Chapter 1: Overview
What is Tenor®Call Relay 60?
The Call Relay 60 Session Border Controller is a stand-alone unit which acts as an inter-domain
VoIP portal used to directly connect (over IP) one or more VoIP networks, supporting up to 60
simultaneous calls between networks. Call Relay 60 provides a single point for call control manage
ment, administrative services, call accounting, and security. All calls are switched through multiple
IP networks with just one single compression and decompression of the voice.
The unit connects with the IP network via 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connection; calls are transmitted
through the Ethernet LAN and routed over the corporate WAN or internet. It routes the call accord
ing to the parameters or defaults you have configured in the routing database.
Call Relay 60 features NATAccess, an intelligent network address translation technology. This
enables a VoIP network with multiple H.323/SIP endpoints to operate behind firewalls equipped
with Network Access Translation (NAT). NATAccess solves the problems commonly experienced
when using H.323/SIP devices behind firewalls; it eliminates the need to place these endpoints in
the “DMZ” or public IP domain, or to open the firewall to the point where serious security concerns
are raised. Call Relay 60 enables enterprises to expand their VoIP networks to home offices, branch
offices, customers, partners, and across the public Internet.

Features and Capabilities
State of the art Management system
The Call Relay 60 is managed by the Tenor Configuration Manager and Tenor Monitor. Through the
Tenor Configuration Manager, you can configure all options. An easy-to-use Java-based installation process enables you to install the manager and start configuring within minutes. Through the Ten or
Monitor, you can monitor the activity level and status of the system’s active calls, including alarms,
call detail records, etc. Both the Tenor Configuration Manager and Tenor Monitor provide compre
hensive on-line help systems that are available at your fingertips.
In addition, you can configure the unit through the Command Line Interface (CLI). Through this
simple telnet session, you can access all configuration options, including an online help system,
built into the CLI, which provides help for all features and functions. Just type help with the com
mand name at any prompt, and data about that field will be displayed.
Direct Connection Between VoIP Networks
As an inter-domain portal, the Call Relay 60 switch provides direct IP connection between multiple
networks. The switch eliminates the need to link two or more VoIP networks via PSTN gateways.

NATAccess™/Remote NAT support
NATAccess™ is an intelligent network address translation technology. It enables H.323-based and/
or SIP based VoIP networks to operate behind firewalls equipped with Network Access Translation
(NAT); this provides maximum network security. NATAccess simplifies deployment and installation
by eliminating the need to place the Call Relay 60 on a public IP network. Using NATAccess pro

The Remote NAT feature enables Tenors with SIP applications to be used in an environment where
endpoints are behind NAT firewalls. As long as a Call Relay 60 is placed in the public IP domain, it
can communicate transparently with any VoIP endpoint (even from other vendors) that is located
behind a NAT firewall. In the case of a NAT firewall application, the actual IP address and port
number that the call comes from is the public (WAN) IP address of the NAT/firewall/router.

Remove Unnecessary Call Delay
Since redundant decompression and re-compressions processes are eliminated as a result of Call
Relay 60 (linking two VoIP networks via PSTN gateways is not required); this improves voice qual
ity by removing unnecessary delay, latency, and distortion.

