IP Telephony
IP Telephony
Overview
IP Telephony is the technology of transmitting voice conversations over a data network infrastructure using IP (Internet Protocol). IP Telephony is the ability to make a phone call using an IP based device, optionally via gateways such as the Business Communications Manager or using Internet Telephony Service Providers (ITSPs). This convergence of voice, video, and data enhances our ability to collaborate with tools such as video conferencing and other data related facilities.
Business Communications Manager (BCM) with Voice over IP (VoIP) provides several business critical advantages:
Cost Savings. IP networks can be significantly less expensive to
operate and maintain than traditional networks. The simplified network infrastructure of an Internet Telephony solution cuts costs by connecting IP telephones over your LAN and eliminates the need for dual cabling. IP Telephony can also provide “internal” dialling capability on site-to-site calls via global four-digit dialling plans.
Portability and flexibility. Employees can be more productive
because they are no longer confined by geographic location. IP telephones work anywhere on the network, even over a remote connection. Network deployments and reconfigurations are simplified, and service can be extended to remote sites and home offices over cost-effective IP links.
Simplicity and consistency. Customers can centrally manage the IP
Telephony infrastructure from a central point via the Element Manager application. The ability to network existing PBXs using IP can bring new benefits to a business. For example, the ability to consolidate voicemail onto a single system, or to fewer systems, making it easier for voice mail users to network.
Compatibility. IP Telephony is supported over a wide variety of
transport technologies. A user can gain access to just about any business system through a Digital Line, a LAN, frame relay, asynchronous transfer mode, SONET or wireless connection.
Scalability. A future-proof, flexible, and safe solution, combined with
high reliability, allows a company to focus on customer needs, not network problems.
NN40011-028 Issue 1.2 BCM Rls 6.0 7
Note: All IP Clients require licence seats enabling on the BCM to allow registration and functionality. The 2050 IP Softphone requires additional per seat licensing, as does the 1100 series VPN feature. The Remote Worker Solution (NAT traversal) also requires licensing, on a system-wide rather than per seat basis.
IP Telephones and VoIP Trunks
This guide describes two similar applications for IP telephony on the BCM system: IP telephones and VoIP trunks. These applications can be used separately or together as a network voice/data solution.
IP Telephones
IP telephones offer the functionality of regular telephones, but do not require a hardwire connection to the BCM. Instead, they must be plugged into an IP network that is connected to the LAN or WAN card (BCM50(b)e only) on the BCM.
Calls made from IP telephones through the BCM can pass over VoIP trunks or across a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
Avaya provides a range of IP telephones. The „i-series telephones are hardwired to the system, in the case of the i2001, i2002, i2004, i2007 as well as the newer 1110, 1120E, 1140E, 1210, 1220, 1230 and the i2033 IP conference phone, or are accessed through your desktop or laptop computer as in the case of the IP Softphone 2050.
VoIP Trunks
VoIP trunks (Lines) allow voice signals to travel across IP networks. A gateway within the BCM converts the voice signal into IP packets, which are then transmitted through the IP network. The device at the other end reassembles the packets into a voice signal. NetMeeting is one of the H.323 protocol trunk devices that the BCM system supports.
H.323 is a standard for packet based multimedia communications systems. H.323 is widely used as the standard for IP telephony and allows for the voice packets to traverse an IP network. It was designed for multimedia communication over IP networks, including audio, video, and data conferencing. The most widely deployed use of H.323 is "Voice over IP" followed by "Videoconferencing".
SIP Session Initiation Protocol is text based application-layer control (signaling) protocol for creating, modifying, and terminating sessions with one or more participants. It can be used to create two or multiparty VoIP telephone calls. Name Translation and User Location is utilised where SIP translates an address to a name and thus reaches the called party at any location.
8 NN40011-028 Issue 1.2 BCM Rls 6.0
IP Telephony
Note: VoIP trunks are enabled via keycodes. The number of licence seats applied determines the maximum number of simultaneous calls via VoIP trunks.
Supporting Information
The following sections contain information the might be useful when considering network design and integration of BCM VoIP functionality into the network.
SIP Trunk Authentication
Ensures that only gateways with valid credentials can place calls to the BCM and that BCM can provide valid credentials on outgoing calls when challenges take place.
DNS (Domain Name Service)
DNS can be used to locate SIP servers. This means that customers do not need to know the IP addresses of remote servers and can use domain name entries instead.
SIP Proxy Failover
Enables use of multiple SIP Proxies without relying on DNS query method with multiple entries.
SIP REFER
Standards based method for handling incoming SIP REFER messages to support Call Transfer requests in a SIP network environment.
G.711 Fax Support
Option to use G.711 when placing calls from fax machines.
IP Network
The network administrator should be able to advise you about the network setup and how the BCM fits into the network.
WAN
A Wide Area Network (WAN) is a communications network that covers a wide geographic area, such as a state or country. If you want to deploy IP telephones that will be connected to a LAN outside of the LAN that the BCM is installed on, you must ensure the BCM has access to a network device that has a WAN connection. This includes ensuring that you obtain IP addresses and routing information that allows the remote telephones to find the BCM, and vice versa.
LAN
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. For BCM, a LAN is any IP network
NN40011-028 Issue 1.2 BCM Rls 6.0 9
connected to a LAN Interface on the BCM system. Often, the LAN can include a router that forms a connection to the Internet.
Public Switched Telephone Network
The PSTN can play an important role in IP telephony communications. In many installations, the PSTN forms a fallback route. If a call across a VoIP trunk does not have adequate voice quality, the call can be routed across the PSTN instead, either on public lines or on a dedicated ISDN connection between the two systems. The BCM also serves as a gateway to the PSTN for all voice traffic on the system.
Gatekeeper
