r e t p a h C SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 10 Introduction System Overview 2 In a typical telephony system, the network setup is the interconnection between Base-stations, fat routers, repeaters, portable parts, etc. The back-bone of the network depends on the deployment scenario but a ring or hub topology is used. The network has centralized monitoring, and maintenance system. The system is easy to scale up and supports from 1 to 40 bases in the same network. Further it is able to support up to 200 registered handsets. The Small and Medium Scale Enterprise (SME) VoIP system setup is illustrated below. Based on PoE interface each base station is easy to install without additional wires other than the LAN cable. The system supports the next generation IP DECT CAT-IQ repeater with support up to 5 channels simultaneous call sessions. The following figure gives a graphical overview of the architecture of the SME VoIP System:

2.1 Hardware Setup SME network hardware setup can deployed as follows:

Base-station(s) are connected via Layer 3 and/or VLAN Aware Router depending on the deployment requirements. The Layer 3 router implements the switching function. The base-stations are mounted on walls or lamp poles so that each base-station is separated from each other by up to 50m indoor (300m outdoor). Radio coverage can extended to 400m using repeaters that are installed up to 300m from the base-station(s). The base-station antenna mechanism is based on space diversity feature which improves coverage. The base-stations uses complete DECT MAC protocol layer and IP media stream audio encoding feature to provide up to 10 simultaneous calls. w e i v r e v O m e t s y S n o i t c u d o r t n SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 11 I

r e t p a h C 2.2 Components of SME VoIP System RTX SME VoIP system is made up of (but not limited to) the following components:

At least one RTX Base Station is connected over an IP network and using DECT as air-core interface. RTX IP DECT wireless Handset. RTX SME VoIP Configuration Interface; is a management interface for SME VoIP Wireless Solution. It runs on all IP DECT Base stations. Each Base station has its own unique settings. Other 3rd party vendor products which will be described in details in Chapter 8 2.2.1 RTX Base Stations The Base Station converts IP protocol to DECT protocol and transmits the traffic to and from the end-nodes

(i.e. wireless handsets) over a channel. It has 12 available channels. In a multi-cell setup, each base station has:

8 channels have associated DSP resources for media streams. The remaining 4 channels are reserved for control signalling between IP Base Stations and the SIP/DECT end nodes (or phones). Base Stations are grouped into clusters. Within each Cluster, Base Stations are synchronized to enable a seamless handover when a user moves from one base station coverage to another. For synchronization purposes, it is not necessary for Base Stations to communicate directly with each other in the system. E.g. a Base Station may only need to communicate with the next in the chain. It is advisable for a Base Station to identify more than one Base Station to guarantee synchronization in the situation that one of the Base Stations fails. The 4 control signalling channels are used to carry bearer signals that enable a handset to initiate a handover process. 2.2.2 SME VoIP Administration Server/Software This server is referred to as SME VoIP Configuration Interface. The SME VoIP Configuration Interface is a web based administration page used for configuration and programming of the base station and relevant network end-nodes. E.g. handsets can be registered or de-

registered from the system using this interface. The configuration interface can be used as a setup tool for software or firmware download to base stations, repeaters and handsets. Further, It is used to check relevant system logs that can be useful to w e i v r e v O m e t s y S n o i t c u d o r t n I

r e t p a h C SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 12 administrator. These logs can be used to troubleshoot the system when the system faces unforeseen operational issues. 2.2.3 RTX Wireless Handset The handset is a lightweight, ergonomically and portable unit compatible with Wideband Audio (G.722), DECT, GAP standard, CAT-iq vb & ve-profile compliant. The handset includes Colour display with graphical user interface. It can also provide the subscriber with most of the features available for a wired phone, in addition to its roaming and handover capabilities. Refer to the relevant handset manual for full details handset features. 2.3 Wireless Bands The bands supported in the SME VoIP are summarized as follows:

Frequency band:

1880 1930 MHz (DECT) 1880 1900 MHz (10 carriers) Europe/ETSI 1910 1930 MHz (10 carriers) LATAM 1920 1930 MHz (5 carriers) US Other frequency bands can be customized via Base station low-level debug programming. 2.4 System Capacity (in Summary) SME network capacity of relevant components can be summarised as follows:

r e t p a h C w e i v r e v O m e t s y S n o i t c u d o r t n 2.5 Advantages of SME VoIP System They include (but not limited to):

1. Simplicity. Integrating functionalities leads to reduced maintenance and troubleshooting, and significant cost reductions. 2. Flexibility. Single network architecture can be employed and managed. Furthermore, the architecture is amenable to different deployment scenarios, including Isolated buildings for in-building coverage, location with co-located partners, and large to medium scale enterprises deployment for wide coverage. 3. Scalability. SME network architecture can easily be scaled to the required size depending on customer requirement. 4. Performance. The integration of different network functionalities leads to the collapse of the protocol stack in a single network element and thereby eliminates transmission delays between network elements and reduces the call setup time and packet fragmentation and aggregation delays.

r e t p a h C 14 3 SME System Deployment Scenarios In principle, there is no one best solution for deployment of SME Telephony network. Different solutions

(i.e. deployments scenarios) exist depending on the customer requirements. Before describing commonly used cases in SME System deployment, we first describe a multi-cell system and its configuration. 3.1 Multi-cell System A multi-cell system has a coordinated installation of intra-system synchronized base stations, which enables seamless inter-cell handover for moving handsets. It provides, besides the increased mobility, higher total capacity and higher quality than a corresponding number of standalone base stations. This is due to a combination of the inter-cell synchronization and the seamless handover features of a multi-cell system. All handsets subscribed to a multi-cell system will benefit from high voice quality, full coverage and full mobility over the whole multi-cell system coverage area. 3.2 Multi-cell Setup A total of 40 Base stations can be hosted in a typical SME multi-cell system. At each time, a maximum of 6 levels can be formed in a multi-cell chain. Synchronisation Level is the air core interface between two base stations. Using the figure below, synchronisation level 1 is when Base unit 1 synchronizes to Master Base unit, and Level 2 is when Base unit 2 uses Base unit 1 as its synchronization source, in that order. The relevant synchronisation levels can be defined by specifying the hierarchy of bases in multi-cell systems. The hierarchy of bases can be specified using the DECT sync source parameter in the SME VoIP Configuration Server (Refer to Chapter 13 for detail procedure of Multi-cell setup). s o i r a n e c S t n e m y o p e D m e t s y S E M S l SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 15

r e t p a h C 3.3 Case Studies The following requirements must be considered when deploying SME Telephony Network:

The type of end users (e.g. Business type, Educational Campus, etc.) Distances end users require Vendors Business Situation In this section we describe common cases or situations where SME Telephony solutions can be implemented. Typical case studies includes (but not limited to):

3.3.1 Case ##1: Isolated Buildings This is the simplest scenario a SME VoIP System can be deployed in e.g. branch or small office, Retail outlet or store. It consists of a standalone base station and a number of handsets registered to it. This setup is optimal for isolated buildings. A typical illustration is shown in the figure below. From this illustration, it is not possible to roam or handover to other bases in this setup. s o i r a n e c S t n e m y o p e D m e t s y S E M S l SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 16

r e t p a h C 3.3.2 Case ##2: Location with co-located partners This scenario can be deployed in e.g. Department shops, Retail location with co-located photo kiosk or pharmacy and huge apartment complexes. This setup consists of more than one base station and each handset is registered to a specific base. Roaming and handovers are permitted in this setup. Here is diagram to illustrate Case ##2. In this illustration, two slave bases synchronises to a Master DECT source. s o i r a n e c S t n e m y o p e D m e t s y S E M S l 17

r e t p a h C SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 3.3.3 Case ##3: Large to Medium Sized Enterprises This scenario is a multi-cell setup can be deployed in e.g. Corporate headquarters, Harbour areas, High School Campus. In the illustration shown below, handsets can roam and handover to other bases. 3.3.4 Case ##4: Large Enterprises at Different Locations In this scenario, multi-cell systems are deployed at different locations; geographically separated from each other. An example of this setup includes Government departments/agencies geographically separated from each other; University campuses or Hospital(s) in different regions. Roaming and handovers are permitted in this setup even though the each multi-cell system is geographically separated from each other. Each base station has a unique identifier. Handsets registered to one multi-cell setup can be used in other geographically separated setups because visited base stations retrieves the base station identifier which the visiting handset is originally registered to. In addition, the relevant SIP server functions must be enabled to so roaming and handover can be allowed at different geographies. s o i r a n e c S t n e m y o p e D m e t s y S E M S l SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 18

r e t p a h C 4 SME VoIP Network Planning/Optimization In this chapter, we describe SME VoIP radio network planning techniques including dimensioning, detailed capacity and coverage planning, and network optimisation. 4.1 Network Requirements Network requirement is essential to determine elements necessary to achieve the overall expectations of the customer. Typical network requirements includes (but not limited to):

