is then carried out including the names
and addresses of the CPU and its twin, addressing by role, the local tunnel, SLIP management and
"trusted hosts".
 There is no automatic translation of Chorus data of Releases below R3.0. You should not restore the
Chorus data of Releases below R3.0 but perform manually a complete netadmin.
 The translation of the tunnel creates static LCNs. For a network where all nodes are in R7.1, the static
LCNs must be deleted.
 It is essential to save the site OPS files (photoconfig). They will be required to be able to carry out a
migration to R12.0
 If the lanpbx.cfg file was used in Release 3.2, it is essential to save it before passing to RELEASE 12.x
(usr2/downbin/lanpbx.cfg). It should be restored after the translations in usr3/mao. If forgotten, this
file should be recreated. For more information, refer to the System documentation (Functional
documentation/IP-PCX networks/IP Phones section).

5.12 Dect
Each system equipped with DECT needs a unique PARI configured in the system. To obtain the PARI, refer to
articles in TKC : 000007973, 000011120 on Business Portal.

Information about DECT licenses in case of migration.

If you have an OmniPCX 4400 with DECT, you will find the number of DECT sets in the lock 82 (no lock 175
and no lock 200).

If you make a migration to OmniPCX Enterprise, you will be able to see locks 82, 175 and 200. During this
migration, if you update the number of DECT sets, only locks 82 and 175 will change, the lock 200 will keep
the value of the number of DECT sets present in OmniPCX Enterprise configuration.

Example:
OmniPCX 4400 with 50 DECT sets:
Lock 82 = 50.

OmniPCX Enterprise - Release 12.3.1


Release Note & Installation procedure for OmniPCX Enterprise R12.3.1 Released version M4.501.12 .A TC2632en-ed.04
Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 26/135
Migration to OmniPCX Enterprise:
Lock 82 = Lock 175 = 50
Lock 200 = 50.
If you change the number of DECT sets from 50 to 60:
=> Lock 82 = Lock 175 = 60
=> Lock 200 = 50.
In that case the maximum declarable of DECT sets is the value of the lock 82 (or 175) but not the
sum of locks 82 and 200 or the sum of locks 175 and 200.

Concerning the new solution ip dect on xBS there is no change on software locks.

Warning Before upgrade, make sure that the value of the licenses matches the number of DECT users. So, if you
have more DECT users than the value of the license you have to make an add-on with Actis to increase the
license.

Dect migration to xBS


- “old” sets are not considered in new ip dect solution (no support, no firmware fix)
- Autoreg feature needs a minimum version on each set. Make sure to perform a SUOTA operation
before.
- SUOTA is not yet automatically set to TRUE. This has to be done manually.

5.13 New installation

CCS must be upgraded to version 10.2.92.0

Note All OMS in Red Hat should migrate to Suse.


There is no data backup or translation for doing that: configuration done by “mgconfig” must be managed
again at the identical.

Warning Migrating from a CPU7S1/2 to CPU8: if the embedded ethernet was used a new cable has to be
installed on the cpu that lacks this connection to the external switch.
This internal interface is not present anymore. See corresponding chapter 18.1.1 new CPUS

All the elements required for passage to R12.0 are given in paragraphs 7 to 16.

REMINDER
It is mandatory to reconfigure the system by Actis even if there is no changing of license or hardware.

OmniPCX Enterprise - Release 12.3.1


Release Note & Installation procedure for OmniPCX Enterprise R12.3.1 Released version M4.501.12.A TC2632en-ed.04
Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 27/135
5.14 Updating the PCSs
Coming from versions lower than R12.0 there is no possibility to use the second partition. Disk must be re-
installed from scratch.
S.O.T. 2.2 can be used for that in environments where telnet/ftp protocols are filtered or NOT.
Method described in TC2338 can be forgotten.

5.15 OmniPCX 4400 migration to R12.3.1


Two possibilities are provided for migration to R12.3.1:
 Migration to R12.3.1, keeping the 4400 type CPU: only CPU7s2 with new memory bank (512Mb) or new
CP8 are compatible
 Migration to R12.3.1, changing the 4400 type CPU to vm (or Generic Appliance Server) or CS-2/3. This
operation is done automatically as a translation.

The migration to R12.3.1 offers the same level of functionalities as the R5.0 Ux, except for three restrictions:
 As of Release 5.1, certain applications, hardware or functionalities are no more supported; see paragraph
5.1.
 The replacing of 4400 CPUs with CD/vm or Generic Appliance Server leads to restrictions on the use of
certain functionalities.
 In ISO migration, the shelves already created in position 18 and 19 must be moved before the translation.
If this is not done, they will not start. In fact, when migrating from OmniPCX 4400 to OmniPCX Enterprise
R11.0 with change of CPU 4400 by an Appliance Server, there is an automatic translation of shelves
created in these 2 positions. This automatic translation does not exist if the CPU of type 4400 is retained.

Actis is used to migrate locks (resulting from site by photoconfig) of an OmniPCX 4400, proposing migration
packages for functionalities and hardware not supported by R12.3

5.15.1 Use of the hardware key


Hardware key is no more used on CPU7s2 since it is no more proposed by Actis.
Hardware key is not available on CPU8.

5.15.2 Crystal hardware compatibility with an Appliance Server


See also phase-out & compatibility documents
Technical communication TC0778 Migration OmniPCX 4400 to OmniPCX Enterprise describes the steps
necessary for transition to Release 9.1 but is not updated to R12.0

6 INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE

6.1 Using dual partitioning or not


 Coming from ANY version <12.0 the cpu MUST be reformatted: no possible use of
unactive partition (partitions are resized + multipartition process NOK)
 Coming from R12.0 second partition installation can be used.

OmniPCX Enterprise - Release 12.3.1


Release Note & Installation procedure for OmniPCX Enterprise R12.3.1 Released version M4.501.12.A TC2632en-ed.04
Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 28/135
6.2 Virtualization
vm recommendations about installation: consult “TC2431 Virtualization: OXE configuration related to OXE
releases and ESXi infrastructure versions”.

6.3 S.O.T.
S.O.T. general release is 2.2
- includes installation of OMS, OST, GAS … etc
- installation of PCS in secured environment! new in 2.2 (with cpu reformatting)

Reminder:
- Flex server installation does not need any 3rd party tool (vmware or kvm solution)
- PC Installer is no more supported. Installing old versions will be not available as well as boards
firmware reload.
- PC Installer is no more present from OXE R12.3. For those who still want to use it, install & use the
latest version 5.5 No support will be provided.

6.4 Installation of PCS (OXE secured or not by ssh)


Update PCS systems then update Main & Stdb CPUs
The issue when using “pcscopy” where PCS become unreachable after reset is fixed on this version.

Coming from a release up to L2 the PCS needs to be reformatted (new Linux M1/R12.0 constraint). Upgrade
of a PCS without being physically at the PCS location is now done with S.O.T. version 2.2 minimum.

6.5 Using the Remote Download


Remote download is NOT operational when coming from ANY version to M1.403.x
But it is operational FROM M1.403.x to M1.403.x & above

Tip ! Remote download allows to perform programmed & scheduled operations (load, installation).
Switch back to unactive partition is possible through a specific question & guaranties a more secured
upgrade. If answered yes, ANY kind of reboot will switch back to the other partition. This behavior can b
Cancelled if system seems stable.

Remote download operations can be programmed, sequenced & executed at a specific time.
Switch to the new version (from active to unactive partition) can be programmed at a specific time: in that
case the copies of database & Linux data will be performed automatically from active to unactive partition.
Consult system documentation for operational details.

Notice that this operation even if still working is replaced using S.O.T.

OmniPCX Enterprise - Release 12.3.1

Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 29/135
6.6 Secured systems
6.6.1 Security activated by default during an installation
At the first standard installation, a list of security levels is displayed before any other configuration is possible.
This list proposed in a menu on the first login on Call Server, makes it possible to sensitize the Partner
Business on the policy of security which he will have chosen for the system.
The absence of security on the system, which remains always possible, will be under the whole responsibility
of the customer.

Description
On the first login after the standard installation of a Call Server, the question Do you want to activate
server security high level (Y/N)? is displayed.
An answer (Y or N) is mandatory to quit the menu.
Answer N
The following menu appears:

Select server security level:

R) Configuration to be restored
0) Level_0 = no security feature activated
1) Level_1 = password/aging
2) Level_2 = password/aging + trusted hosts/TCP wrapper
3) Level_3 = password/aging + trusted hosts/TCP wrapper + SSH

Choice R is used to restore Linux data of the system (and thus to retain its levels of security)
Choice 0 is used to initialize the system with no default level of security NOT RECOMMENDED
Choices 1, 2 & 3 are used to set the various levels of security by mixing between them if necessary:
 Choice 1: Modification of passwords of root, swinst, mtcl and adfexc accounts and enabling of the
aging password function
 Choice 2: Choice 1 + enabling of the trusted hosts and TCP wrapper
 Choice 3: Choice 2 + enabling of the SSH service

Answer Y
The level of security 3 is automatically set. It is highly recommended to use this level.

6.6.2 Installation of a secured system for VoIP encryption ("IP Touch Security" service –
Thales solution)
Thales encryption: for reasons of export control of encryption technology, a patch called patch of security is
provided in addition to the generic version.
This patch of security contains only the secured binaries for IP Touch sets and the binaries of "IP Touch
Security Modules".

There is no need of this kind of patch for Full Software Native Encryption feature.

OmniPCX Enterprise - Release 12.3.1


Release Note & Installation procedure for OmniPCX Enterprise R12.3.1 Released version M4.501.12 .A TC2632en-ed.04
Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 30/135
Installation process
The installation of security on a system in M4.302.5.H must be carried in two steps:
1. Installation of system with generic version i.e.:
Installation generic version M4.302, installation of static patch M4.302.5 and then installation of dynamic
patch M4.302.5.H
2. Installation of the latest patch of security in addition of the previous installation i.e.:
Installation of the security patch SM4.302.5.H called also containing the latest secured binaries.

6.7 Reading the hardware key, CPU-id, CCS-ID


On a label on the CPU
For all types of CPU (CS-2, AS, CPU7s2), a label is visible indicating the CPU-Id number.
For virtualized systems, the equivalent of the cpuid is the dongle (reference written on it).

Through a command to read the CPU-Id or CCS-id


For all types of CPU (including virtualized but not valid: no cpu-id in that env.), telephone started or not,
execute the command “spadmin”, option 5: “Read the system CPUID”

CCS-id used in Cloud Connect belongs to the swk file


“spadmin” choice “Display active file”. CCS-id is displayed as CPU0
Ex: “Cpu Id 0 = CCSID:3834-5945-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx”

6.8 Restoring Chorus/Linux data, twincpu


It is possible that the Chorus data of certain old releases cannot be reused automatically: manage “netadmin”
by hand in that case.
All modifications in netadmin must be carried on twin cpu (netadmin menu: copy to or from twincpu)

7 INSTALLING & CHECKING Actis files


The procedure for installing OPS files puts together the following steps: RUNMAO, translation of the database
and installation of the OPS files.

7.1 Procedure
Copy the OPS files using "ftp" in the directory /usr4/BACKUP/OPS.
Use the menu swinst/OPS configuration.
The progress of the different translations is not visible on the screen.
At the end of the procedure, the operator is asked whether they wish to start the telephone. Answer NO.
Reboot the Call server.

7.2 Checks on physical CPUs


Check the coherence of the lock file compared to the database using the command spadmin:

OmniPCX Enterprise - Release 12.3.1


Release Note & Installation procedure for OmniPCX Enterprise R12.3.1 Released version M4.501.12 .A TC2632en-ed.04
Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 31/135
 Select 1 Display current counters. The "Panic flag" should be at zero.
 Select 2 Display active file if System CPU-Id not found is displayed. This means that the CPU_ID of the
CPU used does not correspond to the CPU_ID defined in the software.mao license file. This situation is
normal if you have chosen to prepare the migration on a laboratory CPU.
 Select 3 Check active file coherency. The test should reply File OK.

7.3 Checks on virtualization


Important documents:
TBE043 - OT Suite for MLE - Virtualization Design Guide
TC2431 Virtualization: OXE configuration related to OXE releases and ESXi infrastructure versions

In case the cpu is installed in an esx or KVM environment the check of the cpu-id gives back “Your System
CPU-Id: -no-hard-key-“
The “swk” file contains a “K….” value instead that is the name of the file installed on the flex server. That file
on the flex server will contain the identification of the dongle. So, it is not possible to do this kind of check.
In spadmin, menu “Display current counters” verify that the first info is:

Meaning that everything is ok:


Flex server is reached & dongle is controlled
“Panic RTR Check” relates to the Cloud Connect feature appeared in R12.0)

Checks when a remote dongle is configured:


It is not possible to see if the system is equipped with a remote dongle. Checks must be done on the flex
server itself. Flex has a very specific way of handling dongle disconnections & extractions: look at the pre-
sales documentation for more details.

