Chapter 1: MPS 1000 System Hardware

Overview

MPS 1000 System

The Avaya Media Processing Server (MPS) 1000 system is contained within one or more standard
(84'') or tall (90'') Avaya cabinets. A large MPS 1000 system can consist of one or more server and
processor cabinets. Refer to your System Definition Package (SDP) for the list of components in
your system.

MPS 1000 Server Layout

The layout of the major components in a basic MPS 1000 Server is shown in the following diagrams.

For additional images of cabinet layouts, see MPS 1000 Cabinet Configurations on page 257.

Front Control Panel

There is one Front Control Panel (FCP) for each Variable Resource Chassis (VRC) in the MPS
cabinet. the front of the FCP is shown in the following diagram.

12 Avaya Media Processing Server 1000 Hardware Installation and Maintenance October 2014

Comments? [e-mail]

Variable Resource Chassis

The FCP provides switches to control power to slots in the associated VRC, to test the power
supplies, and indicators to display status and alarms. See MPS Indicators and Controls on
page 160.

The location of an FCP in an MPS cabinet is shown in the following diagram.

Variable Resource Chassis

When used in an MPS 1000 Server, the VRC contains:

• up to four Telephony Media Server (TMS) assemblies configured as Digital Trunk Controllers
(DTC)

• one auxiliary processor board

• one or two Network Interface Controllers

• up to five power supplies, one for each populated slot

• two available drive bays

The VRC has four front and two rear plug-in slots.

Note:

In multiple chassis and cabinet systems, some VRCs, do not contain all the assemblies shown
in the preceding diagram.

Telephony Media Server

The Avaya Telephony Media Server (TMS) is the core functional module of the MPS 1000. The
basic TMS assembly contains local data processors, shared memory, digital signal processors
(DSP) for basic resources, data network interfaces (Ethernet), and Computer Telephony (CT) bus
interfaces for voice communications.

Telephony Media Server

The TMS is installed with at least one phone line interface, a Digital Communications Controller
(DCC), in one of the four slots.

Note:

The TMS can also be populated with a Multiple DSP Module (MDM), in one or more of the
remaining open slots.

Figure 6: TMS Assembly Front View

The internal and external connections of the TMS are shown in the following schematic.

Figure 7: TMS Schematic

Digital Communications Controller (DCC)

The Digital Communications Controller (DCC) provides the digital phone line interfaces for the
system. The DCC can be plugged into any of the four slots of the TMS. The DCC is dedicated for
either a T1 or E1 system and connects phone line interfaces to the PSTN through an RJ48M
connector (up to eight spans). See

The DCC/CTPM/TPM card set can also interface with a telephony network using SIP/RTP. A DCC/
CTPM/TPM configured for SIP/RTP has no telephony connector on the front panel.

MPS 1000 System Hardware Overview

Qualified service personnel use the serial console connector for diagnostic purposes and for
verifying and configuring the boot ROM. See Field Programmable Gate Arrays on page 19.

Other connectors and indicators are provided on the DCC front panel but are reserved for future
enhancement.

DCC-3000

The DCC-3000 is the newest version of the DCC family. The DCC-3000 adds two 10/100 Ethernet
ports and is available with or without full echo cancellation. The DCC-3000 can provide 256
channels of 64 millisecond (ms) echo cancellation. This feature is controllable by software on a per­channel basis.

To determine if echo cancellation is installed on the DCC-3000 board, run the following command:

From the command line, run the command devlist.

If the command returns the following:

CARD_ID 503647401A_.5036436017, echo cancellation is installed.

If the command returns the following:

CARD_ID 503647402A_.5036436017, echo cancellation is not installed.

Note:

The card ID on your system may not match the card IDs in this example. However, the last digit
in the first series of numbers (1 in CARD_ID 503647401) is a 1 on boards with echo cancellation
and a 2 on boards without echo cancellation.

You can also determine if echo cancellation is installed by looking at the top view of the DCC-3000.
The following diagram shows a DCC-3000 with echo cancellation (area enclosed by the red
rectangle). If this area is not populated, echo cancellation is not installed.

Field Programmable Gate Arrays

The TMS and the modules that plug into it, contain Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). The
software that configures the FPGA is called an image.

FPGA and the Boot ROM

FPGAs are dynamic devices and do not retain their image definition when power is removed. The
image definition for each device is loaded from an image definition file (*.idf) during the system boot
sequence. The TMS contains a boot ROM that statically stores the names of the .idf files for the
devices on its motherboard and the modules that are plugged in.

When a new system is installed, when an existing system has components added or replaced, or
when the system is upgraded, the boot ROM must be verified. See

Verifying and Modifying Boot

ROM Settings on page 139.

Local Resources (DSPs)

The TMS motherboard contains DSPs programmed to make resources available. Examples of TMS­supported resources are:

• Player (ply) - Vocabularies or audio data can be played from local memory on the TMS
motherboard.