The geographical area to be covered The type or architecture of building and/or topology, etc. The estimated traffic on each zone or region or building The blocking criteria in each traffic area. The relevant quality targets expected to be achieved 4.2 Deployment Considerations The following radio considerations must be examined before deploying a SME VoIP System. These includes

(but not limited to):

Building Penetration:

When a signal strikes a building it is diffracted or absorbed; therefore to some extend the signal is reduced. The amount of absorption is dependent of the kind of building and its environment, the amount of solid structure. This is an important consideration in coverage planning. Interference Sources:

Signals to receiving antenna can be weakened by virtue of interference from other signals. These signals may be from the same network or other man-made objects. Interference sources must be identified and avoided or minimized. 4.3 Site Planning 4.3.1 Deployment kit Based on propagation models, the coverage of areas is done with the use of radio planning tools. In the RTX SME VoIP Network, the radio planning tool available is called Deployment Kit. Detail description and use of this document is available in a separate document(s) [1][2]. 4.3.2 Location Probability The quality of coverage is determined by location probability. For practical purposes, the location probability of 50% is equal to the sensitivity of receiver in a specific region. This is also measured by the Deployment Kit [1][2]. n o i t a z i m i l i t p O

r e t p a h C SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 20 4.3.3 Handover Mechanics/Planning Handsets should seamlessly move between coverage areas. In other words, handset should be able to move in a multi-cell setup of base stations and/or repeaters from one base station to another without terminating or causing hindrance while receiving continuous service and maintaining call-sessions in progress. For efficient handover of conversations between Base stations in multi-cell setup, deploy Base stations with wide overlap between them (i.e., plan for some areas to be covered by more than one Base station). Overlaps are necessary to maintain seamless handover and to establish synchronization chains. A good example may be a cafeteria during lunch hour where temporary concentrations of handsets may occur. The overlap carries the excess call load to adjacent Base stations to provide uninterrupted services to subscribers. 4.4 Cell Coverage / Capacity Planning 4.4.1 Cell Coverage Due to the unexpected nature of RF propagation in an indoor environment, an actual on-site test must be performed before the deploying and/or installing core network elements. An extensive guide to effective RF coverage planning is outside the scope of this document. This should be noted:

The Base stations provides typical RF coverage of up to 50 meters/164 feet in a typical indoor office environment and up 300 meters/984 feet in an open area (line-of-sight-LOS), extending in all directions from the Base stations (i.e. Omni directional). The exact coverage range depends on the building architecture, wall material and surroundings. The figure below show the correct installation of base stations spaced at the recommended distances from each other:

n o i t a z i m i l i t p O

g n n n a P k r o w t e N P o V E M S I SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential

r e t p a h C 21 Typically, installations such as office buildings, hotels and hospitals should be equipped with both base stations and repeaters on several floors to create uniform and complete radio coverage. Open areas can be covered with a sparse network of base stations. In such deployments, the base stations and/or repeaters cover an extended range due to the extended line-of-sight radio propagation capability The figure below shows an example of an installation where base stations are not spaced at the right distances:

4.4.2 Capacity Planning This is where the Network provider estimates how many calls will be initiated in a typical window/time frame and how many users will be initiating them. Another aspect of capacity planning should address the user growth pattern of a typical SME VoIP network. How many users will be using this network in for example two years window, etc. Based on these estimations, the network dimensioning can be planned orderly bearing in mind the SME capacity. The capacity of the SME VoIP System is summarised as follows (this should guide the network planner):

Description Min ## of Bases Single Cell Setup Max ## of Bases in Multi-cell Setup Single Cell Setup: Max ## of Repeaters Multi-cell Setup: Max ## of Repeaters Max ## of Users per Base Max ## of Users per SME VoIP System Multi-cell Setup: Max ## of Synchronisation levels Capacity 1 40 3 per Base station 3x40=120 30 30x40=1200 6 n o i t a z i m i l i t p O

g n n n a P k r o w t e N P o V E M S I

r e t p a h C SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 22 Multi-cell Setup: Max ## of Users Max ## Simultaneous Calls (Single Cell) Max ## Simultaneous Calls (Multi-cell Setup) 8 10 per Base station 8x40=320 call sessions 4.5 Network Dimensioning After the network requirements are clearly defined, the number of users that are expected to use the network must be estimated. Based on that, you should estimate and identify the number and type of equipments required in order to cater for the capacity, coverage and quality requirements. The more accurate the dimensioning, the more efficient the network rollout. Handsets/SIP End-Nodes:

In a typical setup, the system can support up to 200 handsets depending on the configuration. Base stations/Repeaters:

The system can easily scale up to 40 base stations. Depending on the network setup, coverage can be extended by up to 5 repeaters. The planner should bear in mind that base stations can support 10 simultaneously call sessions while repeaters can support 5 call sessions. Core Network Equipments:

These equipments are at the premises of the service operator or data center. Depending on the network requirements the following devices should be available:

VLAN/NAT aware router(s), Session Border Controller, DHCP/TFTP/FTP Servers, STUN Server, Media Server, Access Gateway, SIP Server, etc. 4.6 Environmental Considerations In this section, we enumerate some environmental conditions that need to be considered prior to planning, deployment and optimisation of the SME network. The considerations are as follows:

Ensure that the installation area is clean, dry, and protected from weather extremes. Ensure that the floor of the installation area is finished with linoleum, vinyl, ceramic, wooden flooring, computer floor tiles, or polished sealed concrete. Ensure that the ceiling of the installation area is finished or treated to prevent particle discharge. Ensure that the installation area is well lit, and that the light source is uniformly diffused without shadows. Adequate lighting should provide a comfortable reading level and allow the identification of wire insulator colours without undue eye fatigue. Lighting should be comparable to an office work environment, with a minimum level of 21 meter/68.9 feet at each work surface. As a rule of thumb, in a room with a 2.5 meters/8.2 feet ceiling, one 1.2 meters/4 feet fluorescent tube provides sufficient illumination for 1.9-2.4 square meters/20.5-25.9 square feet. Ensure that ventilation of the installation area is capable of maintaining an ambient temperature of 0-

40C/32-104F, and a relative humidity of 20-80% non-condensing, while the system is operating. The maximum power rating of a base station under full load should not exceed 315W/1070 BTU/Hr. These figures are for each cabinet only, and do not take into account heat generated by other equipment. In particular, charging fully-discharged batteries may generate a considerable amount of heat, depending on battery capacity and rate of charge. Refer to the equipment manufacturer data for more information. n o i t a z i m i l i t p O

g n n n a P k r o w t e N P o V E M S I

r e t p a h C SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 23 Ensure that the installation area is free of caustic or corrosive liquids, substances, or materials. If batteries will be installed as part of the system, ensure that adequate precautions are taken (such as special ventilation) to prevent corrosive emissions from the batteries. Check local building codes for additional requirements. 4.7 Recommended Base station/Repeater Placement There is no one strategy for deploying base stations. These are some recommended Base station and/or Repeater placement strategies:

Around Corridors:

Base stations/repeater should be deployed vertically preferably at corridor intersections where propagation patterns follow the corridor patterns. The base station/repeater should point towards the corridor and preferably in the middle height between the floor and the actual ceiling. In case there are high objects in the area, the base station/repeater should be installed above those objects but still kept distant from the ceiling. Multi-Storey Buildings:

Base stations and repeaters can be installed on opposite sides of the floors to take advantage of the floor-

to-floor coverage. The coverage design cannot rely entirely on floor-to-floor propagation; each case must be verified due to variations in local attenuation patterns. Open Areas/ Large Halls:

Base stations and repeaters can be deployed in open areas for buildings that contain a central open space area with windows to the other areas. This provides a good coverage for the rooms in the inner circle on all floors (e.g. hotels). In large halls, Base stations/repeater should be installed vertically in the middle of the space below the drop ceiling. Mounting Positions:

When Base stations and repeaters are mounted vertically on a wall, the radio coverage in front of these devices is twice as large as the coverage at the rear. Repeaters should be installed in the middle of corridors and small rooms. Metallic Structures/Objects:

Base stations and repeaters should not be deployed near large metallic objects. Reinforced Concrete Structures:

These structures have a high attenuation factor inside the building. They reduce the radio coverage range of the Base stations and repeaters and therefore require a higher number of base stations or repeaters in the building. Lighter types of construction materials require fewer base stations since attenuation figures are considerably lower. Others Recommendations:

Maximum distance between two base stations varies depending on material and construction of buildings, but there must always be synchronization chains and radio coverage overlap between the two base stations or handover between radio units. The time it takes a person to cross the common coverage area must be 10 seconds or more, as the handset needs time to scan for an alternative base stations. Ensure that the installation area is located no closer than 6.1meters/20.0 feet from electric devices that produce large electro-magnetic fields (EMF) or high levels of radio frequency energy.

r e t p a h C SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 24 sources are radio transmitters, electric arc welding machines, copying machines, electric motors, refrigeration units, power transformers, electric load centers, and main circuit breaker panels. Ensure that the electrical service is sufficient and located in close proximity to the Base stations. 4.8 Network Assessment/Optimisation This involves monitoring, verifying and improving the performance of the SME VoIP network. Depending on the network setup and varying deployment conditions and network usage some requirements have to be monitored and corrected. The main focus of network optimisation should be telephony quality, handovers, network traffic and other related measurements. The quality of the network is ultimately determined by the satisfaction of users of the network. Therefore before SME VoIP Networks are handed over to customers, Network providers must perform walk or drive testing using the appropriate measurement kits. The walk or drive testing kit includes 2 or 3 test phones, a walk/drive testing software (deployment kit software) and a suggested walk path, etc. Collect statistics of the network an example is illustrated in the table below:

Parameters Comments Value

## Call Setup failures

## Dropped calls

## HO successes

## HO failures Traffic Blocking Rate

(%) Traffic Blocking (Erl) Receiver level (dBm) Receiver Quality (%) After collecting the necessary information, you should fine tune signalling and radio resource sharing parameters. Network optimisation is a continuous process during and after the launch of the network. For example, if it is found that an area within a building has low signal level. There should be an immediate scrutiny of base station and/or repeater locations, heights and tilts. The problem is sorted out by moving the relevant devices and altering the tilts of these devices. For buildings/halls constructed with high signal attenuation materials, deploying additional base stations will be one of the solutions. n o i t a z i m i l i t p O

r e t p a h C SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 25 5 Deployment Mechanics Multi-cell SME Network In this chapter we provide short description of practical cases of how Multi-cell SME VoIP network can be deployed unfold synchronisation details of how master bases latches to one or more slaves. Case ##1: Synchronisation Chain with One Master Sync. a) The Synchronisation chain must always overlap with other Base stations in order to latch each other in Sync. b) In this illustration Base station ##39 is the Sync Master c) A maximum of 7 devices (Including the master bases) can be chained at a time d) The other slave base stations or repeaters are connected to the Sync Master through the e) synchronisation chain If one of the base or repeater units in the sync chain is broken or not working, then the units that follows non-working device are cut off from the sync chain. Therefore handover is not possible between the non working units and working ones. f) However, handover is possible in the deployment figure below, because e.g. both BS#01 and BS#02 overlaps with BS#39. Therefore when BS#01 is not active, handover between BS#39 and the rest of the slaves is still permitted. k r o w t e N E M S l l e c

i t l u M s c i n a h c e M t n e m y o p e D l

r e t p a h C 26 SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential Case ##2: Synchronisation Chain without Alternative Sync Paths a) Assuming Master Sync source is Base station ##39. A maximum of 40 base stations can be deployed in one setup (depending on the network requirement not all base stations should be chained). b) A maximum of 7 devices can be chained at one time. c) Depending on the system setup, it is recommended to place the Sync source Master in the middle of the building and to assign numbers/addresses, radio ID (RPN), etc., to each base station or repeater for easy identification. Continuous line: Shows the primary sync paths, with the relevant bases chained in the multi-cell network. Dotted line: Alternative sync paths, but cannot be used because the relevant base stations have not been chained. Case ##3: Synchronisation Chain with Alternative Sync Paths The illustration below shows a multi-cell network with alternative Synchronisation paths. A failure of one base unit does not mean handset or users cannot perform handovers to other active cells. BS#39 is the SYNC Master, if BS#05 is down, most user handovers can be formed via 3 other alternative cells (i.e. BS#06, BS#02 and BS#04) without any problems at all. Furthermore observe the following:

BS#04 and BS#01 are Primary with alternative sync to BS#39. BS#05 is primary sync to BS#04 while alternative sync is BS#01 or BS#02 BS#03 is primary sync to BS#02 while alternative sync is BS#05 or BS#06. k r o w t e N E M S l l e c

r e t p a h C 28 6 Installation of Base Stations/Repeater After planning the network, next is to determine the proper places or location the relevant base stations will be installed. Therefore, we briefly describe the how to install the base station in this chapter. 6.1 Package - Contents/Damage Inspection Before Package Is Opened:

Examine the shipping package for evidence of physical damage or mishandling prior to opening. If there is a proof of mishandling prior to opening, you must report it to the relevant support center of the regional representative or operator. Contents of Package:

Make sure all relevant components are available in the package before proceeding to the next step. Every shipped base unit package/box contains the following items:

2 x mounting screws and 2 x Anchors 1 x Metal plate(s) 1 x Plastic stand 1 x Cat. 5 cable (Ethernet cable) Base unit Damage Inspection:

The following are the recommended procedure for you to use for inspection:

1. Examine all relevant components for damage. 2. Make a defective on arrival - DOA report or RMA to the operator. Do not move the shipping carton until it has been examined by the operator. If possible send pictures of the damage. The operator/regional representative will initiate the necessary procedure to process this RMA. They will guide the network administrator on how to return the damaged package if necessary. If no damage is found then unwrap all the components and dispose of empty package/carton(s) in accordance with country specific environmental regulations. 3.

r e t p a h C RTX Base station Provides RF Channels to Handsets The base station supports 12 RF channels simultaneously for all DECT bands, summarised below:

The RF communication is provided according to the band standard at the site:

Frequency band:

1880 MHz 1930 MHz (DECT) 1880 1900 MHz (10 carriers) Europe/ETSI 1910 1930 MHz (10 carriers) LATAM 1920 1930 MHz (5 carriers) US Other frequency bands can be customized via Base station low-level debug programming. 6.2 RTX Base station Mechanics The base station front end shows an LED indicator that signals different functional states of the base unit and occasionally of the overall network. The indicator is off when the base unit is not powered. The table below summarises the various LED states:

r e t p a h C SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 30 6.3 RTX Base Unit - Reset feature It is possible to restart or reset the base station unit by pressing a knob at the rear side of the unit. Alternatively, it can be reset from the SME Configuration Interface. We do not recommend this; but unplugging and plugging the Ethernet cable back to the PoE port of the base station also resets the base unit. 6.4 Installing the Base Station First determine the best location that will provide an optimal coverage taking account the construction of the building, architecture and choice of building materials. Next, mount the Base Station on a wall to cover range between 50 - 300 meters (i.e. 164 to 984 feet), depending whether its an indoor or outdoor installation. Please refer to chapter 4 for important information regarding network requirements, deployment considerations, site planning, cell coverage/capacity planning, environmental considerations and recommended Base station placement. Mounting the Base Stations/Repeaters:

We recommend the base station be mounted an angle other than vertical on both concrete/wood/plaster pillars and walls for optimal radio coverage. Avoid mounting the base units upside down as it significantly reduces radio coverage. Mount the base unit as high as possible to clear all nearby objects (e.g. office cubicles and cabinets, etc.). Occasionally extend coverage to remote offices/halls with lower telephony users by installing Repeaters. Make sure that when you fix the base stations with screws, the screws do not touch the PCB on the unit. Secondly, avoid all contacts with any high voltage lines. r e t a e p e R

Please refer to an accompanying Handset User Guide for more information of the features available in the Handset. 7.1 Package - Contents/Damage Inspection Before Package Is Opened:

Examine the shipping package for evidence of physical damage or mishandling prior to opening. If there is a proof of mishandling prior to opening, you must report it to the relevant support center of the regional representative or operator. Contents of Package:

Make sure all relevant components are available in the package before proceeding to the next step. Every shipped base unit package/box contains the following items:

2 x mounting screws and 2 x Anchors 1 x Handset hook 1 x A/C Adaptor 1 x Battery 1 x charger 1 x Handset Unit, 1 x Battery cover Damage Inspection:

The following are the recommended procedure for you to use for inspection:

1. Examine all relevant components for damage. 2. Make a defective on arrival - DOA report or RMA to the operator. Do not move the shipping carton until it has been examined by the operator. The operator/regional representative will y d a e R t e s d n a H g n i k a M

r e t p a h C SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 33 initiate the necessary procedure to process this RMA. They will guide the network administrator on how to return the damaged package if necessary. If no damage is found then unwrap all the components and dispose of empty package/carton(s) in accordance with country specific environmental regulations. 3. 7.2 Before Using the Phone Here are the pre-cautions users should read before using the Handset:

Installing the Battery 1. Never dispose battery in fires, otherwise it will explode. 2. Never replace the batteries in potentially explosive environments, e.g. close to inflammable liquids/

gases. 3. ONLY use approved batteries and chargers from the vendor or operator. 4. Do not disassemble, customise or short circuit the battery Using the Charger Each handset is charged through the use of a handset charger. The charger is a compact desktop unit designed to charge and automatically maintain the correct battery charge levels and voltage. The charger Handset is powered by AC supply from 110-240VAC that supplies 5.5VDC at 600mA. When charging the battery for the first time, it is necessary to leave the handset in the charger for at least 10 hours before the battery is fully charged and the handset ready for use. Handset In the Charger For correct charging, ensure that the room temperature is between 0C and 25C/32F and 77F. Do not place the handset in direct sunlight. The battery has a built-in heat sensor which will stop charging if the battery temperature is too high. If the handset is turned off when placed in charger, only the LED indicates the charging. When handset is turned off, the LED flashes at a low frequency while charging and lights constantly when the charging is finished. There will be response for incoming calls. If the handset is turned on when charging, the display shows the charging status. Open Back Cover 1. Press down the back cover and slide it towards the bottom of the handset. 2. Remove Back Cover from Handset Handset Serial Number The serial number (IPEI/IPUI number) of each handset is found either on a label, which is placed behind the battery, or on the packaging label. First, lift off handset back cover and lift the battery and read the serial number. y d a e R t e s d n a H g n i k a M

r e t p a h C SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 34 The serial number is needed to enable service to the handset. It must be programmed into the system database via the SME VoIP Configuration interface. Replace Battery Remove Back Cover from Handset. Remove the old battery and replace with a new one. 7.3 Using the Handset Please refer to chapter 16 for detail description of how to use the handset. y d a e R t e s d n a H g n i k a M

r e t p a h C SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 35 8 Core Network Server(s) Configuration In this chapter we describe how to setup the various server elements in the system. 8.1 Server setup In the SME network, the server environment is installed as a centralized system. The main server types hosted on the network include SIP, DNS/DHCP and HTTP/TFTP Servers. These servers can be hosted both in one or multiple windows and/or Linux Server environment. Management servers are normally installed to monitor and manage the network in detail. Each Base-

station status can be checked. Each Repeater and each Subscriber Terminal can be monitored over the air from a centralized location. Further, new software can be uploaded to all system elements from the centralized location (typically a TFTP server) on an individual basis. This includes Subscriber Handsets where the latest software is downloaded over the air. 8.2 Requirements Regardless of whether or not you will be installing a centrally provisioned system, you must perform basic TCP/IP network setup, such as IP address and subnet mask configuration, to get your organizations phones up and running. 8.3 DNS Server Installation/Setup Name server is a name server service installed in a server for mapping or resolution of humanly memorable domain names and hostnames into the corresponding numeric Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. The customer should refer to the platform vendor either windows or Linux vendor for detail step-by-step guide on how to install and configure Domain Name System for internet access. In this section, we briefly describe hints on how to setup DNS behind NAT or Firewall. 8.3.1.1 Hints on how to Configure DNS behind a Firewall/NAT Proxy and Network Address Translation (NAT) devices can restrict access to ports. Set the DNS to use UDP port 53 and TCP port 53. For windows Servers, set the RCP option on the DNS Service Management console and configure the RCP to use port 135. These settings should be enough to resolve some of potential issues that may occur when you configure DNS and firewalls/NAT. 8.4 DHCP Server Setup A DHCP Server allows diskless clients to connect to a network and automatically obtain an IP address. This server is capable of supplying each network client with an IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, an IP address for a WINS server, and an IP address for a DNS server. This is very often used in enterprise networks to reduce configuration efforts. All IP addresses of all computers/routers/bases are stored in a database that resides on a server machine. n o i t a r u g i f n o C

r e v r e S k r o w t e N e r o C

r e t p a h C SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 36 The network administrator should contact the relevant vendors for detail information or step-by-step procedure on how to install and setup DHCP process or service on windows/Linux servers. In this section, we will provide some hints of how to resolve potential problems to be encountered you setup DHCP Servers. 8.4.1 Hint: Getting DHCP Server to Work Windows Server:

1) Clients are unable to obtain an IP address If a DHCP client does not have a configured IP address, it generally means that the client has not been able to contact a DHCP server. This is either because of a network problem or because the DHCP server is unavailable. If the DHCP server has started and other clients have been able to obtain a valid address, verify that the client has a valid network connection and that all related client hardware devices

(including cables and network adapters) are working properly. 2) The DHCP server is unavailable When a DHCP server does not provide leased addresses to clients, it is often because the DHCP service has failed to start. If this is the case, the server may not have been authorized to operate on the network. If you were previously able to start the DHCP service, but it has since stopped, use Event Viewer to check the system log for any entries that may explain the cause. Next, restart the DHCP service, click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then press ENTER. Type net start dhcpserver, and then press ENTER. Linux Platform:

Troubleshooting DHCP, check the following:

1) Incorrect settings in the /etc/dhcpd.conf file such as not defining the networks for which the DHCP server is responsible;

2) NAT/Firewall rules that block the DHCP bootp protocol on UDP ports 67 and 68;

3) Routers failing to forward the bootp packets to the DHCP server when the clients reside on a separate network. Always check your /var/logs/messages file for dhcpd errors. 4) Finally restart the dhcpd service daemon n o i t a r u g i f n o C

