    30. IP Routing (2xxx series) IP Quality of Services: Traffic classification, shaping and policing Time of day TOS and DiffServ labeling, IEEE 802.1p/Q WFQ, fixed priority and flow-split scheduler QoS in networking refers to the capability of the network to provide a better service to selected network traffic. The entire end-to-end path through the network must be QoS-aware to ensure the best possible service. When a unit acts as an access router and voice gateway, the access link is the point at which intelligent use of the scarce resources really makes a difference in preventing a bottleneck. WFQ = Weighted Fair Queue SAP = Service Access Point. For example, SAP could be used for a CRM system. The system contains two types of queue - the Fixed Priority (FP) queue and Weighted Fair Queue (WFQ). The fixed priority queue serves voice (and other time-critical) services and the weighted fair queue serves the LAN and any other services which are less sensitive to delay. The FP scheduler ensures that the FP queue is served until it is empty. It then allows the WFQ scheduler to serve its queues until another packet is detected in the FP queue. This is an extremely effective way of supporting the jitter and latency requirements of interactive voice traffic. However effective this process may be, it is not sufficient just to ensure compliance in the access network alone. The units also help to ensure that traffic is given the right priority elsewhere in the network by providing network policy compliant labelling of packets (ex: TOS, DiffServ) to complement the priority they have been accorded within the unit.

    38. Service Provider Applications The Background For large-scale IP telephony deployments to Multi-Tenant Units (MTUs) or Multi-Dwelling Units (MDUs), service providers must take into account the telephony and wiring infrastructure already present in building complexes. Removing and discarding such wiring and equipment has a high cost associated to it that service providers would like to avoid. The need is to provide IP telephony to MTUs/MDUs using the existing wiring and legacy phones and faxes, in order to minimize costs, and render the VoIP migration transparent to end-users. The present scenario sees a service provider and MTU/MDU building complexes that need to be connected to a service providers IP infrastructure. The Solution Mediatrix 1124 access devices constitute the ideal solution to connect MTUs/MDUs to a service providers IP infrastructure, using the existing telephony and wiring infrastructure of a building complex. In this scenario, Mediatrix units are registered with the service providers softswitch that processes calls and requests to an application platform and a trunking gateway. At the end-user premises, Mediatrix 1124 access devices are installed in wiring closet installations and use existing cables, wires, analog phones and fax machines to deploy the service providers IP telephony services. This brings additional cost savings and further facilitates network migration. In addition, end-users retain their existing analog devices and the presence of IP-based PBX or Key systems or IP Phones is not a requirement. Thus end-users migrate to IP telephony in a simple and transparent way without the introduction of new equipment requiring training and adjustments in user habits, which and temporarily affects productivity. The Benefits - Investment protected in legacy phones and faxes. - Cost-effective migration to VoIP. - Transparent implementation of VoIP benefits. - No significant changes in user habits. - End-user access to high-value IP services. Note: The call scenarios mentioned above are in direct relation to the capabilities, specifications and configuration options of the Telephony Server, Softswitch, IP-PBX, PBX and KTS where applicable.

    39. Service Provider Applications The Background Many enterprises are unwilling to discard their existing base of analog phones in favour of IP Phones, in order to protect their investment and maintain existing user habits. Yet they wish to have access to IP Centrex services to avoid the costs and maintenance fees associated with having their own legacy or IP PBX. Service providers offering IP Centrex services have a need to extend their revenue-generating services to such customers, by leveraging the existing base of legacy phones. The present scenario sees a service provider and end-user premises with legacy phones that need to be connected to IP Centrex services. The Solution Mediatrix units constitute the ideal solution to connect legacy phones and PSTN lines to a service providers IP Centrex services. In this scenario, Mediatrix units are registered with the service providers softswitch that processes calls and requests to an application platform and a trunking gateway.

Service providers offering IP Centrex services have a need to extend their revenue-generating services to such customers, by leveraging the existing base of legacy phones. The present scenario sees a service provider and end-user premises with legacy phones that need to be connected to IP Centrex services.

