DEFINITY R8.3 Feature Overview

DEFINITY R8.3 Feature Overview
The primary focus of Rele ase 8.3 is the call center Network Call Redirection feature. In addition, R8.3 introduces the new IP Media Processor circuit pack, enhances the Centralized Voice Messaging feature, and adds a limited version of ARS/AAR Dialing without FAC.
This introduction covers the following topics:

Network Call Redirection

Network Call Redirection (NCR)
ISDN trunks required by having the PSTN re-direct incoming ISDN calls to another PSTN destination.
Call Center customers will no longer require trunk-to-trunk connections for Interflow, ASAI, or station/agent/VRU transferred calls.
Call redirection is invoked in real time on a call-by-call basis. NCR utilizes either the ETSI Network Call Deflection (NCD) or ANSI Network Call
Transfer (NCT) features provided by the PSTN.

IP Media Processor Interface for VoIP Bearer (TN2302AP)

TN2302AP is a hardware alternative to TN803B MedPro. The first release of the TN2302AP, available in July, 2000, is intended for
configurations that require IP station and trunk connectivity without fax. Future releases of this circuit pack will support fax using R8.3 and later DEFINITY Software.
TN2302AP has the following features:
Support for 32/64 Simultaneous calls.
Single slot interface card.
Real time operating system with integrated DSPís.
Enhanced performance through audio delay improvement.

ARS/AAR Dialing without FAC

ARS/AAR Dialing without FAC allows a DEFINITY system to be administered so that callers can place Automatic Route Selection (ARS) and/or Automatic Alternate Routing (AAR) calls without first dialing the Feature Access Code (FAC). This is the only approved and supported capability. ARS/AAR Dialing without

Upgrading R8.1/8.2 to R8.3

This section provides the information to upgrade from a DEFINITY ECS Release
8.1 or Release 8.2 to a DEFINITY ECS Release 8.3 as a software upgrade only. To upgrade from pre-Release 8.1 to Release 8.3, refer to one of the following
books:
DEFINITY Enterprise Communications Server Release 8 Installation, Upgrades, and Additions for Compact Modular Cabinets
DEFINITY Enterprise Communications Server Release 8 Upgrades and Additions for R8si
DEFINITY Enterprise Communications Server Release 8 Upgrades and Additions for R8r

Read This First

Service Interruption

Upgrading R8.1/8.2 to R8.3
The upgrade process requires a service interruption of about 10 minutes for a standard reliability and must be closely coordinated with the customer and the local account team.

Call Management System (CMS)

The CMS link is dropped and restarted during the upgrade. This causes CMS data to be lost. This data loss can be minimized if the upgrade is performed just after the last CMS measurement interval.
All measurement data is lost during the upgrade (including BCMS). If needed, the reports may be printed before the upgrade begins.
CMS could abort the processing of a call if a measured trunk that was part of the conference dropped off the call before the end of the call.

Contact Network Technicians

Contact the technician for each public and private network before the update or upgrade begins. Otherwise, it is possible that network access trunk facilities will be busied out at the far end.

Upgrading R8.1/8.2 to R8.3

Translation Card Compatibility (si/csi only)

Release 8.1 or 8.2 formatted translation cards are compatible with Release 8.3 systems and, therefore, can be reused. It is not necessary to obtain new Release
8.3 formatted translation cards.

Software Upgrade

Although the translations upgrade automatically to Release 8.3, several features require special attention because of screen changes or potential naming conflicts in the update or upgrade procedure.
Between customer confirmation and the actual update or upgrade, check the
screens to ensure the translations meet the customer’s needs. After rebooting the system, enter the translations either locally or remotely. If done remotely, Contact Field Support Administration Center (FSAC) for the remote entry. For information to make the required changes, refer to:
DEFINITY Enterprise Communications Server Release 8 Administrator’s Guide
No administration changes should be made during the upgrade procedure. There can be time gaps between steps and, since the system cannot prevent administration changes, it is up to the system technician to make sure that none are attempted during the entire upgrade process.