7.4 Checks on Cloud Connected system


See above in “spadmin” tool: Panic RTR Check should be 0 as well as “PANIC Flag”

8 CLIENT INFORMATION
The purpose of this section is to specify the changes in ergonomics or operation that will be visible or available
to users after changing version.

 Storage of no replied ISDN calls on all sets with display: 4011, 4012, 4023, 4034, 4010, 4020, 4035.
 Attendants
 Call between attendants.
 New call statistic distribution.
 4040 set
 This set is no more supported from Release 3.
 UA 3G sets
 Following a translation, the existing 3G sets remain in 2G mode emulation. Their change (where
appropriate) to 3G mode is done by management (Users). The UA 3G sets created from Release 3.2
are in 3G mode by default.

9 SYSTEM MANAGEMENT

9.1 General
Declare the automatic start-up of the telephone in swinst
Manage date/time in swinst (use “ntp” feature if possible)

In case of virtualization manage the ESX in order to be sure that all VM will restart automatically if the server
reboots (vSphere client management)
Make sure that a periodic backup of the database is programmed (“swinst”)

X25 networks:
IP routing is handled by the "gated" or “routed” processes and can only operate if the same process is
validated for all the nodes. Pay special attention to the nodes in previous versions using the "routed" process.
These two processes are not compliant between them. In a network in Release 3.2, manage the same routing
protocol (RIP2 or RSL) on all the machines

9.2 Special case of IO2N boards (CPU7s2/ CPU8)


CAUTION
 IO2 boards are phase-out and cannot work from R12.0
 CPU6 & CPU7s1 are no more supported

OmniPCX Enterprise - Release 12.3.1


Release Note & Installation procedure for OmniPCX Enterprise R12.3.1 Released version M4.501.12 .A TC2632en-ed.04
Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 36/135
 On a duplicated installation, if an IO2N is declared in the database, it is essential that it be present when
starting up, otherwise the CPU will not restart. In fact, telephone signaling is now processed by the IO2N
when present (otherwise it is processed by the IO1 module of the CPU as in previous versions). It is
however possible to start without IO2N using the command “RUNTEL -DNOIO2” as mtcl user. This
should only be a temporary mode.
 If this first start-up is carried out on a model, put in place at least one UA or Z coupler in place of a UA or
Z coupler of the site as this will allow the correct operation of the IO1 or the IO2N to be checked.

9.3 Integrated WebBasedManagement


WBM was tested on:
 Windows 10 Enterprise 32 bits, Windows 10 Professional 64-bit, Windows 7 Professional 32-bit and
64-bit versions
 Windows 8.1 Pro 32-bit and 64-bit versions
 Windows XP SP3 and Windows Vista Business Edition
 Windows 2012 R2 (64-bit)
 Compatibility with Win2016 Server (64-bit)
 compatible with VMware ESXi 5.5

Browsers supported are the following (make sure to always have the latest version):
 Chrome
 FireFox
 Edge (on Windows 8/8.1/10 64bits)

10 COMPULSORY MINIMUM ADDITIONAL DATABASE MANAGEMENT

10.1 Reminders
Management of the number of transits.
There is a parameter used to define a number of transits for a same call across the network. This is a
protection used to avoid call looping.
Procedure:
 Access path : System
 Attribute : Number of transit PABX
 Manage the parameter with a value identical to the number of network nodes.
CAUTION: If this parameter is zero, call transit will not work.

Optimizing the routing in network


To optimize a network, you must create a PABX address in DPNSS (Local Features) prefix. This prefix must
correspond to a directory number that has not been created in the installation.
For each machine, create a PABX address in DPNSS prefix and as many network prefixes corresponding to
the DPNSS addresses of the other machines as there are remote machines.
Example: System with four nodes.
Each node has its PABX address prefix and each will have three network prefixes corresponding to the
different PABX addresses of the three other machines.

OmniPCX Enterprise - Release 12.3.1


Release Note & Installation procedure for OmniPCX Enterprise R12.3.1 Released version M4.501.12 .A TC2632en-ed.04
Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 37/135
10.2 Reminder for ABC networked sites migrating from Release < 7.x
As of Release 7.0, a new feature is used to display the names with UTF-8 format (long names and for non
Latin languages: Chinese, Korean, Japanese).
In ABC-F2 network functioning, from RELEASE 11.0 the name in UTF-8 format is used in the network
according to the setting of the Enable UTF8 in ABCF network system parameter (default value True).

This information is accepted only from the following versions:


 R6.2 : F3.301.16.e (patch for compatibility UTF-8)
 R6.1.1 : F2.502.12.d (patch for compatibility UTF-8)
 R6.0.1 : F1.603.1.aa (patch for compatibility UTF-8)

If RELEASE 12.0 is functioning in ABC-F2 network with nodes the versions of which are lower than those
mentioned previously (case of temporary phase of migration with R5.0 Ux, R5.x, R6.x), you must set the
Enable UTF8 in ABCF network system parameter to False on nodes where RELEASE is => 11.0 otherwise
the calls through the network don't work.

Warning In a network, if a node is declared XL ("Large Capacity"), each node of the network must be in Release 8.x.
minimum

The system parameter Direct RTP must be enabled in all nodes of the sub-network as soon as one node is
migrated in RELEASE 11.0

10.3 Important management if IO2N is present


To solve traffic issues on CPU7s2 (issues related to CPUs crash or peripheral racks rebooting, issue that could
also be seen in CPU8) the signaling to IO2 must be changed. Notice that this management can be done for
any configuration even with very low traffic with no impact on the system.

On ACT0:
2 ways of changing the signaling:
signaling channel for ACT0 only must be as follows:
 Signaling mode = IO2 instead of Nx64
 Signaling Channel N64 Size = 8 instead of 4
Access path
Shelf 0/Signaling mode: IO2
Shelf 0/Signaling Channel N64 Size: 8
Or
signaling channel for ACT0 only must be as follows:
 Signaling mode = Ethernet instead of Nx64
Access path: Shelf 0/Signaling mode: Ethernet
This management must be followed by a reboot of the installation.

For the remote shelves:

OmniPCX Enterprise - Release 12.3.1


Release Note & Installation procedure for OmniPCX Enterprise R12.3.1 Released version M4.501.12.A TC2632en-ed.04
Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 38/135
apply the same management: Signaling mode = IO2 with only 4 channels. Don’t exceed the 60 channels of
the board. Include the 8 channels used for duplication in crystal 0.

Note The IO2N board must be at the minimal edition 07. Refer to the technical communication TC0567 Reboot of
the CPU board after an inopportune shutdown of IO2N board.

10.4 Important management with sets (noe3Gs, 8018)


By default, an OXE with a default database is configured to use G723
But new generation of IP Phones like 8018, 8058s… do not support the G723.
In consequence, the communication gets no audio.
Changing the system compression defaults immediately fixed the problem.

10.5 Synchronization

Warning The ACT 99 does not allow synchronization to be passed up to the CPU.

In the event of common hardware, one cannot use a T0 board behind a MEX to synchronize the shelf.

Warning For migration of a Crystal CPU to an Appliance Server, it is compulsory to change synchronization
management to IP domain type. The synchro priority value must be between 200 and 254; see technical
communication TC0779 Synchronization of the system after migration to OmniPCX Enterprise with
Appliance Server.

10.6 Some system parameters to check


Use the command “compvisu” to display some of those parameters.

10.6.1 Direct RTP

Note In this document, "Direct RTP" corresponds to "Direct RTP in network".

In all nodes of the sub-network the Direct RTP parameter must be set to Yes.
From OmniPCX Enterprise R11.0, this parameter is removed (validated by default).

10.6.2 Frame VoIP (Enhanced quality voice)


The Frame VoIP parameter (Enhanced quality voice in previous versions) must be identical on each node
of a network.
It is better to use the Framing 20 ms for G711 or G729.

OmniPCX Enterprise - Release 12.3.1


Release Note & Installation procedure for OmniPCX Enterprise R12.3.1 Released version M4.501.12.A TC2632en-ed.04
Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 39/135
G723 can only do 30 ms.

10.6.3 Direct RTP for H323 terminals


This parameter must be set to No if only one H323 terminal of the installation does not support the direct RTP

10.6.4 Inter-node protocol H323


The “H323 Inter-node protocol” parameter must be set to Yes in all nodes of the sub-network. In an OmniPCX
Enterprise R11.0 system, this parameter is removed (validated by default).

10.6.5 tftp (oxe)


OXE tftp can be tuned in some circumstances (eg: big files to transfer)
mgr -> IP -> IP Parameters -> Review/Modify: IP Parameters -> TFTP Max Block Size
mgr -> IP -> IP Parameters -> Review/Modify: IP Parameters -> TFTP Retransmission Timer

11 STARTING UP THE CPU IN ITS ENVIRONMENT ON SITE


CAUTION IN DUPLICATION STATE:
Do not proceed by switchover for 2 different releases: a complete stop of the telephony is required. It is not
recommended also to proceed by “bascul” when installing a static patch though there is no clear rule
established. During that time (patch n & patch n+1 on main & stand-by), the command “twin” may return the
status “KO” for the “memloader” check.

Complete system start-up: this will allow to download automatically the new firmware of the couplers and to
avoid having memory issues (as mentioned above).

11.1 Download of couplers and sets


The first start-up of the CPU in its site environment requires particular attention since the couplers will be
downloaded with a new firmware.
To download the INT1B couplers, they must be removed from the secondary ACTs and put in place of the
INT1A couplers of the main ACT.
Use the “downstat” command to monitor the evolution of the coupler downloading. The CPU ensures 25
downloads simultaneously. The state of a coupler during downloading is RUNNING 1.
Use the “downstat d” command to obtain boards that have to be downloaded
Use the “downstat v cr cpl” command to display 'binaries' version for a coupler
It is possible to program an automatic reset of the couplers with the option 'r'.
Reset manually the UA32 or eUA32 boards of shelf 0 if they do not start (do not concern OmniPCX Enterprise
with common hardware or controlled by an Appliance Server).
Use the “downstat i” command to monitor the evolution of IP Phones (e-Reflexes, IP Touch series 8)
downloading.
Use the “downstat t” command to monitor the evolution of IP Touch TDM (series 9) downloading.

OmniPCX Enterprise - Release 12.3.1


Release Note & Installation procedure for OmniPCX Enterprise R12.3.1 Released version M4.501.12 .A TC2632en-ed.04
Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 40/135
Note 8082 sets in NOE mode & also new noe3G/Premium sets can do upgrades in background mode: once the
download is finished the set will reboot. If a communication is already established, the process will wait for
the communication to end.

IPV6 feature: sets in pure ipv6 network will get their binaries from the OST64 virtual machine: the OST64
must be rebooted in order to perform the correct download mechanism.

11.2 8088 Android upgrade


Upgrade mechanism through the Cloud is done by management.
Notice that Android 8088 sets cannot be downgraded even if re-installed on a lower OXE version.

11.3 SIP sets upgrade


Operation must be carried by 8770 Device Manager. Check on the Business Portal for latest versions of SIP
sets.

11.4 Moving from CPU7s1/2 to a CPU8


Warning about the embedded ethernet interface that does not exist anymore.

12 CHECKING CORRECT OPERATION


 Check synchronization.
Ensure that the real synchronization plan corresponds to the managed synchronization plan. Use the
command “infocs” or “clockstat”.
 Check the distribution of calls to attendants.
 Check the ARS & VPN: use “lookars” & “lookvpn” embedded OXE tools.
 Check that all sets & couplers are correctly in service & downloaded & sets are in service: use the different
commands “downstat”, “config”, “listerm” with the correct arguments (help available)
o For noe sets use “downstat i” & “tftp_check -c” tools
 Check the coherence of the files (Suspicion of errors during file transfer: ftp must be set to “binary”
mode).

BUGFIX: 00343919, Unable to copy the “contact card settings” from 4059EE

15.2.1.2 Disable Oxe phonebook ldap overflow when 4059ee performs a call by name query
Until OXE release M3, OXE doesn’t have an option to control the overflow to LDAP server for the dial by name
request from 4059EE attendant. From M4, the system option “LDAP Direct Access 4059” is modified as “4059
Directory Search” to have the control to disable the overflow to LDAP server for the dial by name request from
4059EE attendant.
This feature allows the administrator of OXE to disable the overflow to LDAP server for the dial by name
request from 4059EE attendant.