A gatekeeper tracks IP addresses of specified devices, and provides authorisation for making and accepting calls for these devices. A gatekeeper is not required for the BCM system, but can be useful on networks with a large number of devices.
A gatekeeper controls all H.323 clients (endpoints like MS Netmeeting) in its zone. Its primary function is to address translation between alias addresses and IP addresses. This way you can call "Fred" instead of knowing which IP address he currently works on. VoIP gateways can register at the gatekeeper and the gatekeeper finds the right gateway to use to call a specific number.
For example in the diagram below digital telephone A wants to call IP telephone B, which is attached to BCM B, over a network that is under the control of a gatekeeper. Digital telephone A sends a request to the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper provides Digital telephone A with the information it needs to contact BCM B over the network. BCM B then passes the call to IP telephone B.
10 NN40011-028 Issue 1.2 BCM Rls 6.0
Below is a diagram showing an example of a VoIP Network.
IP Telephony
Key IP Telephony Concepts
In traditional telephony, the voice path between two telephones is circuit switched. This means that the digital connection between the two telephones is dedicated to the call. The voice quality is usually excellent, since there is no other signal to interfere.
In IP telephony, voice quality between IP telephones can vary significantly from call to call and time of day. When two IP telephones are on a call, each IP telephone encodes the speech at the handset microphone into small data packets called frames. The system sends the frames across the IP network to the other telephone, where the frames are decoded and played at the handset receiver. If some of the frames get lost while in transit, or are delayed too long, the receiving telephone experiences poor voice quality.
Codecs
The algorithm used to compress and decompress voice is embedded in a software entity called a codec (COde-DECode). Two popular Codecs are G.711 and G.729. The G.711 Codec samples voice at 64 kilobits per second (kbps) while G.729 samples at a far lower rate of 8 kbps. Voice quality is
NN40011-028 Issue 1.2 BCM Rls 6.0 11
better when using a G.711 CODEC, but more network bandwidth is used to exchange the voice frames between the telephones.
If you experience poor voice quality, and suspect it is due to heavy network traffic, you can get better voice quality by configuring the IP telephone to use a G.729 CODEC.
The BCM supports these codecs:
G.729 G.723 G.729 with VAD (Voice Activity Detection - the transmission of "silent
packets" over the network)
G.723 with VAD G.711-uLaw G.711-aLaw
BCM allows for CODEC renegotiation. This means that two sets and/or trunks using dissimilar CODEC settings, when initiating the VoIP call, would negotiate and decide which CODEC to use. In earlier BCM software levels, differing CODECS would have meant that the call would be dropped.
Jitter Buffer
Voice frames are transmitted at a fixed rate, because the time interval between frames is constant. If the frames arrive at the other end at the same rate, voice quality is perceived as good. In many cases, however, some frames can arrive slightly faster or slower than the other frames. This is called jitter, and degrades the perceived voice quality. To minimize this problem, configure the IP telephone with a jitter buffer for arriving frames.
This is how the jitter buffer works - Assume a jitter buffer setting of five frames:
The IP telephone firmware places the first five arriving frames in the
jitter buffer.
When frame six arrives, the IP telephone firmware places it in the
buffer, and sends frame one to the handset speaker.
When frame seven arrives, the IP telephone buffers it, and sends frame
two to the handset speaker.
The net effect of using a jitter buffer is that the arriving packets are
delayed slightly in order to ensure a constant rate of arriving frames at the handset speaker.
12 NN40011-028 Issue 1.2 BCM Rls 6.0
IP Telephony
The below diagram shows a Jitter Buffer example assuming a jitter buffer setting of five frames:
Possible jitter buffer settings and corresponding voice packet latency (delay) for the BCM system IP telephones are:
None Small (G.711/G.729: 0.05 seconds) Medium (G.711/G.729: 0.09 seconds) Large (G.711/G.729: 0.15 seconds)
NN40011-028 Issue 1.2 BCM Rls 6.0 13
QoS Routing
The process of prioritizing data frames is referred to as Quality of Service (QoS) routing.
The BCM system supports QoS routing, when it is integrated with other Avaya routing solutions. The BCM system can also be configured to monitor QoS so that the system reverts to a circuit-switched line if a suitable QoS cannot be guaranteed.
VoIP packets can also be “marked” using DSCP, with the aim of prioritising
these packets through the network.
Remote Working Capability
The latest release of BCM offers the option of being able to use an IP Telephone in remote locations, as it were a phone on the local system. The Remote Worker solution only requires standard routers and networking capability to perform this function. If necessary, the IP telephone can be moved to various locations as required, as long as there is network access to the BCM.
14 NN40011-028 Issue 1.2 BCM Rls 6.0
IP Telephony
A typical example of the Remote Worker solution would be a home worker who wishes to connect an IP telephone to the main office BCM, using their standard home router and the internet. The office BCM would be connected to the internet via a router which has a static public IP address, and forwards the IP telephone‟s data/voice traffic to the BCM (and vice-versa).
Alternatively, if extra security is required for the data/voice traffic, a VPN connection can be initiated via the 1120 and 1140 IP telephones. This requires enhanced IP phone configuration, and a VPN router at the main office hosting the BCM.
Required Information
Before configuring IP Telephony, the following information will need to be confirmed:
Which interface will be used for the Published IP address? Is there a Gatekeeper connected to the BCM, if so, what is the IP
address of the Gatekeeper and the Alias name for the BCM?
If there is no Gatekeeper, what are the IP addresses of the remote
Gateways and what are the telephony destination digits required to dial those systems?
What password will be used for IP Phone registration? Are there any routers that should be referenced as part of the VoIP
configuration? These may be used to provide WAN access for example.
If using the Remote Worker or 1100 series VPN solutions, what is the
public IP address of the router connecting the BCM to the Internet/WAN network.
What telephony configuration is required for IP Telephony? Will DHCP be required for the IP Phones, and if so, will the BCM be set
up to provide IP Addresses to the phones?
NN40011-028 Issue 1.2 BCM Rls 6.0 15
Will the BCM be used to issue IP Addresses to the IP phones?
Ensure that the required keycodes are applied to the BCM: refer to the Keycodes section of this guide.