Required Tools

This upgrade requires one copy of each of the following books:
DEFINITY Enterprise Communications Server Release 8 Maintenance for R8si
DEFINITY Enterprise Communications Server Release 8 Maintenance for R8csi
DEFINITY Enterprise Communications Server Release 8 Maintenance for R8r
DEFINITY Enterprise Communications Server Release 8 Administrator’s Guide

DC Isolator

Each peripheral connected to a DC-powered system by the asynchronous EIA RS-232 interface requires a 116A or 105C isolator. The isolator is inserted at the RS-232 interface between the peripheral and the interface connector to isolate ground between the system and external adjuncts.

Antistatic Protection

!
CAUTION:
When handling circuit packs or any components of a DEFINITY ECS system, always wear an antistatic wrist ground strap. Connect the strap to an approved ground such as ground jack on the DEFINITY ECS system.

IP Solutions

DEFINITY ECS IP Solutions allows you to send voice and fax from the DEFINITY ECS through an Internet protocol (IP) network to other DEFINITY ECSs having this feature or to other H.323 V2 compliant endpoints. It is implemented using the TN2302AP IP Media Processor and Release 8.3 or later software.
IP trunking operating mode is still available using the TN802 IP Trunking (with Release 7) or the TN802B IP Interface Assembly (with Release 8.2), which offers both IP trunk and MedPro operating modes. Unlike the TN802B IP Interface Assembly, the TN2302AP operates in one mode: Media Processor (MedPro), which is H.323 V2 compatible. The TN2302AP works on all 3 DEFINITY ECS platforms (r, si, csi), beginning with R8.3, and DEFINITY ONE.
IP Solutions
NOTE:
The “P” designation means the firmware on the circuit pack is programmable, a feature available beginning with Release 9.

Full Name of MO
The TN2302 (IPMEDPRO) circuit pack is the next generation H.323 platform. The TN2302 includes a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet interface to support H.323 endpoints for DEFINITY IP (Internet Protocol) trunks and H.323 endpoints. The TN2302 can perform echo cancellation, silence suppression, DTMF detection, and conferencing. It supports the following codecs, fax detection for them, and conversion between them:
G.711 (mu-law or a-law, 64Kbps);
G.723.1 (6.3Kbps or 5.3Kbps audio);
G.729A (8Kbps audio);
The TN2302 IPMEDPRO circuit board is used by the DOLAN (Definity on the LAN) feature to provide voice over IP connectivity. The TN2302 can run the Media Processor (MedPro) application, which allows the TN2302 to act as a service circuit to terminate generic RTP streams used to carry packetized audio over an IP network. As part of the overall H.323 implementation, the TN2302 circuit pack handles the audio streams while the TN799 C-LAN handles the TCP/IP signaling channels. This maintenance object applies only to a TN2302 IPMEDPRO running the Media Processor application.
The Media Processor application is built upon the existing ITS software, and as such is not administered in DEFINITY as a DS1 trunk, and does not emulate a DS1 for maintenance purposes. Use the following Maintenance procedures for this application.