Voice Control Management
H.323 Gatekeeper
The Call Relay 60 complies with the H.323 industry specifications for voice control and management. It performs IP call routing functions (for calls entering and exiting a site). The Gatekeeper
(internal to a Call Relay 60) collects, manages, and distributes call routing information. The Border
Element (internal to the Call Relay 60) provides access into or out of an administrative domain.
Other H.323 endpoints, such as gateways, can register to the internal Gatekeeper.
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is a signaling protocol used to establish a session on an IP network
for voice control and management; it is a request-response protocol that closely resembles Hypertext
Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which forms the basis of the World Wide Web. SIP re-uses many of the
constructs and concepts of Internet protocols such as HTTP and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
(SMTP). The purpose of SIP is only to establish/change/terminate sessions. SIP is not concerned
with the content or details of the session.
SIP is Transport layer-independent, which means it can be used with any transport protocol: UDP,
TCP, ATM, etc. It is text-based, so it requires no encoding/decoding like H.323. And SIP supports
user mobility, using proxies and redirecting requests to your current location.
When configured for SIP the Call Relay 60 will act as a SIP User Agent (Endpoint) as defined in
IETF RFC3261. Multiple user agents allow for separate agents to be allocated to each SIP call. It
will be able to direct calls to and from the IP network, and Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) such
P/N 480-0076-00-001-5
Page 14
Chapter 1: Overview
as phones, PBX's, and FAX machines, or the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). The Call
Relay 60 SIP User Agent will work in conjunction with an external SIP proxy or redirect server to
route and connect calls over SIP based networks.
There are three basic components of SIP:
1. User Agent (Endpoint)
•client element, initiates calls
•server element, answers calls
2. Network Server (Proxy Server or Redirect Server)
•name resolution
•user location
•redirect and forking
3. Registrar
•Stores registration information in a location service using a non-SIP protocol.
H.323/SIP Signaling Translation
Through the Call Relay 60, there are two signaling options provided: H.323/SIP Signaling Translation and Signaling Gateway with Direct Media Connection. See below for a description of each.
H.323/SIP Signaling Translation. This enables the signaling and media (voice) to be sent from
the network (whether H.323 or SIP based) to the Call Relay 60 and out to another network (whether
H323 or SIP-based). The signaling is translated (from H.323 to SIP or vice versa) if necessary; this
simplifies inter-networking between diverse VoIP networks.

tion and termination networks directly, rather than having it run out of the origination network,
through the Call Relay 60 and back out to the destination network.
In this mode, the Call Relay 60 can support up to a maximum of 90 simultaneous calls when used as
an H.323 signaling gateway (this mode of operation is known as the “Gatekeeper Routed Call
Mode”); endpoints can register to the Call Relay 60’s gatekeeper.

Provides Load Balancing
Using multiple Call Relay 60 units provides a way for load balancing. For example, one unit can be
used as a primary portal and another as a secondary portal. You can divide the calls between portals
or simply use one as a backup. In the event of an IP link failure, the redundancy offers maximum
reliability.
SNMP Support
The Call Relay 60 supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), the standard protocol
used to exchange network information between different types of networks. The Call Relay 60 acts
as an SNMP agent to receive commands and issue responses to the network manager. The network
manager will then be able to perform certain functions, such as generating and sending traps.
Call Relay 60 communication
The Call Relay 60 provides a single IP address for accessing the public IP network.
Easy Connect to Console
Plugging a DB-9 cable provided by Quintum between a PC and the unit’s asynchronous RS-232 port
will connect the unit and get you up and running. Through this port, you are able to configure an IP
address for the Call Relay 60 portal.

Chapter 1: Overview
Capabilities
Single Point of Network Interconnection
The Call Relay 60 aggregates all the traffic from the various IP endpoints and gateways within the
network and passes it to an endpoint at the “edge” of the another network, such as another Call
Relay 60 unit, IP phone or gateway. See
Figure 1-8.

In each case, the Call Relay 60 provides a single IP address for entry to the complete network and
provides isolation between the networks in such a way that the internal structure of each remains
anonymous to the other. All voice calls and inter-network management function, including call man
agement, administration, and call accounting, to pass over the single inter-network IP connection. A
complete Call Detail Record (CDR) is generated by every call passing through the Call Relay 60 in
each direction. This simplifies the process of cross billing between customers. Each partner can
compile data on traffic entering and exiting their network; they are then able to generate and audit
inter-company billing.
A innovative method of linking VoIP networks is to use the Call Relay 60 approach to interconnect
the networks and perform call management. This also takes advantage of the Packet Saver feature,
which minimizes bandwidth usage.

P/N 480-0076-00-001-8
Page 17
Chapter 1: Overview
PacketSaver™
PacketSaver packet multiplexing technology reduces the amount of IP bandwidth required to support multiple calls flowing between two networks. PacketSaver minimizes bandwidth usage by
aggregating samples from multiple VoIP conversations and packing them into a larger IP packet
with a single IP header. The process removes the need to send a bulky IP header with individual
voice samples. As a result, it eliminates the transmission of redundant information.

Call Detail Recording
Through the Call Detail Recording (CDR) feature, the Call Relay 60 is able to generate a CDR at the
completion of each call. A CDR is a string of ASCII data which contains call information such as
call date and time, call length, calling party and called party. From this information you can capture
billing type data, which can be used to create billing reports.