IP Telephony
NN40011-028 Issue 1.2 BCM Rls 6.0 17
General Configuration
The BCM supports the following IP telephony protocols: UNISTIM, H.323 and SIP.
The IP telephones use UNISTIM. The Symbol NetVision and NetVision Data telephones use H.323+. VoIP Trunks can use either H.323 or SIP (defined on a per gateway
basis)
The applications that control these protocols on the BCM provide an invisible interface between the IP telephones and the digital voice processing controls on the BCM.
Keycodes
The first part of configuration for IP Telephony is ensuring that the required keycodes have been purchased and are entered.
1. In Element Manager, select the Configuration tab and then open the System folder. Select the Keycodes link and the keycodes that have been entered will be displayed.
2. Three keycode types are available, depending on your requirements: VoIP (H.323) or SIP GW Trunks: two trunk protocols for networking
between compatible telephone systems. The number of trunk licence seats enables determines the maximum number of VoIP calls that can be placed over VoIP trunks. SIP GW trunks will be required to connect to ITSPs.
IP Clients: The number of IP Client licence seats determines the
number of IP Phones and Software IP Phones that can be registered against the BCM.

IP Telephony
Note: The exception to this rule is when registering telephones to be used Remote Worker sets. Please refer to the Remote Worker Solution section of this guide for instructions on S1/S2 assignment for this feature.
Note: The Published IP Address is the address that LAN CTE should also register against. For further information, refer to the LAN CTE Guide.
Remote Worker: A single keycode unlocks the Remote Worker
solution
Published IP Interface
The Published IP Interface is the IP Address that IP Telephones need to register against as well as the address that VoIP gateways need to be “pointed” to. You have the choice of selecting the Customer LAN (refer to the Configuring the LAN IP Address section of the System Start Up Guide) or any VLAN IP Addresses (refer to the VLANs Guide) that are configured on the BCM in the IP Subsystem section of Element Manager.
The Published IP Address must be set as the S1 IP (or S2 IP if the BCM will be used as a “backup” registration BCM) when configuring IP phones for registration.
NN40011-028 Issue 1.2 BCM Rls 6.0 19
Use the following procedure to check or set the Published IP Address.
1. From the Configuration tab, open the System folder and select IP Subsystem. Click on the General Settings tab.
2. If checking the existing Published IP Address for IP phone registration purposes, view the read-only field.
3. If changing the setting, from the Published IP Interface drop-down list, select the Customer LAN or any of the VLANs configured on the BCM.

