Chapter 2 Installing VIP

This chapter gives information on how to install VIP.

2.1 Network Requirements

For VIP successfully operate in your network, your network must meet the following requirements:

1. A working 10/100 Base-T Ethernet. VIP connects to Internet via an Ethernet LAN.

2. IP network that supports gateway, and subnet mask. You’ll need a static IP address to assign VIP.

2.2 Installing VIP

VIP can be used in a desktop configuration or mounted in a standard 19-inch rack enclosure (VIP000 only). Ensure that VIP is placed in a clean, well-ventilated, and vibration-free environment.

When VIP is placed on a desktop, be certain that the unit is placed on a sturdy, flat surface, near a grounded power outlet. At least three inches of clearance must be provided on both sides of VIP for well ventilation.

2.3 Installing the telephony interface module (VIP-000 only)

VIP allows the installation of up to two TIMs. The following steps illustrate how to install a TIM:

1. Unfasten the two screws holding the cover of the TIM slot A on the rear panel.

2. Remove the cover.

4. Before proceeding further, wear a grounded wrist strap.

5. Remove the TIM from its static-free bag. Holding the module such that the metal

bracket is facing toward you.

6. Carefully align the edge of the module facing away from you with the slide-in guide in-

side VIP, and insert the module into the slide-in slot until it is fully sited.

7. Fasten the screws on the module.

8. Repeat step 1 through 6 for slot B if you have two TIMs. If you have only a single TIM,

be certain to install it in slot A, otherwise, VIP won’t function.

2.4 Connecting to the telephony devices

VIP-000 supports three types of TIM. One is FXO, FXS and the other is E&M. Each module has four ports for connecting to telephony devices. VIP-200 equips two FXS interface for connecting to regular analog telephone sets or FAX machine. VIP-400 equips two FXO and two FXS interfaces to have the great flexibility of PBX connection (FXO), and telephone or FAX machine connection

VIP User’s Manual

(FXS). VIP-400FS equips four FXS interfaces telephone set or FAX machine connections (FXS). VIP-400FO equips four FXO interfaces to have the great flexibility of PBX connection (FXO)

VIP-FXO module is designed for connecting to PBXs (extension line) or central office switches (CO line).

VIP-FXS module is designed for connecting to analog telephone sets or G3 fax machines. Connecting the telephony devices to the appropriate RJ11 ports on the TIM.

VIP-E&M module is designed for connecting to equipment (such as PBX or channel bank) providing the tie-line connection, type V, 4-wire. Connecting the tie-line port to the appropriate RJ45 port on the TIM.

Warning: connection of incorrect telephony devices to the ports on the TIM can cause permanent damage to the TIM and/or VIP.

2.5 Connecting to the Network

The RJ45 network port on the front panel supports 10/100 Mbps half-duplex connection to Ethernet Network. You can use either category 3 or 5 straight-through UTP cable for 10 Mbps connections, but use Category 5 for 100 Mbps connections. To connect to Ethernet, insert one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port on the front panel of VIP and other end of the cable to an Ethernet switching hub or repeater hub.

2.6 Providing Power to VIP

To provide AC power to VIP complete the following steps:

1. Turn the power switch on the rear panel of VIP to the off position.

2. Connect one end of the power cord that came with VIP to the power receptacle on the rear panel.

3. Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC power outlet.

4. Turn the power switch on. VIP will perform power on self-test. After completing the self-test, the SYSTEM LED blinks continuously and the TIM indicators on the front panel will turn on.

2.7 Assigning IP address to VIP

The IP address is the unique logical address identifying each IP node, such as VIP, on an IP network. An IP address is a 32-bit number expressed as four decimal numbers from 0 to 255 separated by periods. VIP needs a static IP address and be aware of the subnet mask and default gateway (typically a router) of your network to be able to send to and receive data from the IP network. Consult your network manager to obtain a unique and static IP address for VIP, the IP subnet mask and default gateway of your network, and fill out the work sheet in Appendix D before configuring the gateway. Procedures for assigning IP address, default gateway and subnet mask is available in Chapter 4.

VIP User’s Manual

Chapter 3 VIP Concepts

VIP enables the transmission of voice and fax traffic over any IP network by digitizing voice and fax signals, encapsulating the information within IP packets, and then sending the packets across the IP network

3.1 How VIP Operates

1. The TIM inside VIP digitizes analog voice signals at 8 Kbps.

2. VIP system software handles the:

Ÿ Capture of telephone number presented as DTMF tones. Ÿ Mapping the telephone number to the IP address of remote VIP. Ÿ Setting up calls with remote VIPs utilizing H.323 call control protocol. Ÿ Digitizing, compressing and encapsulating the voice into IP packets and transmission of the

IP packets onto the Ethernet LAN.

3. A router attached to the LAN forwards the IP packets across the WAN, where they will be received by another VIP at the remote.

4. The process is reversed at the remote VIP.

3.2 ATPM

To allow you to easily dial a telephone or fax on the network, VIP maps a series of dialed digits to the IP address of the remote VIP whose phone or fax you are calling. This mapping information is contained in a database inside each VIP called the dial plan.

