comprises 45,000 professionals of diverse nationalities, operating across 17 countries
including 360 points of presence in India. HCL has global partnerships with several leading
Fortune 1000 firms, including several IT and Technology majors

HISTORY
Born in 1976, HCL has a 3-decade rich history of inventions and innovations. In 1978, HCL
developed the first indigenous microcomputer at the same time as Apple and 3 years before IBM's
PC. During this period, India was a black box to the world and the world was a black box to India.
This microcomputer virtually gave birth to the Indian computer industry. The 80's saw HCL
developing expertise in many other technologies. HCL's in-depth knowledge of UNIX led to the
development of a fine grained multi-processor UNIX in 1988, three years ahead of Sun and HP.

HCL's R&D was spun off as HCL Technologies in 1997 to mark their advent into the
software services arena. During the last eight years, HCL has strengthened its processes and
applied its expertise, developed over 30 years into multiple practices - semi-conductor, operating
systems, automobile, avionics, bio-medical engineering, wireless, telecom technologies, and many
more.

Today, HCL sells more PCs in India than any other brand, runs Northern Ireland's largest
BPO operation, and manages the network for Asia's largest stock exchange network apart from
designing zero visibility landing systems to land the world's most popular airplane.

Shiv Nadar is the founder of HCL. He founded HCL in 1976 in a Delhi "barsaati". In 1978,
HCL developed the first indigenous micro-computer at the same time as Apple and 3 years before
IBM's PC. In 1980, HCL introduced bit sliced, 16-bit processor based micro-computer. In 1983, HCL
Indigenously developed an RDBMS, a Networking OS and a Client Server architecture, at the same
time as global IT peers. In 1986, HCL became the largest IT company in India. In 1988, HCL
introduced fine grained multi-processor Unix-3 years ahead of "Sun" and "HP". In 1991, HCL
entered into a joint venture Hewlett Packard and HCL-Hewlett Packard Ltd. was formed. The joint
developed multi-processor Unix for HP and heralded HCL's entry into contract R&D. In 1997, HCL
Infosystems was formed. In the same year HCL ventured into software services. In 1999, HCL
Technologies Ltd issued an IPO and became a public listed company. In 2001, HCL BPO was
incorporated and HCL Infosystems became the largest hardware company. In 2002, software
businesses of HCL Infosystems and HCL Technologies were merged. In 2005, HCL set up first
Power PC architecture design centre outside of IBM. In the same year HCL Infosystems launched
sub Rs.10,000 PC. In 2006, HCL Infosystems became the first company in India to launch the New
Generation of High Performance Server Platforms Powered by.

1. What is Telecommunication?
Telecommunication is the transmission of messages, over significant distances, for the purpose of
communication. In modern times, this process almost always involves the sending of
electromagnetic waves by electronic transmitters but in earlier years it may have involved the use of
smoke signals, drums or semaphore.

Basic Elements

A basic telecommunication system consists of three primary units that are always present in some
form:

 A transmitter that takes information and converts it to a signal.

 A transmission media, also called the "physical channel" that carries the signal. An example
of this is the "free space channel".

 Receivers that take the signal from the channel and convert it back into usable information.

Making a phone call

What do you do to make a phone call? You pick up the phone, dial some digits, and wait for the
person you called to pick up their ringing phone, and then you begin your conversation. To most
phone users the details and intricacies of how the phone call occurs are transparent. We have a
simplistic view of our phone connection as:

Figure a. Simplistic View of a Phone Call

But typically, our phone system looks more intricate than this, and really looks like this:

A complex network of local, national, and international phone companies and carriers may provide
the intermediate devices that handle our phone connection.

2. Primary Rate Interface

The primary Rate Interface (PRI) is a standardized telecommunication service level within the
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) specification for carrying multiple DS0voice and data
transmissions between a network and a user.

PRI is the standard for providing telecommunication services to offices. It is based on the T carrier
(T1) line in the US, and the E-carrier (E1) line in Europe. The T1 line consists of 24 channels, while
an E1 has 32 channels.