4. A warning box will appear stating that all Voice over IP applications will be restarted. This may result in VoIP calls being dropped. Click OK to continue.
5. If changed, the new setting will be displayed,
6. Changing the Published IP Interface setting also has the effect of changing the S1 Primary Terminal Proxy Server IP Addresses (S1 & S2) in the DHCP Server IP Terminal DHCP Options screen (refer to the DHCP Server - IP Terminal Options section of this guide for further information).
NN40011-028 Issue 1.2 BCM Rls 6.0 21
Attribute
Value
Description
Echo cancellation
<drop-down menu> Enabled w/NLP Enabled Disabled
Enable or disable echo cancellation for your system. Default: Enabled w/NLP (check with your internet system administrator before changing this) Echo Cancellation selects what type of echo cancellation is used on calls that go through a Media Gateway. NLP refers to Non-Linear Processing.
T.38 UDP redundancy
<numeric character string>
If T.38 fax is enabled on the system, this setting defines how many times the message is resent during a transmission, to avoid errors caused by lost T.38 messages.
Note: If any network hardware handling network traffic does not support DSCP, the packets will not be prioritised by that hardware, and will be treated on an equal basis to non–prioritised packets.
Media Gateways
Certain types of IP communications pass through Media Gateways on the BCM. You can control the performance of these communications by adjusting the parameters for echo-cancellation and UDP Redundancy.
The Media Gateways panel allows you to set basic parameters that control IP telephony.
1. Open the Resources folder and highlight Media Gateways. The Media Gateways screen will be displayed on the right. Configure the Parameters as described in the following table.
Media Gateways Settings
Quality of Service (QoS) Settings
The BCM can be configured to mark voice related data packets using the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) feature, so that they have priority over other packets on the network. Prioritised packets pass through network hardware supporting the DSCP feature, ahead of lower priority packets. This has obvious benefits for real time applications such as Voice over IP.
22 NN40011-028 Issue 1.2 BCM Rls 6.0
IP Telephony
Note: Only configure BCM QoS if you have a plan of what types of packets are prioritised on the network, and the levels (class of service) of priority for those packet types.
The following types of data packets can be prioritised:
VoIP Signalling (SIP, H.323, and Unistim) Voice Media T.38 Fax Media (SIP or H.323)
DSCP Marking
Use the following procedure to set the QoS values for VoIP Signalling, Voice Media, and Fax Media packets.
1. In Element Manager, select the Configuration tab. Open the Data Services folder, and click on QoS.
NN40011-028 Issue 1.2 BCM Rls 6.0 23
Note: Avaya Automatic QoS should only be used if there are other devices on the network that support this feature.
2. In the DSCP Marking tab, select either to use Avaya Automatic QoS settings or select the values for each of VoIP Signalling, Voice Media, or Fax Media.
3. A value of CUSTOM can also be selected from the drop-down lists, which will enable a customisable ToS (Terms of Service value) to be entered.
DSCP Mapping
In this area DSCP values are assigned to various service classes. The service classes determine the priority level of the DSCP value.

NN40011-028 Issue 1.2 BCM Rls 6.0 25
IP Telephones
IP telephones offer the functionality of regular telephones, but do not require a hardwire connection to the BCM. Instead, they must be plugged into an IP network which is connected to the BCM.
Calls made from IP telephones through the BCM can pass over VoIP (H.323 or SIP) trunks or across Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) lines.
Avaya provides two types of IP telephones. The IP telephones are wired to an IP network using Ethernet in the case of the IP telephones, or are accessed through your desktop or laptop computer, as in the case of the 2050 IP Softphone.
IP telephones can be configured to the network by the end user or by the administrator. If the end user is configuring the telephone, the administrator must provide the user with the required parameters.
DHCP Configuration
Refer to the following sections if the BCM will be used as the DHCP server for the IP phones.
DHCP Server - IP Terminal Options
If the BCM is configured to pass on DHCP details to IP phones using either the “Enabled – IP Phones Only” or “Enabled – All Devices” options in DHCP Server General Settings, then the BCM should be configured to supply the Primary (S1) and Secondary (S2) Terminal Proxy Server IP Addresses that the IP Phones should register against.
If the BCM will not be passing on DHCP information to IP Phones, then the IP Terminal DHCP Options do not require configuring.
Again, if you have configured the Published IP Interface in the Published IP Interface section, the S1 and S2 will be already set to the Published IP Address. However, you may wish to check these settings.
Use the following procedure to check or change the IP Terminal DHCP Options.
26 NN40011-028 Issue 1.2 BCM Rls 6.0
IP Telephony
1. From Configuration tab open the Data Services folder and select DHCP Server. Click on the General Settings tab. Check to see if the BCM is configured to provide DHCP information to IP Phones.

VLAN identifiers (comma­delimited)
Specify the Virtual LAN (VLAN) ID numbers that are given to the IP telephones. If you want DHCP to automatically assign VLAN IDs to the IP telephones, enter the VLAN IDs in the following format: VLAN-A:id1, id3,…,idn. Where: VLAN-A – is an identifier that tells the IP telephone that this message is a VLAN discovery message. Id1, id2,…idn – are the VLAN ID numbers that DHCP can assign to the IP telephones. You can have up to 4 (BCM50) or 8 (BCM450) VLAN ID numbers listed. The VLAN ID numbers must be a number from 1 to 4094. For example, if you wanted to use VLAN IDs 1100, 1200, 1300 and 1400, you would enter the following string in this box: VLAN-A:1100, 1200, 1300, 1400. If you do not want DHCP to automatically assign VLAN IDs to the telephones, enter VLAN-A:none, in this text box. Note1: The Avaya IP Terminal VLAN ID string, must be terminated with a period (.).

Registering the IP Phones to the System
How you configure the telephones depends on whether DHCP is active on the network. When registering the IP Phones, you have the option of selecting the DHCP setting most appropriate to the network:
DHCP (Full): The DHCP server will provide the following information to
the IP Phones:
o IP Address & Subnet Mask o Default Gateway o S1 & S2 Addresses o Port Number, Action, & Retry Count o VLAN ID
Only use DHCP (Full) if the BCM is supplying the DHCP information to the IP Phones, or the network DHCP server can be configured to supply this information.
DHCP (Partial): The DHCP Server will provide the following
information to the IP Phones:
o IP Address & Subnet Mask o Default Gateway
The rest of the required information will have to be entered manually. DHCP (Partial) is used in situations where the BCM is not acting as the DHCP server to the phones, but another device is. This can also be used in scenarios where the IP Phone is on a remote network.
DHCP (Off): All information will have to be entered manually during the
registration process. Use this in situations where there isn‟t a DHCP
server on the network, or you simply want to configure the settings manually.
When the telephone registers, it downloads the information from the system IP Telephony record to the telephone configuration record. This can include a new firmware download, which occurs automatically. If new firmware downloads, the telephone display indicates the event.
Once registration has completed, you do not need to go through the registration process again, unless you deregister the terminal.

