warranty defect in Product hardware reported to Force10 Networks by BUYER during the warranty
period, Force10 Networks, as its sole obligation and BUYER's exclusive remedy for any breach of
warranty, will use commercially reasonable efforts, at its option, to:

Preface

With respect to a warranty defect in the Licensed Software reported to Force10 Networks by BUYER
during the 90-day software warranty period, Force10 Networks, at its own expense and as its sole
obligation and BUYER's exclusive remedy for any breach of the software warranty, will use
commercially reasonable efforts to, at its option,

a. correct any reproducible error in the Licensed Software, or

b. replace the defective Licensed Software, as follows:

Should a Severity 1 or 2 warranty defect with the Software occur during the 90-day
warranty period, Force10 Networks will provide, in its sole determination, either

1. software to resolve the defect to be downloaded into the affected units by the
BUYER or

2. a documented workaround to address the issue.

Severity 1 issues are failures of the Licensed Software to comply with the Force10 Networks
software specifications and that completely or severely affect the Force10 Networks Product and
its traffic or service capacity, or maintenance or monitoring capabilities.

Severity 2 issues are failures of the Licensed Software to comply with the Force10 Networks
software specifications and that result in a major degradation of the Force10 Networks Product
so as to impact its system or service performance, or significant impairments to network operator
control or effectiveness. Should a Severity 3 warranty defect with the Licensed Software occur
during the 90-day warranty period, Force10 Networks will provide assistance to Buyer to
determine if a solution or workaround will be provided in a subsequent software release
following the reported issue.

Severity 3 issues are defined as failures of the Licensed Software to comply with the Force10
Networks software specifications but that do not significantly impair the function or service of
the Force10 Networks Product or the system.

Determination of Severity 1, 2 or 3 shall be made solely by Force10 Networks following receipt
of the reported problem. Refurbished material may be used to repair or replace the Product.

Overview

Overview

This manual covers the Router menu-driven user interface only, all other information
for the Router can be found in the Adit 600 User Manual.

The Router can be configured using CLI via telnet, through the Router Menu-driven
software.

The CMG Router has the following versions:

 CMG Service card

 CMG-01 Service card

 CMG-02 Service card

 CMG/CMG-02 Service card with G.729

Windows displaying the G.729 feature will be clearly noted in this manual.

Installation

The Router card can be installed into any of the service card slots (1-6) of the Adit 600
chassis. This card is hot-swappable, therefore the card can be removed and replaced
without bringing down the system or with or without power to the unit.

Install a Router Card

1. Slide the Router card into a service card slot of the chassis.

2. Press firmly into slot to engage, until card is seated completely.

3. Card has completed bootup when a solid Red CRD light (an LED) is displayed.

Install Country Specific Ringer Tones

The CMG Router card ships with a set of call progress tone files that allow call progress
tone definitions for a number of other countries to be used.The tones are played to a
VoIP endpoint at the direction of an external MGCP call agent. By default the call
progress are defined to match the United States standard call progress tones.

Tones are loaded via TFTP directly to the CMG Router card. All supported country
tones are provided on the software CD with the CMG Router. For more information see
the Adit 600 User Manual.

1-2 CMG Router - Release 2.97

Introduction

Maneuvering in the System

NOTE: Use of ringer tones requires an Adit 600 Controller with release 5.0 or
higher and CMG Router release 1.1 or higher.

Syntax: load {cmg_card-addr} tftp {ip-addr} {"tone_file"}
Example: load 2 tftp 172.26.100.25 "us.tdb"

Once a tone file is loaded into a CMG Router card it will remain in effect until replaced
by another. It is not removed when the CMG Router card is set back to its default
settings.

Start Channel - Set the starting channel of which to apply the following voice channel

configuration to. Range is 1 to 48, default is 1. Start channel must be less than or equal to the end
channel.

End Channel - Set the last channel of which to apply the following voice channel configuration

to. Range is 1 to 48. Note: End channel must be equal to or greater than the start channel.

Channel Status - Puts the channel In-Service or Out-of-Service.