IPMEDPRO (IP Media Processor Circuit
Notes:
a. Error Type 1 -This error indicates that the circuit pack has been removed
from the system or is not fully administered. The alarm is logged about 15 minutes after the circuit pack has been removed, or 11-minutes after the
SAKI Test (#53) fails.
Pack)
To be fully administered, a IPMEDPRO circuit pack must meet
4 conditions
:
all of these
1. Have an entry in the circuit pack form (change circuit pack)
2. Have the MedPro ip address administered (change node-names)
3. Be enabled (change ip-interface)
4. Be physically inserted into the correct slot
If the circuit pack has an entry in the circuit pack form and either of the other two conditions are
not
met, a MINOR alarm is logged. To resolve the
error:
1. Make sure all conditions for administration are met and that a functioning MedPro circuit pack is inserted in the correct slot
OR
2. Completely remove the IPMEDPRO from the system using the following steps:
a. Remove the administered
IP-Interface associated with the
circuit pack. b. Physically remove the circuit pack from the slot. c. Execute the remove medpro UUCSS and change circuit
pack UUCSS commands.
b. Error Type 18 -The IPMEDPRO Interface circuit pack has been busied out
by a busyout board UUCSS command.
1. Release the circuit pack (release board UUCSS).
c. Error Type 23 -The IPMEDPRO circuit pack is not completely
administered. To be fully administered, a IPMEDPRO circuit pack must meet
all of these 4 conditions
1. Have an entry in the circuit plan (change circuit pack)
2. Have the IPMEDPRO IP address administered (change node- names)
3. Be enabled (change ip-interface)
4. Be physically inserted into the correct slot.
A DS1 (IPMEDPRO, MEDPRO, MAPD, UDS1-BD and DS1-BD) differs from most circuit packs in that inserting the circuit pack into the switch is not enough to make the board usable. It must also be administered.

d. Error Type 125 - No Aux Data: The wrong circuit pack is inserted in the slot
where this circuit pack is logically administered.
1. Remove the wrong circuit pack and insert the logically administered circuit pack
OR
2. Re-administer this slot to match the circuit pack inserted (change circuit-pack).
e. Error Type 257 - This error is associated with a failure of the Control
Channel Test #52. Refer to Control Channel Test #52 Maintenance documentation for details.
f. Error Type 513 - This error indicates different hardware device problems
on the board. They include an external RAM failure, and internal RAM failure, a ROM checksum failure, message corruption, and a program logic inconsistency. The counter can be alarmed if it goes over threshold. There are really no good associated tests for these inline errors, if they continue to happen, an alarm will occur, otherwise the counter will be decremented via the leaky bucket.
g. Error T ype 1025 - FPGA failure. This failure indicates a problem on the
FPGA device located on the TN2302. The last byte of the inline error gives a hint as to the problem with the FPGA. The diagnostic strategy for this inline error is to take the switch resources associated with all of the DSPs out of service, and then to reset the FPGA. The reset of the FPGA will cause an uplink response as to whether the reset passed or not. There are several error conditions that can be sent up in the error message for the FPGA, they will all be treated as the same failure by switch software.
42
h. Error Type 1281 - TSI failur es. T here ar e po te nti all y 2 different T SI fa ilur es
that can occur, one is a TSI DSP failure and the other is a TSI FPGA failure. Both of these failures will be looked for by switch software, but, they will both cause the same response by software. The diagnostic strategy for this inline error is to take the switch resources associated with all of the DSPs out of service, and then to reset the TSI (the reset downlink is slightly different depending on whether the TSI DSP or the TSI FPGA is to be reset). The reset of the TSI will cause an uplink response as to whether the reset passed or not. There are several error conditions that can be sent up in the error message for the TSI, they will all be treated as the same failure by switch software.
i. Error Type 1538 - This error is used to indicate hyperactivity on the board.
Hyperactivity on a circuit pack is when the angel is sending too many CCMS messages uplink, 400 per ten seconds for the TN2302, to switch software. The circuit pack will be taken out of service. See error Type 3999.