    40. Service Provider Applications Service providers can offer IP Centrex services to enterprises who need a comprehensive voice and data solution in one box or to enterprises with an existing base of ISDN phones. In the present application, two types of deployments are illustrated. The enterprise to the left is connected to IP Centrex services with a Mediatrix 2400 series BRI IP router providing IP connectivity to ISDN phones. In addition, the local LAN is also connected to the Mediatrix unit, which provides QoS, NAT, PPPoE and DHCP server functions. This brings additional security and a better voice quality as the Mediatrix unit prioritizes voice over data, thus achieving a comprehensive voice and data solution in one box. The enterprise to the right has already a data infrastructure in place and needs to connect its existing ISDN phones to IP Centrex services, which is possible with a Mediatrix 1400 series BRI VoIP gateway. In both deployments, enterprises have access to the local PSTN as BRI lines from the local CO are connected to the Mediatrix units. The Mediatrix units can terminate local calls to the local PSTN instead of sending them to the IP.

    41. Service Provider Applications The Background With the widespread public use of the Internet, new revenue-generating opportunities have emerged for service providers. One of these opportunities consists of bringing IP telephony to residential users, by leveraging the installed base of broadband access equipment such as DSL and Cable modems. Residential IP telephony is useful for such services as second line and toll-free long-distance calls. Thus service providers have a need to deploy low-cost residential gateways that will bring IP telephony to homes where Internet access is already provided. The present scenario sees a service provider and residential users with DSL or Cable modems. The Solution The Mediatrix Liaison series and Mediatrix 2102 access devices constitute the ideal solutions to connect residential users to a service providers IP infrastructure. In this scenario, Mediatrix units are registered with the service providers softswitch that processes calls and requests to an application platform and a trunking gateway. At the residential premises, Mediatrix 2102 access devices connect up to 2 analog phones and fax machines to an existing Internet connection through a DSL or Cable modem. The second Ethernet port of the Mediatrix 2102 connects a users PC, thus having a single product connecting directly to a DSL or Cable modem, all with only one public IP address given by the Internet provider. Alternatively, the Mediatrix Liaison series can be used to combine a DSL modem and a VoIP gateway for a single-product solution. The Mediatrix Liaison is also available with Wi-Fi to connect multiple PCs to a providers IP network. The Benefits - Investment protected in legacy phones and faxes. - Cost-effective VoIP deployment to residential users. - Transparent implementation of VoIP benefits. - No significant changes in user habits. - Voice and data convergence for residential users. Note: The call scenarios mentioned above are in direct relation to the capabilities, specifications and configuration options of the Telephony Server, Softswitch, IP-PBX, PBX and KTS where applicable. However, the major outlines of the call scenarios should be possible, without discarding the possible need for some minor modifications.

    42. Service Provider Applications The Background A call center needs an Automatic Call Distributor (ACD) to operate. The costs associated with the acquisition and maintenance over time of an ACD are not negligible, especially for small call centers with about a dozen call center agents. This creates a revenue-generating opportunity for service providers who can have a large hosted ACD that individual call centers can connect to, for their call processing. Call centers can avoid the costs and maintenance fees associated with having their own ACD. The present scenario sees individual call centers and a service provider that has a need to connect call centers to the hosted ACD, in a cost-effective way using VoIP. The Solution Mediatrix units constitute the ideal solution to connect individual call centers to the hosted ACD of a service provider, using VoIP. In this scenario, Mediatrix 1100 series access devices are located at each call center, and connect legacy analog phones used by call center agents to the IP. At the service provider location, Mediatrix 1204 FXO gateways connect analog lines from the hosted ACD to the IP. Port mapping is used to make the application possible. The Communications Management System maps each FXO port with an FXS port. When the ACD sends a call to a line connected to an FXO port, the call goes to the corresponding FXS port, in an automatic and transparent way using VoIP. The voice path between the FXO and FXS ports is always on, just as the voice path between a phone and a local ACD is always on. The ACD itself can manage different call center accounts by maintaining different databases of phone numbers and call queues for each call center. With Mediatrix units, service providers can increase their revenues in a cost-effective way, by proposing hosted ACD services to individual call centers wishing to reduce costs. The Benefits - Investment protected in legacy phones. - Greater revenue streams for service providers. - No significant changes in call center user habits. - Savings in ACD charges. - Lower call centers operating costs. Note: The call scenarios mentioned above are in direct relation to the capabilities, specifications and configuration options of the Telephony Server, Softswitch, IP-PBX, PBX and KTS where applicable. However, the major outlines of the call scenarios should be possible, without discarding the possible need for some minor modifications.