Existing Behavior
4059EE attendant has an option to contact LDAP server directly for dial by name request. In this case,
attendant will get the same result twice for a dial by name request, one from OXE (overflowed to LDAP server)
and another one from LDAP server directly.
The system option “LDAP Direct Access 4059” is of Boolean data type and can be configured as True/False.
* If set to True, OXE will search directly in LDAP server instead of searching in local directory.
* If set to False, OXE will search first in local directory, if no result found for the request then it will be
overflowed to LDAP server.

Enhancement
For this feature the name of the system option is modified to “4059 Directory Search” and the data type is
changed & can hold values 0/1/2.
 If set to “in local dir and LDAP(overflow)” (0), OXE will search in the local directories and LDAP server
(overflow) for the dial by name request from 4059EE attendant.
 If set to “in LDAP server” (1), OXE will search directly in the LDAP server for the dial by name request
from 4059EE attendant.
 If set to “in local directory” (2), OXE will only search in the local directories for the dial by name
request from 4059EE attendant.
Note: The external number dialed by 4059EE attendant which is received from LDAP server (8770 application)
should have proper trunk group seizure prefix added with the number. If the number does not have proper
prefix then OXE will throw the error “Wrong number”.

15.2.1.3 Greeting guide when calling Hunt Group
This feature provides the possibility to play a dynamic voice guide (like presentation guide) instead of ring
back tone to the internal caller while calling to the hunt group. Feature do not concern external calls!!

For this feature, a new parameter “Greeting Guide” is introduced in the hunt group configuration to configure
the guide number which will be played to the caller. The default value of this parameter is 0.
· If the guide number is 0, then ring back tone is played to the caller while calling to the hunt group.
· If a valid guide number (static or dynamic) is configured, then that guide is played to the caller while calling
to the hunt group.
In “Network Hunt Group”, the configured guide should be present in the network nodes with same guide
number.
Note: A backup tone must be configured if there is no voice guide in the media gateway.

The hunt group rotational timer 36 needs to be configured as multiples of voice guide duration to avoid the
interrupts while playing the guide to the caller.

15.2.1.4 Hunt group should take care of "busy camp-on" setting of user in multiline
configuration
Existing Behavior
A multiline user of a hunt group can have one incoming call in each of their lines.
If the system parameter “No Multi-line call in PCX” is set as 0, irrespective of the type of call (personal/group)
with which the user is busy with the first line, the second incoming call will reach the user and it will be ringing
in the second line.
If the system parameter “No Multi-line call in PCX” is set as 1 and the user is busy, irrespective of the type of
call (personal/group) with which the user is busy with the first line, then the incoming call will reach the next
user in the group. If all the other sets are busy, then the call will anyhow show up on a multiline key on this
set.
Waiting and overflow mechanism
When the call can’t be distributed on a set, then parameter "Authorized Camp on calls %" is considered. It
determines the number of calls that can be camped on and calls will wait accordingly. When the number of
“authorized camp on calls” is reached,
then overflow of hunt group is followed. This waiting and overflow mechanism has not been changed with this
feature
 Example with “No Multi-line call in PCX” =1
Consider a hunt group A with two multiline users X and Y.
· If both users are busy with a call on one of their lines and a 3rdhuntgroup call reaches huntgroup A, the call
will be routed to 2nd multiline of user X.
· If user X is busy with 2 calls and user Y is busy with one call, the 4th huntgroup call will be routed to 2nd
multiline of user Y.

Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 54/135
If user X is busy with 2 calls and user Y is busy with 2 calls, then the 5th huntgroup call will be routed to
waiting and overflow mechanism.

Enhancement
Since the incoming calls are waiting in the second or other multiple lines of the multiline user, there are many
chances of losing those waiting calls unattended till the first call ends.
In order to keep the multiline users of the hunt group busy with one call, a new value of 2 has been
introduced to the existing system parameter “Multi-line call in PCX” and the name of the system parameter
has been changed to “No Multi-line call in PCX”.
The value of the parameter “No Multi-line call in PCX” is defined in the following table.

Values and their corresponding definition of the parameter

- This feature is applicable for the hunt group types cyclic and sequential, but not parallel.
- When system parameter “No Multi-line call in PCX” is configured as “2”, the call will not reach the tandem
set, when the other tandem is busy, irrespective of tandem partial busy parameter.
- When system parameter “No Multi-line call in PCX” is configured as “2”, the priority call configuration is
not recommended. If configured, calls will be placed on the multi-lines as per already existing architecture.

15.2.1.5 LDAP overflow using LDAPS


Service provided by the feature
To provide an option to secure the connection between OXE Telephone Server and LDAP Directory Server.
This can be possible using following two ways:

OmniPCX Enterprise - Release 12.3.1


Release Note & Installation procedure for OmniPCX Enterprise R12.3.1 Released version M4.501.12 .A TC2632en-ed.04
Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 57/135
To support the use of URL schema, “ldaps:\\...”, that directly connects to the secured port 636 on
LDAP Server.
To support LDAP over TLS that establishes LDAP connection in clear mode on default port (389) and
switch into a secure TLS connection

The Call-By-Name feature in OXE provides a service to search the external directory from the Call Server
through an overflow from the current phonebook through LDAP. The external server is called as LDAP server.
This is possible through a softkey “search book” which gives direct access to the external directory search
from the user terminal. If search hits are found in the local phone book, then this key permits to trigger a
search for an UA user. If no hits are found on the local phone book, then it’s automatically done on the
external server. Only telephone numbers that comes from the search on the external directory is processed.

Existing Behavior
The existing connection between the OXE Telephony Server and the LDAP Directory Server uses clear mode of
connection to communicate (refer Fig 1). Using the clear mode of connection to the LDAP Directory server
does not provides a secure connection. Likewise, a number of LDAP servers can communicate to the OXE
through unsecured connection (anonymous).

Enhancement
The enhancement of the feature includes OXE Telephony server to use a secure connection to LDAP Directory
Server. The connection must be secured by TLS (refer Fig 2). There are two ways to secure LDAP connections
with SSL/TLS:
 LDAP connections that needed to be secured are handled on a separate secured port, typically 636.
The entire connection is wrapped with SSL/TLS. This process, called LDAP over SSL, uses the URL
schema ldaps:// protocol.
 STARTTLS is an alternative approach that is now the preferred method of securing an LDAP
connection. STARTTLS upgrades a clear connection by wrapping it with SSL/TLS after/during the

OmniPCX Enterprise - Release 12.3.1


Release Note & Installation procedure for OmniPCX Enterprise R12.3.1 Released version M4.501.12 .A TC2632en-ed.04
Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 58/135
connection process. This allows clear and secured connections to be handled by the same port (This
utilizes STARTTLS to encrypt connections).
MGR Management
To select the mode of connection, a new option “Mode of Connection” is introduced in mgr->Application -
>LDAP Phone Book which has three values:
 Clear – This mode allows OXE to establish LDAP connection in clear mode on default port (389).
 LDAP over TLS – This mode allows OXE to establish LDAP connection in clear mode on default port
(389) and switch into a secure TLS connection.
 LDAPS – This mode allows OXE to establish secured LDAP connection on the dedicated server port,
636 (secured).

PKI Management
For server authentication purpose, it is needed to import the certificate of LDAP server in OXE. Netadmin is
used to import the certificate. (Refer [3])
To save the LDAP server CTL to OXE’s trust store user can go to “netadmin --> 11.Security --> 11. PKI
Management --> 3. Endpoint CTL (Trust Store)”, and provide the file path to the server CTL file, if this path is
not valid then the save operation will fail. The LDAP Directory Server’s CTL file to be imported into OXE must
have the complete CA chain that can verify all the LDAP Directory Server's Certificate during connection. This
information will not be added to OXE’s lanpbx file and it will be available only in OXE’s trust store.

LDAP Server Management


To enable the remote LDAP server to establish the connection with the OXE over SSL/TLS, below points are
important:
1. LDAP server is capable to establish the connection over SSL/TLS.
2. LDAP server has CA that can be either external or self-signed, which is later imported to OXE’s trust store
list.
3. LDAP server is managed to communicate with OXE over SSL/TLS.
8770 application can be configured as a LDAP server.

Interactions with other OXE releases


LDAP or LDAP over TLS should not be activated on a node within a heterogeneous ABCF network (when all the
nodes in a network are not in the version R 12.3). If done, it requires a manual change in the port number
after diffusion.

15.2.1.6 OMS and PCS interworking support


When a PCS is rescuing an OMS in absence of Main CPU, OMS is going for soft reset (i.e. Voice context are
released but VM is not rebooted) and will connect to PCS. When the Main node comes up the OXE-MS to go
for a hard reset (i.e.VM is rebooted) and connect to PCS.
PCS connection can be established in clear mode or in cipher mode if native encryption has been activated on
the node

15.2.1.7 Sip trunk recording (R12.3.1)


SIP trunk recording is required typically as an alternative to DRLink and T2 recording.
The solution allows a SBC that is between a SIP trunk provider and OXE SIP trunk to fork media to a Recorder
(eg OPCXR). The SIP REC standard is used between the SBC and the Recorder.
The requirement is that OXE generates a Global CAll ID to SBC (through SIP) and to Recorder (through CSTA
monitoring of the called set - Noé or SIP) on an incoming call, so that the recorder can track the call
evolutions (transfer, forwarding, conf call)
This is already done with T2 recording (using Time Slot + Global Call ID)
The solution should work with OPCXR and OTSBC but also with 3rd party recorder and SBC.
Should address both business and CC devices.

15.2.1.8 Voice flow duplication for IP DR Link (R12.3.1)

The aim of this development is to provide the possibility to record the conversation of an IP user by two
different IP DR-Link at the same time in order to secure the recording of conversations in two different IP-
Logger.

OmniPCX Enterprise - Release 12.3.1


Release Note & Installation procedure for OmniPCX Enterprise R12.3.1 Released version M4.501.12 .A TC2632en-ed.04
Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 60/135
The limit of only one DR-Link authorized to monitor a specified IP user is cancelled. There is now no limit to the
number of DR-Link authorized to monitor a specified IP user.

Booth DR-Link, which record the same conversation of an IP user, work independently. Each of them
starts/stops his own recording with or without play his own beep or guide.

The only interaction is that if one DR-Link asked first to play a beep or a guide, the request to play a beep or a
guide by the second DR-Link will be accepted without the beep or the guide being really played. In addition, if
the first DR-Link asks to stop playing his beep or guide, the beep, if managed, of the second DR-Link will be
started whereas the guide, if managed, will not be started.

This feature needs a modification of the software of the NOE IP set so that it can send its voice flow to two IP
DR Link at the same time. To limit this impact, it has been decided that this duplication will be available only on
all NOE 3G EE IPTOUCH (8008, 8018, 8028s, 8058s, 8068s, 8078s) with version NOE 3G EE from R500
5.40.09 and from IPDSP version 11.2.0.

There is no new management parameter to enable/disable this feature. If conditions are fulfilled, the
duplication by a second IP DR-Link is available that is to say when an IP DR-Link records firstly the IP user
associated with the right type of NOE set.

Therefore, cases, where duplication is not authorized, are:

 a DR-Link using a TDM-Logger already records the IP user.


 an IP DR-link already records the IP User but the type of his set is not 8008, 8018, 8028s, 8058s,
8068s, 8078s or IPDSP.
 There is already two IP DR-Link which record conversation of an IP user.

And if an IP DR-Link records firstly an IP user, a TDM DR-Link cannot ask to record this IP user.
For all these unauthorized cases, the service is rejected.

Software lock 130


Depending the value of the software lock 130 named CSTA voice recording type, one NICE (value 1), one DR-
Link (value 2), several NICE (value 3) or several DR-Link (value 4) could be connected to the same OXE.

To be able to execute a voice flow duplication, it is necessary to have at least two IP DR-Link connected to the
OXE. Then the value of the software lock 130 should be equal to 3 (several NICE) or equal to 4 (several DR-
Link). And consequently, when two DR-Link records the conversation of an IP user, they are automatically of
the same type, two NICE or two DR-Link.

Recording Software locks


To record a IP user, an IP DR-Link consumes two locks:
 one for monitoring: PARA_MAO 21 named DR-Link
 one for recording: Software lock 334 named “Max. IP recording”
In the case of a duplication, 2 x each previous locks are obviously consumed. It is therefore important to take
into account this situation during the definition of the software locks by ACTIS for an OXE where voice flow
duplication could be activated.