Description and solution
SERVER: NO PORTS LEFT
The system has run out of ports (license seats). This message remains on the display until a port becomes available and the telephone is powered down and then up. To obtain more ports, you can apply additional IP Client keycodes.
Invalid Server Address
The S1 is incorrectly configured with the IP address of a system network adapter other than the published IP address.
IP Address conflict
The telephone detected that a device on the network is currently using the IP address allocated to the telephone.
Registration Disabled
The Registration on the system is set to OFF.
SERVER UNREACHABLE. RESTARTING
Check that you have entered the correct Netmask and gateway IP addresses. If the settings are correct, contact your system administrator.
NEW SET
The telephone has not been connected to the system before, and must be registered.
Problem
Suggested solution or cause
Telephone does not connect to system
If an IP telephone does not display the text Connecting to
server within two minutes after power up, the telephone did not
establish communications with the system. Double-check the IP configuration of the telephone and the IP connectivity to the system (cables, hubs, and so on).
Slow connection between the handset and the system
If the connection between the IP client and the system is slow (ISDN, dialup modem), change the preferred CODEC for the telephone from G.711 to G.729.
One-way or no speech paths
Signaling between the IP telephones and the system uses the system port 7000. However, voice packets are exchanged using the default RTP ports 28000 through 28255 at the BCM, and ports 51000 through 51200 at the IP telephones. If these ports are blocked by the firewall or NAT, you will experience one-way or no-way speech paths.
Change the contrast level
When an IP telephone is connected for the first time, the contrast level is set to the default setting of 1. Use FEATURE *7 and the
UP or DOWN key to adjust the contrast.
Block individual IP sets from dialling outside the system.
If you want to block one or more IP telephones from calling outside the system, use Restriction filters, and assign them to the telephones you want to block. Restriction filters are set up under
Configuration > Telephony > Call Security > Restriction Filters.
Troubleshooting IP Telephones
If a problem is encountered when IP phone attempts to register with the BCM you may see a number of messages appear on the telephones display. These are outlines as follows:

Remote Worker Solution
The Remote Worker solution provides an option for home workers, or BCM users operating on the outside of the BCM‟s network, to connect an IP Phone to the BCM. This solution does not require a VPN, and uses NAT to redirect IP Phone traffic between the connecting networks.
As the Remote Worker solution does not use a VPN (Virtual Private Network), the traffic is not encrypted, although the proprietary binary format is a form of simple encryption.
Example Scenario and Configuration Overview
Detailed below is a simple form of the Remote Worker solution. A BCM user has a home network, and wishes to connect their IP Phone to the office BCM via the internet.
NN40011-028 Issue 1.2 BCM Rls 6.0 43
The following configuration steps are required for the above scenario:
1. The BCM has to be configured with the office router as the Default
Gateway and with the router‟s public IP Address as the Provisioned
Public Address to ensure that network traffic to the remote worker phone is correctly addressed. Additionally, the necessary entitlements of Remote Worker keycode, Support Remote Worker and Enable Registration options are required to ensure the remote phone can register and function on the BCM. The port ranges listed above are configured as default.
2. Next, the office router requires NAT/PAT configuration so that the
desired traffic types (IP Phone signalling and media (voice traffic)) are routed correctly to and from the BCM. In conjunction with NAT/PAT configuration, the Firewall should allow the same ports opening otherwise traffic destined for those ports will be blocked.
3. When the previous steps have been performed the IP Phone will be
able to register on the BCM, using the office router‟s public address as
the primary (S1) and secondary (S2) registration server addresses.
BCM Configuration
1. Launch Element Manager and connect to the BCM.
2. First, check that the Remote Worker keycode has been applied to the
BCM. In the Configuration tab, open the System folder, click on Keycodes and search for the Remote Worker item.
44 NN40011-028 Issue 1.2 BCM Rls 6.0
IP Telephony
3. If Remote Worker is not listed in the Feature Licenses table, contact
your keycode supplier for a keycode file containing this feature and apply the file to the BCM by clicking on the Load Keycode File… button.
4. Check that the BCM‟s Published IP Address and Default Gateway are
configured correctly. Under the System folder, click on IP Subsystem. The Default Gateway should be the LAN address of the office router (in this scenario). Also, the Published IP Address should be accessible from the router.
5. These settings should have been configured as part of the System
Start Up process. If they require changing, refer to the Configuring the LAN IP Address section of the System Start Up Guide.
NN40011-028 Issue 1.2 BCM Rls 6.0 45
6. The Public IP Address of the router now needs to be configured on the
BCM. Under the System folder, click on IP Subsystem. In the Public Network area click on the Modify button.
7. You can choose to manually enter the public address of the router to
be used in the Remote Worker solution in the Provisioned Public Address field,
or tick the Address Discovery Flag to attempt to automatically discover the router public IP address using Stun. To do this, enter the Stun Server Address in the available field.
46 NN40011-028 Issue 1.2 BCM Rls 6.0
8. For either method, click OK when the appropriate details have been
entered. Either the Provisioned Public Address or Discovered Public Address will be displayed, depending on which Discovery Setting method was used.
9. Next, the IP Telephony settings require configuration. Open the
Resources folder, click on the Telephony Resources folder and select IP Sets.
IP Telephony
10. In the Details area in the lower part of the screen, tick the Support
Remote Worker checkbox. Without this option enabled, remote workers will not be able to connect to the BCM. (You will notice the Provisioned/Discovered Public Address information as configured previously.) Click OK on the resulting WARNING screen (refer to the Remote Worker Security Considerations section for information on securing the system whilst the Support Remote Worker option is enabled).
NN40011-028 Issue 1.2 BCM Rls 6.0 47
Note: It is always good practice to disable registration (un-tick the Enable registration checkbox) when known IP phones have been registered. This
prevents unauthorised phones from registering on the BCM, and using the system fraudulently.
11. Ensure that the general IP Terminal Registration details are configured
to allow IP Phones to register. Please refer to the Preparing Your System for IP Telephone Registration section of this guide for full details.
12. Lastly, check that the signalling and RTP over UDP port ranges are
entered on the BCM. Open the Resources folder and click on Port Ranges. The corresponding values should be used in the router configuration. The default values for a BCM50 are shown below. A BCM450 would have the RTP over UDP ranges of 30000 – 30999.
13. The BCM is now configured for the Remote Worker feature.
48 NN40011-028 Issue 1.2 BCM Rls 6.0
IP Telephony
Note: The S1 and S2 addresses entered during the registration process should be the public address of the router the BCM is connected to (e.g.
217.35.6.35 in the scenario described earlier).
Router Configuration
The office router (in this scenario) will require NAT/PAT configuration to route the remote worker IP phone signalling and media traffic to and from the BCM. Also, corresponding firewall configuration will be required to allow the signalling and media to reach the BCM, and return to the public network.
As previously described the ports that require NAT/PAT and firewall configuration are as follows:
7000 – 7002 30000 – 30099 (BCM50) 30000 – 30999 (BCM450)
Configuring the Remote IP Phone
The IP should be registered as described in the Registering IP Phones to the System section of this guide.
Remote Worker Security Considerations
Enabling the Remote Worker feature can leave the BCM vulnerable to fraudulent use by unauthorised parties. If certain settings are left in their default state and the public IP address of the router is known, external IP phones could be registered against the BCM and fraudulent use of BCM facilities would occur.
To prevent against such fraudulent use, ensure the following security steps are taken:
Ensure any accounts that have telset programming privileges have
their passwords changed, and that the passwords are changed on a regular basis. This will help prevent system resources being assigned to unauthorised remote sets. Refer to the User Management Guide for details on account management.
Change the default Global Password used for registering the set. After authorised sets have registered, disable the Enable Registration
option.
2050 IP Softphone
The 2050 IP Softphone (also referred to as the i2050) allows you to use a computer equipped with a USB headset to function as an IP terminal on the BCM system. The 2050 IP Softphone uses the computer IP network connection to connect to the BCM. Designed to look and feel like the desktop 1140 IP phone, there are also two additional compact skins, available in black and silver.
NN40011-028 Issue 1.2 BCM Rls 6.0 49
The 2050 IP Softphone is an IP Telephony application that allows you to make calls over the LAN and WAN from your computer. The Software Phone provides classic telephony services, a local telephone Directory, easy access to Voice Mail, Caller ID information and multiple telephone lines or line appearances.
Now included with the 2050 IP Softphone are incoming and disconnect call popups, and a software Expansion Module which emulates an i2004 Key Expansion Module with 54 Keys. Calls arriving on keys on the software Expansion Module do not support incoming and disconnect popups.
The installation files for the 2050 IP Softphone are contained on a CD, which can be obtained from your BCM supplier, or from www.avaya.com.
Licensing
Each 2050 IP Softphone will require a keycode license seat on the BCM (refer to the Keycodes section of this guide). Additionally, the 2050 IP Softphone itself should be licensed, which can be achieved via one of a number of methods:
1. Using the BCM HTTP server
2. Node-Locked Licensing
3. A Licensing Server
The licensing process detailed in this guide will be the BCM HTTP server.
BCM HTTP Server Licensing
This is perhaps the simplest method of licensing the 2050 IP Softphone. License files are served from the BCM to the 2050 Softphone, unlocking the i2050 and enabling full functionality. License files are specific to each installation of the i2050.
Application of the license via the BCM HTTP server method consists of the following steps:
1. Install the i2050 on a PC.
2. Obtain the i2050 hardware ID. Your keycode supplier will need this
information.
3. Obtain the license files from your keycode supplier.
4. Upload the license files to the BCM HTTP server.
5. Set the Provisiong Server Protocolfield to HTTP and the URL to the
location of the BCM.
6. Restart the i2050. It will search for the licensing information on the
BCM and install the license, allowing the i2050 to connect to the BCM.
Full steps will be detailed in the Licensing the i2050 Using the BCM HTTP
Server Method section of this guide. Node-Locked Licensing
Node-locked licenses are specific to each i2050 installed on a specific PC. Once the licensing file is installed on the PC, the license is valid until the i2050
50 NN40011-028 Issue 1.2 BCM Rls 6.0
IP Telephony
is uninstalled. This mechanism negates the need for a Licensing Server to be installed on the network.
Application of the license via the Node-Locked method consists of the following steps:
1. Install the i2050 on a PC.
2. Obtain the i2050 hardware ID. Your keycode supplier will need this
information.
3. Obtain the license files from your keycode supplier.
4. Place the .license files in the default location of a TFTP server.
5. Set the TFTP server address in the i2050 Provisioning Server IP
Address field.
6. Restart the i2050. It will search for the .cfg and keycode information
and install the license, allowing the i2050 to connect to the BCM.
For further information concerning the Node-Locked Licensing method, please consult the Avaya document IP Phones Fundamentals (NN43001-368).
Licensing Server
A Licensing server can be installed on a networked PC, which will allow a certain amount of i2050s to connect to and function with the BCM. This method does not require a license to be generated for each i2050 on the KRS. Instead, a number of seats can be purchased and applied to the Licensing Server, which will then control the number of i2050s installations that can connect to the BCM.
If an i2050 is licensed via the Licensing Server method, the i2050 uses a heartbeat mechanism to validate the license every 2 mins. If the heartbeat is
lost, i.e. the i2050 can‟t connect to the server, the i2050 will try to reconnect 5
times and if the connection cannot be re-established then the i2050 will lose its licence and hence its connection to the BCM. Therefore, if using a Licensing Server it is imperative that the PC on which it is installed is available at all times.
For further information concerning the Licensing Server method, please consult the Avaya document IP Phones Fundamentals (NN43001-368).