    43. Service Provider Applications The Background Service providers that opt for all-IP deployments for an enterprises telephony requirements, as part of IP Centrex services or greenfield applications, deploy mainly IP Phones. While service providers have points of presences that offer PSTN access to their customers, there is need to have local PSTN access for the IP Phones directly at the customer premise. This is essential for services such as local 911. The present scenario sees a service provider and IP Phones at the customer premise that need local PSTN access, from the same physical location. The Solution Mediatrix 1204 FXO gateways constitute the ideal solution to provide IP Phones at the customer premise access to the PSTN, for important services such as 911. In this scenario, the IP Phones and the Mediatrix units are registered with the service providers softswitch that processes calls and requests to an application platform and a trunking gateway. During 911 calls, the location of the caller must be available to the 911 operator. To address this requirement, Mediatrix 1204 FXO gateways can be placed at the same physical location as the IP Phones, with up to four local PSTN lines directly connected to each unit. Through proper configuration at the softswitch level, dial maps can be established where all 911 calls placed by the IP Phones exit to the local PSTN through the 1204, instead of going through another point of presence of the service provider. The 911 operator sees the PSTN phone number connected to the 1204 and thus can trace the address of the physical location. Moreover pre-configured dial maps can send all incoming calls from the 911 operator to a specific IP Phone, possibly the receptionist. Alternatively specific ports of the 1204 can be used solely for 911 purposes, while others for local PSTN access. The Benefits - Local 911 access for emergency purposes. - Cost-effective 911 solution to IP Phones. - Local PSTN access to IP Phones. - Toll bypass between cities or areas. Note: The call scenarios mentioned above are in direct relation to the capabilities, specifications and configuration options of the Telephony Server, Softswitch, IP-PBX, PBX and KTS where applicable. However, the major outlines of the call scenarios should be possible, without discarding the possible need for some minor modifications.

    44. Enterprise Solutions and Applications

    45. Enterprise Applications The Background System integrators and resellers who are asked by enterprises to provide solutions designed to cut costs can now add IP telephony and all of its benefits to their offering. The IP telephony benefits are most useful in scenarios where enterprises have more than one site or office, typically one main office and many branch offices. The present scenario sees a legacy PBX or Key system at each corporate location. The need is to cut communications costs by providing VoIP capability to each PBX or KTS in a transparent way to end-users. The Solution Mediatrix access devices constitute the ideal solution to provide IP capability to legacy PBX and Key systems in order to produce the benefits of VoIP. In this scenario, external PBX trunks that would typically be connected to a CO and the PSTN are instead connected to Mediatrix 1102, 1104 or 1124 access devices. Similarly, external Key system lines typically connected to a CO and the PSTN are instead connected to Mediatrix access devices. To place an IP call, a PBX user simply dials a pre-configured digit to reach the IP-enabled trunk, just as they would dial 9 to place a call on the PSTN. Key system users access the IP-enabled line by selecting a line connected to a Mediatrix unit as opposed to a line connected to the PSTN. The Mediatrix unit provides then a second dial tone, and the PBX or Key system user is free to dial a pre-assigned number to reach the intended office. Optionally fax machines can be connected to the access devices, to produce toll-free fax. Thus voice calls and fax transmissions between branch offices use the IP to achieve toll bypass. The Benefits - Investment protected in legacy PBX and Key systems. - Toll bypass between offices. - Savings on CO trunk and lines charges. - Cost-effective migration to VoIP. - Transparent implementation of VoIP benefits. - No significant changes in user habits. Note: The call scenarios mentioned above are in direct relation to the capabilities, specifications and configuration options of the Telephony Server, Softswitch, IP-PBX, PBX and KTS where applicable. However, the major outlines of the call scenarios should be possible, without discarding the possible need for some minor modifications.

    46. Enterprise Applications System integrators and resellers can offer a toll bypass solution to enterprises with multiple branch offices, each with a legacy PBX or Key System in place. In the present application, two types of deployments are illustrated. Office 1 is connected to the private enterprise IP network with a Mediatrix 2500 or 2600 series PRI IP router providing IP connectivity to PRI trunk ports. Office 2 is connected to the same private enterprise IP network with a Mediatrix 2400 series BRI IP router providing IP connectivity to BRI trunk ports. In both deployments, the Mediatrix unit connects ISDN lines from the PSTN as well. This prevents PBX reconfiguration complexities, as the Mediatrix unit performs the call routing functions that send calls to the PSTN or the IP, based on the numbers dialed. Also, PBX users in office 1 can call the local PSTN of office 2 toll free without going through the PBX of office 2, and users of the local PSTN of office 2 can call PBX users in office 1 toll free without going through the PBX of office 2. The same scenarios apply for all offices. In addition, the local LAN is connected to the Mediatrix unit, which provides QoS, NAT, PPPoE and DHCP server functions. This brings additional security and a better voice quality as the Mediatrix unit prioritizes voice over data, thus achieving a comprehensive voice and data solution in one box for each office.