15.2.1.9 Waiting Message Indicator synchronization (R12.3.1)
OXE advanced call-log is not synchronized with MWI, in other terms, an unanswered call can create an
entry in the OXE call-log but will not trigger the MWI on the set. When the call arrives while the user is
away from his desk, nothing will indicate him that he missed a call during his absence.

The request is thus to trigger MWI when a user has unanswered and not yet consulted entries in the
advanced call-log.

Feature description summary


Existing Behavior:
1. All the answered/unanswered calls that have been stored in call log are displayed in regular
font. They do not affect the message icon operations and message icon will lit based on non-
replied calls list.
2. Unanswered calls to a busy set are not stored in the internal unanswered call list and
Message icon will not be lit.
3. Non-replied calls list are stored only in memory, at reboot they will be lost. When the
Telephony comes up again message icon is not lit as the non-replied calls list is empty.
Enhancement:
1. For a NOE device if the call log access rights are true then the internal/external unanswered calls
list won’t be available. The message icon is now in synchronization with call log. For a NOE device if
the call log access rights are false then the internal/external unanswered calls list will be available.
The message icon is now in synchronization with internal/external unanswered calls.
2. If the user has not accessed the unanswered calls at least once, those entries will be displayed in
“bold font” in the call log, once accessed into call log detailed view the font will be changed to regular.
3. Incoming unanswered call to an idle set is stored in the advanced call log and Message icon will be
lit.
4. Incoming calls for busy sets (by CROXE-3916) and OOS sets (by CROXE-6875), call record will be
stored in advanced call log and Message icon will be lit.
5. The call log is stored in database and memory also. Since it is available in database, it will be
loaded in to memory after reboot. So the message icon status will be retained even after reboot.
Restrictions:
Synchronization of OXE MWI and advanced call-log feature will be limited for NOE sets.

15.2.2 CCD

15.2.2.1 Support of 8019s – Leftovers (proACD agent)


With this feature, 8019 sets will support Pro-ACD (tested on CCS version 10.9.93.0)

15.2.2.2 Integrated Call Log on CCD Operator


The aim of this development is to provide the OXE Integrated Call Log feature to CCD agents logged on all
types of Pro-ACD NOE set and all types of Pro-ACD DECT. To this, business Call Log must be added Call Logs
associated to specific CCD use cases on CCD agents.
Note that the feature “Long press on green button to get in to call log menu in AGAP DECT set” is available on
DECT CCD agents

15.2.3 Cloud Connect/Fleet dashboard

15.2.3.1 Remote management capabilities through Fleet Dashboard (NOT released in


R12.3.1)
A remote connection to the OXE is possible with the fleet dashboard. Management & maintenance will be
possible as well as with a regular system terminal.
History of those remote connections will be implemented in a further version of the Fleet DB (history details
not on oxe side).
The terminal is not detachable.
Vertical scrolling bar is present but not horizontal.
A valid SPS contract must also be activated for the concerned system.

15.2.4 Dect

15.2.4.1 SUOTA on 82X2 DECT handsets


This functionality provides the possibility to upgrade DECT handsets software over the air.
Only one communication channel can be opened at a time with a handset. Audio communication is preferred
over downloading; that means that a software download is stopped during an audio communication and will
resume later.
The load of the DECT system is considered to decide the order of the downloads and the number of
downloads that can be done in parallel. The number of simultaneous downloads on the same base station
must be limited to keep free slots for voice calls.

Tools:
Tools are provided to display information about the handsets firmware, the downloads in progress and to
allow to download a specific handset or a group of handsets.
Tool to use is “downstat m” with the following menus:

SUOTA is activated in oxe management:
mgr -> PWT/DECT System -> R/M -> Allow auto FW update of sets
As soon as it is set to YES the download will start

Important Notice:
SUOTA can only operate with minimum dect sets firmware when presence of EHO or dect2.4.4HB boards

Compatibility with EHO (External Handover): on a customer site configured for EHO, 82x2 DECT
handsets must have a minimum SW version to operate correctly during the download of the SW over the
air. If SUOTA is enabled on a site where External handover is activated and firmware versions of the DECT
handsets are "old", DECT end users will lose some functionality during the SW download step of the SUOTA
process:

o incoming calls are working correctly: the download is paused in order to be able to take the
incoming call.
o EHO is transparent to the user
o BUT it is not possible to do any action on the handset (go in menu, do an outgoing call)

 deactivate External Handover (EHO), during all the SUOTA phase, if DECT handsets don't have the
right SW version (it is the case for all customer site systems). This management is dynamic.

Once the firmware upgrade is done EHO can be put back to its original state & this operation will NOT
be done again with further firmware.

Minimum SW versions for compatibility with EHO

Minimum SW version (compatibility with


DECT Handset
EHO)

8212 v0011b0002
8232 v4283b0001
8242 v6282b0002
8262 v5581b0001
8262Ex v7581b0001

In case of EHO and older SW versions, the SW upgrade strategy with the customer could
be:
o Either temporarily deactivate EHO at the customer site until all 82x2 handsets have been
upgraded (loss of handover).

Download status is represented by the 2 last columns.

“download status” has 3 important fields:

1. Mode (A, X, M)
a. A Automatic download: the set is in automatic mode. System automatically updates the set if
it is not in the current pbx release.
b. X This set is excluded from automatic mode. It will NOT be updated by the system.
c. M The set was excluded from the automatic mode. A manual download was launched through
“downstat m” menu 4.
2. Percentage: either 0.0% if the set has no current download or the actual percentage of progress.
3. Automaton state: a label that is just showing the state of download.
a. IDLE: virtual state for a bigger real state. The set stays like this until the system decided to
load a new firmware. Can mean that the set is powered off or is out of coverage …
b. ERASE REQUESTED: system asked to the set to prepare the memory flash zone for the new
firmware downloaded. Eventually telling to put the set back on his cradle: "charger required".
c. WRITING: system is in the phase of downloading the new firmware
d. PAUSED: temporarily stopped for seral reasons … (like the set is not available for the
moment, out of coverage, in communication …) The system is waiting to continue the upload
e. WAIT FOR FLASHING: indicates that the system asked to the set to start the new firmware.
The set needs to be put on his cradle & powered on.
f. ERROR: the protocol failed in automatic mode & the set will be downloaded again later.
There is not further information.

Duration of the SW upgrade: Due to the low bandwidth data channel used, it takes several hours for each
handset to download a new SW version. The download process cannot take more than half of the channels
per station.
Hereafter is an estimated information of the time to upload. Those durations are given under best traffic
conditions.
SUOTA is interrupted if the handset is in use & too many channels on base stations are used.
Download duration depends on the handset activity, base stations activity, handset localization

Binary size to
upload Estimated upload time
Dect handset (1 Mb) (best situation)
8212 0,9 ~ 6h
8232 1 ~6 h
8242 2 ~9h
8262/62EX/BGR 1,7 ~ 9h

Duration of the global upgrade process for a complete site: It is difficult to estimate the total amount
of time needed to upgrade all 82x2 DECT handsets to new SW versions as it depends on several parameters:
o Ratio of the number of handsets to the number of base stations
o Flat distribution of the 82x2 handsets over the base stations or concentrated under a few ones.
o Ratio of 8232 handsets which are a little slower to download the SW
o Reserved channels for alarms activated or not
Due to that fact the total duration on a site could take a whole week.

Retrieving versions of the sets: use the following mtcl command to view the versions of the compatible
dect sets (no MRxxx) & how many there are
dectsets | grep -E "V." | grep -v MR | awk '{FS=" "}{print $(NF - 3)" "$(NF - 2)}' | sort | uniq -c
example of output:

Important Allow auto FW update of sets: SUOTA is set to YES for a new database & does not change its state

15.2.6.2 DNS tools “host”, “dig” & “nslookup” (R12.3.1)
Extract from “linux.die.net” …

Tool “dig”
dig (domain information groper) is a flexible tool for interrogating DNS name servers. It performs DNS
lookups and displays the answers that are returned from the name server(s) that were queried. Most DNS
administrators use dig to troubleshoot DNS problems because of its flexibility, ease of use and clarity of
output. Other lookup tools tend to have less functionality than dig …

Tool “host”
host is a simple utility for performing DNS lookups. It is normally used to convert names to IP addresses and
vice versa. When no arguments or options are given, host prints a short summary of its command line
arguments and options.

Tool “nslookup”
Nslookup is a program to query Internet domain name servers. Nslookup has two modes: interactive and
non-interactive. Interactive mode allows the user to query name servers for information about various hosts
and domains or to print a list of hosts in a domain. Non-interactive mode is used to print just the name and
requested information for a host or domain.

This feature upgrades the existing hashing (MD5) algorithm into a stronger hashing (SHA512) algorithm to
store OXE user account passwords.
The scope of this upgrade is for OXE user accounts only. This feature is not applicable to SIP passwords,
SNMP passwords, set passwords and passwords other than admin.
The following accounts are upgraded to have strong hashing algorithm to protect the passwords through this
feature.
mtcl
adfexc
swinst
ppp
root
client
ccfexc

Migration to M4
To upgrade from any release to M4 delivery, any of the following procedures can be followed. Examples below
are taken from a migration M3 to M4

Case 1:
1. Backup the Linux database of installed M3 delivery (R12.2).
2. Install the M4 delivery (R12.3) on inactive partition.
3. After the partition switch, restore the Linux database of M3 (R12.2) on M4 (R12.3).
4. Manually change the OXE user account passwords in order to effect the changes in to the new hashing
algorithm (SHA512). Command to use is “passwd”.
Case 2:
1. Install the M4 delivery (R12.3) on inactive partition.
2. Perform Partition duplication (Linux data) from active partition.
3. After the partition switch, manually change the OXE user account passwords in order to effect the changes
in to the new hashing algorithm (SHA512). Command to use is “passwd”.

15.2.9.2 NEAN (Native Encryption on ABC Network)
There is no interoperability support for this feature with current IP Touch Security solution

Until R12.2 (M3) release, SSM and MSM modules are used to encrypt the IP packets over the network in OXE.
Refer [6] and [8] for more details.
From R12.2 (M3) Native Encryption architecture was introduced to replace the external box based encryption
in stand-alone configuration. DTLS link is used to secure MG and IPP phones. Refer [1] and [2] for more
details.
This feature allows OXE to establish IPsec tunnel between two nodes using IPsec Manager (software
component inside OXE) in order to encrypt the link between them.

Until R12.2 (M3) release, Network encryption in OXE is supported through external boxes. An IPsec tunnel is
created between the boxes that protects OXE. For more details, refer doc [8]. From M4 release onwards, OXE
supports network encryption natively using IPsec, without the help of any other external boxes.

IPsec Manager
New software module is introduced inside OXE to establish the secure IP links (IPsec tunnel). IPsec Manager is
a pure Linux process that interacts with other OXE modules to get the configuration details. BT Link process
interacts with IPsec Manager and provides necessary inputs to enable IPsec manager to establish an IPsec
tunnel between two OXE nodes.

Encryption Icon on an IP Touch Phone


FSNE enabled IP Touch terminals display an icon with lock symbol (Encryption Icon) during conversation.
The encryption icon just indicates whether the IP Touch implements the encryption mechanism. It does not
indicate that the communication is encrypted end to end. For example, if the IP TOUCH is in 3 party
conference, the presence of encryption icon indicates that encryption exists between the IP TOUCH and the
MG where the conference circuit is located; it does not indicate that the phones in the conference are carrying
out encryption.

OmniPCX Enterprise - Release 12.3.1


Release Note & Installation procedure for OmniPCX Enterprise R12.3.1 Released version M4.501.12 .A TC2632en-ed.04
Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 77/135
Hence in case of conference/Intrusion, unlike the local scenario, if any unsecured IP set is involved over the
network, then the encryption icon may not be removed on all the involved secured IP sets.

Port Numbers
IPsec Manager use TCP port 2579 for communicating with BTlink process.
OpenSWAN pluto uses port number 500 for IKE/ISAKMP negotiation with its peer.

IP Link Encryption Parameter


The existing parameter Encryption under mgr > Inter-Nodes Links > Logical Links (ABC-F) > Hybrid Link
Access menu is used for this feature also to enable IP hybrid link encryption.

Direct RTP Parameter


“IP > IP Parameters > Direct RTP and IP > IP Parameters > Direct RTP for H323 terminals” must be set to
true.

Encryption Icon Parameter


“mgr > Alcatel 8&9 Series > Alcatel 8&9 classes of service > Phone COS > Display Encrypted Communication”
parameter allows to display on FSNE enabled IP Touch terminals, a specific conversation icon for encrypted
communications.

SRTP Authentication Parameter


The SRTP Authentication parameter under “mgr >System > Other system Param > Native Encryption”
Parameters should be same on all the involved nodes of the link call.