IPMEDPRO (IP Media Processor Circuit
j. Error Type 2049 - This error indicates that the processor, specifically the
Power PC, 860T hardware is failing. The PPC provides the Angle functionality as well as the UDP/IP interface; an attempt is made to reset the board automatically. If the reset fails, the board is probably bad and should be replaced.
k. Error Type 2305 - This error indicates an IP address inconsistency
between switch software and the IPMEDPRO board. If this error occurs, an attempt will be made to download the IP address again. If the board still refuses the IP address, the board will be reset.
l. Error Type 2561 - This error indicates that the ping test has failed. The
diagnostics that are run by this failure start up analysis testing and rerun the test. Testing will continue until the problem is cleared. However, once the counter reaches threshold, an attempt will be made to refresh the IP address to the board.
m. Error Type 2817 - This error indicates an Ethernet hardware failure on the
TN2302 circuit pack. The diagnostic strategy for this inline error is to take the switch resources associated with all of the DSPs out of service, and then to reset the Ethernet hardware. The reset of the Ethernet hardware will cause an uplink response as to whether the reset passed or not. There are several error conditions that can be sent up in the error message for this problem, they will all be treated as the same failure by switch software.
Pack)
n. Error Type 3073 - This error is associated with a circuit board reset. The
diagnostic strategy for these inline errors is to take the switch resources associated with all of the DSPs out of service, and then to reset the board as the failure of the Scotch is severe enough to warrant a board reset. After the board reset a query can be made again for the health of the Scotch devices to verify whether they are OK, if they are the alarm and counters will be cleared, if not, the alarm will be left up, all DSPs will be left out of service, and maintenance diagnostics will stop. If the board continues to fail with this error type replace the TN2302.
o. Error Type 3840, 3841 - Inconsistent downlink message. These errors are
not service-affecting. No action is required.
p. Error Type 3999 - This error indicates that the circuit pack sent a large
number of control channel messages to the switch within a short period of time. If Error Type 1538 is also present, then the circuit pack was taken out­of-service due to hyperactivity. If Error Type 1538 is not present, then the circuit pack has not been taken out-of-service, but it has generated 50% of the messages necessary to be considered hyperactive. This may be completely normal during heavy traffic periods. However, if this error type is logged when the circuit pack is being lightly used, it may indicate a problem with the circuit pack or the equipment attached to it.

This test verifies that the MedPro circuit pack can communicate to other nodes on the LAN.
This test pings the gateway IP address as defined on the IP Interface form. If the PING is successful, this test looks at the PING round trip delay. If a round
trip delay of greater than 4 seconds is reported, a separate error is logged. Excessive round trip delays do not take the MedPro out of service.

MP Diagnostic Test (#1406)

This test is destructive.
The MP Diagnostic Test #1406 runs all of the diagnostic tests listed below and in the order listed, but only if each successive test passes:
1. FPGA Query
2. TSI Query
3. ETHERNET Query
4. SCOTCH Sanity
FPGA Query
This test passes if the FPGA device on the TN2302 tests ok. Otherwise it fails with no fail code or AUX data.
This test is to verify the status of the FPGA device on the TN2302 circuit pack. If the device is bad, software will set an appropriate counter, post an error and alarm, and take all DSPs out of service (all DSPs are controlled by the one FPGA). Software will then attempt to reset the FPGA. If the reset passes or the original test passes, the DSPs will be placed into service.
50
TSI DSP Query
This test passes if the TSI device on the TN2302 tests ok. Otherwise it fails with no fail code or AUX data.
This test is to verify the status of the TSI device on the TN2302 circuit pack. If the device is bad, software will set an appropriate counter, post an error and alarm, and take all DSPs out of service (all DSPs are controlled by the one TSI). Software will then attempt to reset the TSI. If the reset passes or the original test passes, the DSPs will be placed into service.
Ethernet Query
This test passes if the TN2302 hardware tests ok and the Ethernet port is connected. Otherwise it fails with no fail code or AUX data.
SCOTCH Sanity
The Scotch device on a board contains the functionality on the board to communicate with switch software via the TDM bus for conferencing and gain adjustment. This is done by setting up connections on TDM bus time slots.
There are 3 different inline errors that can be generated due to the Scotch devices on the board. They are NPE scotch device 0, NPE scotch 1, and NCE scotch. If any of these errors are reported from the board, the DSPs will be taken from service and the a circuit pack reset will be done by running the SAKI test.