Chapter 3: Installation
Install Ground Cable (if required)
The Call Relay 60 provides an Earth Ground point by way of a #6 screw at the rear panel. This
screw provides an additional functional Earth point, if required in your installation. Safety ground is
provided through the third wire of the AC power cord provided with your unit. For continued safe
operation, a three wire AC power cord must be used; failure to do so will void the warranty and
Agency approvals.
Connect the Ground Cable as follows:
1. Unscrew the existing screw from the grounding hole.
2. Place the screw through the connector of the ground cable.
3. Attach the screw securely to the threaded grounding hole.
4. Connect the other end of the ground cable to an approved electrically grounded object. Consult
with a licensed electrician if you are unclear about this operation.

Tenor Monitor
The Tenor Monitor enables you to view alarms for all Tenor units, as well as Call Event Records,
and Call Detail Records. There are three main functions of the Tenor Monitor:
•Alarm Monitor. Through the Alarm Monitor, you are able to view alarms for a specified IP
address, as well as display active alarms, alarm history, and deleted alarms. You can configure a
database table for the specific unit in which you would like to monitor alarms.
•Call Monitor. Through the Call Monitor, you are able to view call events for each call passing
through the Tenor, including call type, duration, call state, etc. The Call Monitor continuously
collects active, real-time call event data and displays it on the screen. You are able to select/
edit/delete a Tenor to a database table for the specific unit in which you would like to view call
events.
•Call Detail Record (CDR) Monitor. Through the CDR Monitor, you are able to view the Call
Detail Record for each call, including the call connect/disconnect times, call path, and
autoswitch information.
Through the Tenor Monitor, you can view real-time data for up to three Tenors at the same time. The Tenor Monitor can collect up to 500,000 CDR/Call Event Records per day.
View call monitoring information as follows:
NOTE:Ensure the software is installed and running.

routing information. In addition, you are also able to monitor system alarms and run diagnostic procedures. CLI attributes enable you to further configure CLI options; these provide additional configuration items according to the option type.
Through the CLI, there are also commands you execute to simplify the process of configuring and
monitoring the Call Relay 60 unit. Some of these commands are globally used, others are specific to
the mode in which you are working. For example, the set command, available globally from within
the Configuration mode, enables you to set attributes for different options.
You can access the CLI through a Telnet session, a terminal-like access to any Call Relay 60 unit. If
your PC is directly connected to the Call Relay 60 unit, you can configure the unit directly through
the serial port using HyperTerminal. Both methods are described below.
NOTE:Alternatively, you may want to use other telnet clients, such as the Linux telnet client or
free programs like Putty. If you choose to do so, you may have to make minor setting
changes in the Telnet client in order to make it function properly.
Telnet Connection. Once the Call Relay 60 has been initially configured with an IP address net-
work and is connected, the easiest way to connect to the unit and use the CLI is through a standard

Before you Begin
Before you begin troubleshooting a potential malfunction, it is a good idea to check your basic hardware connections. See below.
•Ensure power cord is firmly installed in the back panel’s power jack and the other end is
plugged into the AC power source.
•Ensure the unit’s power switch is in the On position. If the unit is not working, toggle the power
switch to reset the system. If the unit is reset, the settings you configured may be lost.
•Verify that all RJ-45 and DB-9 cables fit snugly in each front panel jack. Faulty connections
may cause a number of network interfacing or connection issues.
If you suspect the problem to be on the network end, contact your Central Office to verify proper
operation.
Monitor LEDs
LEDs monitor the health of the system; they are the first signal that the unit is not working properly
or that an internal or external error has occurred. LEDs appear on the front of the unit (LED descrip
tions are detailed in Chapter 2: Hardware Components).
Check Chapter 2: Hardware Components to ensure the correct lighting of each LED and then see
Common Symptoms/Problems for troubleshooting information. If the LEDs are not lighting at all,
check the AC power source to ensure power is being supplied to the unit.

certain telecommunications network protective, operation, and safety requirements. The Department does not
guarantee the equipment will operate to the users' satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of

conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by
the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may
give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may
be particularly important in rural areas.
CAUTION:Users should not attempt to make electrical ground connections by themselves, but should
contact the appropriate inspection authority or an electrician, as appropriate.
