The UMG8900 supports the modifying and handover of bearer resources to satisfy the
demands for service streams conversion and different networks interconnection.
The UMG8900 provides highly mobility by supporting IP/ATM/TDM bearer resources,
voice codecs conversion, and the modifying and handover of internal bearer channels.
The device supports the following handover:
z Inter-exchange, intra-exchange and subsequent handover for UMTS networks
z Inter-exchange, intra-exchange and subsequent handover for GSM networks
z Inter-exchange and subsequent handover from UMTS to GSM networks
z Inter-exchange and subsequent handover from GSM to UMTS networks
3.2.7 TrFO/TFO
The UMG8900 supports TransCode Free operation (TrFO) and TFO of a UMTS
network to improve voice quality.
TrFO: TransCode Free operation. It improves voice quality because no TransCoder
(TC) exists in any physical path, and codecs conversion and other TC related
operations are all unnecessary. This function is defined in 3GPP R4 specifications.
TFO: TransCode Free operation. It is configured for the TCs both supporting TFO. If the
codec types of two TCs are matched, this function enables in-band negotiation about
codec selection instead of codecs conversion, thus improving voice quality. This
function is defined in 3GPP R99 and GSM specifications.

HUAWEI UMG8900 Universal Media Gateway Applications
In this networking mode, the combination of the UMG8900 and the MSOFTX300,
viewed from the outside angle, functions as one device and provides external
interfaces. Within the core network, they are connected by internal interfaces or
standard Mc interfaces.
In a GSM network, TDM connections exist between MSC devices in the core network,
between the MSC of the core network and the BSC of the access network, and
between the access network and PSTN.
In the case of the UMG8900 and MSOFTX300 serving as a gateway exchange, the
UMG8900 accesses voice streams from external networks such as PSTN through
TDM interfaces. For signaling, it is sent to the MSOFTX3000 by an independent
signaling gateway, though direct connections to the MSOFTX3000 or by the signaling
gateway built in the UMG8900. The following provides details on voice services and
signaling interaction:
z For the voice streams from an access network, the UMG8900 forwards them to
the core network in TDM mode. For the voice streams in a core network, they can
be transmitted between devices within the core network through the existing TDM
network or Voice over IP (VoIP) functions of the UMG8900.
z The BSSAP call control signaling from the access network can be sent to the
MSOFTX3000 directly through the connections to the MSOFTX3000, or be
forwarded to the MSOFTX3000 through the signaling gateway function built in the
UMG8900 or through the TDM semi-permanent connections of the UMG8900.
z The signaling between MSC devices in the core network is exchanged based on
ISUP or TUP, over TDM links between MSOFTX3000s, through the signaling
gateway function built in the UMG8900 or over the TDM semi-permanent
connections of the UMG8900.
The UMG8900 provides all signaling gateway functions, by which the UMG8900 can
transfer the signaling from the access network and SS7 signaling from PSTN based on
M2UA and M3UA to the MSOFTX3000.
After GSM mobile networks evolves to UMTS R99 networks, the connection modes
and service types in an access network change a lot, but in core networks the
combination of the UMG8900 and the MSOFTX3000 is still used in the CS domain
serving as (G)MSC, as shown in Figure 3-2.

In UMTS R99 networks, the access and core networks are connected by ATM
connections through lu interfaces. The user plane (UP) transmits voice and
narrowband data based on lu UP, and the control plane (CP) transmits call control
messages based on lu CP. TDM connections exist between MSC devices in the core
network, and between the core network and PSTN.
The UMG8900 and MSOFTX3000 function as one (G)MSC in the core network. The
UMG8900 can communicate with the MSOFTX3000 either through internal interfaces
or through standard H.248 messages.
In this networking mode, the UMG8900 accesses service flows through Iu interfaces.
The control signaling from an access network can reach the MSOFTX3000 directly or
be forwarded to the MSOFTX3000 through the signaling gateway function built in the
UMG8900.
Between MSC devices in the core network or between the core network GMSC and
PSTN, voice services are accessed by the UMG8900, and signaling is transferred to
the MSOFTX3000 by the UMG8900 embedded signaling gateway or semi-permanent
connections.
For the signaling of the access network, the UMG8900 adapts it based on MTP3B and
M3UA. For the signaling between MSC devices or between the core network and
PSTN, the UMG8900 adapts it based on M2UA and M3UA.
As the UMG8900 is designed in BICC structure and supports TDM/IP/ATM bearer
modes, it can help the UMTS R99 network evolve into a UMTS R4/R5/R6 network
smoothly.
A UMTS R4 network is designed in the BICC structure so that new services can be
easily applied. The core network adopts packet bearer mode, which occupies less
bandwidth. Figure 3-3 shows a UMTS R4 network.

