r e t p a h C SME VoIP System Guide, Version 2.6 Proprietary and Confidential 9 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 50 bases in the same network. Further it is able to support up to 1000 registered handsets (RTX8630, RTX8830 and RTX8430). 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 IP DECT CAT-IQ repeater RTX4024 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 indoor1 (300m outdoor). Radio coverage can extended using repeaters that are installed with same distance to base-station(s). Repeaters are range extenders and cannot be used to solve local call capacity issues. In this case additional bases must be used. 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. 1 Measured with European DECT radio and depends on local building layout and material SME VoIP System Guide, Version 2.6 Proprietary and Confidential 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 10 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. 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 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 audio 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 manuals for full details handset features. 2.3 Wireless Bands The bands supported in the SME VoIP are summarized as follows:
Frequency bands:
1880 1930 MHz (DECT) 1880 1900 MHz (10 carriers) Europe/ETSI 1910 1930 MHz (10 carriers) LATAM 1920 1930 MHz (5 carriers) US 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

SME telephony network composed of one base station Telephony network that consists of more than one base station Is the air core interface between two base stations. 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 12 3 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. 3.1 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 centre 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 Plastic stand 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 a e p e R

r e t p a h C SME VoIP System Guide, Version 2.6 Proprietary and Confidential 13 3.2 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:
LED State Unlit Unlit/Solid red Blinking green Solid red Blinking red Solid green Blinking red Solid red State No power in unit Error condition Initialisation Factory reset warning or long press in BS reset button Factory setting in progress Ethernet connection available (Normal operation) Ethernet connect not available OR handset de/registration failed Critical error (can only be identified by RTX Engineers). Symptoms include no system/SIP debug logs are logged, etc. Press reset button of base station. No IP address received Orange Blinking orange 3.3 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. r e t a e p e R

r e t p a h C SME VoIP System Guide, Version 2.6 Proprietary and Confidential 14 3.4 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 10 for important information regarding network requirements, deployment considerations, site planning, cell coverage/capacity planning, environmental considerations and recommended Base station placement. 3.4.1 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

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 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. 4.2 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 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 2.6 Proprietary and Confidential 19 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. 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. 4.3 Using the Handset Please refer handset manual for detailed description of how to use the handset features [1]. y d a e R t e s d n a H g n i k a M

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 a user friendly interface and easy to handle even to a first time user. Note: Enabling secure web is not possible. For secure configuration use secure provisioning. This chapter seeks to define various variables/parameters available for configuration in the network. 5.1 Web navigation We describe the left menu in the front end of the SME VoIP Administration Interface. Feature Home/Status Extensions Description This is the front end of the Base stations HTTP web interface.

Typically the user configures the Network settings from here. NAT provisioning: allows configuration of features for resolving of the NAT Network Address Translation. These features enable interoperability with most types of routers. DHCP: allows changes in protocol for getting a dynamic IP address. Virtual LAN: specifies the Virtual LAN ID and the User priority. IP Mode: specifies using dynamic (DHCP) or static IP address for your SME network. IP address: if using DHCP leave it empty. Only write in, when you use static IP address. Subnet mask: if using DHCP, leave it empty. Only write in, when you use static IP address. DNS server: specify if using DHCP, leave it empty. Only write in the DNS server address of your Internet service provider, when you use static IP address. (DNS =

Defines the Configuration server address, Management transfer protocol, sizes of logs/traces that should be catalogued in the system. Remote firmware updates (HTTP(s)/TFTP) settings of Base stations and handsets. Here the user can configure the Time server. It should be used as time server in relevant country for exact time. The time servers have to deliver the time to conform to the Network Time Protocol (NTP). Handsets are synchronised to this time. Base units synchronise to the master using the Time server. Specifying the country/territory where the SME network is located ensures that your phone connection functions properly. Note: The base language and country setting are independent of each other. The users can administrate certificates and create account credentials with which they can log in or log out of the embedded HTTP web server. Interface to common directory load of up to 3000 entries using *csv format or configuration of LDAP directory. Note: LDAP and central directory cannot operate at the same time. Specify to connect base station or chain of base stations to the network. Make sure the system ID for the relevant base stations are the same otherwise the multi-cell feature will not work.