Based on the dial plan the Address Translation and Parsing Manager (ATPM) inside VIP translates telephony numbers to IP addresses of remote VIPs. The ATPM collects telephone number dialed by users, decides whether the dial string is part of the dial plan and, if it is, maps it a remote VIP. When the call is set up to the destination, a substring of the original dial string will be sent along to the remote VIP.

3.3 Destination

The destination is where a call is terminated. Typically, for inbound calls from IP network, VIP terminals the call at one of the telephony ports. The destination for the call is the telephony port where the call terminated. For calls initiated from telephony ports, VIP forward the call to a remote VIP via IP network, and the remote VIP terminal the call. The destination of the call is the remote VIP.

VIP Concepts 9

VIP User’s Manual

3.4 Hunt Group

Instead of directly mapping a phone number to a destination, the ATPM first maps the phone number to a group of destinations known as a Hunt Group. A hunt group is a group of destinations that are equivalent. For example, the customer support group of a company might have 20 peo-

ple who can handle support calls. Access to customer support is through a single phone number but the next available support person is actually connected upon each incoming call. These 20 phones would be configured as a hunt group. A hunt group consists of a phone number and a list of destinations (members of the group). When an incoming phone

number matches the phone number of the hunt group, VIP attempts to terminate the call at each of the destinations in the hunt group, one at a time until a call is successfully completed.

Every destination that can be reached by dialing a phone number is a member of at least one hunt group. When an address is presented to ATPM for lookup, the output is a hunt group ID number. As a second step, the hunt group ID is presented to ATPM to get the list of members. To effectively bypass the hunt group feature, simply make a unique hunt group for each destination and one member in each hunt group.

The dial plan is a database inside VIP for the ATPM to map telephony numbers users dialed to the IP address of remote VIPs. The dial plan consists of the destination table, hunt group table and the address table. Users need to setup these tables, so that VIP knows how to setup calls with remote VIPs.

Address Table

The address table maps a phone number to a hunt group. The table contains entries that specify the following information:

• Telephone number

• The hunt group the phone number maps to.

• The minimum number of digits to collect before the ATPM starting address lookup.

• The maximum number of digits the ATPM collects before it considers the dial string is

complete.

• Number of digits forward to the destination. Address table sample:

Address Entry Hunt Grp_Id Min. Digits Max. Digits

200 1 3 3 0 None 201 3 3 3 0 None 899 11 3 3 0 None

Hunt Group Table

The hunt group table maps a hunt group to a list of destinations. Hunt group sample

Group id Type #Members Member ids

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 2 1 1 3 2 1 2 5 2 1 4 11 2 1 11

Destination Table

The destination table maps a destination to a telephony port or the IP address of a remote VIP. Destination table sample

Dest id Mode Destination

------------------------------------------------------ 1 Local PORT = 0 3 Local PORT = 2 5 Local PORT = 4 11 H.323 Dest = 192.168.0.55/1720 TCP 12 DNS Dest = planetvip.dyndns.org /1720 TCP

3.6 DTMF Relay

Voice from PSTN is compressed by VIP before sending across the IP network and then decompressed by the destination VIP. The voice coders supported by VIP are designed for ideally compressing and decompressing human voice. If the compression / decompression process is performed on DTMF tone which needs to be conveyed across IP network, distortion might be too significant to be not cognizable in the receiving end. To overcome the shortcoming that the voice coders cannot perfectly encode DTMF tone, VIP encodes DTMF tone into special packets. The packets are then sent to the destination VIP via a separate IP connection. The destination VIP decodes the packets, generates the DTMF tone, and then sends the tone to the PSTN. The way VIP handles DTMF tone is so called DTMF relay.

VIP handles DTMF relay per H.323 specifications. Certain third party VoIP devices may handle DTMF relay per IMTC standard. For VIP to interoperate with those VoIP devices, users need to specify which remote VoIP devices uses IMTC conforming DTMF relay technique. Refer to CLI command set h323 imtc_dtmf {add|del} ip_addr for detailed information on how to select DTMF relay mode.

3.7 Voice Codecs

Voice codecs supported by VIP include G.711, G.723.1 5.3kbps, G.723.1 6.3kbps and G.729 AB. When setting up a call, two VIP automatically negotiate with each other until an agreed upon codec is determined.

Chapter 5 Making a Call with VIP

This chapter how to make phone calls from telephony devices connected to VIP directly or indirectly.

5.1 Making a call with VIP FXS Module

VIP has two slide-in modules. FXS module can connect to analogue phone directly, and FXO module can connect to PBX.

Connection: analogue telephone set connects to FXS module port

Operation:

1. Pick up this analogue telephone set, you can hear VIP dial tone at the telephone set

2. The related LED will be lighted at the green color when the telephone set is pick up. For Example: If the telephone set is connected to the second port of FXS in slot B. When you

pick up the telephone set, the second LED will be at the green color, it means on, in slot B of front panel.