PRI provides a varying number of channels depending on the standards in the country of
implementation. In North America and Japan it consists of 23xB (B channel) and 1xD (D channel)
(23 64-kbit/s digital channels + 1 64-kbit/s signaling/control channel) on a T1 (1.544 Mbit/s). In
Europe and Australia it is 30xB + 1xD on an E1 2.048 Mbps. One timeslot on the E1 is used for
synchronization purposes and is not considered to be a B or D channel.

The Primary Rate Interface consists of 23 B-channels and one 64-kbit/s D-channel using a T1 line
or 30 B-channels and one D-channel using an E1 line.

Larger connections are possible using PRI pairing. A dual PRI could have 24+23= 47 B-channels
and 1 D-channel but more commonly has 46 B-channels and 2 D-channels thus providing a backup
signaling channel. The concept applies to E1s as well and both can include more than 2 PRIs.
Normally, no more than 2 D-channels are provisioned as additional PRIs are added to the group.

Application

The Primary Rate Interface channels are typically used by medium to large enterprises with digital
PBXs to provide them digital access to the Public Switched Telephone Networks (PSTN). The 23
(or 30) B-channels can be used flexibly and reassigned when necessary to meet special needs
such as video conferences. The Primary Rate user is hooked up directly to the telephone company
central office
 T-carrier systems

The T-carrier system, introduced by the Bell System in the U.S. in the 1960s, was the first
successful system that supported digitized voice transmission.

A T1 line in which each channel serves a different application is known as integrated T1 or

channelized T1. Another commonly installed service is a fractional T1, which is the rental of
some portion of the 24 channels in a T1 line, with the other channels going unused.

In the T1 system, voice or other analog signals are sampled 8,000 times a second and each
sample is digitized into an 8-bit word. With 24 channels being digitized at the same time, a 192-
bit frame (24 channels each with an 8-bit word) is thus being transmitted 8,000 times a second.
Each frame is separated from the next by a single bit, making a 193-bit block. The 192 bit frame
multiplied by 8,000 and the additional 8,000 framing bits make up the T1's 1.544 Mbps data
rate. The signaling bits are the least significant bits in each frame.

DS4 274.176 Mbps 168 T-1 4032 Channels

 E-Carrier Systems

E-carrier system, which is revised and improved version of the earlier American T-carrier
technology. Now it is widely used in almost all countries outside USA, Canada and Japan. The
line data rate for E1 is 2.048 Mbit/s which is split into 32 time slots, each being allocated 8 bits
in turn. It is an ideal for voice traffic because voice is sampled at the same 8 kHz rate so E1 line
can carry 32 simultaneous voice conversions.

Calculation
We often hear of T1 speed as 1.544 Mbits/second or 1,544,000 bits/second. This is determined

by:

Sampling at 8000 times/second x each sample is 8 bits =

 64000 bits/second x 24 timeslots per frame

___________________________________

1,536,000 bits/second

+ 8000 bits/second of framing bits

____________________________

1,544,000 bits/second (1.54 Mbps)

 D Channel
D channel is a telecommunication term which refers to the ISDN channel in which the control and
signaling information is carried.

The bit rate of the D channel of a basic rate interface is 16 Kbit/s, whereas it amounts to 64 Kbit/s
on a primary rate interface.
 B Channel

B channel is a telecommunication term which refers to the ISDN channel in which the primary data
or voice communication is carried. It has a bit rate of 64 Kbit/s in full duplex.

The term is applied primarily in relation to the ISDN access interfaces, since deeper in the PSTN
network an ISDN bearer channel is essentially indistinguishable from any other bearer channel

 Signaling

In telecommunication, signaling has the following meanings:

a. The use of signals for controlling communications.

b. The information exchange concerning the establishment and control of a
telecommunication circuit and the management of the network, in contrast to user
information transfer.
c. The sending of a signal from the transmitting end of a telecommunication circuit to
inform a user at the receiving end that a messages to be sent.

The signaling is divided into two main parts named as:

I. Channel Associated Signaling(CAS)

II. Common Channel Signaling(CCS)

Channel Associated Signaling

Channel Associated Signaling (CAS), also known as per-trunk signaling (PTS), is a form of digital
communication signaling. As with most telecommunication signaling methods, it uses routing
information to direct the payload of voice or data to its destination. With CAS signaling, this routing
information is encoded and transmitted in the same channel as the payload itself. This information
can be transmitted in the same band (in-band signaling) or a separate band (out-of-band signaling)
to the payload.

