4VoIP PCB Overview
The 4 port VoIP PCB (P/N 92046) provide a means of connecting multiple i-Series systems together over an IP WAN. With the addition of
the VoIP PCB and using 124i Enhanced software version 2.01.00 or higher, it is now possible to place calls between i-Series systems using
VoIP and the Digital Networking features.Transmission of both voice and data over the same connection is now possible.This eliminates the
need for point-to-point connection between sites and allows the use of a shared public network such as Frame Relay or ATM.
Currently, the VoIP feature can provide:
●
Desk-to-desk calls between i-Series systems
- Trunk-to-trunk connections between sites
- Only DID call handling is supported
●
Ability to transfer intercom or trunk calls to an extension on another i-Series system
●
Ability to transfer intercom calls from a remote site to a local trunk on the system
●
Direct access or dial access to trunks at another i-Series site
●
i-Series Networking features (such as common voice mail with voice message indication)
●
Release ink Tie Trunk Transfer
Trunk release after transferring a call to another i-Series site
An extension user at one site can easily dial an extension at a remote i-Series telephone system. Calls are transported between systems using
the H.323 protocol with ISDN-like messages that contain information about the source of the call, the type of call and the destination of the
call. This call information is sent within a User-User Information element which is part of an H.223/H.225 packet.
VoIP call routing and control may be done with an external H.323 Gatekeeper. Each client is required to register with an H.323 Gatekeeper
and provide an IP address and telephone number to be used as an alias. From this information, the Gatekeeper constructs routing tables and
provides clients with directory services.When a Gatekeeper is installed, all routing and call initialization must be handled by the Gatekeeper.
The 124i Enhanced system will not be allowed to specify the destination IP address for a call if a Gatekeeper is installed.
When a Gatekeeper is not available, the 124i Enhanced must examine the dialed numbers and determine a routing method which may
include an IP address and an outgoing trunk group. The 124i Enhanced must be configured to use either F-Route orARS to translate a dialed
number into an IP address and select a route for a VoIP call.
A maximum of 5 VoIP PCBs may be installed in a system, but with the
following limitations. The first cabinet can only have one VoIP PCB
installed and must be in slots 4-8. The second and third cabinets can
each have only two VoIP PCBs installed and must also be installed in
the last four slots in the cabinet slots 12-16 in the second cabinet,
slots 20-24 in the third cabinet).
All trunks ports on the same VoIP PCB must be assigned to the same
trunk group since incoming VoIP calls will select any idle port on the
PCB.
The VoIP PCB provides the following:
●
Run/Block switch for enabling/disabling the PCB
●
oad switch used for updating the PCB firmware
●
PCMCIA card slot for updating PCB firmware
●
DIN connector for diagnostics (no DIMU is required,
simply plug a terminal into the connector)
●
8-pin AN connector (CN10)
●
Status EDs for each VoIP port
●
Run ED indicates if PCB is functioning

Hardware Considerations
Each VoIP PCB must be associated with a VoIP PCB at another i-Series site. There must be a dedicated one-to-one relationship between
the VoIP PCBs across the network. For example, if a remote site has 2 VoIP PCBs, the main office must also have 2 PCBs for sending
and receiving VoIP calls to that site. Outgoing calls on a VoIP PCB must be routed only to the IP address of the associated VoIP PCB at
the remote site.
This is done to emulate the point-to-point connection provided by a T1 or PRI trunk. With this configuration, if all ports on the local
PCB are busy, then all ports on the associated remote VoIP PCB will also be busy. This is required in a system with multiple VoIP
PCBs to force overflow of outgoing calls to an alternate route (another VoIP PCB) if all ports at the remote site are busy.
Programming Considerations
Each VoIP PCB must be assigned to its own trunk group in Program 0905 -Trunk Groups . All ports on a VoIP PCB must be assigned
to the same trunk group.
When multiple VoIP PCBs are installed at a site, ARS or F-Route must be set up with alternate routes with each route sending calls to a
different outgoing trunk group (VoIP PCB). Outgoing calls to a particular VoIP PCB must use only the IP address of the associated VoIP
PCB at the remote site.
It is recommended that the hunting order (the order of the alternate route selection) be reversed at each site to reduce the chance of call
collisions.
Outgoing Calls — If Using a Gatekeeper
If a Gatekeeper is used, the 124i Enhanced must be programmed to use the Gatekeeper. All user-dialed digits for a VoIP call are sent to
the Gatekeeper which will set up and manage the call.
Some Gatekeepers accept overlap dial information - some do not. The 124i Enhanced system can enable either Overlap or En Bloc
Sending for each VoIP PCB (Program 0319 Item 1). This results in differences in the operation of outgoing calls.
●
Overlap Sending
Each time a user dials a digit, the dial information is sent to the Gatekeeper. This operation is just like using an analog
trunk.
●
En Bloc Sending
Dial information must be stored and then sent all at once. After dialing the digits for an outgoing call, the user must wait
for the inter-digit timer to expire before the digits are sent. The user may, however, press the # key to send the dialed digits
before the timer expires.
Outgoing Calls — If Not Using a Gatekeeper
A user is not allowed to seize the VoIP trunk manually because dialed digits cannot be sent directly to the VoIP trunk. An IP address
must be provided to route the call. This means that a user cannot press a trunk key or dial a trunk access code to seize a VoIP trunk.
To determine the destination IP address from the dialed digits, the 124i Enhanced system uses F-Route or ARS. These programs have
been modified to support VoIP. The following description shows how to determine an IP address.
How to Determine the Destination IP Address Using ARS or F-Route
This option must be used for reaching destinations such as a key telephone at a remote system without a Gatekeeper. The target destina-
tion will be specified by a local trunk group number, an IP address and the called party number.

