Purpose

This document provides the information needed to understand and administer the connections between DEFINITY ECS systems in a network using IP connections. It does not cover the installation or upgrade procedures for establishing physical connectivity between DEFINITY switches or for connecting the CMS and Intuity AUDIX adjuncts to a DEFINITY switch — that information is contained in the upgrades and installation documents listed in the References section.

Audience

This document is intended for anyone involved in planning, designing, or administering DEFINITY ECS systems as part of networks using IP connectivity.

Issue Status

First issued for DEFINITY ECS Release 7, this update includes Release 8 new hardware and administration, as described below.

IP Interface assembly The Release 8 IP Interface assembly is a 3-slot wide TN802B circuit pack. It enables the transmission of voice and signaling data over IP connections. It can be used in one of two operating modes:

MedPro mode — enables H.323 tie trunks over IP connections

IP trunk mode (as in Release 7) — enables emulation of DS1 trunks over IP connections.

Each IP Interface assembly operates in either Medpro mode or IP trunk mode for all trunks assigned to it — it cannot mix modes. The MedPro mode is the normal operating mode for R8 systems. The IP Trunk mode is used only for compatibility with existing R7 systems that cannot be upgraded to R8.

The C-LAN (TN799B) circuit pack is required to handle signaling for the Medpro mode. C-LAN can be used, but is not required, for signaling in the IP Trunk mode.

Administration for the MedPro mode includes the H.323 trunking introduced with Release 8 and is documented in Chapter 2. Administration for the IP trunk mode is documented in Appendix F and is unchanged from Release 7.