The following new incidents are introduced for this feature:
6100 … 6106

6100: CRYPTO_UPDATE_CONFIGIPSEC_FAILED
6101: CRYPTO_IPSEC_TCP_LINK_LOSS
6102: CRYPTO_IPSEC_CONNECTION_FAILED

6104: CRYPTO_UPDATE_CONFIGIPSEC_SUCCEEDED
6105: CST CRYPTO_REBOOT_OF_IPSEC_MGR
6106: CST CRYPTO_IPSEC_TUNNEL_UP_DOWND

Tools
The following tools that are used for existing network encryption can be used for this feature also.
- cryptview
In cryptview tool, the list of secured IP links is displayed.
- cryptview com
- cryptview all
- cryptview tab
To check the status of IPsec tunnels
- tunstatus
- ipsec service status

The list of configured ABCF links and their status whether IPsec tunnel is up or down between the configured
ABCF links are shown.
The IKE phase 1, IKE phase 2 and tunnel establishment related logs are stored in /var/log/openswan.log. A
maximum of 5 files are retained and files are rotated when it reaches 25 MB.

Restrictions
- Interoperability with IP touch security solution (Thales box encryption) in same node and also in
network nodes is not supported
- Even though the signaling link between two nodes is encrypted, the H323 session is not encrypted
which is the same behavior as in IP touch security solutions.
- Calls are established in clear mode for IPv6 devices.
- Calls are established in clear mode with IPDECT (Philips/NEC), IP-xBS terminals, SIP extensions,
voicemail, OT applications.
- For seamless set movement between two nodes, the UDP base port must be configured with same
value on both the nodes under the path “mgr->IP->Descend Hierarchy->TSC/IP Parameters
->Review/Modify-> UDP Ports.”
- Change in CA/CS certificate in a node require re-establishment of IPsec tunnels with its peers. IPsec
tunnels in OXE are governed by “Dead Peer Detection (DPD)” mechanism (Keepalive) which detects
the dead peer automatically based on the timeout values (dpdelay=15s, dpdtimeout=60s,
keyingtries=3 times). In OXE based on the default DPD timeout values, it could take up to a maximum
of 10 minutes (approximately) to clean up the existing tunnel with a dead peer. In some cases (IP
address/certificate change, bascul), it may be required to have a quicker turnaround time for clearing

up the tunnels. For such cases, the “tunreset” tool can be used in the peers to reset the tunnel and re-
establish a new one.

15.2.9.3 Native Encryption - Scalability up to 15k (External E-gateway)


To achieve scalability to 15K users in OXE, the encryption Gateway (EGW) is managed in a separate VM
(virtual machine) as External EGW.
The dedicated DL is established between CS and external EGW. This DL is used for UAUDP connection with
EGW and monitor the alive status of EGW. The call server goes for reboot if the connection of external EGW
losses as in the case of Internal EGW.
Endpoint Connection, Node Migration, Media Communications are same as the existing Internal EGW. The only
difference is a dedicated VM is used for EGW.
In case of PCS configuration, Main CS is configured with external EGW to handle up to 15k users and PCS is
configured with internal EGW to handle limited number of users.
To handle large number of users in PCS, External EGW is required. External EGW IP Address for PCS is
configured using parameter “EGW IP Address" of “PCS Addresses” menu in OXE(main).

Restrictions
Feature shall only be available in virtualized system, and then with both CS and EEGW configured behind same
virtual switch. This is applicable for PCS with EEGW also.

IP Ports
Default Listening port for DTLS clients (Both DTLS supported sets & Couplers) is 32643.
This value changes accordingly with Base port configuration in “mgr”.

Installation of External Encryption Gateway


External EGW is installed and configured in OST (OXE Signaling Translator) as a separate virtual machine to
support 15K FSNE users for a CS. In order to ensure security, both CS and External EGW should be configured
in same network. This virtual machine is capable of functioning as either OST64/EGW depending on the user
requirement. For installation procedure refer to system documentation. This gateway has to be installed with
S.O.T. release 2.1 minimum.

15.2.10.1 SIP Trunk TLS for installed base with Thales


The objective of this feature is to support TLS 1.2 and certificates of 4096 bits for SIP Trunk natively while
allowing other devices to work with existing Thales solution.
This feature aims to provide SIP-TLS signaling without the use of IP Touch Security Module

OXE with Thales SIP-TLS

At present in OXE, secure SIP Trunk communications with carrier are done by establishing TLS with the use of
SSM Box through the encrypted port 5061. Currently, the SSM Box does not support TLS version 1.2 and
certificates of 4096 bits

Enhancement
 OXE with Native SIP-TLS
From M4, OXE supports encryption natively without using Thales Modules. For SIP Trunk, TLS is addressed
with feature “Native SIP-TLS for SIP trunk” (Refer [1]). The TLS version 1.2 with certificates of 4096 bits is
also supported with this feature. SIP Motor is in charge of establishing TLS link with Carrier.

Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 82/135
 Native Encryption of SIP Trunk TLS for Installed Base with Thales
This feature enables the Native SIP TLS capability in Thales based architecture.
It provides the facility to secure the SIP trunk by using Thales Module or by Native SIP TLS.
It also allows existing customers with THALES based encryption architecture, to use their SIP trunk to native
SIP TLS [1]. Only the SIP TLS is done natively in OXE while other endpoints such as Terminals/Couplers
continue to be encrypted with the existing Thales module.
The TLS establishment generally occurs through the default encrypted port 5061. However, when Native SIP
TLS is enabled in a Thales encrypted configuration, OXE uses 5261 port and the TLS establishment occurs
through the port 5261.
A new system option “Use Native SIP TLS” is introduced to select Native SIP TLS. When it is enabled, TLS
signaling established directly from OXE (SIP Motor) with carrier by bypassing the SSM box.

Important Note: It is mandatory to configure the OXE destination port as 5261(instead of 5061) in the remote SIP
entity side (example: as per the figure below, the SBC carrier configuration define OXE port as 5261)

OmniPCX Enterprise - Release 12.3.1


Release Note & Installation procedure for OmniPCX Enterprise R12.3.1 Released version M4.501.12.A TC2632en-ed.04
Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 85/135
Calling name When Display name is available When Display name is not available
Basic call From and PAI headers with Display name From and PAI headers with Trunk group
received in setup name if Trunk group name is managed
otherwise with constant string “SIP”
Transit case From and PAI headers with Display name From and PAI headers with Trunk group
received in setup name if Trunk group name is managed
otherwise with constant string “SIP”
Secret call From and PAI headers with Display name From and PAI headers with anonymous
received in setup

The “From and PAI” Display name is never empty and currently there is no control to restrict the Display
name.
The calling number is provided in canonical or not based on the OXE configuration and type of calls.

Enhancement
The requirement is to control the calling name and connected name in SIP messages based on system
options.
With respect to the European GDPR law, it must be possible to filter in OXE, the Calling name and Connected
name transmitted on SIP trunk calls. This ensures that the username of OXE extensions are revealed to the
outside world, or not, depending on the configuration
Feature is not available for SEPLOS.

Thanks to a new option “Send user name in SIP” in External gateway object, the calling and connected name
sent on the SIP trunk during calling or answering a call, follow new rules. It can be configured differently
depending on the expected behavior of each External Gateway. There is no more side effect on main SIP
gateway used for internal calls.

Configuration
The new MAO field “Send user name in SIP” in SIP->External gateways object handles how the user name
part of SIP fields “From” and “PAI” in SIP messages are built.
It can have the following values:
Send user name if available else Trunk Group name
Send user name if available else user number (default value)
Send user name if available else empty
Send Trunk Group name always
Send user number always
Send empty always

The ‘old’ existing system option value of “FROM display name” in:
System->Other System Param->SIP Parameters object, (existing since m1.403)
must be used as initial value of the new field “Send user name in SIP” in existing SIP->External gateways
objects.
The old system option “FROM display name” in System->Other System Param->SIP Parameters object
disappears.

OPUS codec choice
When the Direct RTP is possible for a local call between two IPTouchs, the OXE switching selects the OPUS
codec if the following conditions are met.

For intra-domain call:

 “G722/OPUS algorithm allowed in Intra-domain attribute of the corresponding domain is equal to


“YES”
 Both IPTouchs support OPUS (SWB) codec (*)

For extra-domain call:


 “G722/OPUS algorithm allowed in Extra-domain attribute of the corresponding domain is equal to
“YES”
 Both IPTouchs support OPUS (SWB) codec (*)

(*) The “OPUS allowed” attribute of the corresponding IPTouch is equal to “YES”
The “OPUS allowed” attribute is updated by the IPTouch at initialization time. This attribute is not displayed
by mgr.

Order of priority between OPUS, G722 and G711 codecs


Codec order selection:
OPUS codec is selected if the corresponding conditions are met,
Else, G722 codec is selected if the corresponding conditions are met,
Else, G711 is selected (if “WITHOUT COMPRESSION” is possible).

The selected Codec is sent to IPTouch through START_RTP message.

 Case of GD/OMS new board or installation: it may take several reboots of the boards to load all the
voice guides into that board. Once they are all & completely loaded that process will not start again.
Check the incidents to know how many guides are loaded & if it the download is finished.

Release Note & Installation procedure for OmniPCX Enterprise R12.3.1 Released version M4.501.12 .A TC2632en-ed.04
Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 99/135
This board is not supported in a Rack 3U in central area.
 INTOF2 board.
The mixing of various generation boards is allowed in a same rack but:
- the couplers in relation to the link must be of the same type
- the type of INTOF must be of the same type if the link is doubled or tripled
the INTOFS and INTOF2S are not compatible between them. If changing from INTOFS to INTOF2S, you
should also change the INTOFS which is faced to this board. No consistency check is possible with the
management because each board is part of a different node. Nevertheless, an anomaly will be sent by the
INTOFS2 if the remote coupler is not the same.
 DPT1-2 board.
NPRAE and DPT1-2 boards cannot be used together on the same PCX.

18.4 CCS
R12.3 & R12.3.1 need CCS version 10.10.93.01 – otherwise CCS will not connect to OXE R12.3!!

18.5 CLIP
See previous document for more info about CLIP on Z32 feature.

18.6 Cloud Connect


Remote management capabilities via Cloud Connect (on FleetDashboard)
Fleetdashboard will offer the possibility to have an embedded terminal that can be used for maintenance or
management (“mgr”) usage. Feature to be released later.

18.7 COMMUNICATION SERVERS


18.7.1 Call Server CPU
 Direct connectivity of the Ethernet port of the CS-2/3 to a port of a switch is mandatory.
 Only auto-negotiation mode is supported on the CS-2 board => to be able to operate in Full-duplex,
the port of the switch used for the connection must be configured in auto-negotiation. Otherwise, if
the port of the switch is forced to full-duplex, the CS-2 will be unable to detect the full-duplex
capability of the switch port and will operate in half-duplex. Rule: the port of the switch must be in
auto-negotiation or forced to half-duplex.
 Protection against high broadcast traffic: available on CPU-CS (an incident is emitted) but it is not
manageable.
 As of Release 9.0, CS-2 boards offer Ethernet redundancy with load balancing.
 Hard drive
In a standard installation, the following message is displayed. It states that any hard disk
larger than 80 GB will not be used to its real capacity.

The installation continues automatically after a timeout.


Note: this is a case with PC Installer use (product no more maintained)

CS-3 precaution to extract the board ONLY once the POWER LED on the CPU is RED.
- power OFF the CPU by action on the button on the stiffener.
- Wait for the POWER LED to be RED
- Extract the board
CPU8 precaution to extract the board is to wait 10sec max. after cpu led goes to off.
- Shutdown -h now
- Wait for the message “Press any key to reboot” to be displayed on console
- set OFF the Switch ON/OFF located on the front of the board
- Wait for 10 seconds before extracting the board

In case the board is blocked (no boot, no display on v24 terminal) it is possible to reset the CMOS memory:
move the jumper near the battery to opposite position & move it back (1 sec. is enough to reset the cmos).
Time & date must be set again (tool “swinst”): this information is always lost in case of cmos reset.
Doing a cmos reset by short-circuiting the battery is safe.

Hard disk (CS/CPU7&8) recommendations: only the hard disks provided by Alcatel-Lucent are
compliant; manipulation of the hard disks (exchange of the hard disks etc.) is not recommended because of
the sensitivity of the hard disks; use preferably the second partition for software upgrades (limited:
from 12.0 to 12.0 & above).

18.7.2 G.A.S. (Generic Appliance Server)


To reboot the whole server, it is mandatory to stop FIRST the OXE (“shutdown -h now”) and then stop or
restart the server through Suse.

