Microtronix MWI Gateway – SIP/SMDI Router and Translator
1. Overview
The Microtronix Access 1000/4000 MWI Gateway provides routing and translation of
Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) notifications from VoIP Unified Messaging Servers and
legacy Voice Mail Systems to one or more legacy or VoIP telephone switches/ PBXs.
The MWI Gateway receives MWI input from either:
●Legacy VMS via SMDI messages over serial interface or T P/IP socket
●VoIP UMS/VMS via SIP Notify messages over T P/IP or UDP/IP sockets
Routing of MWI messages to multiple switches may be accomplished with:
●Domain name in the SIP Notify request URI
●Telephone number in the SIP Notify request URI
●Telephone number in the SMDI OP or RMV messages
MWI output (with message translation where necessary):
●SMDI via serial RS232 port directly to legacy PBX
●SMDI via T P/IP to remote terminal server connected to serial port of legacy PBX
●SMDI via T P/IP to PBX supporting SMDI over T P
●Sip Notify (message-summary) via UDP/IP to VoIP PBX

1.1 MWI Routing
When there are multiple destination switches as in the diagram above, an optional telephone
number database may be used for routing MWI messages. The database is self-learning and
may be populated from a comma separated values ( SV) text file containing telephone
number and matching switch interface number. A database manger application allows
adding, deleting, and reassigning phone numbers manually.
1.2 SMDI to SIP Translation
When there is only single VoIP switch/PBX destination configured, routing is unnecessary and
the MWI Gateway acts as a simple SMDI to SIP translator.
1.3 SIP to SMDI Translation
When there is only single legacy switch/PBX destination configured, routing is unnecessary
and the MWI Gateway acts as a simple SIP to SMDI translator.

3.3 UMS SIP Interface Configuration
The VoIP UMS or VMS connects to the MWI Gateway over an IP network as shown in the
diagram below. The UMS is configured with the IP address of the MWI Gateway and delivers
unsolicited SIP Notify messages over either T P or UDP sessions. More than one UMS may
connect to the MWI Gateway.
The MWI Gateway needs to be configured to accept the incoming connections from the UMS
and extract the domain name and telephone number from one of the fields of the SIP Notify
message.
From main menu MWI Gateway section, select UMS SIP Interface to display the
configuration form.
If the MWI Gateway needs to register itself, enter the Registar IP address and Registrar
UDP port.
To accept incoming sip Notify messages:
1) Specify the T P and/or UDP port number to which the UMS interface will connect.
The normal default is port number 5060.
2) Select the SIP NOTIFY header field containing the SIP-URI that will be used for

3.3 VMS SMDI Interface Configuration
The VMS connects to the MWI Gateway via an SMDI link which may be one of the following
as depicted in the diagram below:
If connecting directly using a serial port, the SMDI interface connects to the built-in T P
terminal server at the local IP address, 127.0.0.1. If connecting remotely via T P/IP, the IP
address of the remote terminal server or of the VMS itself will be used for initiating the
connection. Leave the IP address blank if accepting a connection from any source.
To configure SMDI interfaces:
1) From the main menu MWI Gateway section, select VMS SMDI Interface to display the
configuration form.
2) If initiating a connection towards the VMS, specify the IP address and T P port
number of the remote or local terminal server that corresponds to the serial link of the

3.4 Switch SMDI Interface Configuration
To route incoming MWI messages to legacy switches using SMDI, the MWI Gateway supports
connections to legacy switches and PBXs as depicted in the diagram below:
When multiple switches are to be configured, start with the switch with the most telephone
numbers, followed by switches with decreasing numbers. This increases the likelyhood of an
early match when the MWI router application is learning a new number. Assign an interface
number for each stating with 0.
If destination switches are addressed by the UMS by a unique domain name, enter it in the
Domain field. Lookup by telephone number in the database will not be necessary unless
there are exceptions.
The destination switch/PBX SMDI interface may be one of the following:
1. Direct connection to serial SMDI port of PBX via internal Terminal Ser er
2. T P/IP connection to a PBX supporting SMDI over T P
3. T P/IP connection to a remote terminal server with serial connection to PBX
The fourth option shows the Microtronix SMDI Translator (3A Translator replacement) being

used to connect to a Lucent 5ESS Switch's custom ISDN API interface, and providing SMDI
over T P/IP or serial RS232.
If connecting directly using a serial port, the SMDI interface connects to the built-in T P
terminal server using the local IP address, 127.0.0.1. If connecting remotely via T P/IP, the
IP address of the remote terminal server, PBX, or SMDI Translator will be used.
To configure switch interfaces, repeat the following steps for each interface:
1) From the main menu MWI Gateway section, select Switch Interfaces to display the
configuration form.
2) Below the form, a table labelled Switch/PBX Interfaces is displayed. This table lists
the switch Interfaces with their current configuration and status.
3) To edit or enable a Switch Interface setting, select the corresponding radio button on
the right side of the interface table. The current values will populate the fields in the
form above. The interface unit number will display in the Switch Number box.
4) Domain: field - specify the domain name that will be used to match the domain field of
the SIP-URI field of incoming SIP Notify messages. Messages matching this will be
delivered to this switch. If the name is entered as “default”, then messages that have
no other match will be delivered to this switch. If left blank, then only telephone
number lookup will apply for this switch.
5) Select SMDI in the Protocol drop-down list.
6) Enter the IP Address and T P Port Number of the terminal server that corresponds to
the serial link connected to the Switch. If an SMDI connection to a remote terminal
server is desired, specify the external IP address and the T P port for that terminal
server to receive the SMDI-Switch Interface connection (leave the IP field blank to
listen for the remote terminal server to initiate the connection). Otherwise, the built-in
terminal server can be specified by using the local loopback IP address (127.0.0.1).
The T P port specified will be 400x, where x is equal to the SMDI-Switch Interface
number (ie. Device Port 0 = 4000).
7) Specify the SMDI keepalive interval, which is the time it takes in seconds between
receiving a response to a heartbeat message and when the next heartbeat message
will be sent.
8) lick the Apply button to commit changes made.
For additional configuration information, click on the Help button.
The Interface number field in the Switch Interfaces table is a link that displays the current
running status of the corresponding application with a red or green indicator. licking the link
will display the application status and message statistics.