The IP telephony benefits are most useful in scenarios where enterprises have more than one site or office, typically one main office and many branch offices. The present scenario sees a legacy PBX at each corporate location, with extensions that are idle. The need is to cut communications costs by providing VoIP capability to each PBX in order to make use of idle extensions and optimize the investment in line cards. The Solution Mediatrix 1204 FXO gateways constitute the ideal solution to provide IP capability to legacy PBX systems on the extensions side, in order to produce the benefits of VoIP. In this scenario, PBX extensions that are not used are connected to FXO ports, rather than individual stations. To place an IP call, a PBX user simply dials one of the extensions (e.g. 211, 212, 213, etc) connected to a Mediatrix 1204 FXO gateway. The Mediatrix unit provides then a second dial tone, and the PBX user is free to dial a pre-assigned number to reach the intended office. The call is then sent to another Mediatrix 1204 that is connected to idle extensions of the destination PBX. The first available extension is taken, and the caller can dial a station on the destination PBX or exit to the PSTN to place a toll-free call anywhere in the area where the PBX is located. Existing trunk connections to the CO can be maintained or reduced, based on intra-office call traffic. Moreover in the scenario, a caller on the PSTN can dial into the PBX, reach a second PBX located in another city and exit to the local PSTN of that city, thus producing toll bypass between two PSTN users. The Benefits - Investment protected in legacy PBX systems. - Toll bypass between offices. - Toll bypass between two cities or areas. - Savings on CO trunk charges. - Cost-effective migration to VoIP. - Transparent implementation of VoIP benefits. - No significant changes in user habits.

    49. Enterprise Applications The Background Due to family commitments and transportation difficulties, there is a growing need for corporate employees to work from home, and thus for enterprises to provide the means to facilitate this. In turn, the need for remote access and mobility provides system integrators and resellers the opportunity to present solutions to enterprises designed to establish home office capabilities through IP telephony. The present scenario sees a legacy PBX and remote workers who wish to stay home or in another small office. The application must connect remote workers to the PBX in a way that is transparent to everyone. The Solution Mediatrix 2102 access devices and 1204 FXO gateways constitute the ideal solution to extend PBX extensions to remote workers located at SOHOs, using VoIP. In this scenario, PBX extensions that are not used are connected to the IP through FXO ports, instead of being connected to individual stations. At the SOHO locations, Mediatrix 2102 units connect analog phones to the same IP network. To produce full transparency, each FXO port is mapped to an FXS port on an 2102. This allows individual extensions (e.g. 211, 212, 213, etc) to be extended to remote locations producing remote line extensions. To call a remote worker, a PBX user or a PSTN caller simply dials the PBX extension that is mapped to the remote 2102. The remote worker is reached without a second dial tone or any additional dialed digits. Except for some very minor characteristics, it is as if the remote workers are physically present in the office, while in reality they could be at any distance away. Moreover with this application, remote workers have direct access to their own voice mails on the PBX and can fax to one another toll-free The Benefits - Increased mobility for remote workers. - Increased productivity. - Savings on second line charges at home. - Toll bypass between office and remote SOHOs. - Existing PBX line cards leveraged. - No significant changes in user habits. - Cost-effective SOHO implementation.

    50. Enterprise Applications System integrators and resellers can offer enterprises the possibility to extend PBX BRI extensions to remote offices in a transparent way, without having to invest in a new PBX. In the present application, a main office with a legacy PBX has internal BRI extensions that must be extended to a remote office with ISDN phones that must behave like PBX stations from the main office. The main office has already a data infrastructure in place. It is connected to the private enterprise IP network with a Mediatrix 1400 series BRI VoIP gateway providing IP connectivity to BRI station lines where normally ISDN phones would be found. At the remote office, remote PBX users are connected to the main office PBX through VoIP with a Mediatrix 2400 series BRI IP router providing IP connectivity to ISDN phones. In addition, the local LAN is also connected to the Mediatrix unit, which provides QoS, NAT, PPPoE and DHCP server functions. This brings additional security and a better voice quality as the Mediatrix unit prioritizes voice over data, thus achieving a comprehensive voice and data solution in one box.