a
Full Name of MO
The TN802B MedPro circuit board is used by the DOLAN (Definity on the LAN) feature to provide voice over IP connectivity. The TN802B can run either:
R8.1 IP Trunk application — allows the TN802B to emulate a DS1 circuit
pack. In this mode, the circuit pack is maintained as a standard DS1 board with its associated Tie trunk ports. The TN802B operates as an integrated Internet Telephony Server. It communicates with other ITS boxes or IP trunk boards.
The Media Processor (MedPro) application — allows the TN802B to act as
a service circuit to terminate generic RTP streams used to carry packetized audio over an IP network. As part of the overall H.323 implementation, the TN802B or later circuit pack handles the audio streams while the TN799 C­LAN handles the TCP/IP signaling channels. This maintenance plan applies only to a TN802B MedPro running the Media Processor application.
The MedPro hardware combines an angel complex, a Windows NT PC and a TA P802 DSP card in a 3-slot package. When operating as an IP trunk circuit pack, the MedPro emulates a DS1 Tie Trunk circuit pack and blindly responds to DS1 trunk maintenance requests. Actual maintenance is accomplished via the windows NT interface and the ITS software diagnostics.
The Media Processor application is built upon the existing ITS software, and as such is not administered in DEFINITY as a DS1 trunk, and does not emulate a DS1 for maintenance purposes. Use the following Maintenance procedures for this application.

1. Make sure all conditions for administration are met and that a functioning MedPro circuit pack is inserted in the correct slot
OR
2. Completely remove the MedPro from the system using the following steps:
a. Remove the administered
IP-Interface associated with the
circuit pack. b. Physically remove the circuit pack from the slot. c. Execute the remove medpro UUCSS and change circuit
pack UUCSS commands.
b. Error Type 18 -The MedPro Interface circuit pack has been busied out by a
busyout board UUCSS command.
1. Release the circuit pack (release board UUCSS).
c. Error Type 23 -The MedPro circuit pack is not completely administered. To
be fully administered, a MedPro circuit pack must meet

where this circuit pack is logically administered.
1. Remove the wrong circuit pack and insert the logically administered circuit pack
OR
2. Re-administer this slot to match the circuit pack inserted (change circuit-pack).
e. Error Type 257 - this error is associated with the Common Port Circuit
Pack Maintenance Test. Refer to XXX-BD (Common Port Circuit Pack) Maintenance documentation for details.
f. Error Type 1538 - This error is used to indicate hyperactivity on the circuit
pack. Hyperactivity on a circuit pack is when the angel is sending too many CCMS messages uplink, 400 per ten seconds for the TN2302, to switch software. The circuit pack will be taken out of service. See error Type 3999.
g. Error T ype 2049 - This error indicates that the operating system is down;
an attempt is made to reset the board automatically. If the reset fails, the board is probably bad and should be replaced.
h. Error T ype 3841 - inconsistent downlink message. This error is not
service-affecting. No action is required.
i. Error Type 3999 - indicates that the circuit pack sent a large number of
control channel messages to the switch within a short period of time. If Error Type 1538 is also present, then the circuit pack was taken out-of­service due to hyperactivity. If Error Type 1538 is not present, then the circuit pack has not been taken out-of-service, but it has generated 50% of the messages necessary to be considered hyperactive. This may be completely normal during heavy traffic periods. However, if this error type is logged when the circuit pack is being lightly used, it may indicate a problem with the circuit pack or the equipment attached to it.

IP Address Query Test #1371

This test is destructive.
The Media Processor has two interfaces for configuring the board, through the NT PC interface and the SAT via CCMS messages. For R8 DoLAN, the SAT and CCMS are the only approved interface. However, the NT PC interface cannot easily be disabled. It is possible that changes can be made via the NT PC interface t hat ca us e t he Me di a Pr ocessor board t o be inconsisten t w it h DE F INI TY translation. The area of concern is the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway translation.
This test sends the Media processor the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway translation (IP parameters). If the parameters do not match DEFINITY translation, the new values are written into the Windows registry, and the NT PC asks the maintenance sub-system to reboot the board. The board goes through a physical board removal and insertion.
When this test fails, it is an indication that an illegal change was made and the customer should be notified. Also, writing the IP address parameters to the registry requires NT to reboot. If the IP addresses match, there is no need to update the registry and reboot NT

