Chapter 2 SIP Protocol Subscriber Features

Phone-Based Features

The ToS value for messages sent to SIP subscribers can be set on a system-wide basis—this applies to all subscribers. The policy is selected in the CA-CONFIG table. The Cisco BTS 10200 reads the values from this table when it starts up. Therefore, changes to the ToS policy for SIP subscribers become effective at the next restart of the Cisco BTS 10200. If the ToS entries are not provisioned in CA-CONFIG table, the following defaults apply:

Precedence= immediate (010)

Delay= low (1)

Throughput= normal (0)

Reliability= normal (0)

Note These are the recommended values; these values should be changed only after careful consideration, or if there is a specific need.

Voice-Mail Support

Cisco BTS 10200 supports the following voicemail features:

Voice-mail deposit

Notification

Retrieval

Callback

Voice-mail systems are configured as SIP trunks in Cisco BTS 10200. For voice-mail operation, refer to Chapter 4, “Voice-Mail Support.”

Phone-Based Features

Phone-based features are provided by the SIP phone, which require provisioning on the phone.

There are some features that the phone provides standalone, without Cisco BTS 10200 support.

The Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch supports interface requirements (such as Re-INVITE support) that are necessary to operate features from the SIP phones, including but not limited to:

Call Hold and Resume

Call Waiting

Three-Way Calling

Cancel Call Waiting

Call Waiting Caller ID

CODEC Up-speeding (Depending on the SIP phone’s capability to support this feature)

For feature calls between MGCP and SIP subscribers, the Cisco BTS 10200 supports CODEC up-speeding capability.

Note If CODEC re-negotiation fails (because either the SIP phone or the MGCP gateway does not support it), the call is disconnected.

BTS 10200 specifications

Cisco Systems BTS 10200 is a robust platform designed to meet the demands of modern telecommunications. This session border controller (SBC) facilitates the management of voice over IP (VoIP) traffic, enabling secure and efficient communication across diverse networks. The BTS 10200 plays a critical role in integrating voice and data services while ensuring high-quality user experiences and regulatory compliance.

One of the standout features of the BTS 10200 is its ability to support a wide range of protocols, making it highly versatile. It is compatible with both legacy systems and modern IP-based solutions, ensuring seamless interoperability. This adaptability allows service providers to migrate to next-generation networks without disrupting existing services.

The BTS 10200 is built upon a highly scalable architecture, allowing it to handle large volumes of traffic. This scalability is crucial for service providers as they expand their networks to accommodate more users and services. The platform supports hundreds of thousands of simultaneous sessions, which is essential for large-scale deployments such as in mobile and fixed-line networks.

Security is a paramount feature of the BTS 10200. It incorporates multiple layers of security protocols, including encryption and authentication mechanisms, to protect against unauthorized access and potential cyber threats. The platform also features robust filtering and Denial of Service (DoS) protection, ensuring that VoIP services remain stable and reliable even under adverse conditions.

Quality of Service (QoS) management is another critical characteristic of the BTS 10200. It allows for traffic prioritization to ensure that voice signals maintain clarity and reduce latency. Through advanced traffic shaping and management techniques, service providers can enhance the overall user experience even during peak usage periods.

Furthermore, the BTS 10200 supports a wide array of management and monitoring tools, enabling network administrators to gain insights into performance metrics, traffic trends, and system health. This data-driven approach allows for intelligent decision-making and proactive maintenance.

In summary, the Cisco Systems BTS 10200 is a powerful, secure, and scalable solution for managing voice and data services in today's complex telecommunications environment. Its combination of protocol support, robust security measures, QoS capabilities, and management tools positions it as a key asset for service providers looking to enhance their offerings and ensure reliable communications for their users.