    51. Enterprise Applications The Background Enterprises are communicating increasingly with suppliers, customers and partners that are spread around the world. This applies to enterprises that have numerous offices worldwide, as well as those that do not. Given the importance to be continuously in communication with important players, enterprises must place numerous long-distance calls, thus producing a need to have toll bypass with cities or areas where enterprises might not have any local presence. System integrators and resellers can now use IP telephony to address the need. The present scenario sees a legacy PBX or Key system at each corporate location with no corporate presence in distant cities or areas where calls are placed and faxes are sent frequently. The Solution Mediatrix units constitute the ideal solution to produce toll bypass between corporate offices and cities or areas with no corporate presence. In this scenario, Mediatrix 1100 series access devices provide IP connectivity to legacy PBX and Key systems, while Mediatrix 1204 FXO gateways are located in remote cities. Since 1204 units are rack-mountable and stackable, they can be stored easily in small leased communications closets. To place an IP call, a PBX user simply dials a pre-configured digit to reach the IP-enabled trunk, just as they would dial 9 to place a call on the PSTN. Key system users access the IP-enabled line by selecting a line connected to a Mediatrix unit as opposed to a line connected to the PSTN. The Mediatrix unit provides then a second dial tone, and the PBX or Key system user is free to dial the remote PSTN number. Based on the capabilities of the Communications Management System, the call or fax transmission will be sent directly to the Mediatrix 1204 FXO gateway that is nearest to the PSTN destination. Thus calls and fax transmissions between corporate offices and cities or areas with no corporate presence will use the IP to achieve toll bypass. Moreover incoming calls and fax transmissions from suppliers, customers and partners in remote cities can also be placed toll free. The Benefits - Toll bypass between offices and remote cities. - Greater customer satisfaction. - Lower operating costs. - Toll-free fax with various cities. - Transparent implementation of VoIP benefits. - No significant changes in user habits.

    52. Enterprise Applications The Background Equipment manufacturers of IP-based PBX and Key systems are increasingly faced with a desire by enterprises to retain their existing legacy phones, while moving to an all-IP solution. Moreover given the widespread presence of the PSTN in the foreseeable future, there is a need to give IP systems PSTN connectivity. Many equipment manufacturers are unwilling or unable to develop analog device and analog line interfaces and increase the cost of their IP-based telephone systems. As such, the need is to acquire products from other manufacturers that will integrate with their systems and interface with legacy phones and faxes and the PSTN. The Solution Mediatrix units constitute the ideal solution to provide legacy connectivity to IP-based PBX and Key systems. In this scenario, Mediatrix 1102, 1104 or 1124 access devices connect legacy phones and fax machines to an IP system, thus enabling analog phones to behave like IP Phones. The Mediatrix access devices are connected to the same source (external hub or switch, built-in hub or switch) as the IP Phones that are part of the IP-based telephone system. Furthermore, in order to provide PSTN access, Mediatrix 1204 FXO gateways connect analog PSTN lines to the IP-based telephone system. This allows IP-PBX or IP-Key system users to place calls through the network to another IP-based system, to the local PSTN or the PSTN of another branch office. Depending on the architecture of the IP-based system, the 1204 units are either connected to the same source (external hub or switch, built-in hub or switch) as the IP Phones or to the external network interface. The Benefits - Investment protected in legacy phones and faxes. - Toll bypass between offices. - Local PSTN access for emergency purposes. - PSTN backup in case of network failure. - Low cost FXS and FXO interfaces. - Transparent change for users on legacy phones.

As such, the need is to acquire products from other manufacturers that will integrate with their systems and interface with the legacy PSTN. In the present application, a Mediatrix 2400 series BRI IP router connects BRI lines from the PSTN to an IP-PBX, thus giving IP-PBX users access to the PSTN and vice-versa. Each Mediatrix BRI unit can connect up to four BRI lines to the IP-PBX for up to 8 VoIP calls, thus bringing great flexibility and scalability. In addition, the Mediatrix unit is the entry point between the IP-PBX and the WAN and provides QoS, NAT, PPPoE and DHCP server functions. This brings additional security and a better voice quality as the Mediatrix unit prioritizes voice over data, thus achieving a comprehensive voice and data solution in one box.