<Enabled> - Brings the channel back into service. This will cause an RSIP message to be sent to the

call agent, with the "restart" value for the Restart Method parameter.

<Disabled> - Puts the channel Out-of-Service. Once channel is out-of-service, the call agent cannot
access the endpoint IP associated with the voice channel.

Event Log - Sets the parameters of the log.

<None> - Event log is set to not log errors.
<Errors> - Event log is set to record protocol and other errors only.
<MGCP> - Event log is set to record MGCP protocol events.
<Both> - Event log is set to record MGCP protocol events and errors.

Endpoint Prefix - Defines the common part of the MGCP endpoint name for a voice channel.

The default prefix is "aaln". The Endpoint Prefix is a text string with 1 to 16 characters.

Endpoint Suffix - Defines the variable part of the MGCP endpoint name for a voice channel. The

default suffix is the voice channel number. The Endpoint Suffix is a text string with 1 to 16
characters.

Receive Gain (dB) - Defines the gain on the receive side (packet-to-TDM) voice path for the

specified voice channel. The default gain is 0 dB.

Transmit Gain (dB) - Defines the gain on the transmit side (TDM-to-packet) voice path for the

specified voice channel. The default gain is 0 dB.

Silence Suppression - Enables or disables silence suppression as the default for voice calls for

one or more voice channels.

<Disabled> - Do not use silence suppression unless overridden by the call agent.
<Enabled> - Use silence suppression if possible, with no override by the call agent.

Voice Channels

Type of Service - Defines the default value for the Type of Service (TOS) in the IP header of

outgoing VoIP packets for the specified channel. The initial default is zero. The definition of the TOS
byte is provided in IETF RFC 791 for the original method of packet classification, and in RFC 2474
for the differentiated service method of classification. In the original classification scheme, the first
(leftmost) 3 bits of the TOS byte represents the "precedence" or priority. Bit 4 (from the left) indicates
optimize for delay. Bit 5 indicates optimize for throughput. Bit 6 indicated optimize for reliability.

DTMF Relay - Enables or disables the relay of DTMF packets as per RFC 2833.

<Disabled> - Disables DTMF Relay as the default for voice calls.
<Enabled> - Enables DTMF Relay as the default for voice calls. Default.

Slash - Removes implied slash between endpoint and suffix and prefix.

<Disabled> - Suppress the use of a slash between the endpoint prefix and suffix.
<Enabled> - Insert a slash between the endpoint prefix and suffix.

Calling Party Disc - When the CMG receives a disconnect message, and the leg being

disconnected is the only leg of a call remaining, CPD is applied to the call as follows:

<Disabled> - Do not apply CPD.
<Enabled> - Apply CPD. (Use the "CPD Two Way" setting, described on page 3-43, to specify

whether CPD is applied to both the terminating and originating call or just to the terminating call.)
<Osi> - Apply CPD to either terminating or originating calls, only if the channel has received an OSI
signal event notification.

Fax - Sets the fax handling for this endpoint.

Note: For the Fax to operate the following must be set:

 CMG G.729A feature must be enabled, with a software key

 Specified voice channel has Fax configured as T38reserved or T38
 G.729A codec is enabled

<none> - Fax calls to/from the voice channel are handled as normal voice calls. Note: G711mu is
the only codec that will result in good fax and modem calls. In this mode echo cancellation must
be OFF for modem calls, and ON for fax calls.

<bypass> - Fax calls to/from the voice channel are handled using the fax bypass procedure (Gateway-

controlled fax bypass using NSEs). After a call is connected to the channel in voice mode, if a fax
tone is detected on the channel, the CMG will transmit NSEs to the remote gateway to tell it to switch
to a G.711 codec and then it will switch to a G.711 codec itself for that channel and disable silence
suppression. For the switchover to be successful, the remote gateway must also switchover to G.711.
The form of G.711 (mu-law or A-law) to which the codec is switched will be the form which has the
highest priority in the negotiated codec list. Note: Either G711mu or G711a must be on the

algorithm preference list for Fax Bypass to work.