Specify UDP 69 port - for TFTP incoming requests and TCP 12000 - for remote management of the server. For file transmission the server opens UDP ports with random numbers. In case the option Enable NAT or firewall support is activated on the server, the server uses the same port for files transmission and listening to the TFTP incoming requests (UDP 69 port on default). Specify the interface bindings, TFTP root directory, port which the TFTP Server will listen, timeout and number of retries, and TFTP options supported by the server. Configure the relevant TFTP virtual folder in the server. The TFTP virtual folder is the file folder, visible for TFTP clients under a certain name. You can set security settings separately for every virtual TFTP folder. Next, set rights to access TFTP folders according to the relevant clients. n o i t a r u g i f n o C

r e t p a h C SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 38 8.6 SIP Server Setup SIP server is one of the main components of an SME network, dealing with the setup of all SIP calls in the network. A SIP server is also referred to as a SIP Proxy or a Registrar. Although the SIP server is the most important part of the SIP based phone system, some servers only handles call setup and call tear down. It does not actually transmit or receive any audio. This is done by the media server in RTP. The RTX SME family of network phones are fully interoperable with the most of SIP Server applications. There are many off-the-shelf vendor and open source SIP servers. In this section, we will briefly explain settings required to take full advantage of FreePBX SIP Server feature set. The settings are similar for other SIP servers. 8.6.1 FreePBX SIP Server FreePBX is an easy to use GUI (graphical user interface) that controls and manages Asterisk, which the most popular open source telephony engine software. The administrator should refer to the relevant detail step-by-step procedure of how to install FreePBX SIP server. This section briefly describes SIP Server setup parameters. 1) SIP Server Setup Settings NAT Description This option determines the settings for users connecting to an asterisk server. Possible values: Yes, No, Never, Route NAT=route Asterisk will send the audio to the port and IP where its receiving the audio from. Instead of relying on the addresses in the SIP and SDP messages. This will only work if the phone behind NAT send and receive audio on the same port and if they send and receive the signalling on the same port. (The signalling port does not have to be the same as the RTP audio port). NAT=No Asterisk will add an RPORT to the via header of the SIP messages NAT=never This will cause asterisk not to add an RPORT in the VIA line of the sip invite n o i t a r u g i f n o C

r e t p a h C 41 9 SME VoIP Administration Interface The SME VoIP Administration Interface is also known as SME VoIP Configuration. It is the main interface through which the system is managed and debugged. The SME VoIP Configuration Interface is an in-built HTTP Web Server service residing in each base station This interface is user friendly interface and easy to handle even to a first time user. This chapter seeks to define various variables/parameters available for configuration in the network 9.1 Home/Status We describe the parameters found in the front end of the SME VoIP Administration Interface. Feature Home/Status Extensions Servers Network Description This is the front end of the Base stations HTTP web interface. This page shows the summary of current operating condition and settings of the Base station and Handset(s). Sets the Dial plan or phone numbers for the network. On this page the user can define which SIP/NAT server the network should connect to. Typically the user configures the Network settings from here. NAT provisioning: allows configuration of features for resolving of the NAT -

Possible value(s): Static, DHCP DHCP: IP addresses are allocated automatically from a pool of leased address. Static IP: IP addresses are manually assigned by the network administrator. If the user chooses DHCP option, the other IP settings or options are not available. 32-bit IP address of device (e.g. base station). 64-bit IP address will be supported in the future. Permitted value(s): AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD Is device subnet mask. Permitted value(s): AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD This is a 32-bit combination used to describe which portion an IP address refers to the subnet and which part refers to the host. A network mask helps users know which portion of the address identifies the network and which portion of the address identifies the node. Default Gateway Devices default network router/gateway (32-bit). Permitted value(s): AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD e.g. 192.168.50.0 IP address of network router that acts as entrance to other network.

Main server to which a device directs Domain Name System (DNS) queries. Permitted value(s): AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD or <URL>

This is the IP address of server that contains mappings of DNS domain names to various data, e.g. IP address, etc. The user needs to specify this option when static IP address option is chosen. This is an alternate DNS server. 9.4.2 VLAN Settings Enable users to define devices (e.g. Base station, etc) with different physical connection to communicate as if they are connected on a single network segment. The VLAN settings can be used on a managed network with separate Virtual LANs (VLANs) for sending voice and data traffic. To work on these networks, the base stations can tag voice traffic it generates on a specific voice VLAN using the IEEE 802.1q specification. Parameter VLAN id Description Is a 12 bit identification of the 802.1Q VLAN. Permitted value(s): 0 to 4094 (only decimal values are accepted) A VLAN ID of 0 is used to identify priority frames and ID of 4095 (i.e. FFF) is reserved. Null means no VLAN tagging or No VLAN discovery through DHCP. This is a 3 bit value that defines the user priority. Values are from 0 (best effort) to 7 (highest); 1 represents the lowest priority. These values can be used to prioritize different classes of traffic (voice, video, data, etc). Permitted value(s): 8 priority levels (i.e. 0 to 7) VLAN User Priority Screenshot e c a f r e t n I i n o i t a r t s i n m d A P o V E M S I SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 47

r e t p a h C 9.4.3 Boot Server Options Parameter Boot Server DHCP Option Customer DHCP Option Content Option Type Screenshot Description Static:

The base station uses the IP settings configured manually in the boot server through the Network Menu. Option 66:

This the option code contained in the clients initial boot file. The network device searches for option 66 (string type) from the response received from the DHCP server. Custom:

The network device searches for the option number specified by the Boot Server Option parameter, and the type specified by the Boot Server Option Type parameter (below) in the response received from the DHCP server. Custom+Option 66:

The 1st choice option for network device will be to use the custom option if present and the 2nd choice is Option 66 if the custom option is not present. If the DHCP server sends nothing, the following scenarios are possible:

If a boot server value is stored in flash memory and the value is not 0.0.0.0, then the value stored in flash is used. Otherwise the network device sends out a DHCP INFORM query.

- If a single alternate DHCP server responds, this is functionally equivalent to the scenario where the primary DHCP server responds with a valid boot server value. The network device prefers the custom option value over the Option 66 value, but if no custom option is given, the device will use the Option 66 value.

- If no alternate DHCP server responds, the INFORM query process will retry and eventually time out. Permitted value(s): Static, Option 66, Custom, Custom+Option 66 This is a value (a positive integer) used to explain a DHCP action. When this parameter is set to Custom, this parameter specifies the DHCP option number in which the network device will look for its boot server. Permitted value(s): 128 through 254 (Cannot be the same as VLAN ID Option) This parameter should not matter when the Boot server DHCP option is set/enabled. This makes it possible for a user to choose some customized Boot Server Option types. These options are customized by the user itself in the configuration file. When this parameter is set to Custom, this parameter specifies the content type of the DHCP option in which a device should retrieve from its boot server. Permitted value(s): IP address, String The IP Address, must specify the boot server. The String can be URL, FTP, TFTP, HTTPS, etc. The address can be followed by optional directory. e c a f r e t n I i n o i t a r t s i n m d A P o V E M S I SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 48

r e t p a h C SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 58 10 Firmware Upgrade Management This step-by-step chapter describes how to upgrade or downgrade base station(s) and/or handset(s) to the relevant firmware provided by the RTX. RTX supports and provides to the vendor an interface that performs the following operations related to firmware on the device:

1) Verify whether the new firmware package is compatible with the device. 2) Upgrade the firmware on the device to the new firmware 3) Roll back the firmware on the device to the previous firmware version (where necessary) 10.1 Network Dimensioning In principle, a number of hardware and software components should be available or be satisfied before base station/handset update can be possible. The minimum hardware and software components that are required to be able update via TFTP include the following (but not limited to):

Handsets Base stations TFTP Server (Several Windows and Linux applications are available) DHCP Server (Several Windows and Linux applications are available) Workstation (e.g. Normal terminal or PC) Any standard browser (e.g. firefox) Public/Private Network t n e m e g a n a M e d a r g p U e r a w m r i F SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 59

r e t p a h C 10.2 TFTP Configuration This section illustrate TFTP Server configuration using SolarWinds vendor TFTP Server. Create the following relevant folders as shown in the snap shots and choose defaults settings for the remaining options and save. t n e m e g a n a M e d a r g p U e r a w m r i F SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 60

r e t p a h C 10.3 Create Firmware Directories Within the same TFTP Server Interface do the following:

STEP 1 Make a folder named BeatUs in the TFTP-Root and place the fwu file(s)/(Firmware) in this folder. The base firmware must be renamed to BeatUsSw_v00xx.fwu. STEP 2 The admin from the service providers side must create the relevant firmware directory in the server where both old and new firmware(s) can be placed in it. (See the STEP above) The firmware directory or path should be \<Server>\<FwuPath>\BeatUs\, where <Server> is the root directory of the server (e.g. C:\TFTP-Root) and <FwuPath> is a folder within the <Server> that contains the BeatUs directory. IMPORTANT:

The BeatUs directory name cannot be changed. 10.4 Login to Base SME Configuration Interface STEP 3 Connect the Base station to a private network via standard Ethernet cable (CAT-5). STEP 4 Open any standard browser and enter the address:

http://ipdect<MAC-Address-Base-Station>

e.g. http://ipdect00087B00AA10. This will retrieve the HTTP Web Server page from the base station with hardware address 00087B00AA10. STEP 5 You can also use an IP/network protocol analyser e.g. Wireshark (freeware program) to identify which IP the base has received. t n e m e g a n a M e d a r g p U e r a w m r i F

r e t p a h C SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 61 Below is shown how to see which IP address the base has received from the DHCP server. In the example we start the trace and filter on bootp. Then we power up the base which is connected to the same network as the sniffer (wireshark). After a short while an offer is given by the DHCP server, and it is possible to see that the base received the IP address 192.168.50.76 STEP 6 On the Login page, enter your authenticating credentials (i.e. username and password). By default the username and password is admin. Click OK button. t n e m e g a n a M e d a r g p U e r a w m r i F

r e t p a h C 62 SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential STEP 7 Once you have authenticated, the browser will display front end of the SME Configuration Interface. The front end will show relevant information of the base station. STEP 8 Click on Management URL. Enter the relevant Management server information in the system. Select the Management transfer protocol TFTP drop down menu. 10.5 Firmware Update Settings STEP 9 Scroll down and Click on Firmware Update url link in the SME VoIP Configuration Interface to view the Firmware Update Settings page. t n e m e g a n a M e d a r g p U e r a w m r i F

r e t p a h C SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 63 Parameters Description Firmware Update Settings Firmware update server address This is the IP address of server where the firmware is located. Currently, only 32-

bit is supported (i.e. IPv4 type <aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd>) Firmware path The firmware is found at the \<Server>\<FwuPath>\BeatUs\ directory found in the FTP or TFTP server. Note: Either / or \ can be used The <Server> is the root directory of the server created by the administrator and should NOT be specified. The <FwuPath> is a folder within the <Server> that contains the BeatUs directory. This MUST be specified. By default the \BeatUs is hard-coded into the firmware. Therefore it should not be specified in the firmware path. Example of firmware path is \HQ_Office, \South_Office, or \FwuPath, etc. in that manner. Update Gateways/Handsets Required Version This is 8-bit value. The firmware filename is BeatUsSw_v00XX.fwu. The administrator has to enter a numerical value XX or 00XX, where XX is a positive integer. STEP 10 Click on Firmware Update URL. On the Firmware Update Settings page enter the relevant parameters as described in the table above. Next, Click on Save button to keep the modified parameters into the base station. t n e m e g a n a M e d a r g p U e r a w m r i F SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 64

r e t p a h C 10.6 Base Station(s) Firmware Upgrade STEP 11 On the Firmware Update Settings page > scroll down to the Update Gateways section >

Enter the relevant firmware version (e.g. 11) of the base station to upgrade or to downgrade. It is possible to upgrade a single base station and/or several base stations > the admin should choose right the radio button. STEP 12 Still on the same Update Gateway section > choose Start update button > select OK button from the dialog window to start the update/downgrade procedure. The relevant base station(s) will automatically reboot and retrieve the firmware specified from the server and update itself accordingly. All on-going voice calls are dropped from the base station(s) immediately the firmware update procedure starts. t n e m e g a n a M e d a r g p U e r a w m r i F SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 65

r e t p a h C 10.7 Handset (s) Firmware Upgrade STEP 13 Scroll down to Update handsets section on the Firmware Update Settings page > Enter the relevant handset firmware (e.g. 11) to upgrade or downgrade > press Start update button > Click on OK button from the dialog window to initialize the process of updating all handsets in the private network. As at the time of documenting this chapter, two different handset hardware module exist i.e. UXP1240H HW ver 00 and the native hardware UXP1240H. 10.8 Verification of Firmware Upgrade STEP 14 From the Handset Menu navigate to Settings > Scroll down to Status this will list information regarding Base station and Handset firmware versions. SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential t n e m e g a n a M e d a r g p U e r a w m r i F 66

r e t p a h C 10.9 Reboot the Base station(s) STEP 17 In principle the base station(s) should reboot automatically when the Start update button is selected > to begin the firmware update procedure. If for some unknown reasons the base station does restart, then the admin must manually reboot the base station so the firmware update process can begin in the base station. Make sure the URL is shown on the page before rebooting the base station, e.g. tftp://192.68.50.1/FwuPath Click OK button from the dialog window. A successful restart of the base stations will lead to a display of the page: Gateway has been reset. The firmware update is now in progress. STEP 18 Wait about 3-5 minutes, Reboot the base/gateway. The base/gateway will now be updated (base LED will flash). The software version number on the start page should be changed to the new version number. The message Base FWU ended with exit code -2101 is shown in the debug log and the new firmware will be running after a restart of the base/gateway.

r e t p a h C 76 12 VLAN Setup Management In this chapter we describe how to setup a typical VLAN in the network. 12.1 Introduction In this chapter, we describe how to setup VLAN to typical network. There are three main stages involved in this procedure:

1) Configure a VLAN Aware Switch to a specific (un)tagged VLAN ID, so the SME system can process untagged frames forwarded to it. 2) Setup the Time Server (NTP Server) and other relevant network servers. 3) Configure the HTTP server in relevant Base stations to access the features in the PBX or SME system. VLAN allows administrators to separate logical network connectivity from physical connectivity analogous to traditional LAN which is limited by its physical connectivity. Normally, users in a LAN belong to a single broadcast domain and communicate with each other at the Data Link Layer or Layer 2. LANs are segmented into smaller units for each IP subnets and here communication between subnets is possible at the Network Layer or Layer 3, using IP routers. A VLAN can be described as a single physical network that can be logically divided into discrete LANs that can operate independently of each other. An Illustration of using VLANs to create independent broadcast domains across switches is shown below:

The figure above highlights several key differences between traditional LANs and VLANs. All switches are interconnected to each other. However, there are three different VLANs or broadcast domains on the network. Physical isolation is not required to define broadcast domains. If the figure was a traditional LAN without VLAN-aware switches, all stations would belong to one broadcast domain. All switch ports can communicate with one another at the Data Link Layer, if they become t n e m e g a n a M p u t e S N A L V

r e t p a h C members of the same VLAN. SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 77 The physical location of an end station does not define its LAN boundary. 1. An end station can be physically moved from one switch port to another without losing its view of the network. That is, the set of stations it can communicate with at the Data Link Layer remains the same, provided that its VLAN membership is also migrated from port to port. 2. By reconfiguring the VLAN membership of the switch port an end station is attached to, you can change the network view of the end station easily, without requiring a physical move from port to port. 12.2 Backbone/ VLAN Aware Switches To implement a VLAN in your network, you must use VLAN-aware switches. Before we continue, let consider two rules to remember regarding the functioning of a regular LAN switch:

1. When the switch receives a broadcast or multicast frame from a port, it floods (or broadcasts) the frame to all other ports on the switch. 2. When the switch receives a unicast frame, it forwards it only to the port to which it is addressed. A VLAN-aware switch changes the above two rules as follows:

1. When the switch receives a broadcast or multicast frame from a port, it floods the frame to only those ports that belong to the same VLAN as the frame. 2. When a switch receives a unicast frame, it forwards it to the port to which it is addressed, only if the port belongs to the same VLAN as the frame. 3. A unique number called the VLAN ID identifies each VLAN. Which VLAN Does a Frame Belong To?

The previous section notes that a frame can belong to a VLAN. The next question ishow is this association made?