• DTMF Receiver (dtmf) and Call Progress Detection (cpd) - Phone line events such as
touchtone entry, hook-flash, dial tone, busy signals, and so on can be detected.

• Tone Generator (tgen) - In lieu of playing tones as vocabularies, DTMF and other tones can be
generated.

• R1 Transmit (r1tx), R1 Receive (r1rx), and R2 (r2) - Tone generators and detectors that
support R1 and R2 protocols.

If the resident DSPs are fully allocated to resources or protocols, capacity for more resources can
be added by installing a MDM in an open TMS slot and loading the image definitions for the
resources required.

Multiple DSP Module

The Multiple DSP Module (MDM) contains twelve DSPs for configuring additional resources. There
are no indicators or connectors on the front panel of the MDM. The only visible indication that an
MDM is installed in a TMS slot (versus a blank), is bend tabs near the center of the front bracket that
secure it to the MDM circuit board.

MPS 1000 System Hardware Overview

Figure 10: MDM Front View

For example, the MDM can provide 8 channels of FAX for a total of 16 channels per TMS.

Configuration of resources and protocols is covered in

Network Configuration on page 73.

Ethernet LAN Interface

The TMS interfaces with the system LAN by dual redundant Ethernets using TCP/IP. The chassis
Ethernets (designated A and B) are connected through the VRC backplane to separate hubs on the
chassis Network Interface Controller (NIC) or Hub-NIC.

Computer Telephony Bus Clocking

Voice and audio data is transmitted throughout the MPS 1000 over a synchronized Computer
Telephony (CT) bus system.

Figure 11: CT bus System Schematic

Dual redundancy for the CT bus is provided externally to the TMS. Conversation bridging across
multiple chassis is over a fiber optic link, (155Mb, ATM layer 1) provided (optionally) by the NIC

2000. This type of bridging is limited to a two-chassis environment. Systems larger than two VRCs
require the addition of one or more external Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switches. Dual­Redundant systems need two external ATM switches.

Any DCC on the node can be configured as the source of either REFCLK_A or REFCLK_B. The
local reference oscillator on any TMS can be used for either reference clock.

VRC Rear Panel

Multiple sources can be specified for both REFCLK_A and REFCLK_B in the synclist section of the
TMS.cfg file. Clock monitoring and selection provides several prioritized layers of redundancy so
that even multiple failures are compensated for by switching to other clock sources.

The VRC rear panel has two BNC connectors (EXT CLK A and EXT CLK B) for connecting to
external timing sources.

Caution:

These connections are for proprietary use by Avaya personnel only. Do not connect to these
BNC connectors.

VRC Rear Panel

The VRC rear panel contains controls, indicators, and connectors that are mainly used for
maintenance and diagnostics. See VRC Rear Panel on page 163.

Network Interface Controller

Each VRC in the system can contain one or two NICs (primary and secondary). If two NICs are
used in the chassis, a midplane board is installed over the backplane connector of the NIC slot. The
midplane effectively splits the slot, providing separate connectors for each NIC. The two connectors
on the midplane board are logically assigned slots 7 (primary) and 8 (secondary) for addressing.

MPS 1000 System Hardware Overview

Time Space Switch

Each NIC contains a time space switch for the redundant Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) highways.
With all four TMS in the chassis connected to a common CT bus, all lines can be bridged on a
nonblocking basis. The single PCM port for each TMS and single set of PCM highways is split to
both NICs. If a fault occurs in the primary switch, the secondary takes over. Primary and secondary
operation of the Ethernet and PCM highways are independent.

Ethernet Hub/Switch

Because the NICs are identical (that is, they can be installed in either slot), there is a hub for both
ENET A and ENET B on each. However, the primary NIC (installed in slot 7) always controls ENET
A and the secondary NIC (installed in slot 8) controls ENET B. One port of each NIC hub is
connected to a VRC rear panel data connector to provide connection to an external cabinet
switching hub so that multiple chassis can be networked.

Optical ATM Interface

Each NIC also provides a fiber optic ATM interface for connecting the PCM highways to an external
ATM switching fabric, if so configured.

VRC Power Supplies

VRC Power Supplies

Each slot in the VRC has a separate dedicated power supply. The power supplies are identical and
can be installed in any of the six slots. The slot that each power supply is associated with is
indicated on the decals on the drive bay doors. The output of each power supply is provided to the
respective module slots by the power bus on the VRC backplane.

The Power Supply LEDs are illuminated when sensors on the NIC determine that the individual
voltages are within tolerance. In systems where a NIC is not present, these LEDs are not
illuminated.

The NIC slot has not dedicated power supply. If any slot (1-6) has power applied (that is, the
corresponding slot power supply is installed and slot power is on), the NIC slot receives power. The
NIC has a momentary reset button that removes and reapplies power to the board when the button
is pressed and released. A soft reset can also be performed on the NIC at the command line. See

Resetting the NIC on page 147.