If the server is not ordered through ALE, check the compatibilities (cross comp. document, Suse & KVM
compatibilities in Suse web site).

A Raid server can be used if correct management is performed at bios level.


!! soft RAID does not work! Only hardware RAID is supported

18.7.3 UPS
An UPS is strongly recommended to secure the system against abnormal stops because of power failure.
The UPS is used to make up for the short cuts of the power supply. If the UPS arrives at the end of the
battery, it tries to notify the Call Server / CPU to which its USB cable is connected. In the event of a long time
of power supply cut, it is necessary to stop the Call Server with the shutdown command.

OmniPCX Enterprise - Release 12.3.1


Release Note & Installation procedure for OmniPCX Enterprise R12.3.1 Released version M4.501.12.A TC2632en-ed.04
Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 101/135
Note GAS does not support feature of shutdown through USB connection from those UPS models. This is planned
in a further release

18.7.4 Blade Center & older CPUs


 Blade Servers are no more compatible as well as other CPUs mentioned in this document
 ACTIS behavior
o Blade: Actis will let people decide what kind of server will be used to migrate to R12.0:
Appliance Server or Virtualization.
o CPU5/6/7s1: Actis will propose a CPU7s2 or CPU8
o CS-1: Actis will propose CS-2 or CS-3 or Appliance Server/GAS depending of the traffic

18.7.5 Passive Communication Server


Updating PCS from version <12.0: disk reformatting is mandatory & needs to be considered before migration.
Installation must be done locally or remotely by using S.O.T. tool (version 2.2 minimum)

Passive Call Server as well as main or stand-by CPU must follow the rules of compatibility meaning that CS-1
CPUs are not compatible
If updating the software (patch or complete version) of a system equipped with PCS, it is necessary to update
the PCS before updating the version of the Central Com Server (constraint related to database compatibility).
If updating the software of PCS, it is necessary to check that this update does not start in the period of
automatic re-synchronization of the database on the PCS (especially if the method used is the scheduled
Remote Download) because this re-synchronization involves an automatic reboot of the PCS.
When SIP set switches on PCS:
 It must register again as the Call Server registrar database is not replicated on the PCS.
 If it is in dynamic mode, a local DHCP server is required.
 In case of CS, the Main and Standby Call Server must not be located in the same rack.
 Do not use SLANX4 but an external switch (LANX16-1 or customer switch) in order to be able to
unplug a Call Server without disturbing other elements.
This feature is supported by the following IP equipment:
SIP sets
Alcatel series 8 sets
Alcatel-Lucent 8082 My IC Phone
GD
GA
INTIP
OXE-MS
IOIP
"IP Touch Security Module" : SSM, MSM

18.7.6 Appliance Servers/ G.A.S. & Bill Of Material (BOM)


BOM of Appliance Servers is no more provided in this document. If needed, check with previous Release Note
(OXE R12.1)
Appliance Servers are no more sold in that form but are still supported in migration if compatible with the
release. Replacement is done through the Generic Appliance Server (G.A.S.) based on existing platforms
3BA27582CDAC (LENOVO X3250-M5 or M6) and 3BA27704CEAB (HP DL20 G9)

Note Notice: in case of migration the ordered server is no more delivered with the software integrated.
If a server is already in an installed OXE version it is possible to migrate to oxe R12.3 (e.g.: a G9 server in
oxe R12.1 wants to migrate to oxe R12.3 This operation will be performed through the inactive partition)

Notice: G.A.S. should be upgraded like the appliance servers where before. When a server is received from
factory, administrators should look for the most advanced OXE version to put at the right level of software

18.8 DECT
Feature ip on xBS is released with following restrictions:
 If a base station was already installed on an oxe node & is transported to be installed on another node
of the same network a factory reset has to be done (manual long push on a dedicated button). This
reset factory can be done on any case where the update of the xBS takes too long time.
 Dect xBS when more than 253 xBS on the same location (contact Technical Support)
 Duration of the SW download for a handset (Step 1): due to the low bandwidth data channel used, it
takes several hours for each handset to download a new SW version.
 Campus: in case a set is away from its location/cpu if that main cpu is switch (main to stand-by) &
dect is in communication voice is cut.
 SUOTA is only available from OXE R12.3.1 (no backport in earlier releases)
 Dect2.4.4HB boards & External Handover cases: see chapter 15.2.4 for firmware compatibilities.

Account “engineer” should only be used to view information. Parameters are pushed from the OXE
and there is no need to do any management directly on the xBS itself.
Modifying those parameters directly on the WBM is strongly NOT recommended

18.9 DIRECTORY
External LDAP Server:
LDAP overflow is available on all sets.
Alcatel-Lucent Premium Deskphones, myIC phone Standart & 40x8/40x9 sets as well as Reflexe/eReflexe have
an "Overflow" softkey.
During a phone book search with LDAP overflow setup, the PCX searches its local phone book the
corresponding entries to the search.
- If the search in the phone book succeeds, only the sets having a "Overflow" softkey can use the
softkey to complete their search in the external LDAP server.
- If the search in the phone book fails, the search overflows towards external LDAP server whatever
the type of set.
The search in the external phone book is a "Begin with" search (the similar entries are not displayed).
The result displays the directory number or if it misses the mobile number (both information are not
displayed). If no number is available, the entry is ignored even it corresponds to the search.
client_ldap was no more available in R8.0.
- In Release 8.0.1, a new client_ldap tool is available. It performs an LDAP search on telnet access.
You don't need any more to give LDAP parameters, such tool uses actual OmniPCX Enterprise
configuration and requires only to specify the Entity Id.

Troubleshooting
You can trace the overflow to external ldap server by phone book process
For the UTF-8 phone book
On OmniPCX Enterprise console launch:
utf8_pbm_tuner output-tty=`tty`
utf8_tuner trace-level=all
For non UTF-8 phone book
On OmniPCX Enterprise console launch:
pbm_tuner output-tty=`tty`
tuner trace-level=all

Search in UTF-8 phone book.


This feature is only available for Premium Deskphones, myIC phone Standart & 40x8/40x9.

Note If the UTF-8 field is completed in user data with the same information as Latin name, the search of name in
the directory, using "Call by name", will give a double result (Latin name + UTF-8 name).

 From R9.1 (I1.605.31), search in internal Phone Book (Call-by-name search) with several results for
internal numbers and abbreviated numbers display first internal number before Abbreviated number in
case of dual entries for a same Name.

18.10 FSNE
When SRTP is activated on SIP trunk, specific constraints apply to the whole network.
There are only 2 configurations allowed:
1) SRTP is allowed in local node
In that case, all hybrid links in the subnetwork must be non-encrypted.
SRTP offer answer mode is true on this node only.
2) SRTP is allowed in all the network
In that case, all hybrid links in the subnetwork must be encrypted.
SRTP offer answer mode is true on all nodes.
In case of several sub-networks, it applies to all.
No TDM link can be used. No TDM trunk between 2 sub networks can be used.

 So be careful when coming from network encryption with SIP in clear mode to SIP trunk with
SRTP. Constraints are stronger.

18.12 IP TOUCH SECURITY FEATURE


The IP Touch Security feature works with a secured patch, delivered in complement of the generic version.
To get this secured patch, a request must be made on Alcatel-Lucent Business Partner Website.
This secured patch has the same name as the generic delivery to which it is referred preceded by the letter S
(for Security).
This secured patch contains only:
Secured binaries for IP Touch series 8
Secured GD binaries likely to encrypt the signaling directly
Secured GD3 / GA3 / INTIP3 binaries likely to encrypt both voice and signaling directly
Binaries for IP Touch Security Module.
The installation of this secured patch is carried out in a second step after installation of the generic
version and patch.
In multi-SSM duplicated configuration:
The 4645 must be on a dedicated CPU protected by a MSM
The encryption of the OmniTouch UC server cannot be done by one of the two SSM but by the use of a MSM
In multi-SSM spatial redundancy configuration (SSM in blocking mode), it is necessary to define a specific link
between IP physical address of each Call Server and main IP address of the other Call Server.
In multi-SSM traditional duplication configuration (only one main address):
During module initialization if the Main address was defined on the plain and cipher port, in established mode
the module considers the Main address on its plain port (in normal state, IP element cannot be at the same
time on the plain port and cipher port)
In a result of the preceding point, the modules must remain in passing mode
Before moving a set of a secured system towards an unsecured system (moved within a ABC network or
changed on another system), unsecured manually the set and remove it from IP network before it recover
again the lanpbx.cfg protected file.

OmniPCX Enterprise - Release 12.3.1


Release Note & Installation procedure for OmniPCX Enterprise R12.3.1 Released version M4.501.12.A TC2632en-ed.04
Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 107/135
After each change of mode (secured / unsecured), Call Server must be restarted.
To customize GD3 / INTIP3B board with Soft-MSM feature (PSKmg), the version 1.2.01 of Security Center has
to be used. GA3 and INTIP3A boards don’t have to be customized and must be configured with Voice MSM
type instead of SoftMSM type (to be used only for GD3 and INTIP3B).
Only boards with SoftMSM type (ie GD3, INTIP3B) are taken into account by software lock 348.
Before activating Soft-MSM feature on a NGP board, it is mandatory for the board to perform an initial boot
without encryption (MG type selected in "Addresses to protect" MAO object).

18.13 MEDIA GATEWAY


18.13.1 GD/GA boards
 Direct connectivity of the Ethernet port of these boards to a port of a switch is mandatory.
 By default, dynamic IP addressing is active (DHCP) on a GD board.
 The GA board does not support DHCP feature.
 If the GD supports H323 links, a static IP address must be assigned to the GD.
 Due to the possibility of the GD to encrypt directly its signaling link, two versions of GD binaries are
available from Release 9.0: one containing the encryption mechanisms and one without. As for the IP
Touch sets since Release 6.2, the generic OmniPCX Enterprise versions provide the binaries without
the encryption mechanisms, whereas the binaries with these mechanisms will be available in the
corresponding secured patch.
 GD/GA binaries (secured or not) are systematically signed. This information is verified only on PBX in
protect mode.

18.13.2 INTIPB board


In this document, the name "INTIPA or B" concerns the INTIP board as well the INTIP2 board
 Direct connectivity of the Ethernet port of the INTIPB board to a port of a switch is mandatory.
 The INTIPB board supports 10/100Mb/s and Half/Full Duplex mode.
 The mode Full-Duplex or Half-Duplex (default mode) of the INTIPB must be configured via the V24:
If the switch is in auto-negotiation, the switch will operate in the mode configured in the INTIPB.
If the switch is configured in Full-Duplex, the INTIPB must be configured in Full-Duplex too.
If the switch is configured in Half-Duplex, the INTIPB must be configured in Half-Duplex too.
 To configure the INTIPB in static IP addressing mode or Half/Full, you must use the cable 3BA 28112
for INTIP board and the cable 3EH 75003 AAAA for the INTIP2 board.
 The INTIPB board must not be used for H323 links or IP Phones handling.

18.13.3 Remote connection towards GD/GA/INTIP boards

18.13.3.1 Release 9.0 before patch H1.301.38


For safety reasons, telnet access towards GD/GA/INTIP boards has been disabled. The remote access towards
INTIP boards remains available using the cpl_online command.
Regarding the GD and GA boards, a mechanism similar to that of IP Touch sets has been implemented.
Activation of telnet service for a specific GD using the ippstat command.
Remote access towards GD/GA using the telnet_al <GD/GA_board_address> command.

OmniPCX Enterprise - Release 12.3.1


Release Note & Installation procedure for OmniPCX Enterprise R12.3.1 Released version M4.501.12.A TC2632en-ed.04
Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 108/135
Note This command corresponds to telnet <GD/GA_address> -b <CS_real_address>, the b option allows
to force the sender address of the request and in this case not use the main address.

The telnet client of the board GD/GA, which has been suppressed in Release 9.0, was necessary in particular
to access the maintenance commands relative to the H323 process (telnet from the GD on its H323 port
(4560)). These commands are now available through the ccmonitor command of the GD.

18.13.4 NGP boards (GD3/GA3/INTIP3)


Find below the different hardware compatibility information related to the use of NGP boards.
NGP boards don’t support the following topics:
Non "Direct RTP mode in network"
Proprietary H323 inter-nodes protocol (only H323 mode is supported)
Proprietary fax mode between Media Gateway (only H323 mode is supported)
Contrary to INTIP, the INTIP3 board doesn’t support transit function. So with NGP, whatever the board used,
the direct RTP mode is the only mode to take into account.
NGP binaries (secured or not) are systematically signed. This signature is verified in all cases by Call Server
(mode protect or bypass).

