The SRG50 Configuration Guide describes how to install, configure, and maintain the Survivable
Remote Gateway (SRG) 50 Release 3.0.
The SRG50 is positioned as a cost-effective Small IP Branch Office solution for CS 1000 Main
office systems. The SRG50 offers business continuity and public switched telephone network
(PSTN) failover for voice over IP (VoIP) networks. An SRG provides transparent operation,
feature and application parity with a main office call server while in normal operating mode. If
connectivity with the call server or wide area network (WAN) is lost, the normal mode sets revert
back to local mode. The SRG takes ownership of call control for the local sets automatically and
provides internal communications as well as external connectivity to the PSTN.
SRG50 supports H323 and SIP Trunking and up to 80 survivable IP users with a single SRG
application authorization code. It is provided as a cost-effective VoIP business continuity solution
for small branch offices. The SRG50 supports CS 1000 Release 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, and 5.5.

Audience
The SRG50 Configuration Guide is intended for two audiences:
•the individuals responsible for engineering the SRG50 site and installing the BCM50,
configuring it for operation as an SRG50, and connecting it to the network
•the individuals responsible for post-installation system administration and
maintenance.
The SRG50 site engineer and installer must be familiar with BCM50 hardware and software, and
IP telephony and VoIP trunk configuration on the BCM50.

SRG50 creation
An SRG50 is created by applying the appropriate SRG keycode to a functional BCM50 system.
SRG50 is only supported on the BCM50 and BCM50b main units. Integrated router versions of
the BCM50 (BCM50a, BCM50e, BCM50ba, and BCM50be) do not support the SRG50
application.
The Installation Checklist and Quick Start Guide is provided on the SRG50 Documentation CD
that is shipped with your SRG50 system. Instructions in that guide are referenced in the following
procedures. Also, the relevant BCM50 default IP addresses, user names, and passwords are
excerpted from that guide and provided for your reference in the table BCM50 default IP addresses

Table 6 SRG50 terminology (Sheet 2 of 2)
TermDescription
Target LinesTarget lines are internal, virtual paths between trunks and telephones for incoming calls
(only). They provide flexibility in the way trunks and telephones can be associated: target
lines can be used to direct an incoming call to one or more telephones, direct one or
more trunks to one phone, or direct several trunks (in a line pool) to one or more phones.
Target lines are assigned to DNs. A target line triggers ringing voltage to the telephone(s)
connected to the port(s) associated with the DN(s) that the target line is assigned to. (For
example, if a unique target line is assigned to each DN, only one telephone rings when
the DN is called. If several DNs are assigned to one target line, calling any of the DNs
ring all of the associated phones.)
Target lines are required for auto-answer trunks. Because VoIP lines are set internally to
auto-answer, target lines are required for SRG operation.
Element Manager provides two methods for assigning target lines to DNs.
1) Configuration > Telephony > Sets > All DNs > All DNs table > Details for DN subpanel
> Line Assignment tab
or
2) Configuration > Telephony > Lines > Target Lines > Target Lines table > Details for
Line subpanel > Assigned DNs tab
The first method provides a convenient way to assign the target line to the DN when the
DN record is configured. The second method provides fields that allow incoming digit
strings to be mapped to the DN.
(Lines 125 to 268)
For more information about target lines, see the Networking Configuration Guide
(NN40020-603).
Line poolSeveral of the same type of trunk configured as one group: a trunk group.
Coordination with the main office call server
Configuration of the SRG branch office requires datafill at both the SRG and the main office call
server. Main office configuration drives SRG configuration, and Nortel recommends that the main
office activities be concluded before undertaking SRG configuration.
For information, see CS 1000 considerations on page 33.
SRG operating modes
The SRG has two operating modes:
•Normal mode
•Local mode
Normal mode
In normal mode (see the figure Normal mode on page 22), the SRG is connected to the main office
call server over a WAN using VoIP trunks. From the perspective of the main office, the SRG is a
branch office.