The source port of the connection will be chosen by the TCP stack, and hence the local SIP port parameter, specified within the SIP/RTP Settings (see 5.5.5) will not be used. The Signal TCP Source Port parameter specifies if the used source port shall be signaled explicitly in the SIP messages. When using TCP or TLS as SIP transport, choose if a TCL/TLS connection shall be established for each SIP extension or if the base station shall establish one connection which all SIP extensions use. Please note that if TLS is used and SIP server requires client authentication (and requests a client certificate), this setting must be set to disabled. 0: Disabled. (Use one TCP/TLS connection for all SIP extensions) 1: Enabled. (Use one TCP/TLS connection per SIP extensions). If disabled RTP stream will be send from the base, where the handset is located. By enable the RTP stream will always be send from the base, where the SIP registration is made. This setting is typically enabled for operation with Cisco. This directive defines the window period (30 sec.) to keep opening the port of relevant NAT-aware router(s), etc. If enabled extension will be shown on handset idle screen. Specify the hold behaviour by handset hold feature. RFC 3264: Hold is signalled according to RFC 3264, i.e. the connection information part of the SDP contains the IP Address of the endpoint, and the direction attribute is sendonly, recvonly or inactive dependant of the context RFC 2543: The old way of signalling HOLD. The connection information part of the SDP is set to 0.0.0.0, and the direction attribute is sendonly, recvonly or inactive dependant of the context When we have two calls, and one call is on hold, it is possible to perform attended transfer. When the transfer soft key is pressed in this situation, we have traditionally also put the active call on hold before the SIP REFER request is sent. However, we have experienced that some PBXes do not expect that the 2nd call is put on hold, and therefore attended transfer fails on these PBXes. The "Attended Transfer Behavior" feature defines whether or not the 2nd call shall be put on hold before the REFER is sent. 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

r e t p a h C 5.14 Alarm In the Alarm Settings menu, it is controlled how an alarm appears on the handset. For example if the handset detects Man Down, then it is defined in this menu what alarm signal this type of alarm will send out and if a pre-alarm shall be signaled etc. All configuration of the handset Alarm Settings is done from the base station. The concept is that on the Alarm page on the web server, eight different alarm profiles can be configured. Afterwards for each handset, it can be selected which of the configured alarm profiles, the given handset shall subscribe to. When this is done the selected alarm profiles are sent to the handset. See section 5.3.2.3 Multiline: Edit handset The parameters that can be configured are:
Parameters Idx Profile Alias Description Indicates the index number of a specific alarm. An alias or user-friendly name to help identify the different profiles when selecting which profiles to enable for the individual handsets. The type of alarm is dependent of what kind of event that has triggered the alarm on the handset. The handset supports either of the following categories:
Man Down No Movement Running Pull Cord Emergency Button Disabled The way the alarm is signalled as it received on the handset. Message: A text message to an alarm server. Call: An outgoing call to the specified emergency number. Enable/disable the possibility to stop/cancel the alarm from the handset. Alarm Type Alarm Signal Stop Alarm from Handset Trigger Delay The period from when the alarm has fired until the handset shows a pre-alarm warning. If set to 0, there will be no pre-alarm warning, and the alarm will be signalled immediately. The alarm algorithm typically needs about 6 sec. to detect e.g. man down etc. Enable/disable the possibility to stop/cancel the pre-alarm from the handset. The period from the pre-alarm warning is shown until the actual alarm is Stop Pre-Alarm from Handset Pre-Alarm Delay SME VoIP System Guide, Version 2.6 Proprietary and Confidential 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
:
r e t p a h C 68 Howling signalled. The maximum value is 255. Enable/disable if howling shall be started in the handset, when the alarm is signalled. If disabled, only the configured signal is sent (call or message). This alarm feature is only available on some types of handsets (e.g. the RTX8830) After configuration, the handset must be rebooted. 5.14.1 Use of Emergency Alarms As described above, it can be configured if it shall be possible to stop an alarm from the handset. If the possibility to stop an alarm from the handset is disabled, it is ensured that an alarm is not stopped before someone at e.g. an emergency center has received the alarm and reacted upon it. The behavior of a handset when an alarm is sent depends on the configured Alarm Signal:
Call: When the Alarm Signal is configured as Call, the handset will make a call to the specified emergency number, and the alarm is considered stopped when the call is terminated. If it is not allowed to stop the alarm from the handset, it will not be possible to terminate the call from handset, and the alarm will be considered as stopped only when the remote end (e.g. the emergency center) terminates the call. Message: When the Alarm Signal is configured as Message, the handset will send an alarm message to the specified alarm server, and enable auto answer mode. If Howling is enabled, the handset will also start the Howling tone. The alarm will not stop until a call is made, and since auto answer mode is enabled, the emergency center can make the call, and the person with the handset does not have to do anything to answer the call, it will answer automatically. Again, the alarm is considered stopped, when the call is terminated with the same restrictions as for the Call alarm signal. All type of alarms have the same priority. This means that once an alarm is active, it cannot be overruled by another alarm until the alarm has been stopped. However, if the alarm is not yet active, i.e. if it is in pre-
alarm state and an alarm configured with no pre-alarm is fired, then the new alarm will become active and stop the pending alarm. Alarms with no pre-alarm are considered important, and there is no possibility to cancel them before they are sent, and therefore alarms with no pre-alarm, are given higher priority than alarms in pre-alarm state. The Emergency Button could be an example of an alarm which would be configured without pre-alarm. Thus, when the Emergency Button is pressed you want to be sure the alarm is sent. However, If another alarm was already in pre-alarm state, it could potentially be cancelled, and if the Emergency Button alarm was ignored in this case, no alarm would be sent. This is the reason why alarms with no pre-alarm, are given higher priority than alarms in pre-alarm state. 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 2.6 Proprietary and Confidential 69