The account root has to be used to enter the console of a NGP board. The account admin exists but doesn’t
allow doing anything.
To reload from scratch a binary in a GD3/GA3/INTIP3 board, just use PC Installer and perform a network boot
of the board: it will automatically reformat its flash and then download the various binary files. The LOLA
mode, used for GD/GD2 boards is no more necessary as the flash reformat is performed automatically. A
reboot of the NGP board is mandatory after the flashing process.
To enter the BIOS of a GD3, GA3 or INTIP3, as for a GD board, the sequence Ctrl-B Ctrl-I has to be done
(rather quickly for NGP).

18.13.5 OMS (remote access & ESXi configuration rules)


Several modifications were done in relation to secure the access of the OMS. Refer to the precedent document
for more details on older versions. Remember that it is now the « admin » user that should be used to connect
on OMS (ssh -2 command).

Virtualization rules (extract from doc “OT suite –hosting – virtualization”)


… this solution is built with one or several OXE Media Services Base and optional access ports (up to 120 per
Base).
Hardware pre-requisites for OXE MS depends on the number of ports and coding/compression algorithm:
• One dedicated core processing (via “affinity rules”, from vShpere client management) per OXE MS
requiring 100 MHz for the Base.
• Hyperthreading has to be disabled on the OXE MS Virtual Machine
• Processing per port:
• With G711 coding only: 5 MHz with a maximum of 120 ports per OXE MS Base
• When G729 compression is used: 25 MHz with a maximum of 90 ports per OXE MS Base
• Virtual Hard disk per OXE MS Base: 4 GB
Dedicated and reserved memory PER OXE MS Base: 512 MB of RAM … END of extract

Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 110/135
18.15 SETS
18.15.1 8088 Noe/ Android
No desksharing in ABC network.

8088 noe/ Android sets: use the “bugreport” tool as described in Technical communications (TC2347en-Ed04 -
Technical Release Notes For 8088 R301 Smart Deskphone) in case of bug to report to technical report. Result
will be asked.

18.15.2 DECT
 In the case of common hardware, DECT can be installed on different Media Gateways, but these
Media Gateways must be necessarily located on different sites due to the interferences this would
generate, the Media Gateways being not synchronized from a DECT point of view. You should not
have overlapping between base stations.
 Only frequency number 1, 2, 4, 8 are available for PWT (5 does not work); same as for Crystal
hardware.
 DECT Campus.
The DECT Campus feature is not supported with Call Server or Appliance Server driving common hardware or
Crystal Media Gateway.
Due to a bad synchronization of INTOFS board, the DECT Campus is not operational. DECT(s) remain attached
to their preferential node. Thus, in limit of coverage, there is no handover towards the node of better
coverage. In this case, reset INTOFS boards of the PCX after restarting the PCX
 No cohabitation of DECT2 and DECT4 with DECT8.
 5 digit DECT dialing.

OmniPCX Enterprise - Release 12.3.1


Release Note & Installation procedure for OmniPCX Enterprise R12.3.1 Released version M4.501.12 .A TC2632en-ed.04
Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 111/135
This feature is only allowed for Mobile 100&200 Reflexes, Ascom DECT, 4074 HB in UA2 mode, GAP sets, TSC
DECT, 4073 (PWT).
 As of Release 8.0, XL configuration is only supported on Appliance Server and does not allow an
operation of Campus DECT.
 As of Release 8.0, DECT is available for USA. PWT and DECT cannot operate on the same installation.
 INTIP3B board carries out a full DTM function for its own ACT. This means all DECT synchronizations
are broadcasted over the whole remote crystal including sub-level. In such case, there is no more
need to use an additional DECT synchro board in the shelf. It is forbidden in a remote ACT to perform
this DTM function on both INTIP3B and DECT board. INTIP3B switchover preserves the DECT
synchros.

Dect firmware update:


- Consult “Technical Communication TC2600 - SUOTA for DECT Handsets in OXE 12.3” to know how to
upgrade the firmware on all dect sets (82xx series ONLY)
- It is always possible to do that update through a manual download by using a cradle.

18.15.3 IP DECT system (NEC)


Generalities:
 In case of incoherency mobiles management between OXE and DAP controller the DAP reboot:
workaround is to use authentication between DAP and OXE (Will be fixed in a maintenance version)
 Audio clack in com in G729: workaround is to disable VAD (analysis on going for a fix with VAD)
 Call cut after 50s when DAP managing the handset is disconnected: when during a call the communication
between the visiting DAP (handles DECT communication with handset) and the registration DAP (handles
the communication with the SIP server) is lost for more than 50 seconds, both DAPs will clear the call.

4080 DECT IP Access Point:


 No Static IP address management (only in DHCP mode)
 No LLDP Poe negociation

CROXE-3530 - OTC Android Smartphone // OS Android 7 Update issue

Since Android OS Nougat Update some ports historically used by the System are now in Conflict with OS
Nougat reserved ones.
Default port for signaling is 32512, this port is in the range of reserved port in Android 7 (32100 to 32599).
To allow android 7 devices, you must change the configuration of default port (IP-> TSC/IP Parameters ->
UDP port). Must also take this change is the firewall configuration

18.15.10 SIP SETS


all standard SIP sets must be declared with the SIP Extension type. Standard SIP sets are no longer
supported with the former "SIP Device" mode (formerly called "External set"). Only items other than standard
sets (Nokia sets in Dual mode, Alcatel 4135 conference module, fax, video, etc.) should remain with the
former "SIP Device" mode.
Set 8088 used for huddle room does NOT follow this rule and MUST be managed as "SIP Device" (simplified
telephonic features).

The “sip extension” mode (Native SIP Call Controller, also named SEPLOS - SIP End Point Level Of Service in
some technical documents) allows to increase strongly the level of service on a SIP set, compared with the SIP
standard (use of many OmniPCX Enterprise prefixes, etc.). Only the sets mentioned in the SEPLOS "white list"
(refer to the technical documentation TC1108 Native SIP Call Controller: White List) will be supported in
complete SEPLOS mode. This "white list" is likely to be regularly expanded further interoperability tests
performed in the AAPP framework. The sets not listed in the "white list" continue to be supported with the
basic level of service offered by the SIP standard (functioning equivalent to R8.0).

Warning It is mandatory to declare Nokia sets, used in Dual mode with OXE, as well as 4135/8135S IP Conference
Phones, with type "SIP device" (TC2556).

Business SIP sets in "SIP Extension" are mandatory multiline and room sets monoline. These modes are those
available by default and must not be modified for any reason.
Refer to the Feature List for the list of telephonic features available on SIP sets.

OmniPCX Enterprise - Release 12.3.1


Release Note & Installation procedure for OmniPCX Enterprise R12.3.1 Released version M4.501.12.A TC2632en-ed.04
Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 114/135
18.16 SIP TLS FOR EXTERNAL GATEWAY
SIP TLS/SRTP protocols are supported to secure SIP Trunks configured on the OXE to a Carrier or Service
Provider network (Public SIP Trunking in ISDN mode). The TLS protocol protects SIP signaling and the SRTP
protocol protects voice flows.
Depending on Carrier/Service Provider capabilities, voice media can also be encrypted using SRTP. Each Public
SIP Trunk can be configured at OXE level with SIP TLS&RTP or SIP TLS&SRTP. The voice media can be end-
to-end encrypted (using SRTP) from the IP Touch set in the customer’s network up to the Carrier’s gateway.
Notice on system configurations:
 SSM boxes model and MSM boxes model are not compatible with the SIP TLS feature. These boxes
must be replaced by new Server Security Modules SSM-RM and Media Security Modules MSM-RM in
front of PCS.
 SIP TLS with SIP devices or SIP extensions is not supported.
 From R12.3.1: a system with an OXE and THALES based encryption solution & public SIP trunks: it
is will be possible to benefit from TLS encryption technology for this SIP trunk (length of keys
certificates of 4096 bits, TLS 1.2). Port 5061 in TLS 1.0 to change to 5261 in TLS 1.2
IPsec/SRTP and SIP TLS/SRTP protocols can be used simultaneously

18.17.3 RESTRICTIONS
GAS:
soft RAID does not work! Only hardware RAID is supported
Other:
Known as unsupported virtualization systems at the moment:
o XEN (implies also Amazon)

18.17.4 Virtualized attendants


CROXE-5216: at CPU switching all com are lost and 4059 is unplugged.
This issue also occurs with physical PC and is not linked to virtualization. If there is no other type of attendant
(meaning all attendants are virtual) in the group public external call cannot be recovered.

18.18 VOIP
 The echo delay can no more be managed. It is set automatically according to the hardware used:
GIP6-GIP6A-MCV8-MCV24 board: the echo delay is limited to 32 ms.
GIP4-1/GIP4-4/MADA-1/MADA-3/Armada board: the echo delay is limited to 128 ms.
 Direct RTP H323.
The management of H323 direct RTP on OmniPCX Enterprise must be carefully enabled since all H323
terminals of the installation must be able to reroute the H245 RTP flow called "Empty Terminal Capability Set"
or "Voice Path Replacement".
No direct RTP between SIP set and a H323 terminal.
No direct RTP between H323 terminals with different compression algorithms (for instance case of H323
terminal in G723 or G729 calling a 4645 in G711)
 Direct RTP in network.
It is used with IP devices (IP Phones, Alcatel 4980 IP Telephony, GDx, GAx, 4645 voice mail, INTIPx, H323
equipment and H323 Gateways); it allows to establish a direct RTP communication between the 2 IP-devices
over the network in order to optimize the number of compressions/decompressions.
The DPNSS prefix for path replacement must be systematically managed.
The configuration must be homogeneous in the whole network; reboot of the system is mandatory after
activation of this feature.
Direct RTP in network is available with H323 terminals or H323 Gateway if all nodes are in Release 7.0 or
higher.
NGP boards support only the "Direct RTP in network" mode.
In Release 9.1, the Direct RTP mode parameter in "IP / IP Parameters" has been suppressed and the Direct
RTP mode in network activated in all cases: the non Direct RTP mode in network is no more possible. This rule
applies for both new systems and systems upgraded from older releases to release 9.1. The other nodes of
the ABC-F network must be managed accordingly. All the Alcatel-Lucent devices used must support this mode.
 Multi-node transit without compression/decompression like in OmniPCX 4400: this optimization is not
implemented in OmniPCX Enterprise; in place, direct RTP in network is provided.
 It is not possible to create several IP trunk groups for a GDx/GAx/INTIPx board => use the VPN Call
Limitation feature to limit the number of calls per direction.

OmniPCX Enterprise - Release 12.3.1


Release Note & Installation procedure for OmniPCX Enterprise R12.3.1 Released version M4.501.12 .A TC2632en-ed.04
Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 117/135
 For a GDx/GAx/INTIPx, the number of trunks in a trunk group must not be managed. You must retain
the default configuration (30 trunks created). The limitation of compressors will be carried out by
managing the VPN TS % in the trunk group or by the "VPN Call Limitation" feature.
 From R5.0 Lx, QoS profile control on ABC-F VoIP links is no longer available (with/out direct RTP
switching in network).
 The VoIPstat command is no longer usable.
 Mix of communication with Fax and Voice in a same room: during the voice communication, the DSP
might change to Fax mode; the only workaround is to reduce the volume of the Fax.
 As of Release 9.1, the boolean H323 signaling for inter-node links has been removed: only the
H323 mode is possible. The other nodes of the ABC-F network must be managed accordingly. NGP
boards only support this mode.
 When creating or modifying the IP trunk group on a GD, the Media Gateway will reset in order to take
into account the changes.
 UDP port range: UDP base port manageable by a system parameter and taken into account by all IP
equipments (Call Server, INTIP, GD, GA, IP Phone, etc.) except Fast IP Enabler.
CAUTION
This parameter is common for all the installation and is managed only under
IP/IP Phones Parameters/UDP Port
 QoS Tickets.
QoS tickets are provided by GD/GA/INTIP boards, IP Phone V2, IP Touch (in NOE mode), My Phone and 4645
voice mail.
 Fax over IP.
The rate is limited to 9600 bit/s in Fax Relay mode with common hardware and Crystal Hardware.
The rate remains at 9600 bit/s for the inter Media-Gateway T38 fax mode, introduced in R9.0.
Fax T38 interworking with OmniAccess 512 (VSA Interface) is not available.
Fax V34 is supported.
From Release 7.0, the Analog type parameter used to create an analog equipment of "Fax" or "Modem" type
in order to initialize the connection in transparent mode from the start of the communication, concern only the
modem:
Users / Analog type + No specific management or Fax
If the equipment is a fax: Switch-over to transparency after detection of 2100 Hz by DSP.
If the equipment is a modem: Switch-over to transparency after detection of 2100 Hz par le DSP,
If there is no carrier, no switch-over to transparency.
If the equipment is a set: No switch-over to transparency except if the DSP detects the 2100 Hz.
If Fax behind GD or INTIP are used, verify and manage if necessary value 7 in "V21 Jitter Buffer Length"
under "IP/Fax parameters": all GDs and INTIP must be rebooted to validate this value
When the Inter-Media Gateway T38 fax, introduced in Release 9.0, is used it must be activated on the various
nodes connected by VoIP logical link. A manual reset of GD/INTIP boards is imperative to take into account
the new mode. This mode has also been ported in Release 8.0.1 since patch G1.503.35. NGP boards only
support T38 fax mode between Media Gateways.
On a secured system with Thales devices (IP Touch Security) and using the inter Media-Gateway T38 fax
mode, the Local T38 port number parameter must be set to RTP port Number + 0.
 Audiocodes MP-102.