    55. Enterprise Applications The Background Enterprises opting for all-IP deployments for their telephony needs cannot overlook the high cost of IP fax machines, nor the significant investment already made in legacy fax machines. Therefore, while IP Phones in such situations replace legacy phones, legacy fax machines cannot be discarded that easily. The need is to maintain legacy fax machines in all-IP telephony deployments. System integrators and resellers can now offer enterprises the ability to retain their legacy fax machines while moving to an all IP-solution. The present scenario sees IP Phones and a legacy fax machine that needs to be connected to the IP, at each corporate office. The Solution Mediatrix 1102 access devices constitute the ideal solution to IP-enable legacy fax machines in an all-IP environment in order to retain existing fax equipment throughout an enterprise. In this scenario, legacy fax machines are connected to 1102 units that are in turn connected to an enterprise VoIP network. Moreover, Mediatrix 1204 FXO gateways can be placed to allow fax transmissions to PSTN destinations, and vice versa, thus achieving toll bypass for some fax transmissions. Fax transmissions can be sent in clear channel or T.38 based on bandwidth requirements, while the 1102 can register with the main call control equipment using any standard VoIP protocol (SIP, H.323, MGCP). The second FXS port of the 1102 can be used for a second legacy fax machine, should an enterprise decide to have separate fax machines for separate departments or services. The small and convenient design of the 1102 allows it to be physically located near the fax machine thus eliminating any unnecessarily bulky wiring. The Benefits - Investment protected in legacy faxes. - Toll-free fax between offices. - Toll-free fax with some cities or areas. - Savings on CO lines charges. - No significant changes in fax usage habits. Note: The call scenarios mentioned above are in direct relation to the capabilities, specifications and configuration options of the Telephony Server, Softswitch, IP-PBX, PBX and KTS where applicable. However, the major outlines of the call scenarios should be possible, without discarding the possible need for some minor modifications. Telephony Server is a generic term used to describe a Softswitch, H.323 Gatekeeper, SIP Server or MGCP Call Agent commonly available from Mediatrix Business Partners.The BackgroundEnterprises opting for all-IP deployments for their telephony needs cannot overlook the high cost of IP fax machines, nor the significant investment already made in legacy fax machines.

    56. Enterprise Applications The Background Many enterprises prefer a VoIP migration strategy that sees a gradual replacement of legacy equipment with IP-based systems. Enterprises have a need to network remote offices with typically 4 to 12 employees, to existing IP-based systems, without investing in new legacy systems or moving to IP systems right away. As such, system integrators and resellers must address the desire by many enterprises to implement a cost-effective VoIP migration in remote offices with a limited number of employees. The application must connect remote offices to IP-based telephone systems using legacy phones in a way that is transparent to everyone. The Solution Mediatrix units constitute the ideal solution to link remote offices to main offices with IP PBX or Key systems, thus producing remote office connectivity. In this scenario, each remote office has neither a legacy system nor an IP-based system. Rather, in order to have a cost-effective and transparent migration to VoIP, Mediatrix units are used to connect the employees of the remote office to the main office. Mediatrix 1100 series access devices allow analog phones to interact with the IP-based system and to behave like remote extensions by being line-side expansions. Thus by calling into the main office, a caller can reach anyone in the remote office in a transparent way. Moreover Mediatrix 1204 FXO gateways can provide local PSTN access to the remote office, and allow PSTN users to communicate with the remote office and the main office. This is achieved by routing PSTN calls into the 1204 over to the main office IP-based system, and letting callers dial the extension of their choice, whether it is located in the main office or the remote office. Also, fax machines can be connected to Mediatrix 1100 series access devices to produce toll-free fax. The Benefits - Investment protected in legacy phones and faxes. - Centralized and single telephone system. - Toll bypass between offices. - Cost-effective migration to VoIP. - Transparent implementation of VoIP benefits. - No significant changes in user habits at remote offices. - Toll-free fax between offices.

