Chapter 1. Overview

1.1 Product Overview

TAINET VENUS Series, a critical part of the Next Generation Network (NGN), functions as an interface gateway unit between the legacy Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and the IP packet network by performing the conversion of the analog voice traffic to/from the IP-based media stream.

VENUS Series is a Voice-over-IP (VoIP) Gateway that provides cost-effective and quality voice service over global IP packet network (Internet or Intranets) for end-users, and, in the meanwhile, lowers the installation and maintenance effort. With analog voice interface connecting to user’s existing telephone handset or PABX, and the Ethernet interface connecting to the service providers' IP network, VENUS Series bridges the PSTN and IP network.

Depending on the installed firmware, VENUS Series supports both Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP), which comply with IETF RFC 3261 and RFC 3435 respectively. This document is only for VENUS Gateways installed with SIP firmware.

VENUS Gateway allows traditional PSTN users to make phone calls over the Internet without changing their telephone operating procedure. Using a Proxy Server or SoftSwitch together with the VENUS Series, service providers or telecom companies are able to provision integrated voice and data service over the IP network to their customers. Features like billing, accounting and network management supported by the SoftSwitch are available as well.

VENUS Series installed with SIP firmware provides the following services and functions:

 Support SIP protocol, which complies with IETF RFC 3261 standard.

Chapter 1 Overview

 Venus 2832 Series support up to 32 analog voice interfaces for traditional

POTS (Plain Old Telephone System) equipments (telephone handset, FAX machines, … etc).

 Modularized analog FXS (Foreign Exc hange Station) or FXO (Foreign

Exchange Office) telephony cards provide 8, 16, 24, or 32 telephone interfaces for various customers. Each telephone interface can drive at least three telephone handsets through up to 4 Km (13K feet) of 24 AWG copper lines.

 Support ITU-T standard voice codecs.  Apply quality VoIP technologies including: Real-time voice packet

encapsulation and voice play-out based on the Real-Time Protocol (RTP), Adaptive Jitter Buffer, Echo Cancellation（ITU-T G.168/165）,

Compensation for Loss of Packet, Voice Activity Detection (VAD) and Silence Suppression.

 Support T.30 Transparent FAX service or T.38 FAX Relay.  Supplemental Class 5 features like Call Forwarding, Caller ID

Display/Blocking, Call Returning, Speed Dial, Call Waiting, Call Transfer, Voice Message Indication, Hotline, and 3-way Conferencing… etc can be easily supported.

 Use static IP address assignment or obtain the dynamic IP address from a

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server or BootP (Bootstrap Protocol) Server.

 Provide DHCP server function on LAN port.  Provide PSTN life-line feature as backup.  Support PPPoE function (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet),

NAT/NAPT function (Network Address Translation/Network Address Port Translation), port-based VLAN, VLAN ID and priority tagging, and QoS function that including IEEE 802.1p and IEEE 802.1Q

 Support RFC-2833 RTP payload for DTMF Digits, Telephony Tones and

Telephony Signals

 Provide Terminal User Interface via the console port、TELNET or web

browser for easy and quick local or remote configuration and monitoring.

Chapter 1 Overview

 Provide SNMP MIB for integrating into service providers’ SNMP

management system.

 Support TFTP protocol for remote software upgrade and configuration file

download.

 User Interface is protected with User ID and Password from unauthorized

users.

 Provide two user accounts with two levels of access privilege.  Compact 1U-High desktop unit with ear brackets for mounting up to a 19”

shelf.

Chapter 1 Overview

1.2 Applications

VENUS Series, designed as a desktop or rack-mount unit, can be easily installed in a telecommunication equipment room of a building. It uses the standard 10/100 Base-T Ethernet to connect to the service providers' IP backbone through the router or data communication equipment. Up to 32 traditional telephone handsets or FAX machines located in the rooms at each floor of the building can be connected to the VENUS Series telephone ports using copper wires (Figure 1-1). With various management features supported on VENUS Series, service providers or telecomm companies can provide toll-quality voice service to the customers. The deployment of an intelligent IP packet network for integrated data and voice service with billing, accounting, and management features can be soon built up.

Figure 1-1 - Typical SIP VoIP Application

Large or median sized enterprises are able to build-up the high quality, cheap or free, private voice service based on the Intranet or Extranet network by deploying VENUS Series units at corporate HQ and local branch offices. The VENUS Series communicates with the SoftSwitch/SIP Proxy Server installed at corporate HQ through managed IP leased line, such as DDN (Digital Data Network) leased line or VPN (Virtual Private Network) network. With the scalable voice capacity feature provided by VENUS Series, enterprises can install proper amount of telephone interfaces for each branch (Figure 1-2).