3. Double-click in the Key Label field that you want to re-label, and enter a new description. Press the tab key to accept the change.
Hot Desking
The Hot Desking feature allows a user to divert calls and signals from one IP telephone to another. For example, if a user is temporarily working in another office, they can retain their telephone number by hot desking their usual telephone to the IP telephone in their temporary office.
Hot desking can be accessed using FEATURE *999 on the telephone to which the traffic will be diverted. The user can also evoke this feature from the Services key menu, where it is defaulted as the first item on the list.
Hot desking must be allowed on the originating telephone and you need to specify a password. These settings are found under the ADMIN key within the hot desking feature. Hot desking is invoked through the DIVERT key within the hot desking feature.
If the originating telephone does not have hot desking allowed, the user will receive a Not Allowed prompt, indicating that the telephone is not available for hot desking. This prompt also occurs if the originating telephone is on a call when the diversion command was issued.
Once hot desking occurs between two IP telephones, no activity is allowed on the originating telephone, except to cancel hot desking. The display on the originating telephone indicates where it has been diverted. On the diversion telephone, the key displays will reflect the displays from the originating telephone.
Call forwarding to voice mail continues as normal. Voice mail can be accessed from the active IP telephone, as if it were the originating telephone.
When hot desking is cancelled, this can be performed from either telephone, the displays for each telephone return to normal. If you forget the password, hot desking can only be cancelled from the originating set.
NN40011-028 Issue 1.2 BCM Rls 6.0 79
Note: When you cancel hot desking, ensure that the telephone is on-hook. If you have just hung up, wait 10 seconds before attempting to cancel hot desking.
Use the following procedure to set up a password and activate the feature on the originating IP handset:
1. Enter FEATURE *999.
2. Press ADMIN.
3. Enter a new password, or change an existing password, and press OK.
4. Confirm the password, and press OK.
5. Allow/disallow hot desking, as required by pressing CHANGE.
6. Press QUIT to exit.
Using hot desking:
1. At the telephone you will be using to answer diverted calls, enter FEATURE *999 or access the hot desking feature by pressing the services key and selecting from the feature display list.
2. Press the soft key under the displayed DIVERT.
3. Enter the DN (extension number) of the telephone you want to divert to this telephone.
4. Enter the password of the diverted telephone.
The buttons on your telephone will mimic the buttons on the diverted set. The diverted telephone indicates that it has been diverted, and it cannot be used until hot desking is cancelled.

VoIP Gateways
With a VoIP trunk, you can establish communications between a BCM and a remote system across an IP network.
The BCM system supports SIP and H.323 trunk protocols. Both types of trunks support connections to other BCMs, a central call server such as Succession 1000/M, and trunk-based applications. SIP trunks support connections to ITSPs for enhanced call routing capability.
SIP trunks and H.323 trunks are assigned to a single Pool, and the routing decision to route calls via H.323 or SIP is made based on the routing modes of the two services (Direct/Gatekeeper/Proxy) and the combined routing table.
If the BCM will only use one of the trunk protocols then only configure the associated tabs, i.e. if the BCM will only utilise H.323 then the SIP-specific settings do not require configuration.
Configuring the Local Gateway Settings
The VoIP trunk access point at each system is called a gateway. The gateway to your system, the local gateway, determines how incoming and outgoing calls will be handled.
The local gateway parameters define how the BCM allows call signalling information to be directed through VoIP trunks. Call signalling establishes and disconnects the calls.

