ABC Network - Definition
A private telephone network

• Is the ability for users, located on different sites, to make telephone calls over
private leased lines and not over the public network
In a distributed
network mode
solution:
ABC network can support up to 100 nodes and
In a centralized 100,000 users including TDM, DECT and IP
network mode
solution: Using various geographic design topologies with
The Communication Server TDM or IP to utilize the Alcatel-Lucent
will be on the main site Business Communications (ABC)
With Satellite nodes located protocol
on remote sites
The ABC protocol is based on and is

compatible with ETSI QSIG standard
Major evolution about ABC networks with OXE Purple

information about legacy ABC links SAPI : Service Access Point Identifier
ABC Direct IP link = New way to interconnect OXE systems within an ABC-F sub-network
Goal: evolvability as well as simplify the management and the maintainability of network links
•Legacy hybrid links are complex with 2 sessions (ABC-F & H.323 signaling) to establish for each call and to keep synchronized
•No need of specific hardware: H.323 resources on IPMGs are no longer required
•Optimizations have been added as well to reduce as much as possible the allocation of a compressor during ringing stage

ABC hybrid IP link ABC direct IP link
(ABC-F signaling, saturated) (ABC-F signaling)
No mix between ABC direct links and ABC hybrid links (either hybrid links or TDM links) in a given ABC-F
sub-network
•In ABC direct IP link mode, all nodes of the sub-network are necessarily in R100.0 minimum
All nodes of an ABC-F sub-network must be able to communicate with the other nodes through an IP
network
ABC Direct IP link
Fully meshed topology

• When a node is added in direct link mode, its potential 99 links are automatically created (in inactive state)
• Adding an ABC direct IP link, operationally, means adding an access to the already existing link

Migration from ABC hybrid link mode to ABC direct IP link mode
• All nodes in R100.0, with IP connectivity between all nodes

• Only ABC Hybrid-IP links (one access with IP signaling, the others without sig.
• No stand-by signaling, no distributed trunks

IMPORTANT
Existing
•In OXE Purple R100.0, ‘ABC direct IP link’ is the default 25 channels
mode when creating a system. But ‘ABC hybrid link’ mode
is still available according to customer requirements Existing network migration to Direct Link mode: move the needs
•Direct Links, created by “Hybrid Link to Direct Link”
migration are by default added without encryption
•Encryption of the link must be managed manually

• No new software lock for ABC direct IP link
Monitoring by OmniVista 8770

• ABC direct IP links (with configured access(es)) are taken into account in the topology application
as of R5.0
• As for ABC hybrid link, accounted in traffic observation counters, but not in OXE SNMP MIB counters

Introduction
Passive Call Server

Understand the different reliability
solutions offered with the
Redundant Ethernet for Media Gateway OmniPCX Enterprise
circuit boards
Communication Server redundancy

Lesson Introduction
Different possibilities are available to make the OXE PBX reliable, options include:
• Passive Communication server
• Redundant Ethernet for Gateway boards
• Communication Server Redundancy

Passive Communication Server (PCS) _ Page 1 of 2
• Loss of Call Server

A feature of the • PCS will secure call handling for all Media Gateways
Communication Server when deployed on the central site
called Passive • An additional PCS can be deployed on each Branch
Office to secure each Media Gateway seperatly
Communication Server
can be used to provide a • IP link Breakdown between the remote sites and the Call
backup for telephony Servers
services in the event of: • WAN/LAN out of service
• IP links lost between central site and Media Gateways

Download • Passive Communication Server
Passive Call Server _ Page 2 of 2
Different types of PCS :

• Appliance server
• PCS-V software package dedicated to virtualized environnement
• Blade server
• Common Hardware with a dedicated embedded CS, or, a second CPU with Crystal Hardware
• The type of Hardware depends on the customer requirements and/or numbers of users,
number of gateways and the number of CCD agents that need to be secured
The PCS has:

• An attachment zone area
• Managed Zones : These are zones that the PCS will secure during main CS failure
Redundant Ethernet for Gateway boards
Two network interfaces can be used to provide a hot-standby service

• Two network interfaces for eth0 and eth1 available per board
Available on INTIP-3, IOIP3, GD-4 and GA-4 boards

• The Linux kernel includes a bonding driver
• Only one network slave interface in this bond will be active.
• The other network interface becomes active if and only if the active slave fails
• Compatibility status with Native encryption
Communication Server Redundancy
Call Server duplication can improve the system operation reliability. The second CS takes over
immediately, in the event of main CS failure
The redundant server may be:

•An external server
•A CPU
•A CS
Switch over will be done without service disruption

•Call handling duplication: telephone communications in active state stay active
•Real time duplication of database
Two mechanisms
•Com. Server redundancy with role addressing: both server in the same IP-sub-network
•Com. Server spatial redundancy in different IP subnet
Redundancy with virtualization
OXE redundancy
• It is recommended to deploy both VMs on different hardware platforms
• Both Call Servers must be running with the same technology
PCS-V : Passive Communication Server software package virtualized

• Can be proposed with either a physical OXE server or an OXE-V

Lesson Introduction
Security is not just a function implemented at a specific level. Efficient
security means taking all the different levels into account to address multiple
types of potential vulnerabilities. Security must be global and must adapt to
environment constraints
Network hacks, data breaches,

information theft, and other malicious
network attacks are on the rise:
33% increase in total cost of data

breach in 2 years
$154 is the average cost per lost or

stolen record

IP Centralization Introduction
IP Centralization is a program used to transform OmniPCX Enterprise and OmniPCX

4400 networked systems into a single centralized solution
The OmniPCX Office and OXO Connect can be transformed to be an IP media gateway
and can be connected to an existing OmniPCX Enterprise
The IP centralization program is a process that helps to define the following:

• The scope of the program
• The method to be applied
• The information to be collected
• Advice to help design the IP centralization project and identify possible impact problems
• ACTIS rules to configure and quote the IP Centralization of several systems
• Assistance to organize and manage both customer and end-user information
• The installation and deployment rules including OXE database management are also included
IP Centralization target
Installed Base Targeted solution

• OmniPCX Units with OXO Connect, OXE • One centralized OmniPCX Enterprise and
and 4400 several peripheral areas
Challenges solved by centralized IP Communication
Recurring maintenance and upgrade costs
Challenging roll-out of new policies
Challenge of up-front investments and operations
Go for IP communication
Cost Savings
Go for centralization