CAS potentially results in lower available bandwidth for the payload. For example, in the PSTN the
use of out-of-band signaling within a fixed bandwidth reduces a 64 Kbit/s DS0 to 56 Kbit/s.

Various types of CAS signaling are available in the T1 world. The most common forms of CAS
signaling are loop start, ground start, and E&M signaling. The biggest disadvantage of CAS
signaling is that the network uses bits from information IP packets, such as voice packets, to
perform signaling functions.

The most common implementation of CAS is robbed bit signaling.

Common Channel Signaling

Common channel signaling (CCS) is signaling (for example, in a T-carrier system line) in which a
group of voice-and-data channels share a separate channel that is used only for control signals.

CCS offers the following advantages over CAS:-

a. Faster call setup.

b. No interference between signaling tones by network and frequency of human speech pattern.

c. Greater trunking efficiency due to the quicker set up and tears down, thereby reducing traffic
on the network.

d. No security issues related to the use of in-band signaling with CAS.

e. CCS allows the transfer of additional information along with the signaling traffic providing
features such as caller ID.

f. The most common CCS signaling methods in use today are ISDN and SS7.

3. Anatomy of an Office Phone Call

When a phone call is made between two corporate phone users Mr. Naveen (Ext-3605) and Mr.
Nakul (Ext-3690), for example the call is made by Mr. Nakul to Mr. Naveen, and then the phone
connects directly to the PBX with a dedicated pair of wires. This pair of wires is called the
subscriber or local loop. One wire is called the Tip and the other wire, the Ring. The figure is
shown as below:

Let us see what happens when Mr. Nakul picks up his phone to call Mr. Naveen.

 Onhook
Before Mr. Nakul or Mr. Naveen picks up their phone, both phones are onhook, which means that
the phone handset is not lifted off the phone. The PBX provides power and potential across each
subscriber loop to monitor the activity and power of each phone. When the phone is onhook, there
is no current flow through the subscriber loop. See the figure:-

 Offhook

When Mr. Nakul lifts the phone handset, the phone is now offhook. A switch hook within the phone
closes and current flows through the subscriber loop. The current flow tells the PBX that Mr. Nakul
wishes to place a call. See the figure:-

 Dial Tone

At this point, the PBX:

• Searches for an unused dial register to store the dialed phone number digits.

• Sends a dial tone through the subscriber loop to Mr. Nakul’ phone. Once Mr. Nakul hears the dial
tone he can begin to dials the digits, 3605. These digits are sent over the subscriber loop to the
PBX dial register. (See the Figure below)
 Ringing Voltage

The PBX looks in its routing table and recognizes that extensions 3605 is a local number and exist
on another subscriber loop. The PBX sends a ringing voltage across the subscriber loop to ring the
bell within 3605 phone. (See the figure below)

 Call Completion

Once Mr. Naveen lifts up the phone handset, current flows through the subscriber loop and the
circuit is complete for the call. Mr. Nakul and Mrs. Naveen can begin talking and their speech is
carried over the subscriber loop as an electric signal. (See the figure below)

Components of the Phone System

The Main Components of the phone System are:-

• The phone

• The PBX

• The subscriber loop

• The trunk lines

 The Phone

The phone is an analog device that carries our speech as an electric signal. To make this occur, all
phones have the basic components shown in Figure
Handset
The handset contains a receiver, transmitter, and hybrid.

Receiver and Transmitter

The handset houses the earpiece or receiver and the mouthpiece or transmitter.
We speak into the mouthpiece and our speech is transmitted over a pair of wires.

We listen through the earpiece or receiver and receive sound over another pair of wires. In total,
four wires make up the handset.

Hybrid
The handset also contains a device known as the hybrid. As we learned earlier, the phone connects
to the PBX using a dedicated pair of wires, the subscriber loop. The phone receiver/transmitter,
however, has four wires. In order to interface between the receiver/transmitter that has four wires
and the PBX which uses two-wire, a hybrid is needed. Figure illustrates an example of a hybrid.

