SmartNode 10200 Series User Manual 1 • General Information
SN10200 overview
Service providers are adding VoIP
capabilities to their networks,
whether to reduce costs when interconnecting with other carriers, to
cost-effectively build out their network footprints, or simply to transport voice traffic across their IP
backbones. This can be best accomplished using a 16 to 64 E1/T1
SmartNode 10200 Series media gateway, which enables the delivery of VoIP services by bridging voice traffic
between the public switched telephone network (PSTN)—based on time-division multiplexing (TDM)—and
IP networks such as the Internet. Whether sitting at the network core or at the edge, SmartNode media gateways enable service providers to introduce VoIP into their networks while maintaining the quality and the reliability of traditional TDM networks.
Features
• TDM Interfaces
Service providers, whether providing local, long-distance or international voice services, are interconnected
with a multitude of other providers using T1/E1, DS3 or STM-1 links. It is critical for service providers to
be able to rapidly establish new interconnections without having to always deploy new devices. SmartNode
10200 Series media gateways therefore offer flexibility and can be configured to support T1/E1, DS-3 or
STM-1 interfaces.
• Signaling and Control Protocols:
Just as flexibility in the selection and deployment of TDM links is a key requirement for service providers,
the need to support multiple signaling protocols across various carrier partners is just as important. Each
SN10200 media gateway provides support for the concurrent use of ISDN, SS7/C7, CAS (R2), SIP, and
SIGTRAN signaling in the same device. The ability to provide both switching and conversion across multiple TDM and IP signaling protocols at once is paramount to enabling the operational flexibility and cost
savings that drive service providers to expand their carrier relationships and converge their networks.
In parallel with the TDM and IP signaling protocols mentioned above, SN10200 devices also support the
H.248 media gateway control protocol, which enables any H.248-compliant 3-party softswitch to control a
media gateway. While the softswitch manages call control interactions, the SN10200 handles transmission
of call media as well as any required transcoding.
• Media Handling
Service providers will use one or more codecs on their VoIP networks according to their desire to save bandwidth, to provide a certain level of voice quality, or simply to interoperate with other VoIP devices or providers. The ability to support multiple different concurrent codecs and to allocate them in real time based
on traffic is the key to delivering true network convergence.
SmartNode 10200 gateways feature extensive support for various wireline, mobile and IP telephony audio
formats, delivering seamless transcoding in real-time. The media gateways ship with support for G.711,
G723.1, G.726, and G.729ab right out of the box, with no additional license fee required. They also offer
optional support for mobile and IP vocoders such as AMR, AMR-WB (G.722.2), GSM-FR/GSM-EFR,
SN10200 overview 14
Page 15
SmartNode 10200 Series User Manual 1 • General Information
EVRC/QCELP, G.728, G.729eg, and iLBC. SN10200 gateways offer independent dynamic codec selection per channel. This means that it is possible to assign different vocoders to different channels, on a channel-by-channel basis. The devices can then run all of these codecs concurrently and do so with no impact on
system performance.
SN10200 gateways also provide unparalleled support for Internet-based fax, also known as Fax over IP or
Fax relay, using the T.38 protocol, which is used to carry fax communications over an IP network. (They
also support the T.30 protocol for fax over the PSTN.)
• System Density
SN10200 gateways feature the industry’s highest system density in a 2U form factor. Beside the capital savings achieved by purchasing less units of equipment, system density also provides operational cost savings in
the form of reduced co-location fees as well as lower power and cooling costs.
• Energy Efficiency
For many, if not most, service providers, the payoff from reducing energy use can be particularly impressive;
typically, for every watt of power required to operate a device, another watt is required to cool it. The
SN10200 media gateways can play a major role in reducing energy costs, with an average two-thirds less
power consumption than competing products of similar capacity.
• Provisioning and Maintenance
For network convergence efforts to contribute positively to revenue and profitability, service providers must
maintain their reputation for uptime and availability during the introduction, operation, and maintenance
of new services. The SN10200 offers OAM&P, an operations, administration, maintenance, provisioning
(OAM&P) solution. OAM&P enables the service provider to perform the initial set-up of the SN10200
media gateway and any subsequent maintenance operations. These range from the simple, such as the collection of statistics and alarms, to the more complex, such as system configuration changes, the addition of
new hardware or software components, and the application of software patches or software upgrades.
SN10200 model codes
The SmartNode 10200 series consists of several models. They differ in the type and number of PSTN interfaces and voice channels supported. All models come equipped with one serial console management port, one

Accessing and Navigating the Web Interface
This section describes how to login and navigate the SmartNode 10200 Web Portal.
Connecting to the web server and logging on to the Web Portal
The first step involved in initially configuring any Smart Media system involves logging on to the Web Portal.
This can be divided into two distinct tasks: Connecting to the web server, and logging on to the Web Portal.
Connecting to the web server
Using a web browser, connect to the Web Portal by typing the following in your address bar:
– http://[DEVICE HOST NAME]:12358
or, alternately,
– http://[DEVICE IP ADDRESS]:12358
Logging on to the Web Portal
In order to log on to the Web Portal configuration tool, enter the root user ID and password. The default values for these
parameters are:
– User ID: root
– Default password: root
Navigating the Web Portal
Effective use of the Web Portal requires a basic understanding of the physical elements of the tool, how to
access its various components and knowing your current location in the Web Portal display. The following
topics are covered: Navigation and Information Panels and Knowing Your Location.
Navigation and Information Panels
The Web Portal has been designed with a consistent streamlined approach for the presentation of Smart Media
configuration data. Information related to the hierarchy of data is displayed in the left-hand navigation panel,
while information related to a selected category is displayed in the information panel found on the right side of
the window.
Selecting a category in the navigation panel causes related configuration and status information to be dynamically displayed. The navigation panel displays information in a tree-like structure enabling you to understand
how configuration parameters are contained by others.
Note
Figure 12 on page 35 shows the SmartNode 10200 Web Portal. The naviga-
tion panel is located to the left of the screen. The infomation panel is located
to the right.

Managing Users
This section describes how to mange user access levels in the SN10200 Web Portal. (Refer to “Connecting to
the web server and logging on to the Web Portal” on page 34 for information about how to login to the Web
Portal).
Understanding User Access Levels
The Web Portal is designed to provide varying degrees of write and read privileges to users. By default, the root
user is given full read and write access. This is required so that the root user can function as the system administrator without any restrictions imposed. Subsequent users can be created with the ability to read and write, or
just to read. An integer value from 0 - 9 is assigned to each user.
Figure 14. SN10200 User Access Levels
• A user with an access level of 0 has access to configurations created with levels 0 - 9.
• A user with an access level of 4, will have access to configurations created with user levels 4 - 9.
• Configurations created with user levels 0 -3 will be invisible to user levels 4-9.
Viewing the User List
It is possible to create an unlimited list of users, each with an assignment from 0-9. Any user can view the entire
list of users, however only a root user with an access level of 0 can modify the access rights of other users.
To view the user list:
1. Select Users from the navigation panel.
