Gateway Functionality

How to enable Gateway Funtionality

In order to enable the Gateway functionality in the MPS, the Gateway Software option must be set.

Gateway Software Option

The software option key is set in the web interface, see the System Configuration > Upgrade section.

About the Option Key

An option key for the Gateway can be obtained through the regular TANDBERG channels. The op- tion key states how many Gateway sessions the MPS is able to run in parallell.

Gateway Sessions

A Gateway session requires 2 ports (one for the source side and one for the destination side), thus making 80 the maximum number of Gateway ses- sions for the MPS 800. For MPS 200 the maxi- mum is 20 sessions.

Gateway Calls Overview

Once the correct option key for the Gateway is en- tered (and the system restarted), the web interface will include a Gateway Calls Overview page, see the Overview > Gateway Calls Overview section.

Gateway Configuration

Once the correct option key for the Gateway is entered (and the system restarted), an extra tab for Gateway Configuration will also be added to the web interface.

 For further information about how the video system endpoint supports TCS-4 please see the MXP Administrator’s Guide on http:// www.tandberg.com.

Dialling Rules

The dialling rules must be set in order for the MPS to handle different types of Gateway calls. The different Gateway call types sup- ported by the MPS are described below.

DID

Direct Inward Dialling (DID) will provide you with direct Dial In numbers for your endpoints.

DID will do a direct mapping between your ISDN number and the H.323 E.164 Alias. If you have assigned a range of ISDN numbers to your ISDN PRI line, each ISDN number will map to a single IP endpoint.

We recommend that if more than one PRI line is used all PRI lines should have a common number range, see Trunk Groups in the PRI Board Con- figuration section.

Example with DID:

1.A DID dialling rule exists that maps the PRI number range from 67124000 to 67124050 to the H.323 E.164 Alias range 94000 - 94050.

2.To call an IP endpoint with H.323 E.164 Alias 94020 from ISDN, dial the ISDN number 67124020. • The Gateway starts the call to the IP endpoint and the “Call proceeding” picture and sound are initi- ated to your endpoint.

3.When the call is connected audio and vid- eo are transmitted through the Gateway.

About Dialling Rules

IVR Services

Interactive Voice Response (IVR), also called extension Dial In, provides you with a single Dial In number. The caller uses telephone tones (DTMF) to enter the extension address of the endpoint to be called. It is an auto- mated answering system that directs the call to the endpoint indicated by the caller.

IVR is useful when you have limited PRI numbers on your PRI line.

Example with IVR:

1.A videoconferencing system calls into the Extension Dial In number of an IVR service.

2.The Gateway activates the ‘Welcome’ picture and sound.

3.The user of a videoconferencing system enters the extension (H.323 E.164 Alias) followed by the # (pound-sign).

4.The Gateway starts to call the IP endpoint and the “Call proceeding” picture and sound are activated.

5.When the call is connected, the audio and video are transmitted through the Gateway.

IVR + TCS-4

This call type is the same as described in IVR but extended by an additional method, the TCS-4, to signal the extension address to the Gateway. In this mode the extension number can be indicated with IVR or with TCS-4 signalling.

TCS-4 allows an H.320 based videoconfer- encing endpoint (ISDN, V.35, V.35RS366 and G.703) to dial an IP endpoint directly, without having to (manually) enter the extension number by DTMF. The endpoint will send the extension number as a TCS-4 signal to the Gateway. If no TCS-4 extension is sent from the endpoint, then IVR will be used.

To use TCS-4, it needs to be support- ed by the videoconferencing endpoint. Refer to the Administrator’s Guide of the videoconferencing endpoint to see how TCS-4 is supported.

Example with IVR + TCS-4:

1.A videoconferencing endpoint calls into the Extension Dial In number of an IVR + TCS-4 service, using <Dial In number of this service>*<extension number>.

2.The Gateway starts to call the IP endpoint and the “Call proceeding” picture and sound are activated.

3.When the call is connected audio and vid- eo are transmitted through the Gateway.

4.TANDBERG endpoints allow storing the complete dial string in the Phone Book to automate dial through.