Switch Hook

The switch hook is located directly below the handset. When you lift the handset, the switch hook
closes and current flows through the phone. The phone is offhook. The PBX supplies power to
operate the phone. When you replace the handset, the switch hook opens and current ceases to
flow through the phone. The phone is onhook.

Ringer
When a PBX wants to alert a remote phone of an inbound call, it rings the remote phone by sending
ringing voltage down the subscriber loop. The ringing voltage causes an armature within the phone
to pivot. The armature in turn drives a hammer against a bell, which causes ringing.

 The PBX

A private branch exchange (PBX) is a telephone exchange that serves a particular business or
office, as opposed to one that a common carrier or telephone company operates for many
businesses or for the general public. PBXs are also referred to as:

PABX - private automatic branch exchange

EPABX - electronic private automatic branch exchange

PBX functions

Functionally, the PBX performs four main call processing duties:

 Establishing connections (circuits) between the telephone sets of two users (e.g. mapping a
dialed number to a physical phone, ensuring the phone isn't already busy)
 Maintaining such connections as long as the users require them (i.e. channeling voice signals
between the users)
 disconnecting those connections as per the user's requirement
 Providing information for accounting purposes (e.g. metering calls)

In addition to these basic functions, PBXs offer many other calling features and capabilities, with
different manufacturers providing different features in an effort to differentiate their products.
Common capabilities include (manufacturers may have a different name for each capability):

 Auto attendant
 Auto Dialing
 Automatic call distributor
 Automated directory services (where callers can be routed to a given employee by keying or
speaking the letters of the employee's name)
 Automatic ring back
 Call accounting
 Call Blocking
 Call forwarding on busy or absence
 Call park
 Call pick-up
 Call transfer
 Call waiting
 Camp-on
 Conference call
 Custom greetings
 Customized Abbreviated dialing
 Busy Override
 Direct Inward Dialing
 Direct Inward System Access (DISA) (the ability to access internal features from an outside
telephone line)
 Do not disturb (DND)

 Follow-me, also known as find-me: Determines the routing of incoming calls. The exchange
is configured with a list of numbers for a person. When a call is received for that person, the
exchange routes it to each number on the list in turn until either the call is answered or the
list is exhausted (at which point the call may be routed to a voice mail system).
 Interactive voice response
 Music on hold
 Night service
 Shared message boxes (where a department can have a shared voicemail box)
 Voice mail
 Voice message broadcasting
 Voice paging (PA system)
 Welcome Message
Subscriber Loop
The subscriber loop is a dedicated pair of wires that connect the phone to the PBX. Each phone
connected to the PBX has its own subscriber loop.

The subscriber loop consists of two wires known as, Tip and Ring. As shown in

Figure, the Ring lead connects to the negative side of the battery; the Tip lead connects to
ground. When the circuit is complete, current flows. The current flow is shown by the dashed loop.

Trunk Line

Trunk lines connect one PBX to another PBX, or a trunk line can connect the PBX to the outside
world, the public phone network. There can be many trunk lines between two PBXs and these trunk
lines are usually shared. The number of trunk lines available will depend on the number of phones
connected to each PBX. Trunk lines are shared because it is assumed that the phone users will not
all simultaneously try to make a call at the same time. This means that when a call is made, the
PBX seizes and uses one trunk line. Upon completion of the call, the PBX releases the trunk line
and it is available for use by another call.

Types of trunk lines

There are two types of trunk lines, two-wire and four-wire.

Two-wire Circuits

Two-wire trunk lines are usually used to connect PBXs at distances of up to several thousand feet.
The exact distance between two PBXs will depend on the thickness or gauge of the wire used. The
thicker the gauge, the longer the distance. However, as distance increases the signal quality
decreases until the receiver cannot recognize the signal. In this situation, amplifiers are needed to
amplify the signal. Since amplifiers work in only one direction, the voice is separated into different
paths: one for transmit and one for receive.
Four-Wire Circuits

Four wire trunk lines are used for most high-volume, long distance lines. A four-wire phone line
circuit uses two wires for the transmit path and two wires for the receive path. Voice and signals are
transmitted on the Tip and Ring and received on the Tip1 and Ring1.

If a PBX connects to a four-wire circuit, a hybrid is needed. The phone connects to

The PBX over the two-wire subscriber loop and in order to interface with the four wire trunk line, the
PBX uses a hybrid to provide the conversion as shown in Figure.

