Nortel Networks NN43001-314 Signaling Server

34 Overview

•The MG 1000B Expander is connected to the MG 1000B Core with

copper wire. Therefore, the back of the MG 1000B Expander does not

have an Ethernet port.

Figure 3 "MG 1000B Core/MG 1000B Expander" (page 32) shows the MG

1000B Expander. Table3 "Card slots for MG 1000B Core and MG 1000B

Expander" (page 32) gives the card slots for the MG 1000B Expander.

Signaling Server

The Signaling Server is required for the Branch Ofﬁce feature. It provides

the following functions:

•IP Peer Networking, incorporating:

— SIP and H.323 Gateways

— Network Routing Service (NRS), consisting of:

– SIP Redirect Server

– H.323 Gatekeeper

– Network Connection Service (NCS)

•IP Phone registration to the IP Phone Terminal Proxy Server (TPS)

during Local Mode for survivability

•Web server for Element Manager and NRS Manager

A second Signaling Server can be used to provide redundancy in the case

of a failure in the other Signaling Server at the Branch Ofﬁce. The NRS

must reside on the Leader Signaling Server.

A network requires one NRS. However, Nortel recommends that an

Alternate NRS, and in some cases at least one FailsafeNRS, be conﬁgured

in the network. In a Branch Ofﬁce network, conﬁguring a Primary or

Alternate NRS at a Branch Ofﬁce location is not appropriate due to possible

network outages. For maximum coverage, Nortel recommends that a

Failsafe NRS be conﬁgured at each Branch Ofﬁce location that is not

otherwise conﬁgured with a Primary or Alternate NRS.

In a SIP-enabled system, the Signaling Server supports only en bloc

signaling.

In an H.323-enabled system, the Signaling Server supports both en bloc

and overlap signaling. En bloc signaling is standard. If overlap signaling is

to be used, Nortel highly recommends that it be installed and enabled on all

Signaling Servers in the network. Failure to do so results in delays in call

completion due to overlap to en-bloc conversion.