3. We can dial the desired destination phone number at the telephone set. If the desired desti-

nation phone number is legal, VIP will play two quick address ack tones, Du Du, to destination. If the desired destination phone number is illegal, VIP will play three quick out of service tones, please check the dial plan and your desired destination phone number.

5.2 Making a call with VIP FXO Module

Connection: analogue telephone set connects to FXO module port

Operation:

1. Pick up this analogue telephone set, you can hear the PBX dial tone at the telephone set. In

some cases, you have to dial a specific number to get the connection between telephone set and PBX.

Command Line Interface

VIP User’s Manual

Chapter 7 Command Line Interface

VIP has a built-in command line interpreter and provide users a Command Line Interface (CLI). You can configure VIP by entering commands from the CLI.

You can access the CLI from a VT-100 terminal or terminal emulator connected to the RS-232 port on the front panel or through a Telnet session.

7.1 Connection through Serial Port

The serial port of VIP is fixed at the following settings:

Baud rate

Number of data bit

Parity check

Number of stop bit

Flow control

To access VIP through the RS-232 serial port, follow the steps below:

1. Insert one end of the serial cable that came with VIP into the 9-pin RS-232 port (labeled User Console) on the front panel.

2. Insert the other end of the cable into your terminal’s serial port.

3. Configure the terminal so that settings for baud rate, number of data bit, parity check, number

of stop bit and flow control capability exactly match VIP’s serial interface. (Refer to you terminal documentation for more information about setting up these features).

4. Press <Return> from the terminal.

5. VIP displays the following prompts on the terminal and you are ready to access the CLI then.

EVIP>

19,200 8 None 1 None

7.2 Connection through Telnet

To use Telnet, you must have previously set the IP address using the net set ip command for VIP. Refer to the section describing the net set command later in this chapter for information about setting the IP address. Up to two sessions through Telnet are possible. To access VIP from a remote host with Telnet, perform the following tasks:

7.3 Command Help

Help for commands is provided by the CLI. Type help to see a listing of the top-level commands. On most cases, if you enter a command using the wrong number of arguments or inappropriate arguments, the CLI will give further usage.

7.4 Designating IP Address

Some commands require an IP address, which must be designated in a standard format. The IP address format is 32 bits, written as four octets separated by periods (dotted decimal format) that are made up of a network section, an optional subnet section, and a host section, as shown in the following example:

192.168.0.1

7.5 Designating Port Number

Some commands require a telephony port number. VIP designates the first port on TIM slot A as port number 0, the 2nd port as port number 1 and so on. When a TIM is installed in slot B, the first port is designated as port number 4, the 2nd one is designated as port number 5 and so on.

7.9 Configuration Management Commands

The configuration management commands allow the user to set values for system configuration parameters. In addition, it provides mechanisms to allow a user to control when new parameter values are put in use.

The CLI maintains three areas where the parameters are stored:

Command Line Interface

VIP User’s Manual

Ÿ Temporary Ÿ Active Ÿ Non-volatile Storage (NVS)

When a set command is entered and processed, it changes the parameter value in the Temporary area. This does not affect current operation of VIP, which is using the values in the Active area. The config activate command moves configuration data from the Temporary area to the Active area, where it can actually be used. Thus a user can make multiple changes in the Temporary area using set commands, then put them into use with a single config activate command. (Note that the config activate command may only be used between calls, and will usually tear down any in-progress calls when invoked.)

Configuration data in the Active area is only available while VIP remains in operation. If VIP is reset, the Active area is reloaded from the data stored in NVS. Data in the Active area may be saved to NVS by entering the config store command.

For most of the H.323 parameter, settings won’t take effect until VIP reset. To ensure the H.323 setting to take effect, it is recommended to reset VIP after changing the settings using the set command.

In summary:

Ÿ Use set commands to make configuration parameters changes in the Temporary area Ÿ Use the config activate command to move the new values into the Active area, available for

use

Ÿ Use the config store command to save the new Active values in NVS Ÿ Reset VIP after changing H.323 settings and storing the setting to NVS.

config {activate|store|erase}

Use the activate command to manage the configuration data. A sequence of set command is typically preceded by and/or followed by the config command for the set command to become active.

Syntax description

activate store erase

Move the configuration from temporary area to active area. Store the active configuration data into non-volatile storage. Erase the configuration from non-volatile storage.

show h323

The show h323 command displays the settings of the parameter that are related to H323 signaling protocol.

Syntax description

off

Detect DTMF tones while voice session is on-going, and send detected DTMF digits to remote gateway via the H.323 call control band.

Do not detect DTMF tones. DTMF tones are compressed and send to remote gateway the same as regular voice frame.

set coding profile_id max_delay

Voice packets from network may have traversed variable path and each packets have experienced different propagation delay. To ease this phenomenon, VIP has a built-in voice packet buffer, which stores voice packets received from the network. The effect of non-uniform delay among packets is known as jitter. The voice buffer allows VIP to remove the packet jitter from the incoming packet stream before decompressing and sending the packet to telephony port for playing out. This command is used to set the size of voice buffer.

Syntax description