Some of the common trunk lines are:

Tie Trunks
Tie trunks connect one PBX to another PBX. Tie trunk are either two-wire or four-wire.

Central Office (CO) Trunk

A CO trunk connects the PBX to a local Central Office (CO). The local CO is part of the local phone
company. This type of trunk line allows calls to go from a private network to a public network.

Foreign Exchange Station (FXS) Trunk

A typical FXS trunk consists of a subscriber trunk connected directly to a distant CO or a PBX. This
service can be leased to avoid long distance charges to a distant CO. The subscriber dials a local
exchange number. FXS trunks provide the convenience of a seven-digit number plus service to a
distant location at a reduced cost.

Direct Inward Dialing (DID)

 Direct Inward Dialing (DID) trunks allow a caller to dial into a PBX directly to a phone or a group of
phones without operator intervention. DID typically use two-wire trunks. In DID, an outside caller
dials the number of the desired phone extension, which the connecting CO passes to the PBX.

Direct Outward Dialing (DOD)

With DOD, the extension phone user automatically accesses the local CO without operator
intervention. You typically dial “9” and then the outside number.

Wide Area Phone Services (WATS)

Inward WATS and Outward WATS let users either receive or originate long distance calls and have
them billed at a bulk rate rather than individually. Inward WATS calls are billed to the called number;
outward WATS is billed to the calling party.

Signaling

Signaling is important because it is how phone system components communicate and exchange
information.
This is a signal to the phone and the user that the PBX is ready to receive
dialed numbers. Dialing numbers on a phone keypad is another example of
signaling.
There are three signaling types and each provides particular information about a voice call:

Signaling Types Function

Supervisory Supervisory signaling provides on the subscriber loop and trunk status.

Address Address signaling is how the phone system directs or routes a call to the call destination.

Informational Informational signaling tells the phone user or subscribers about call progress.
Methods of Address Signaling
There are two types of address signaling methods:
• Dial pulse. This is associated with rotary dial phones.
• Dual Tone Multifrequency (DTMF) signaling, most often supported on a
pushbutton phone.

Informational Signaling
Informational signals are generated by the PBX or switch to tell the user about the
call’s progress. There are different types of informational signals; the common types
include:
• busy signal
• fast busy
• dial tone
• ring back

Supervisory Signaling
Supervisory signaling monitors the status of a line or trunk, which is either idle
(onhook) or active (offhook). Supervisory signaling types include the following:
• Loopstart
• Ground Start
• E&M

4. The Telephone Set

 TDM phones

 VoIP phones

TDM Phones

Time-division multiplexing (TDM) is a type of digital or (rarely) analog multiplexing in which two or
more signals or bit streams are transferred apparently simultaneously as sub-channels in one
communication channel, but are physically taking turns on the channel. The time domain is divided
into several recurrent timeslots of fixed length, one for each sub-channel. A sample byte or data
block of sub-channel 1 is transmitted during timeslot 1, sub-channel 2 during timeslot 2, etc. One
TDM frame consists of one timeslot per sub-channel. After the last sub-channel the cycle starts all
over again with a new frame, starting with the second sample, byte or data block from sub-channel
1, etc.
VoIP phones

Voice over IP (VoIP) is a general term for a family of transmission technologies for delivery of voice
communications over IP networks such as the Internet or other packet-switched networks. Other
terms frequently encountered and synonymous with VoIP are IP telephony, Internet telephony,
voice over broadband (VoBB), broadband telephony, and broadband phone.

Internet telephony refers to communications services — voice, facsimile, and/or voice-messaging

applications — that are transported via the Internet, rather than the public switched telephone
network (PSTN). The basic steps involved in originating an Internet telephone call are conversion of
the analog voice signal to digital format and compression/translation of the signal into Internet
protocol (IP) packets for transmission over the Internet; the process is reversed at the receiving
end.[1]

VoIP systems employ session control protocols to control the set-up and tear-down of calls as well
as audio codecs which encode speech allowing transmission over an IP network as digital audio via
an audio stream. Codec use is varied between different implementations of VoIP (and often a range
of codecs are used); some implementations rely on narrowband and compressed speech, while
others support high fidelity stereo codecs.
Benefits