OmniPCX Enterprise - Release 12.3.1


Release Note & Installation procedure for OmniPCX Enterprise R12.3.1 Released version M4.501.12 .A TC2632en-ed.04
Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 118/135
Interworking with MP-102 boxes is supported but only for fax transmissions (analog sets are not supported);
refer to the technical communication TC0336 Setting the T38 fax over IP application (with MP-102 version
4.0).
No accounting for fax calls.
 Audiocodes MP-112.
T38-SIP: From R7.1, the default value of the Minimal authentication method parameter is set to the
DIGEST (with a password).
T38 Fax over SIP operation is supported with the MP-112 equipment. The transfer in TCP mode is not allowed,
the UDP one must be used.
 Audiocodes MP-118
An analog set (respectively a fax) plugged on a MP-118 must correspond to a SIP set with type "SIP
extension" (respectively "SIP Device" / "External set") on CS side.
 IP Services / Port numbers.
The port numbers used are listed in the System Documentation.
CAUTION
The System documentation is also applicable for Releases 5.0 Lx and higher.
For VoIP flows, the range of UDP ports used can be customized in the range 0 to 65535; supported by all IP
equipment like GD, GA, e-Reflexes range (IP-Phone V2) etc. except Fast IP Enabler (TSC-IP V1S).
 Internal DHCP Server
Verify that the range of the IP addresses assigned is sufficient for the number of clients. If the number is
lower than the numbers of clients, it would duplicate IP addresses with Windows or MAC clients for example,
the server is not protected against the reactivation of IP address by these clients.
 Internal DHCP server is restricted to 5 000 IP Touch.
 G729 40 ms.
CAUTION
The lengthening of the sending framing over IP involves two consequences on the voice:
1. An increase of the time from beginning to end.
2. Any loss of package means that larger quantity of information is lost, involving a faster degradation of
the voice.
 Jitter buffer.
Up to Release 9.0, the jitter buffer was managed by default in static mode with a buffer depth of 100 ms.
From Release 9.1, the default mode is changed with the use of the dynamic mode together with a buffer
depth of 300 ms. These new settings will help to avoid any packets accumulation on one side after a jitter
burst. They will also allow storing more packets and then accept a more important jitter.

18.19 MISCELLANEOUS
 Important: It is prohibited to install any other NAOS (RPM packages or pure binary) than those
provided by ALE OXE
 Feature "Ensure database consistency" (introduced in R9.1)
This feature is intended for cases where MAO modifications are done (mgr “like” management or user
set modification) while the Stand-By is temporarily not present.
The Double main Call Servers case is specific: MAO messages may be stored in the buffer of both Call
Servers. When the duplication link is back operational, if there are stored messages in the Call Server

OmniPCX Enterprise - Release 12.3.1


Release Note & Installation procedure for OmniPCX Enterprise R12.3.1 Released version M4.501.12.A TC2632en-ed.04
Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 119/135
which reboots as Stand-By (independently of the fact messages may have been stored or not in the
Call Server which stays Main), then they are lost (on both Call Servers) and an incident 439 is
displayed to recommend a manual synchronization (mastercopy). If messages have been stored only
in the Call Server which stays Main, then they will be sent to the Stand-By after its reboot.
Currently the MAO storage has two limitations: the buffer can store only 255 messages and the
storing process cannot last more than two hours. From the patch I1.605.14.e, MAO messages are
stored directly in RAM, removing the buffer limitation.
 In case of a V24-IP Moxa box, the time to recover the connection with the system after a Call Server
switch-over is about 10 to 20 seconds.
 “mao for rebuild” backup file cannot be used from a file coming from a previous release (CROXE-
2141). Issue will be seen from any release to M1 & upper. But not from M1 to later releases. This is a
definitive restriction. Error is “segmentation fault” while restoring mao-dat
Root Cause:
To rebuild the database restored from "mao-dat" backup, binaries having same MAO version needs to
be used.
To overcome this "mao-dat" backup contains two files "/tmpd/fichges" and "/tmpd/checkinitrem" from
the node where the backup is taken.
Only this fichges binary should be used to rebuild that particular database, if the source and
destination MAO versions are different.
This will not cause any issues for kernel 2.4 to 2.4 BckRestore of "mao-dat" file.
For 2.6 Linux, the older fichges binary is no longer compatible and causes a segmentation fault.

 Since Android OS Nougat update, some ports historically used by the system are now in conflict with
OS Nougat reserved ones. Default port for signaling is 32512, this port is in the range of reserved
ports in Android 7 (32100 to 32599).
To allow android 7 devices, you must change the configuration of default port (IP-> TSC/IP
Parameters -> UDP port).
You must also take this change in the firewall configuration.
 Migration from crystal cpu to appliance/vm: if the migration of rack 0 is not done, check the presence
of the file “AS.dat” under “/usr3/mao”. Delete it if you want to migrate to appliance/vm.
 Z sets ringing.
Maximum number of simultaneous ringing sets in a Rack 1U: 6.
Maximum number of simultaneous ringing sets Rack 3U: 20.
 In the event where you should use a T1 access and an E1 access on the same system, the two boards
must be on different Media Gateway.
 MIPT.
No music played during a music on hold.
 Customized ringing melody.
The customized ringing file is limited to 16 melodies.
 T0 interface on Media Gateway.
T0 "network mode" is only supported with the BRA board. Refer to the technical communication TC0495 Using
the network mode on T0 accesses of BRA boards on Media Gateway.
 Number of mini-messages.
Maximum number of mini-messages is limited to:
32 000 on Appliance Server

10 000 on CPU7
1000 on other CPUs
 4645 voice mail embedded on Call Server or Appliance Server.
The number of simultaneous accesses is limited to 16 for a 4645 on a dedicated Call Server (CS)
or embedded on an Appliance Server (AS).
The voice quality might be impacted by the double compression/decompression on the network when using a
poor IP domain (with G723/G729 codec) between the node of the voice mail and another node of the
network; even if the 4645 operates in G711, the 4645 will record a G723/G729 compressed/decompressed
speech; and again, at the restitution one G723/G729 compression/decompression will take place.
The attendant set has not access to the voice mail for consultation of the messages of a voice mailbox.
Rerouting of Fax is not supported.
The 4645 supports only DTMF sent in the signaling.
 Voice Guides.
GD/GA board supports maximum 4 languages for voice guides (including music on hold).
As of Release 8.0, GD/GA allows the playing of 40 min music on hold.
The USA voice guides are the default A4645voice guides.
 DSP resources per GPA.
The maximum number of DSP resources per GPA-GD is fixed as following (not extensible):
DTMF Generation: 16.
R2 detection + DTMF Q23/Q23X Detection + Tone (single and dual) Detection:
payload of 5 % for R2:
 maximum 20 detections for R2 when no Tone Detection,
payload of 4 % for Q23/Q23X:
 maximum 25 Q23/Q23X detections when no Tone Detection,
payload of 3 % for Tone Detection:
 maximum 30 Tone Detections when no Q23/Q23X detection.
Voice Guides Play: 16.
Addition (3-Party conferencing, discrete listening, etc.): 3.
The maximum number of DSP resources per GPA-MEX is fixed as following (not extensible):
DTMF Generation: 16.
R2 Detection + DTMF Q23/Q23X Detection + Tone (single and dual) Detection:
payload of 7 % for R2:
 maximum 14 detections for R2 when no Tone Detection,
payload of 6 % for Q23/Q23X:
 maximum 16 Q23/Q23X detections when no Tone Detection,
payload of 4 % for Tone Detection:
 maximum 25 Tone Detections when no Q23/Q23X detection.
Addition (3-Party conferencing, discrete listening, etc.): 3.
The maximum number of DSP resources per GPA-GA is fixed as following (not extensible):
Addition (3-Party conferencing, discrete listening, etc.): 3.
Voice Guides Play: 16.

OmniPCX Enterprise - Release 12.3.1


Release Note & Installation procedure for OmniPCX Enterprise R12.3.1 Released version M4.501.12 .A TC2632en-ed.04
Copyright © ALE International 2020 page 121/135
EAU (United Arabian Emirates) is available.
 A-Law/-Law.
The A-Law / –Law configuration is valid for the whole system.
DPT1-2 board does not allow any more the A-Law / µ-Law conversion.
 PSTN synchronization.
In case of common hardware, the PSTN access must be in the main rack (not in extension racks).
In case of common hardware or IP crystal Media Gateway, the synchronization is local to the Media-Gateway
=> synchronization by domain must be configured (Synchro Number 200 to 254).
ACT 99 can't be synchronizing.
 eRMA.
The connection is lost in case of Call Server switch-over.
The connection won’t work if the Call Server Application is not running.
Only one simultaneous connection is possible.
eRMA connection works only in case of switching network connection on the GDx (does not in case of access
work through an ABC-F link).
eRMA feature is not available if the concerned Media Gateway encrypts directly the signaling (MGsec).
 Back-up signaling.
The time to recover the telephonic functions in case of back-up link activation is about 3 to 6 minutes
depending on the Media Gateway configuration and the type of signaling link used for the back-up.
The number of digits expected when receiving the back-up call must be managed; see the Technical
Documentation.
The boards used for the establishment of the back-up link must be in the main rack.
In case of Crystal Server, it is mandatory to have a Media Gateway near the main zone to have the backup
feature.
In case an APA link is used for back-up signaling, this APA link will be dedicated for the back-up signaling.
DASS2 or DPNSS links are not supported as back-up links.
No IP Phone in dynamic address.
No 4049 nor 4059 attendant station behind a Media Gateway with potential back-up link.
Connection of Hybrid link/H323 links behind a Media Gateway with potential back-up link is
possible.
The following features are not accessible/provided when the back-up link is active:
Feed-back tone to the sets when dialing (except for IP-Phone V2).
Access to voice mail 4635H or 4645.
Call Center.
4980 PC MM won’t work because the OTS server will not be accessible.
Only local calls between the sets attached to the Media Gateway (including the IP-Phones attached to
the Media Gateway) or external calls through the local PSTN connections are possible.
 Remote Extension.
Doesn't work with NDDI, APA, DASS2 and DPNSS.
In VoIP network with the algorithm G723/G729, the public access has to be in the same node that the remote
extension otherwise there will be DTMF detection problem. It works correctly with the G711 algorithm.

19 TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Technical support will be provided to certified ACSE or ACFE engineers. The engineer must provide the valid
SMS/SES or SPS contract id (Support processes available on the Business Portal under the heading Customer
Support > Technical Support > Support processes).

Before contacting Alcatel's Business Partner Support Center (ABPSC), make sure that you have consulted:
 The Troubleshooting Guides (Diagnostics support guides) where they exist and perform the actions
suggested for your system problem (available on the Business Portal under the heading Customer
Support > Technical Support > Technical Documentation Library.
 The Technical Knowledge Center tool to perform a search, get a result, print the article or send it

20 INTEROPERABILITY with Third-Party applications


In case of interoperability with Third-Party applications, it is highly recommended to verify the interoperability
either by contacting the Third-Party supplier or by checking the existence of a valid “InterWorking Report” on
the Business Portal.

Technical support will be provided only in case of a valid InterWorking Report and in the scope of the features
which have been certified. That scope is defined by the InterWorking report via the tests cases which have
been performed, the conditions and the perimeter of the testing as well as the observed limitations. All this
being documented in the IWR. The certification does not verify the functional achievement of the AAPP
member’s application as well as it does not cover load capacity checks, race conditions and generally speaking
any real customer's site conditions.

Any possible issue will require first to be addressed and analyzed by the AAPP member before being escalated
to ALE.

For any request outside the scope of this IWR, ALE offers the “On Demand Diagnostic” service where
assistance will be provided against payment.