CMG Router - Release 2.97 3-49

Profile Directory:Router Card Profile

Voice Channels

<T38> - Fax calls to/from the voice channel are handled using T.38 method (Gateway-controlled
T.38 fax relay using NSEs) if DSP resources are available. When no DSP resources are available
(6 active T.38 fax calls) the card will reject the T.38 connect request and revert the channel to fax
bypass mode using the G.711 codec.

<T38reserved> - Fax calls to/from the voice channel are handled using T.38 method (Gateway­controlled T.38 fax relay using NSEs). Since this method pre-allocates DSP resources, the user can
only configure up to 6 T.38 connections per card.

Modem - Sets the modem handling for this endpoint.

<none> - Modem calls to/from the voice channel are handled as normal voice calls. Note: G711mu
is the only codec that will result in good fax and modem calls. In this mode echo cancellation
must be OFF for modem calls and ON for fax calls.

<bypass> - Modem calls to/from the voice channel are handled using the modem bypass procedure

(Gateway-controlled modem bypass using NSEs). After a call is connected to the channel in voice
mode, if a modem tone is detected on the channel, the CMG will transmit NSEs to the remote gateway
to tell it to switch to a G.711 codec and then it will switch to a G.711 codec itself for that channel and
disable silence suppression. For the switchover to be successful, the remote gateway must also
switchover to G.711. The form of G.711 (mu-law or A-law) to which the codec is switched will be
the form which has the highest priority in the negotiated codec list, or the one offered by the far end
gateway. Note: for modem calls (not fax calls), the gateway that initiated the bypass

(terminating gateway) then sends a "Disable echo cancellation" NSEs (193). After this both
gateways should turn off echo cancellation.

Signaling Type

<FXS LS> - FXS Loop Start. Default.
<FXS GS> - FXS Ground Start.

Short Inter Digit - Configures the short interdigit user dialing timeout on a voice channel. This

is the time allowed between dialed digits when the T or I address template specification is in effect.
For example, if the address specification is "xxxxT", and 4 digits have been dialed, this short timeout
is in effect. If the timer expires, the call will be routed to the destination. If another digit is dialed
before the timer expires, address processing will continue, using the long interdigit timeout. The
range is 1-10 seconds, with a default of 4.

Long Inter Digit - Configures the short interdigit user dialing timeout on a voice channel. This

is the total time allowed between dialed digits after the first, unless short timing is in effect. If the
originator does not dial the next digit in this time period, the call is torn down. The range is 1-60
seconds, with a default of 16.

Echo Cancellation - Enables/disables echo cancellation as the default for voice calls for a voice

channel.

<Disabled> - Disable echo cancellation as the default for voice calls.
<Enabled> - Enables echo cancellation as the default for voice calls. Default.

Echo Tail (ms) - Defines the maximum round-trip delay expected in the voice path between the

CMG and the phone, including acoustical delay at the phone. Options are: <8>, <16>, <24>, <32>
and <64>. Default is <16> milliseconds.

VOIP Algorithm Preference Order - Defines the order preference of voice coding

algorithms for VoIP calls, on the specified voice channel(s). Up to 6 algorithms can be listed, in order
of preference. This list limits the acceptable codecs for a particular voice channel to those specified.
This can be used to limit voice channels that have a modem or fax machine attached to use only
G.711. Default settings list all algorithms, selections can be changed to none.

RFC2833 Options
Signals

<disable> - Disable signaling in RTP payloads. Default.
<abcd> - Use abcd signaling in RTP payloads.

Payload Type

<default> - Will be the value of the DTMF relay telephone event payload type. Default.
<number> - Range between 96-127.

Repeat Count

Set the number of initial RTP message repeats at the time of signal transition. Range is 0-10
repeats. Default is 2.
Note: a repeat of 2 times, in essence is a message, followed by 2 repeats.

Repeat Interval

Set the interval of RTP messages at the time of transition in milliseconds. Range is 1-50
milliseconds, with a default of 5.

Refresh Interval

Set the periodic refresh interval of RTP signaling states. Range is 500-4000 milliseconds, with
a default of 4000.