Operational cost

VoIP can be a benefit for reducing communication and infrastructure costs. Examples include:

 Routing phone calls over existing data networks to avoid the need for separate voice and
data networks.[24]
 Conference calling, IVR, call forwarding, automatic redial, and caller ID features that
traditional telecommunication companies (telcos) normally charge extra for are available
free of charge from open source VoIP implementations.
 Costs are lower, mainly because of the way Internet access is billed compared to regular
telephone calls. While regular telephone calls are billed by the minute or second, VoIP calls
are billed per megabyte (MB). In other words, VoIP calls are billed per amount of information
(data) sent over the Internet and not according to the time connected to the telephone
network. In practice the amount charged for the data transferred in a given period is far less
than that charged for the amount of time connected on a regular telephone line.

Flexibility

VoIP can facilitate tasks and provide services that may be more difficult to implement using the
PSTN. Examples include:

 The ability to transmit more than one telephone call over a single broadband connection without
the need to add extra lines.
 Secure calls using standardized protocols (such as Secure Real-time Transport Protocol). Most
of the difficulties of creating a secure telephone connection over traditional phone lines, such as
digitizing and digital transmission, are already in place with VoIP. It is only necessary to encrypt
and authenticate the existing data stream.[26]
 Location independence. Only a sufficiently fast and stable Internet connection is needed to get a
connection from anywhere to a VoIP provider.
 Integration with other services available over the Internet, including video conversation,
message or data file exchange during the conversation, audio conferencing, managing address
books, and passing information about whether other people are available to interested parties.
5. System architecture
 Meridian

Nortel Meridian is a private branch exchange. It provides advanced voice features, data
connectivity, LAN communications, computer telephony integration (CTI), and information
services for communication applications ranging from 60 to 80,000 lines.

The Meridian has 43 Million installed users worldwide, making it the most widely used PBX.

The Meridian is one of the few PBX's still available from a major communications supplier that
can be configured as non-VOIP PBX.

Hardware architecture

A Meridian 1 is a circuit-switched digital system that provides voice and data transmission. The
internal hardware is divided into the following functional areas (see Figure 11):

• Common equipment circuit cards provide the processor control, software execution, and memory
functions of the system.

• Network interface circuit cards perform switching functions between the processor and peripheral
equipment cards.

• Peripheral equipment circuit cards provide the interface between the network and connected
devices, including terminal equipment and trunks.

• Terminal equipment includes telephones and attendant consoles (and may include equipment
such as data terminals, printers, and modems).

• Power equipment provides the electrical voltages required for system operation, and cooling and
sensor equipment for system protection.
The Meridian 1 product line consists of system types referred to as system Options. A system
option is made up of Universal Equipment Modules (UEMs) stacked one on top of another to form a
column. Each column contains a pedestal, a top cap, and up to four modules. A system can have
one column or multiple columns.

Each UEM is a self-contained unit that, when equipped, houses a card cage and backplane, power
and ground cabling, power units, I/O panels, circuit cards, and cables. When the card cage is
installed, the function of the UEM is established and the module is no longer “universal.” Meridian 1
module is as follows:

• NT5K11 Enhanced Existing Peripheral Equipment Module for Options51C, 61C, and 81C.

• NT4N41DA PCI® Core/Network Module for Option 81C

• NT5D21 Core/Network Module for Options 51C, and 61C

6. System modules
Each type of module is available in AC-powered and DC-powered versions (except theNT8D36
InterGroup module that does not require power). AC-power modules generally require a module
power distribution unit (MPDU) to provide circuit breakers for the power supplies. DC-powered
modules do not require an MPDU because a switch on each power supply performs the same
function as the MPDU circuit breakers.
.
NT4N41 Core/Network module
This module provides common control and network interface functions. With the CS 1000M MG and
the Meridian 1 PBX 81C CP PIV, two Core/Net modules are installed side-by-side. With the CS
1000M SG and the Meridian 1 PBX 61C CP PIV, the modules are stacked or mounted side-by-side.

One section of this module houses the common control complex (CPU, memory, up to four cCNI
cards, and mass storage functions). The other section supports a Conference card, one Peripheral
Signaling card, one 3-Port Extender card, and optional network cards.