Enterprises can have a need to network remote offices with a limited number of employees (4-12), to existing IP-based systems, without investing in new legacy systems or installing IP systems right away at the remote offices. In the present application, a remote office has to be connected to a main office that has an IP-PBX. The main office is connected to the private enterprise IP network. The remote office is connected to the main office through VoIP with a Mediatrix 2400 series BRI IP router providing IP connectivity to ISDN phones. In addition, the local LAN is also connected to the Mediatrix unit, which provides QoS, NAT, PPPoE and DHCP server functions. This brings additional security and a better voice quality as the Mediatrix unit prioritizes voice over data, thus achieving a comprehensive voice and data solution in one box. The Mediatrix unit in the remote office connects BRI lines from the local CO as well. The Mediatrix unit performs the call routing functions that send calls to the local PSTN or the main office, based on the numbers dialed. Also, IP-PBX users in the main office can call the local PSTN of the remote office toll free, and users of the local PSTN of the remote office can call IP-PBX users in the main office toll free.

    58. Enterprise Applications The Background Enterprises opting for all-IP deployments for their telephony requirements deploy mainly IP-based systems at main offices. For small remote branch offices with 4 to 12 employees, enterprises may not want to deploy complete IP-based PBX or Key systems, but rather have IP Phones installed as extensions of an IP-based system in a main office. This produces a need to have local PSTN access in small offices, especially for services such as local 911. System integrators and resellers can now address that need. The present scenario sees only IP Phones at small remote branch offices and an IP-based system at the main office. The Solution Mediatrix 1204 FXO gateways constitute the ideal solution to provide IP Phones at small remote branch offices access to the PSTN for important services such as 911. In this scenario, the IP Phones are seen as expansions of the IP-based system at the main office. During 911 calls, the location of the caller must be available to the 911 operator. To address this requirement, a Mediatrix 1204 FXO gateway can be placed at the same physical location as the IP Phones of the branch office, with up to four local PSTN lines directly connected to it. Through proper configuration, dial maps can be established where all 911 calls placed by the remote IP Phones exit to the local PSTN through the 1204, rather than the IP system at the main office. The 911 operator sees the PSTN phone number connected to the 1204 and thus can trace the address of the branch office. Moreover pre-configured dial maps can send all incoming calls from the 911 operator to a specific IP Phone, possibly the receptionist. Additional 1204 units can be placed at the branch office to provide toll-free access to the PSTN for the main office. Alternatively specific ports of the 1204 can be used solely for 911 purposes, while others for local PSTN access. The Benefits - Local 911 access for emergency purposes. - Cost-effective 911 solution to IP Phones. - Local PSTN access to IP Phones. - Toll bypass between cities or areas. Note: The call scenarios mentioned above are in direct relation to the capabilities, specifications and configuration options of the Telephony Server, Softswitch, IP-PBX, PBX and KTS where applicable. However, the major outlines of the call scenarios should be possible, without discarding the possible need for some minor modifications. The application above would not be possible in the event of a WAN failure or power outage.

    59. Enterprise Applications The Background Many enterprises today have branch offices and a large base of legacy equipment installed. While these enterprises wish to cut their communications costs by implementing a VoIP solution, they also have a desire to leverage their investment in legacy equipment. Moreover many enterprises have a diverse base of legacy equipment, and thus are in need of a non-proprietary solution that can converge legacy PBX and Key systems from various vendors. System integrators and resellers can now propose a VoIP migration strategy to enterprises wishing to leverage their existing base of legacy equipment while taking immediate advantage of VoIP benefits. The Solution Mediatrix access devices, gateways and software products constitute the ideal solution to IP-enable legacy PBX and Key systems and produce a complete end-to-end VoIP solution. The Mediatrix Converged Enterprise Telephony solution encompasses all the IP telephony equipment necessary to leverage an existing VPN and carry all calls and fax transmissions between branch offices over the IP, in order to cut communications costs. With Mediatrix units, IP connectivity can be provided to analog PBX trunks and lines, analog PSTN lines, analog Key system lines as well as analog phones and fax machines located at SOHOs. As a SIP redirect server, the Mediatrix IP Communication Server performs the signaling between Mediatrix units, while the Mediatrix Unit Manager Network, as an element management system, allows the remote and simultaneous configuration and provisioning of all Mediatrix units, to facilitate the installation and management of the VoIP network. As part of a VoIP migration strategy, the Mediatrix CET is the first step for enterprises wishing to move from an all-legacy equipment base to an all-IP one, in a cost-effective and transparent manner. The Benefits - Toll Bypass - Cost Reductions - Price Performance - Compatibility - Simple Packaging - Flexibility - Scalability - Transparency - Bandwidth Optimization Note: The call scenarios mentioned above are in direct relation to the capabilities, specifications and configuration options of the Telephony Server, Softswitch, IP-PBX, PBX and KTS where applicable.