A VLAN-aware switch can make the association based on various attributes of the type of frame, destination of MAC address, IP address, TCP port, Network Layer protocol, and so on. SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential t n e m e g a n a M p u t e S N A L V 78

r e t p a h C An illustration of IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tag in Ethernet frame is as follows:

12.3 How VLAN Switch Work: VLAN Tagging VLAN functionality can be implemented via explicit frame tagging by switches and end stations. Network switches and end stations that know about VLANs are said to be VLAN aware. Network switches and end stations that can interpret VLAN tags are said to be VLAN tag aware. VLAN-tag-

aware switches and end stations add VLAN tags to standard Ethernet framesa process called explicit tagging. In explicit tagging, the end station or switch determines the VLAN membership of a frame and inserts a VLAN tag in the frame header (see figure above for VLAN tagging), so that downstream link partners can examine just the tag to determine the VLAN membership. 12.4 Implementation Cases Common types of usage scenarios for VLANs on typical VLAN switches: port-based VLANs, protocol-based VLANs, and IP subnet-based VLANs. Before figuring out which usage scenario suits your needs, you must understand what each type of usage scenario implies. Port-based VLAN: All frames transmitted by a NIC are tagged using only one VLAN ID. The NIC does not transmit or receive any untagged frames. All protocols and applications use this virtual interfaces virtual PPA to transmit data traffic. Therefore all frames transmitted by that NIC port are tagged with the VLAN ID of that Virtual Interface. Protocol-based VLAN: The NIC assigns a unique VLAN ID for each Layer 3 protocol (such as IPv4, IPv6, IPX, and so on). Therefore, the VLAN ID of outbound frames is different for each protocol. An inbound frame is dropped if the protocol and VLAN ID do not match. IP subnet-based VLAN: The NIC assigns a unique VLAN ID for each IP subnet it belongs to. Therefore, the VLAN ID of outbound frames is different for different destination subnets. An inbound frame is dropped if the IP subnet and VLAN ID do not match. t n e m e g a n a M p u t e S N A L V

r e t p a h C SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 79 12.5 Base station Setup After the admin have setup the Backbone switch, next is to configure the Base stations via HTTP interface. STEP 1 Connect the Base station to a private network via standard Ethernet cable (CAT-5). STEP 2 Open any standard browser and enter the address:

http://ipdect<MAC-Address-Base-Station> or http://<IP-address of base station>

This will retrieve the HTTP Web Server page from the base station. STEP 3 On the Login page, enter your authenticating credentials (the username and password is admin by default unless it is changed). Click OK button. STEP 4 Once you have authenticated, the browser will display front end of the SME Configuration Interface. The front end will show relevant information of the base station. STEP 5 Create the relevant SIP server information in the system. Each service provider/customer should refer SIP server vendor on how to setup SIP servers. t n e m e g a n a M p u t e S N A L V SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 80

r e t p a h C 13 Multi-cell Setup & Management This chapter seeks to describe how to install, add and synchronize one or multiple base stations to the network. There are two main procedures involved:

1) Proper placement of the base stations (which is called network dimensioning). The present chapter does not address this issue. Refer to Chapter 4 for details. 2) Creating and adding base station profiles to the network via the SME Configuration Tool (to form a multi-cell system). This chapter describes the second procedure. This chapter is valid for Base station firmware version 00.49 and above. 13.1 SME Configuration Interface RTX have offered HTTP interface in base station firmware that can be used as HTTP Web Server. The SME Configuration Interface can be retrieved from this HTTP Web Server in each Base station. The HTTP Web Server is enabled in the base station by default. This procedure is valid for Base station firmware version 00.34 and above. The system administrator must update the relevant Base station(s) to the latest firmware before proceeding to the next section. Refer to Chapter 10. 13.2 Adding Base stations via SME Configuration Interface Here are the recommended steps to add Base stations to network:

STEP 1 Connect the Base station to a private network via standard Ethernet cable (CAT-5). STEP 2 Open any standard browser and enter the address:

http://ipdect<MAC-Address-Base-Station>

e.g. http://ipdect00087B00AA10. This will retrieve the HTTP Web Server page from the base station with hardware address 00087B00AA10. SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential t n e m e g a n a M

p u t e S l l e c

i t l u M

r e t p a h C 83 STEP 3 Skip this step if you were successful with STEP 2. If the MAC-address method as described above does not work, then use a standard network protocol analyzer (e.g. Wireshark) to eavesdrop the IP address allocated to the base unit by the DHCP server. You can download Wireshark follow its documentation to know how it is done. Enter the IP address into the address bar of the browser to retrieve base station HTTP Web Server Page. STEP 4 On the Login page, enter your authenticating credentials (i.e. username and password is default admin). Click OK button. STEP 5 Once you have authenticated, the browser will display front end of the SME Configuration Interface. The front end will show relevant information of the base station (in this case MAC-

Addr: 00087B00AA10 as highlighted in the snap-shot below). t n e m e g a n a M

On the Multi Cell settings Page, choose Enable option from the drop down menu of the Multi cell system parameter. Enable the Multi cell debug option if the system administrator wants some Multi-cell related logs to be catalogued by the system. STEP 10 On the same Multi Cell Settings page > Enter the relevant values for System chain ID and Synchronization time (s) respectively. The System chain ID is a geographically unique DECT cell identity allocated to bridge several base stations together in a chain. An example is 2275. The Synchronization time (s) parameter is defined as window/period of time in seconds a specific base station synchronises to the master base station unit (by default 60). Synchronising the slaves to the master updates them with the latest network information. t n e m e g a n a M

r e t p a h C 99 SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 14 Functionality Overview So far we have setup our SME VoIP system. Next, in this chapter we describe what features and functionalities are available in the system. The SME VOIP system supports all traditional and advanced features of most telephony networks. In addition, 3rd party components handle features like voice mail, call diversion, conference calls, etc. A brief description of SME VOIP network functionalities are:

Outgoing/incoming voice call management: The SME VOIP system can provide multiple priority user classes. Further, about 3 repeaters can be linked to a Base-station depending on customer requirements and assuming that the DECT RPN values are geographically unique. Internal/external handover: User locations are reported to SIP Server in order to provide differentiated services and tariff management. Within a DECT traffic area, established calls can seamlessly be handover between Base-stations using connection handover procedures. External handover are supported for terminals within roaming regions. Mobility: The network supports seamless mobility where handset subscription information controls allowed mobility. A user terminal can be assigned 2 mobility options:

- Mobility within in single DECT traffic area.

- Mobility within a group of DECT traffic areas. Registration procedure can be activated in one or multiple cells. Security: The RTX SME VOIP system also supports robust security functionalities for Base-stations. Most security1 functionality is intrinsically woven into the SME VOIP network structure so that network connections can be encrypted and terminal authentication can be performed. 14.1 System Feature List This section gives a summary of some essential functionality within the wireless IP network.

r e t p a h C 103 15 Network Operations 15.1 Introduction In this chapter, we will provide an overview of the operation of the network during system start-up, location registration and speech calls including illustration of different call scenarios. 15.2 System Start Up When a Base station Unit is powered up, it achieves IP address from DHCP server and time from the Time-

Server. Optionally the base retrieves its configuration from a file on the TFTP server. This configuration file describes used network and cluster configuration parameters (optional and not needed). The SME VoIP network has successfully started up. 15.3 Terminal Attachment When a DECT Terminal (also called handset or SIP node) is turned on or moved into the coverage area of a Base-station it has to get attached to the network. When more Base-stations are available, the Terminal selects the one with best RF signal. This procedure, called Location Registration, always keeps the network informed about where a Terminal is located and enables it receive or originate calls. This procedure also authenticates the Terminal and checks the validity of the associated subscription. 15.4 Outgoing Calls Outgoing calls are initiated by the Terminal. It selects the Base-station with best RF signal and establishes a radio communication link to Base-station. DECT call control messages are exchanged between Terminal, Base station and other servers. This server forwards the outgoing call as SIP messages to the external SIP Server. The RTP stream is established between the involved Base-station (and the Media Gateway for PSTN calls). If the call is between two Terminals the media stream may be routed directly between the two involved Base-stations depending on the SIP Server routing strategy. 15.5 Incoming Calls Incoming calls are initiated by SIP INVITE messages from the SIP Server to the Base unit; inviting it to participate in an incoming session. The system sends paging messages to all the Base-station where the Terminal last performed a Location Registration. When the paging is received the Terminal establishes a radio communication link to the best available Base-station and sends a response back to DECT controller. DECT call control messages are exchanged and the Terminal starts ringing. When the user answers the call, a connect message is sent to the IP DECT controller that completes the incoming call by sending 200 OK back to the SIP Server and establishes an RTP media stream between Base-station (and Media Gateway from PSTN line). For internal calls the media stream may be routed directly between the involved Base-

stations. s n o i t a r e p O k r o w t e N

r e t p a h C SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 104 15.6 Handover 15.6.1 RTP Stream Remains at Initial Base Station When the call is set up, the handset is located at base station 1. Thus, the DECT communication takes place between the handset and station 1, and the SIP signalling as well as the RTP stream takes place between base station 1 and the SIP server/media gateway. The figure below illustrates this application:

Stage 1: Before handover the handset is located at BS 1. After handover, the handset is located at base station 2, and hence the DECT communication goes on between the handset and base station 2. However, to avoid disruption of the audio, the RTP stream is relayed via the initial base station, since a transfer of the RTP stream to another base station may cause the media gateway (or whatever the remote endpoint is) to re-initialize the RTP stream with a small disruption of the RTP stream as consequence. Thus, from the point of view of the remote endpoint, the RTP stream is not affected by the handover, and since the call control also remains at base station 1 the SIP signalling is also unaffected, as shown below:

Stage 2: After handover to BS 2, the HS is located at BS 2, and the RTP stream is relayed via BS 1. Since the call control and hence the SIP User Agent remains at the initial base station, the SIP registration is also unaffected by the handover.

r e t p a h C SIP Server/Media GatewayBase station 1DECT ConnectionRTP StreamSIP SignalingBase station 2Base station n If the handset makes yet another handover, the RTP stream will still be relayed via the base station at which, the call was established (here base station 1). This is illustrated as follows:

After handover to BS n the handset is located at BS n, and the RTP stream is relayed via BS 1. 15.7 Roaming By roaming means the handset moves its SIP and DECT registration from one base station to another base station. Roaming can only be initiated from idle. Roaming does not immediately result in a new SIP registration, because this may cause a lot of unnecessary signalling. Therefore, the handset will not perform a new DECT Location Registration until it has resided on the same base station for a defined period of time. Since the SIP registration is initiated by the completion of the Location Registration, a new SIP registration will also not be done until this procedure has completed on a new base station. Thus, a handset must stay on the same base station as given in the rules stated below, before a new SIP registration will be made. Timing Criteria for Location Registration; or roaming will be initiated when:

1. Handsets lose contact to first base unit due to reset/power off/heavy DECT traffic. 2. After 5 minutes (configuration is possible) but before 5+2 minutes a. The plus maximum 2 minutes will occur when service connection traffic is signaled at the same time as location should happen. In this case the location registration procedure will be delayed. If an incoming call arrives while the handset has moved to another base station (base station 2) but still not performed a new Location Registration, the SIP call will arrive at the initial base station (base station 1), but the RTP stream will be set up between base station 2 and the remote endpoint (refer to figure below). Alternatively, in the case of an outgoing call, the SIP call will be established from the initial base station, and the RTP stream will be set up between base station 2 and the remote endpoint. s n o i t a r e p O k r o w t e N

Next we describe the signal flow graphs for some selected operations of the system. 16.1 Power Up Handset The handset is still off after the battery has been put into the Handset. The user has to Long Key Press the Red-key (On-hook key) to power up the handset. If the handset is registered, it will start searching for a base and if the handset is in range of a base, then it will location register to the base. The handset will display Unregistered if the handset isnt registered. If the handset is not registered, then the user has to enable the registration mode on the base and afterwards register the handset by selecting Connectivity Register <type in Access code> *OK+ on the MMI of handset. The handset supports connectionless handover between bases and inter-cell handover between a base and repeaters. Base Station Power is supplied to the base (gateway) via PoE. The base will start operation when connected to the LAN or WAN. The wireless handset must be registered to the base and a SIP proxy must be configured on the base (refer to Chapter(s) 11,13 for details). The registration mode must be enabled to make it possible to register a handset to the base. The registration mode is enabled on the base by accessing the web-interface on the base. This is done by typing in the IP address of base in the browser on a computer connected to the same network as the base. The user will be prompted for a user name and Password to access the web interface on the base. The user selects an extension via the web interface and click Register. The base will afterwards be open for registrations for 5 minutes. Up to 40 bases can be linked together and synchronisation between the bases is done via the air and the network. The base supports up to 10 SIP-proxies and 30 handsets. 16.2 Power Down Handset If the Handset loses battery or the battery level is less than a threshold that is in the EEPROM, it goes to power down mode. A battery warning will be given before the handset power down. Base Station One of the bases will be a master base and another base will work as fall back base in case of power failure on the master base. All handsets located on a base will be un-located in case of power down of the base. In case of power failure on one of the bases, the user can move to another base area and the handset will then locate on this base and be workable on the new base. r e v e S P I S

r e t p a h C SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 108 16.3 Call Operations In this section we describe call procedures in the SME VoIP system. We will narrow our description to call transfer and call conference. Please view accompanied document for detail description of Handset operations [3]. Some Definitions There are three actors in a given transfer event, each playing one of the following roles:

Transferee: the party being transferred to the Transfer Target. Transferor: the party initiating the transfer Transfer Target: the new party being introduced into a call with the Transferee. The following roles are used to describe transfer requirements and scenarios:

1. Originator - wishes to place a call to the Recipient. This actor is the source of the first INVITE in a session, to a Facilitator or a Screener. 2. Facilitator - receives a call or out-of-band request from the Originator, establishes a call to the Recipient through the Screener, and connects the Originator to the Recipient. 3. Screener - receives a call ultimately intended for the Recipient and transfers the calling party to the Recipient if appropriate. 4. Recipient - the party the Originator is ultimately connected to. Call Transfer - Requirements Any party in a call session is able to transfer any other party in that session at any point in that session. The Transferor and the Transferee are not removed from a session as part of a transfer transaction. This requirement is needed so e.g. ring-back on transfer failure will not be lost. The Transferor is aware of whether or not the transfer was successful 16.3.1 Initiating Calls Enter Number Press Green Button to start dialling Originating Party SME VoIP System Guide, Version 1.5 Proprietary and Confidential 109 r e v e S P I S

The document will also describe some options available in the Service Menu. 17.1 Service Menu Site Survey Mode This is normally reserved and used to reveal features not used/seen by the end-user. By means of a special key sequence a special service menu can be accessed. This special menu enables some special feature like Master reset, Site survey mode, Handset logs, Status, IPEI and Demo mode. To access the service menu, follow these steps:

STEP 1 Click on Menu from the Handset > Type *SERVICE* or *7378423* from the keypad to display the Service Menu STEP 2 On the Service Menu scroll down to the Site survey mode > Enable the Site survey mode to switch from Off to On. This sets the handset in a state to iteratively scan other handsets around it and/or chained to the same base station(s). Handsets in site survey mode can display up to 5 other handsets with the strongest signal strength.

-dBm (Signal Strength) FE PP:XX FP:XX The line contains the list of base stations identified by the handset or RPNs of the RFP-table entries in respect to the RSSI-values below. Up to 5 RPNs can be displayed. The Radio Fixed Part Number (RPN) is an 8-bit DECT cell identity allocated by the installer. The allocated RPN within a cluster must be geographically unique. This indicates the actual field strength information (RSSI) for the base station the current handset is locked to and additional RFPs stored in the RFP-table. RSSI unit is -dBm. The RSSI value of the RFP-table is updated in a 250ms cycle. This causes an update of any entry in a table with 3 RFPs every 3 * 250ms =

750ms. If the RFP could not be synchronized for an RSSI-update, the RSSI value is decreased. This implies that an entry will be deleted after a while, if e.g. the dummy-bearer position has changed or the RFP is unreachable. Indicates the number of sync/CRC errors (frame-errors) within the last update cycle. This information is only valid for the existing link to the current handset located to the relevant base station.