Chapter 1 Overview

Figure 1-2 - Enterprise VoIP Intranet Application

For the Multi-Tenants Units (MTU) or Multi-Dwelling Units (MDU) markets, such as a hotel or campus, VENUS Series performs as a voice access platform to accommodate the voice-over-IP traffics from all the users. Thanks to the convenience of adding new Ethernet nodes, new VENUS Series units can be installed easily to extend the amount of users. To support more VENUS Series media gateway allows service providers to provide cost effective and quality voice services with minimum capital investment and maintenance cost.

Figure 1-3 - MTU/MDU Application

The advantages of using VENUS Series, the high port density CPE (Customer Premise Equipment) Gateway, are

3.5.2.2 WAN

Access Path: Configuration Menu -> Interface -> WAN.

Figure 3-42 - WAN Interface Configuration

Table 3-29 - Description of WAN Interface Configuration Items

Field Description

IP Address This is the static IP address for the WAN interface (the

10/100BaseT Fast Ethernet port) of VENUS Series. If the DHCP client feature is not enabled, VENUS Series uses this address as its own IP address. Either a public or private IP address can be assigned. Each gateway must have a unique IP and MAC address. VENUS Series supports the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) that can help to check the IP address and MAC address of the device.

In case the DHCP/BootP client feature is enabled, VENUS Series will try to obtain the IP address dynamically. The static IP address assigned in this field is unused. The terminal UI will indicate the obtained IP address instead.

Net Mask This IP Mask defines the domain of the local network. The

destination IP address is AND with this mask to decide if it is located in the same local network. Class A (255.0.0.0) network; Class B (255.255.0.0) network, Class C (255.255.255.0) network, as well as sub-network are all supported.

Default GW This is the default gateway address for WAN interface. PPP over

Ethernet

PPPoE is a specification for connecting the users on an Ethernet to the Internet through a common broadband medium, such as a single DSL line, wireless device or cable modem.

Chapter 3 Configuration and Management

Access Path: Configuration Menu -> Interface -> WAN ->PPP over Ethernet.

Figure 3-43 - PPP over Ethernet Configuration

Table 3-30 - Description of PPP over Ethernet Configuration Items

Field Description

Username The register name that can login PPPoE RAS server to

get the dynamic IP. Password The login password that can pass the RAS authentication. Service name (null:

accept all services)

The Service Provider’s name for recognition.

Use default gateway on remote network

Enabling this feature allows the system to use the default

gateway specified by the server.

Auto reconnect while link down

With this function enabled, the system would automatically

to re-register with the server when the link is

disconnected. Connection retry

interval (sec) >=2

The waiting time between PPPoE disconnection and

re-connect. LCP echo request

interval (sec) >=10

LCP includes Echo-Request and Echo-Reply Codes in

order to provide a Data Link Layer loopback mechanism

for use in exercising both directions of the link. This is

useful as an aid in debugging, link quality determination,

performance testing, and for numerous other functions.

Upon reception of an Echo-Request in the LCP Opened

state, an Echo-Reply MUST be transmitted. This option

can be used with the lcp-echo-failure option to detect that

the peer is no longer connected.

Chapter 3 Configuration and Management

Field Description

Maximum LCP echo failure >=2

If this option is given, PPP daemon will presume the peer

to be dead if n LCP echo-requests are sent without

receiving a valid LCP echo-reply. If this happens, PPP

daemon will terminate the connection. Use of this option

requires a non-zero value for the lcp-echo-interval

parameter. This option can be used to enable PPP

daemon to terminate after the physical connection has

been broken (e.g., the modem has hung up) in situations

where no hardware modem control lines are available. Link status: [down]

Connect now?

Check the link status and request to re-connect

immediately.

Note: When PPPoE is enabled, all VoIP related data, such as RTP and SIP messages, would be sent through PPPoE.

3.5.2.3 LAN

Use this menu to configure the LAN interface of the device. LAN has two modes: Switch and Router.

Note: For 2832 series, LAN interface will only be available with UTP-2 Module is installed.

Chapter 3 Configuration and Management

3.5.2.3.1 Switch Mode

Access Path: Configuration Menu -> Interface -> LAN-> Switch Mode Under Switch Mode, the LAN interface use the same IP address of WAN and

supports different VLAN function to enhance the QoS availability.

Figure 3-44 - LAN Switch Mode Configuration

Table 3-31 - Description of LAN Interface Configuration Items

Field Description

Port-based VLAN To build up a virtual LAN under a group of specified Ethernet

ports. There are three groups can be used.

VLAN Priority Define the VLAN priority in different interface. “1” is the

lowest priority and “4” is the highest priority.

Chapter 3 Configuration and Management

3.5.2.4 NAT Configuration

Network Address Translation (NAT) feature works only when LAN is configured as router mode. VENUS NAT router allows nodes on the private network (LAN side) to transparently communicate with nodes on the external network (WAN side) and vice versa.

Access Path: Configuration Menu -> Interface -> NAT

Figure 3-47- NAT Configuration

Chapter 3 Configuration and Management

When NAT is enabled, the following menu, shown in Figure 3-48, gives user the option to specify nodes on the LAN side that can be accessed by nodes on the WAN side.
