Overview of the CX Video Gateway
CX Video Gateway overview
The CX Video Gateway is a CCXML-based call server that provides call control and transaction capabilities for calls made between the PSTN and IP networks. The gateway provides the following functionality:
Supports the SIP telecommunications protocol and the ISDN or ISUP protocols.
Processes audio information, or both audio and video information, depending on the model.
Terminates T1/E1 TDM audio trunks.
Defines routes using CCXML applications.
Optionally provides in-band DTMF support.
Optionally connects incoming faxes to a third-party T.38 server.
Optionally provides fast call setup techniques to speed up 3G-324M call setup
time.
Produces detailed event logs with multiple information levels.
Provides a web-based console, called the Vision™ Console, to configure and
manage the gateway.
Provides an SNMP interface for monitoring application usage and server health.
The gateway is installed as a daemon on Linux machines and is composed of the following components:
Signaling protocols and models
Media capabilities
CCXML scripting engine
SNMP agent and sub-agents
Fast call setup
These components are based on specific hardware support, including media boards and signaling boards.
Dialogic 11
Overview of the CX Video Gateway Dialogic® Vision™ CX Video Gateway Administration Manual
Signaling protocols and models
The gateway can implement the following signaling protocols:
ISDN, which is available with the ISDN audio and ISDN video models.
ISUP, which is available with the ISUP audio and ISUP video models. These
models are available with one or more signaling servers.
All CX Video Gateway models use SIP/RTP signaling to in terface with the IP network. For more information, see ISDN models on page
15 and ISUP models on page 16.

CCXML scripting engine
The CCXML scripting engine enables the CX Video Gateway to execute applications written in the W3C Working Draft of CCXML dated 29th June 2005 (http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-ccxml-20050629). You can use CCXML to write applications that provide call control for the durat ion of a phone call, including call setup, monitoring, and tear-down. You can also use CCXML applications to provide call routing and conferencing functionality.
For more information, see Managing CCXML applications on page gateway routing on page
126, and the Dialogic® Vision™ CCXML Developer's

Manual.

Overview of the CX Video Gateway Dialogic® Vision™ CX Video Gateway Administration Manual
SNMP agent and subagents
The CX Video Gateway provides an SNMP interface that lets you monitor gateway performance, view statistics, monitor a RAID server, and receive alarms. The gateway uses Net-SNMP as a master agent and the DS1, Call Server, and RAID subagents. The master agent supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3.
For more information, see the Dialogic® Vision™ SNMP Reference Manual.
Fast call setup
The CX Video Gateway supports the following techniques for speeding up 3G-324M call setup time:
Packed H.245 messages, which groups independent H.245 messages together into a single NSRP command frame. This reduces the number of message round-trips, and thus reduces call setup time.
Windowed Simple Retransmission protocol (WNSRP), an H.245 transport improvement technique that is standardized in ITU-T Recommendation H.324 and accepted into the 3G-324M standard by 3GPP.
Media oriented negotiation acceleration (MONA), which unites the technologies for H.324 call setup acceleration under a common framework. MONA was approved by the ITU-T in August 2006, and is recommended in 3GPP Release 7 in TR 26.911.
Note: You must obtain the appropriate license to use one of these techniques. For information, see the readme file for this release.
The CX Video Gateway does not support:
The signaling preconfigured channel (SPC) MONA technique.
Preconfigured channel media frames encapsulated in MONA signaling
preference messages.

ISUP scalable deployment model
For scalability, multiple CX Video Gateways can be deployed where the ISUP termination on one gateway provides the signaling between the SS7 access network and each of the other gateways in the system.
In this model, the gateways are configured to share the single signaling point code terminated by the gateway with ISUP interface. This configuration allows for high density deployments for a single signaling point code.

Video Transcoder interconnect
The CX Video Gateway controls the video transcoder resources and inserts the transcoder in the video media path between the gateway and the target IP endpoint. The communication interface to the IP endpoint is SIP. The interworking of the gateway has proprietary control of the video transcoder. Video traffic is routed to and from the video transcoder via RTP. Audio traffic flows separately from the gateway to the IP endpoint via RTP.
Video model with a single Video Transcoder
In the simplest case, a video transcoder is mated with the CX Video Gateway. The gateway is configured with this single video transcoder system which is used to complete gateway routes for the negotiated video codecs.

Configuring the CX Video Gateway
Overview of configuring the CX Video Gateway
All software is pre-installed and pre-configured on the CX Video Gateway. However, software parameters are set for the manufacturing environment. You must re­configure some of these parameters so that the system operates properly at your site.
Use the Vision™ Console to set up the gateway software. Using this tool, you enter field values and the tool automatically modifies th e configuration files for your model.
This section describes how to use the Vision™ Console to set up the gateway software. It contains the following topics:
Gathering information
Logging into the gateway for the first time
Accessing the Vision™ Console
Creating or revising a configuration
Backing up a configuration
Restoring a configuration
Accessing the gateway using a secure shell
Note: After you create the CX Video Gateway configuration, you can fine tune it if necessary. For information, see Overview of fine tuning the gateway configuration on page 111.