r e t p a h C 6 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 12 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. 6.1 Adding Base stations 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 Use one of the two methods to determine the base station IP address. a. Use the IP find menu in the handset (Menu * 4 7 *) to determine the IP address of the base station by matching the MAC address on the back of the base station with the MAC address list in the handset. b. Use the IPdect feature STEP 3 Open browser on the computer and type in the IP address of the base. Press Enter to access the base Login to base station. 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. t n e m e g a n a M

Make sure there is contact to the Time server otherwise the Multi-cell feature will not work. You can verify whether the Time server is reachable af rebooting the base station by verifying the correct Time Server IP address is still in place. 6.1.2 SIP Server (or PBX Server) Setup STEP 6 Create the relevant SIP server (or PBX Server) information in the system. Each service provider/customer should refer SIP server vendor on how to setup SIP servers. Click the link Server at the left hand column of home page, you can add your SIP server for base station use. Next, from the Server page, click on the Add Server URL and enter the relevant SIP server information (an example is shown below).

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 9 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 55555. 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). Note: Do NOT use a chain ID similar to an extension. Click on Save button to keep modified changes of multi cell settings into the base station. t n e m e g a n a M

r e t p a h C 9 Functionality Overview So far we have setup our SME VoIP system. Next, in this chapter we list 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 forward, 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, up to 3 repeaters can be linked to a Base-station. Internal 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. Security: The RTX SME VOIP system also supports robust security functionalities for Base-stations. Most security2 functionality is intrinsically woven into the SME VOIP network structure so that network connections can be encrypted and terminal authentication can be performed. 9.1 Gateway Interface Connector interfaces Power LAN Interface Internet Protocol:

r e t p a h C Appendix 10 Appendix A: Basic Network Server(s) Configuration In this chapter we describe how to setup the various server elements in the system. 10.1 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. 10.2 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. 10.3 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. 10.3.1.1 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. 10.4 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 t p a h C 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. 10.4.1 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

r e t p a h C SME VoIP System Guide, Version 2.6 Proprietary and Confidential 106 10.5 TFTP Server Setup There are several TFTP servers in the market place; in this section we describe how to setup a commonly used TFTP Server. 10.5.1 TFTP Server Settings The administrator must configure basic parameters of the TFTP application:
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 10.6 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. 10.6.1 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 11 Appendix B: Using Base with VLAN Network In this chapter we describe how to setup a typical VLAN in the network. 11.1 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 k r o w t e N N A L V h t i w e s a B g n i s U

r e t p a h C members of the same VLAN. SME VoIP System Guide, Version 2.6 Proprietary and Confidential 111 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. 11.2 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 2.6 Proprietary and Confidential 112

B x i d n e p p A An illustration of IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tag in Ethernet frame is as follows:
11.3 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. 11.4 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. k r o w t e N N A L V h t i w e s a B g n i s U

r e t p a h C 115 12 Appendix C: 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. 12.1 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 12.2 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. 12.3 Site Planning 12.3.1 Location Probability The quality of coverage is determined by location probability. Please see the How to Deploy SME VOIP System manual for more information. 12.3.2 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).

r e t p a h C 116 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. 12.4 Cell Coverage / Capacity Planning 12.4.1 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 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:

r e t p a h C 117 12.4.2 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. 12.5 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 equipment 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 1000 handsets depending on the configuration. Base stations/Repeaters:
The system can easily scale up to 50 base stations. Depending on the network setup, coverage can be extended by up to 3 repeaters pr. base station. The planner should bear in mind that base stations can support 10 simultaneously call sessions while repeaters can support 5 call sessions. n o i t a z i m l i i t p O

r e t p a h C SME VoIP System Guide, Version 2.6 Proprietary and Confidential 118 Core Network Equipment:
This equipment is at the premises of the service operator or data centre. 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. 12.6 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 and dry. 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. 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. n o i t a z i 12.7 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. SME VoIP System Guide, Version 2.6 Proprietary and Confidential m l i i t p O

C x i d n e p p A

r e t p a h C 119 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. Possible EMF sources are radio transmitters, electric arc welding machines, copying machines, electric motors, refrigeration units, power transformers, electric load centres, and main circuit breaker panels. Ensure that the electrical service is sufficient and located in close proximity to the Base stations. n o i t a z i 12.8 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 deployment testing. Please see the How to Deploy SME VOIP System manual for more information.

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 l i i t p O

r e t p a h C 14 Appendix E: Network Operations 14.1 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. 14.2 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. 14.3 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. 14.4 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. 14.5 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 14.6 Handover 14.6.1 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. 14.7 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