Each Core/Network module houses up to four NT8D04 Superloop Network Cards for a total of 16
network loops. Superloop Network cards are cabled to the backplane of an IPE module. In a typical
configuration, one conference/TDS card is configured in the module, leaving 14 voice/data loops
available.
 Core side
The Core side of the module contains the circuit cards that process calls, manage network
resources, store system memory, maintain the user database, and monitor the system. These
circuit cards also provide administration interfaces through a terminal, modem, or enterprise IP
network.

The Core side runs in redundant mode: one Core operates the system while the other runs
diagnostic checks and remains ready to take over if the active Core fails. Both Cores are connected
to each Network group depending on hardware configuration. If one Core fails, the second Core
immediately takes over call processing. The Core shelf backplane is a compact PCI data bus.
 Network side
The Network side of this module contains the cards for half of the Network group 0. The other half
of Network group 0 resides in the second core network module.

The CS 1000M MG and Meridian 1 PBX 81C CP PIV support a Fiber Network Fabric network
system with a FIJI card in slots 8 and 9 on the Net side of the Core/Net module.

NT4N41 cPCI Core/Network module

NT8D35 Network module

This module provides the network switching functions in the Meridian 1 Option 81C, Meridian 1 PBX
81C CP PIV, and CS 1000M MG. Two Network modules are required to make a full network group
of 32 loops. A maximum of 16 Network modules (eight network groups) can be configured in the
Meridian 1 Option 81C, CS 1000M MG, and Meridian 1 PBX 81C CP PIV.

The Network module houses up to four NT8D04 Superloop Network Cards, for a total of 16 network
loops. Superloop network cards are cabled to the backplane of an IPE module. In a typical
configuration, one Conference/TDS card is configured in the module, leaving 14 voice/data loops
available. In CS 1000M MG and Meridian 1 PBX 81C CP PIV, the Conference/TDS cards are
located in the Core/Network module. The Clock Controller must be installed in slot 13.
Figure
NT8D35 Network module

The Network module can be used as a PRI/DTI expansion module. The number of PRI/DTI
expansion modules that can be used is determined by traffic considerations.

NT8D37 Intelligent Peripheral Equipment module
The Intelligent Peripheral Equipment (IPE) module provides the interface between network
switching and IPE cards, such as intelligent line and trunk cards, in all Large Systems.

The IPE module houses one NT8D01 Controller Card, which is the peripheral equipment controller,
and up to 16 IPE cards, supporting up to 512 terminal numbers (256 voice and 256 data). The
controller card is cabled to the NT8D04 Superloop Network Card.

Figure
NT8D37 IPE module

 Fiber Remote IPE module

This module provides fiber-optic links between the network functions in a Large System and the
peripheral controller functions in the Fiber Remote IPE. A floor-standing column or wall-mounted
cabinet is installed at the remote site and is connected to the Large System using fiber-optic links.
The Fiber Remote IPE provides Large Systems functionality with the installation of only IPE
modules and IPE cards at a distant site. Since the remote IPE system uses the common equipment
and network equipment of the associated local Large System, it can deliver the same features and
functionality as the local system. Large Systems can be configured in a distributed system to
support remote subscribers, using Remote IPE modules or small cabinets. Fiber-optic links are
used to connect the Remote IPE modules and small cabinets to the PBXs.
Figure
Large System to Remote IPE site

 Carrier Remote IPE

The Carrier Remote IPE provides functionality by installing only IPE modules and IPE cards at a
distant site. The Remote IPE shares the system common and network equipment to provide the
same functions and features to remote subscribers that are available to local system subscribers.
Figure
Meridian 1 Large System to Carrier Remote IPE links
Terminal equipment
Large Systems support a wide range of telephones, including multiple-line and single-line
telephones, as well as digital telephones with key and display functions and data transmission
capabilities. A range of options for attendant call processing and message center applications is
also available. In addition, a number of add-on devices are available to extend and enhance
the features of telephones and consoles. Add-on devices include key/lamp modules, lamp field
arrays, handsets, and hands free units.