Compared with the UMTS R99 network, the UMTS R4 network has the same access
network, but different core network. The core network of the UMTS R4 employs packet
connections to connect MWG and (G)MSC Server, MGW and MGW through standard
Mc and Nb interfaces.
As the MGW in the UMTS R4 core network, the UMG8900 is responsible for service
bearer and bearer control of the CS domain.
The UMG8900 can also be applied to GMSC where it acts as a 3G gateway exchange
equipment to connect PSTN. Between the UMG8900 and the PSTN are connected in
TDM mode. The signaling proceeding between them is implemented either by the
signaling gateway embedded in the UMG8900 or an independent signaling gateway.
Interfaces in the UMTS R4 network are described in Table 3-1.

central management on all devices in the network. The iManager M2000 consists of
one iManager M2000 server and multiple iManager M2000 work stations.
With graphic user interfaces (GUI), the LMT offers the following functions:
z Device configuration and management
z Service maintenance
z Performance statistics
z Service tracing
z Security management
z Troubleshooting.
The LMT and the BAM of the OMU are connected in a standard client/server structure.
The BAM supports device management and provides external interfaces for
management. Because the BAM applies the industry-popular real-time and distribution
operation system, the service processing capability and response speed are greatly
improved.
The BAM connects and manages other functional units through the FAM.
The LMT provides friendly GUI and abundant online help information. At the LMT, you
can get information about command functions and parameter meaning any time, as
well as alarm meaning, handling suggestions and so on.
The LMT can manage multiple UMG8900 devices simultaneously. It provides external
alarm boxes to report alarms with voice and optical signals. It can also send short
messages to notify alarm information to maintenance technicians
To insure reliable connection between the LMT and the UMG8900, a dual planes
design is used, as shown in Figure 4-2.

The master and slave OMUs of the UMG8900 are both connected to the LAN Switch
through standard cables. The LMT system communicates with the UMG8900 host also
through the LAN Switch.
During communication, only the master OMU functions. When the master board fails,
the slave OMU becomes active and connects to the LMT. The master and slave OMUs
provide only one operation and maintenance center (OMC) interface for the outside.
Note:
The back NET accommodates the OMC interface so as to meet the requirement for
back cabling.
The system provides not only GUI but also MML commands for device operation and
maintenance. The MML commands can be used for data configuration, routine
operation and device maintenance.
MML is an interactive interface between machine and man, which is based on ITU
Z.301-Z.341 series. MML provides a set of commands to operate and query the
UMG8900. Using the MML commands, you can monitor and manage the UMG8900 in
all respects.
MML has the following features:

statistics and tracing results. The system dumps and backs up them in real time for fault
location and network upgrade use.
The function is to receive and deal with alarms. According to the alarm type and level,
the alarm terminal (for example, an alarm box or the alarm management system)
delivers the corresponding voice and optical signals, and sends the translated alarm
information to the network management.
In addition, the function also enables to save alarm information, display history alarm
records and set alarm processing way.
The function is to provide service tracing, signaling tracing, interface tracing and
message explanation.
It also performs real time tracing on service resources and interface protocols in terms
of process, status migration, resource occupation and control information flow. The
above information can be stored for fault locating and fixing purpose.
The function is to make statistics on calls to provide reference for device status analysis
and telecommunications network plan, design, and maintenance.

HUAWEI UMG8900 Universal Media Gateway Chapter 6 Installation
Chapter 6 Installation
Before delivery, the integrated device assembly is completed and internal cables are
already distributed. On the site the installer needs to fix the cabinet, install boards and
distribute external cables.
The cabinet can be placed on cement floor or anti-static floor. In the latter case, a rack
and a guide rail are needed.
All cables are led out from the rear of the cabinet and boards are hot swappable for the
convenience of expansion and board replacement. To make cable distribution easy, the
interfaces connecting external cables (such as power cables, transmission cables and
signal cables) are located at the cabinet top or bottom and marked with interface
silkscreens.
Bottom-layer software including the operating system and database software is already
loaded to the UMG8900 before delivery. Therefore, the device can operate after
hardware installation, loading of BAM applications and export of configuration data.
Such simple and convenient software and hardware installation largely shorten the
period before putting the device into use.