Figure 1 Normal mode

Normal mode
IP telephones connected at the SRG are registered with the main office call server and are under
main office control. They operate as branch user sets and have access to all telephony services and
features that the call server offers to IP telephones connected directly to the main office.
When a branch user set initiates a local PSTN call, the main office sets up the call using the VoIP
trunks, which establishes a local media path. Emergency Services Access calls are similarly routed
to the SRG PSTN. The telephone is redirected to local mode and the SRG initiates a local PSTN
call to 911. For main office callers, the SRG acts as a VoIP-PSTN gateway during normal mode.
When call forwarding has been configured, incoming PSTN calls to the branch user set are
forwarded over VoIP trunks (either H.323 or SIP) to the main office, which terminates the call at
the branch user. Similarly, calls from analog telephones connected to the SRG to the branch user
set are forwarded to the main office over VoIP trunks, which then terminates the call at the branch
user. Calls from the branch user set to the analog telephones at the SRG are routed over the VoIP
trunks to terminate at the analog telephone. In all these call scenarios, only signaling messages go
through the VoIP trunk. The media path is set up directly between the branch user set and the voice
gateway at the SRG. This means that these calls do not use any WAN bandwidth between the main
office and the branch office after calls are established.
When a branch user IP telephone calls a main office IP telephone and vice versa, the call is a
simple station-to-station call within the main office call server. Since the branch user IP telephone
is physically remote from the call server, the media path goes through the WAN connection
between the main office and the SRG, and thus uses WAN bandwidth, as demanded by the codec
used in the call.
NN40140-500NN40140-500
Local mode
In the event of a WAN failure or the call server at the main office becomes unavailable, the
IP Phones in normal mode revert to local mode automatically. In local mode, the IP users
connected to the SRG are under the control of the SRG. When in local mode, main office call
features are not available to users attached to the SRG. The SRG offers a set of basic features for
the IP telephones, including access to the local PSTN, dialing emergency service numbers, and
calling local extensions. For a complete list of local mode features, see Features in local mode on
page 62. Local mode is illustrated in the figure Local mode on page 23.
Note: The IP Phone KEM is supported on an SRG with normal mode IP Phones.
It does not function with local mode or test local mode IP Phones.

Local mode
The SRG handles all call processing. Calls between two IP telephones at the SRG are handled
locally as a simple station-to-station call. When an IP telephone initiates a local PSTN call, the
SRG routes the call to a trunk that is connected to the local PSTN. Incoming DID calls are also
handled by the SRG and terminated on the appropriate IP telephone set.
In local mode, the IP telephones do not have access to the main office network over the VoIP
trunks. If alternate routes are configured, then calls can be made to the main office or other branch
offices using the available PSTN trunks.
Several situations, described below, can cause the IP phone to be in local mode.
Initial registration
When the IP telephone is installed, it first registers with the SRG, and is in local mode. When the
SRG configuration at the main office and the SRG is complete the IP telephone is redirected to the
main office, where it registers as a branch user and changes from local mode to normal mode.
SRG50 Configuration Guide
24Chapter 2 SRG50 overview
Automatic registration with the main office
When configured as a branch office user set, an IP telephone at the SRG automatically attempts to
register with the main office when:
•The phone is in local mode because of loss of connectivity with the main office, and
the SRG is redirecting it back to the main office because connectivity has been
reestablished (see Loss of WAN or VoIP connectivity on page 24).
•The phone is in local mode because Test Local Mode was invoked and the timer has
expired or the Exit button is pressed.
•The phone is in local mode, the main office is a CS 1000, and this is the first time that
the phone has been redirected to the main office.
The IP telephone can fail to register with the main office for several reasons. These are detailed in
Probable causes for redirection failure on page 85.
Loss of WAN or VoIP connectivity
The WAN or VoIP connectivity between the main office and the SRG can become unavailable if,
for example, router failure occurs, the main office becomes unavailable, a WAN failure occurs, or
the VoIP trunks reach capacity. When VoIP connectivity is lost, each IP telephone loses its
connection with the main office terminal proxy server. The IP telephones reboot and reregister at
the SRG, placing them in local mode. If enabled, call forwarding to the main office is
automatically cancelled.
The IP telephones remain under the control of the SRG until VoIP connectivity is confirmed.
When confirmation is received, the IP telephones are automatically redirected to the main office;
redirection requires no user intervention. If the telephone is busy at the time that connectivity is
reestablished, the SRG redirects the phone when it is free.
Test Local Mode
Test Local Mode is a facility that allows the IP telephone to be redirected back to the SRG when it
is in normal mode. This forces the IP telephone to go into local mode and allows the telephone
user or system administrator to test local mode operation without taking down the VoIP trunks to
the main office. Implementation of Test Local Mode depends on the main office call server. For
more information, see CS 1000 considerations on page 33.
SRG installation and configuration summary
The SRG50 Configuration Guide provides information specific to configuring a BCM50 as an
SRG. Information pertaining to generic BCM50 practices and procedures is provided in the
BCM50 documentation suite.
Generally, SRG50 activities leverage an installer’s general knowledge of BCM50 activities.
However, Nortel recommends that the BCM50/SRG50 site engineer and installer familiarize
themselves with SRG-specific requirements before starting any installation activities.

7The SRG supports four analog loop trunks on the main unit*. Verify the line pool assignment
of these trunks.
In the default configuration, these trunks are assigned to line pool A. Instructions in the
SRG50 Configuration Guide assume that the default configuration has been maintained.
Configuration > Telephony > Lines > Active Physical Lines > Active Physical Lines table