Signaling Server
CS 1000M systems use a Signaling Server. The Signaling Server is an PC-based server that
provides a central processor to drive H.323 and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) signaling for IP
Phones and IP Peer Networking. It provides signaling interfaces to the IP network using software
components that operate on the VxWorksª real-time operating system. The legacy Nortel ISP1100
Signaling Server can still be used. CS 1000 Release 5.5 introduces three new servers that can host
a CS 1000 Release 5.5 Signaling Server:
• "Nortel Common Processor Pentium Mobile server"
• "International Business Machines X306m server"
• "Hewlett Packard DL320-G4 server"

The Signaling Server has both an ELAN and TLAN network interface. The Signaling Server
communicates with the Call Server through an ELAN subnet.

The Signaling Server is mounted in a 19-inch rack. The Signaling Server can be installed in a load-
sharing redundant configuration for higher scalability and reliability.

The following software components operate on the Signaling Server:

• "Terminal Proxy Server” (TPS)
• "SIP/H.323 Signaling Gateways"
• "Network Routing Service" (NRS)
• "Element Manager"
• Application Server

All the software elements can coexist on one Signaling Server or reside individually on separate
Signaling Servers, depending on traffic and redundancy requirements for each element.

Terminal Proxy Server
The Terminal Proxy Server (TPS) acts as a signaling gateway between the
IP Phones and the Call Server using the UNIStim protocol. It performs the following functions:
• converts the IP Phone UNIStim messages into messages the Call Server can interpret.
• allows IP Phones to access telephony features provided by the CallServer.

SIP/H.323 Signaling Gateways

SIP/H.323 Signaling Gateways are software components configured on virtual loops, similar to IP
Phones. They bridge existing call processing features and the IP network. They also enable access
to the routing and features in the MCDN feature set.To support IP Peer Networking, dual Call
Servers in a CS 1000M must be associated with Signaling Servers that run SIP/H.323 Signaling
Gateway software. The number of Signaling Servers required depends on thecapacity and level of
redundancy required.

Network Routing Service

NRS for CS 1000 Release 5.5 software is offered in two versions: a SIP Redirect Server NRS and a
SIP Proxy NRS. The SIP Redirect Server NRS is hosted either co-resident with Signaling Server
applications, or in a stand-alone mode on a dedicated Common Processor Pentium Mobile (CP PM)
server running the VxWorks™ real-time operating system. There are no changes to the SIP
Redirect Server NRS in CS 1000 Release 5.5.

The SIP Proxy NRS is hosted in a stand-alone mode on a dedicated commercial off the shelf server
running the Linux™ real-time operating system. The SIP Proxy NRS is referred to as the Linux-
based NRS.

The NRS application provides network-based routing, combining the following into a single
application:

• H.323 Gatekeeper — The H.323 Gatekeeper provides central dialing plan management and
routing for H.323-based endpoints and gateways.

• SIP Redirect Server—The SIP Redirect Server provides central dialing plan management and
routing for SIP-based endpoints and gateways.

• NRS Database — The NRS database stores the central dialing plan in XML format for both the
SIP Redirect Server and the H.323 Gatekeeper. The SIP Redirect Server and H.323 Gatekeeper
both access this common endpoint and gateway database.

• Network Connect Server (NCS) — The NCS is used only for Virtual Office, Branch Office, and
Geographic Redundancy solutions.

• NRS Manager web interface — The NRS provides its own web interface to configure the SIP
Redirect Server, the H.323 Gatekeeper, and the NCS.
The NRS application provides routing services to both H.323 and SIP-compliant devices. The H.323
Gatekeeper can be configured to support H.323 routing services, while the SIP Redirect Server can
be configured to support SIP routing services.

The H.323 Gatekeeper and the SIP Redirect Server can reside on the same Signaling Server.
Examples of H.323 and SIP-compatible endpoints needing the services of the NRS are CS 1000E.
The NRS also supports endpoints that do not support H.323 Registration, Admission, and Status
(RAS) or SIP registration with the NRS. Gatekeeper procedures are referred to as non-RAS or
static endpoints. Each CS 1000E in an IP Peer network must register to the NRS. The NRS
software identifies the IP addresses of PBXs based on the network-wide numbering plan. NRS
registration eliminates the need for manual configuration of IP addresses and numbering plan
information at every site.