Ping Test (#1379)

This test is non-destructive
This test verifies that the MedPro circuit pack can communicate to other nodes on the LAN.
This test pings the gateway IP address as defined on the IP Interface form. If the PING is successful, this test looks at the PING round trip delay. If a round
trip delay of greater than 4 seconds is reported, a separate error is logged. Excessive round trip delays do not take the MedPro out of service.
Services can execute the standard PING command using the C-LAN board address and MedPro IP address to see the actual round-trip delay. (See ping commands).
This test is a nondestructive test. It runs due to in-line errors, during periodic and schedule maintenance, and on demand.

The MEDPROPT maintenance object monitors the health of the MEDPRO digital signal processors (DSP s ).
The TN802B/TN2302 MAPD (Multi-Application Platform for DEFINITY) Media Processor circuit pack provides the audio bearer channels for H.323 voice over IP calls. One TN802B/TN2302 circuit pack has one MEDPROPT media processing resource. Based on system administration of audio codecs, a MEDPROPT can handle either 31 or 22 simultaneous channels of H.323 audio processing. If the ip- parameters form specifies only G.711 Mulaw or G.711 Alaw as the audio codecs, the MEDPROPT can service 31 channels. If any other codec type (G.723-5.3K, G.723-6.3K, or G .729) is administered, the MEDPROPT can only service 22 channels.
The MEDPROPT is physically made up of 11 individual DSPs, but is treated logically as one port. If individual DSPs on the TN802B/TN2302 MAPD fail, the MEDPROPT remains in-service at lower capacity.
The MEDPROPT is a shared service circuit. It is shared between H.323 trunk channels and H.323 stations. An idle channel is allocated to an H.323 trunk/ station on a call-by-call basis.

DSPs are out of service (OOS), and a MINOR alarm is raised. The Aux Data field contains the number of DSPs that are Out Of Service (OOS).
f. Error Type 1225 - This port is out of service (OOS) due to a board level
failure. Check for errors/alarms against the board, in particular, ping problems or IP address inconsistency, or board sanity problems.

DSP Capacity Query Test (#1382)

This test is non-destructive
If you have the TN802B
When using theTN802B this test polls the circuit pack for the number of failed DSPs. If all DSPs are functional, the test passes and the board is operating at maximum capacity. If any DSPs have failed, the test fails and reports the number of failed DSPs.
A failure of 3 or fewer DSPs does not result in an alarm. A failure of more than 3 up to 8 DSPs results in a warning alarm. A failure of more than 8 DSPs results in a minor alarm. In all cases, except all DSPs failing, the MEDPROPT continues to provide reduced capacity.

If you have the TN2302
When using the TN2302 this test polls the circuit pack for the state of health of a specific DSP . If the DSP is bad an error will be logged and the board will be polled again. If the circuit pack is still failing, the DSP will be taken out of service and a MINOR alarm will be raised.

MEDPROPT (TN802/TN2302 MED PRO DSP PORT)

TDM NIC Looparound Test (#1380)

This test is non-destructive
This test sets up a loopback path from the TDM bus out to the NIC edge of the Media processor and back to the TDM bus. The loopback is established by setting
up the outbound IP connection to send IP packets to the MedPro’s own IP address. The tone generator places a test tone (440Hz) onto a timeslot. The timeslot is listened to by the Media processor board. The tone is routed through the TAP802/2302 DSP farm, where it may undergo transcoding to G .723, etc. The tone is looped back at the Network interface and back through the TAP802/2302 where it is converted back into standard PCM. The tone is placed onto a TDM timeslot and detected by a tone detector port. The test passes if 440Hz is reported by the tone detector