Configuration (click on the Modify button to configure)
*Call signalling
Direct Gatekeeper Resolved Gatekeeper Routed Gatekeeper Routed no RAS
Direct: call signalling information is passed directly between endpoints. The remote gateway table in the Element Manager defines a destination code (digits) for each remote system to direct the calls for that system to route. In each system, the IP Terminals and H.323 Terminals records map IP addresses to specific telephones. Gatekeeper Resolved: all call signalling occurs directly between H.323 endpoints. This means that the gatekeeper resolves the phone numbers into IP addresses, but the gatekeeper is not involved in call signalling. Gatekeeper Routed: uses a gatekeeper for call setup and control. In this method, call signalling is directed through the gatekeeper. Gatekeeper Routed no RAS: Use this setting for a NetCentrex gatekeeper. With this setting, the system routes all calls through the gatekeeper but does not use any of the gatekeeper Registration and Admission Services (RAS).
Enable H245 tunnelling
<check box>
If Enabled, the VoIP Gateway tunnels H.245 messages within H.225. The VoIP Gateway service must be restarted for a change to take effect. Default: Disabled.
Primary Gatekeeper IP
<IP address>
If Gatekeeper Routed, Gatekeeper Resolved or Gatekeeper Routed no RAS are selected under Call Signalling, type the IP address of the machine that is running the gatekeeper.
Backup Gatekeeper(s)
<IP address>,
NetCentrex gatekeeper does not support RAS, therefore, any backup gatekeepers must be entered in this field. Note: Gatekeepers that use RAS can provide a list of backup gatekeepers for the end point to use in the event of the primary gatekeeper failure.
If Gatekeeper Routed, Gatekeeper Resolved, or Gatekeeper Routed no RAS are selected under Call Signaling, enter one or more alias names for the gateway
Alias Names
Alias names are comma delimited, and may be one of the following types: E.164 - numeric identifier containing a digit in the range 0-9. Identified by the keyword TEL: Example: the BCM is assigned an E.164 and an H323 Identifier: Alias Names: TEL:76, NAME:bcm10.avaya.com
NPI-TON - also referred to as a PartyNumber alias. Similar to E164 except that the keyword indicates the NPI (numbering plan identification), as well as the TON (type of number). Identified by one of the following keywords: PUB (Public Unknown Number); PRI (Private Unknown Number); UDP (Private Level 1 Regional Number (UDP)); CDP (Private Local Number (CDP)).
H.323Identifier - alphanumeric strings representing names, e-mail addresses, etc. Identified by the keyword NAME:

Value
Description
Example: The BCM is assigned a public dialed number prefix of 76, a private CDP number of 45, and an H323 Identifier alias: Alias Names: PUB:76, CDP:45, NAME:bcm10.avaya.com
H.225 (Q.931) CallingPartyNumber (NetCentrex gatekeeper) - The NetCentrex gatekeeper uses the H.225(Q.931) CallingPartyNumber to resolve the call originator for billing purposes. This number must then contain a unique prefix, or location code that is unique across all endpoints that are using the NetCentrex gatekeeper. Identified by the keyword src:. Example for private networks: CDP alias = src:<DN>; UDP alias = src:<LOC><DN>. Example for public network: src:<public OLI>
Note: E164 or NPI-TON alias types are commonly used since they fit into dialling plans. A BCM alias list should not mix these types. Also, the type of alias used should be consistent with the dialling plan configuration. Use the same alias naming method on all BCMs within a network.
Configuration note:
Network note: If your private network contains a Meridian 1-IPT, you cannot use Radvision for a gatekeeper.

Description
Enable Voice Activity Detection
<check box>
Voice activity detection, also known as silence suppression identifies periods of silence in a conversation, and stops sending IP speech packets during those periods. In a typical telephone conversation, most of the conversation is half-duplex, meaning that one person is speaking while the other is listening. If voice activity detection is enabled, no voice packets are sent from the listener end. This greatly reduces bandwidth requirements. G.723.1 and G.729 support voice activity detection. G.711 does not support voice activity detection. Performance note: Voice activity detection on all networked BCMs and IPT systems (VAD setting on IPT systems) must be consistent to ensure that interacting features such as Transfer and Conference work correctly. As well, the Payload size on the IPT must be set to 30ms. Default: Disabled

Enable T.38 fax
<check box>
Enabled: The system supports T.38 fax over IP. Disabled: The system does not support T.38 fax over IP
Caution: Operations note: Fax tones that broadcast through a telephone speaker may disrupt calls at other telephones using VoIP trunks in the vicinity of the fax machine. Here are some suggestions to minimize the possibility of your VoIP calls being dropped because of fax tone interference: Locate fax machine away from other telephones. Turn the speaker volume on the fax machine to the lowest level, or off, if that option is available.
Force G.711 for 3.1k Audio
<check box>
When enabled, the system forces the VoIP trunk to use the G.711 codec for 3.1k audio signals such as modem or TTY machines. Note: This setting can also be used for fax machines if T.38 fax is not enabled on the trunk

Provide in­band ringback
<check box>
This setting affects in-bound SIP trunk calls. If you select the check box, the BCM attempts to stream ringback, tones, or announcements in-band to the caller using RTP. This setting results in in-band ringback. It can be useful in tandem scenarios to transfer DTMF if the final leg in the tandem connects to an IVR that plays announcements before connecting the call. Attention: Fax tones that broadcast through a telephone speaker may disrupt calls at other telephones using VoIP trunks in the vicinity of the fax machine. Here are some suggestions to minimize the possibility of your VoIP calls being dropped because of fax tone interference: Locate the fax machine away from other telephones. Turn the speaker volume on the fax machine to the lowest level, or off, if that option is available.