AIS Feature

AIS Feature

The AIS Feature enables generation of a T1 alarm indication signal (AIS) on the drop­side MGCP-controlled voice trunk (T1) when an error condition exists on the network­side Ethernet interface. When this feature is enabled, the CMG card sends an AIS
request to the controller under either of the following circumstances:

 The CMG Ethernet port enters a failed state (LOS)

 Communication with the Call Agent fails (RSIP or NTFY no response)

In response, the controller activates AIS on all T1 interfaces that are cross-connected
to the CMG VoIP ports. The controller generates an alarm indicating that the T1 is in
AIS due to network-side loss of connectivity. When the failure condition clears, the
controller clears AIS on the T1 interfaces and clears the associated alarm.

MGCP Lockout

MGCP Lockout enables lockout of all MGCP VoIP channels on the network-side
Ethernet interface when an error condition exists on the drop-side T1 voice trunk.

When the MGCP Lockout feature is enabled, the controller sends a "set lockout mode
on" message to the CMG card whenever a T1 that is cross-connected to CMG VoIP
ports is in an alarm state. In response, the CMG locks out all corresponding MGCP
channels. The controller generates a major alarm indicating that the CMG is in a
lockout condition due to a drop-side T1 failure. When the T1 alarm clears, the
controller sends a "set lockout mode off" message to the CMG. In response, the CMG
clears the lockout state.

LAN (Local) Profile Setup

LAN (Local) Profile Setup

The LAN Profile is the largest, most detailed portion of the Router software. The fields
on this screen allow definition of how data transmission will occur on the unit’s LAN
port. This includes defining the protocol(s) that it will use to send and receive data,
defining security protocols, specifying which LAN servers and networks will be
advertised to WAN units, and establishing specific data filtering options.

The LAN profile is used in conjunction with the WAN profiles. The WAN profiles
identify which remote units the local unit can communicate with, as well as the data
transmission requirements of each remote.

In addition to the fields on this screen, there are several other areas that directly relate
to the communication abilities of the unit. You may use the fields at the bottom of this
screen to access the following areas:

 Defining static addresses at the local unit

 Establishing static networks

 Establishing Remote (WAN) advertising

 Establishing DHCP Server/Client/Relay agent parameters

 Defining firewalls

 Defining data filters

The Router can accommodate a maximum of 500 filters, such as those created when
establishing static routes or data filters. The following entries consume a filter:

 Configured address, custom and protocol filters

 Static IP networks and static IPX networks

 Enabling any learned items listed on the Advertise Network/Server screen or

Filter Network/Server screen

 Static IP and MAC Addresses

 Firewall filters

In a large network, it is necessary to selectively use each of these options so that the
number of configured filters is within the maximum allowed.

The Local Profile is used to define the Local (LAN) port parameters for the unit at the
present location.

Protocol

This column includes three protocol options, IP, IPX and Other. These protocols are used to
define Frame Types and LAN Network Updates to be used by this unit.

Frame Types

Define the frame type of the packets that are sent and received by the Router. If a packet is
received formatted in a frame type that has not been enabled, the Router will not accept the data.

NOTE: Multiple frame types may be supported simultaneously for IPX and
Other protocols.

802.2

When selected (X) this Router may send and receive packets that match the 802.2 format. The 802.2
format complies with IEEE specifications.

Eth II

When selected (X) this Router may send and receive packets that match the Ethernet II format. Note
that the IP protocol commonly uses this format.

SNAP

When selected (X) this Router may send and receive packets that match the SNAP (Subnet Network
Address Protocol) format.

802.3

When selected (X) this Router may send and receive packets that match Novell’s X802.3 format.

LAN Network Updates

Use the LAN Network Updates field to determine whether the Local (LAN) unit will learn, via
RIP and SAP packets, which networks and services are attached to the local LAN, and whether

Remote (WAN) networks and services will be advertised to the LAN. If this information is
learned, it may be advertised to remote devices if advertising is established. Use the

[SPACEBAR] to select from the following options: <Both>, <Neither>, <Send> and

<Receive>.