Page 3
Configuration for IP Address Determination
In Program 0905, program all the VoIP trunks into the same group. This trunk group can then be selected in Program 0928 as a
route for a VoIP call.
Program 0905
ARS and F-Route can select the trunk group from the dialed digits for outgoing calls. The trunk group is part of the routing instructions
in Program 2101 (ARS Selection Table) or Program 2904 (F-Route Routing Table). If the trunk group number is between 101 and 126,
it indicates that an attempt should be make to route the call overVoIP. The last 2 digits of this trunk group number are used to select an
entry (table) in Program 0928. The system will choose one trunk from theVoIP trunk group and use the assigned IP address. The dialed
digits are edited by the appropriate dial treatment and stored in the called party number area in the Setup message.
Program 0928 is a table that assigns a VoIP trunk group and an IP address for a VoIP call. This address is the IP address for the
VoIP PCB at the remote location.
Program 0928
As a result of the programming shown in the table above, when trunk group 101 is selected by F-Route or ARS, the system will
choose an outgoing trunk port from trunk group 26 and the IP destination address used will be 192.168.0.1.
How to Determine the Destination IP Address with ARS (Required if Dialing More Than 4 Digits)
If you want to dial the phone number to reach an IP telephone when a Gatekeeper is not available, the ARS feature should be used.
ARS uses the 3-digit or 6-digit table to decide the trunk group to be used. An option is now available to convert the dialed digits to
an IP address.
If the ARS selection number is found by searching the 3 or 6-digit tables and the trunk group number in the Selection Routing
Table (Program 2101) is between 101 to 126, it indicates that the system should attempt to route the call using VoIP. The last 2 dig-
its of this trunk group number are used as the entry in Program 0928 to get the VoIP trunk group number and IP address.
If the VoIP trunk group number is NOT set to zero (0) in Program 0928, the system starts searching for the dialed digits in a section
of the Abbreviated Dial Table within the range defined in Program 0605. If a match is found, the associated entry in Program 0604
is a trunk group number that points to a table in Program 0928, which is used to get the VoIP trunk group and IP address. If no
match is found, the system uses the trunk group number in the Program 0928 table that was chosen by the ARS Routing Table. This
may be a trunk group number for a normal trunk group (without an IP address) or a VoIP trunk group (with an IP address).

VoIP Trunk Group 101 will point to Program 0928, table (entry) 1.
As a result, if a user dials the VoIP number 401, trunk group 101 is referred by F-Route. Then, the system checks the Program 0928 set-
ting and seizes a trunk from system trunk group 10. The call goes to address 192.178.10.2.
Special programming will be required if a remote system has two or more VoIP PCBs.
Incoming Calls
When an incoming call is detected, the VoIP PCB will be searched for an idle port on the VoIP PCB. An incoming call can be connected
to any of the ports on the PCB, so the trunk service type has to be the same for all the trunks on the same PCB.
Basic system settings are essentially the same as ISDN trunks. The routing programing is also the same. However, as incoming calls
may have a called party number, it is recommended that DID service type be used (Program 0901, Items 14-17 and 32-35 set to 3).
Incoming calls may not have a called party number or the number may not exist in the DID table. When this occurs, the DID Error Routing
will be used. Refer to the i-Series Software Manual , P/N 92000SWG**, for information on programming DID trunks.
DID rror Routing Settings
In the past, if a called party number did not exist in the Setup message, ISDN DID trunks would reject the calls. With the VoIP
H.323 incoming calls, DID error routing is used to handle the Setup message for calls without a called party number.
For example, DID Table Area #1 is being used, routing to trunk ring group 10.
●
Check the first DID table number in the DID table area (Program 1805).
The first table is 0001.
●
Program ’ 1 ’ for the DID intercepted call vacant number option (Program 1810).

Conditions
●
Programmable Function Keys: Do not program a trunk key with a VoIP trunk port.
●
If Gatekeeper is not used, F-Route or ARS must be used.
●
If Gatekeeper is used, the 124i Enhanced system cannot specify an IP address.
●
DTMF Relay: If you want to use DTMF tones on VoIP trunks, the calling party ’ s system has to support User Input
(H.245), otherwise the tone will not be detected.
Example: DID/DISA trunks or voice mail
DTMF relay mode must enabled in Program 0153, Item 8 for the VoIP Unit.
●
F-Route codes do not work with ast Number Redial.
●
F-Route does not work with automatic redial.
●
SMDR prints out the Called Party Number as dialed number digits. If the dial treatment deletes the F-Route code, that
F-Route code will not appear on the SMDR report.
●
Program 0901 - Basic Trunk Port Setup (PartA), Item 3: CODEC Gain Type does not work forVoIP trunks. See Program
0154 instead.
●
Echo-Canceller (DSP): The echo canceller will eliminate an echo by subtracting the predicted value from receive-gain level. If
highway gain has been added, DSP could receive unpredictable gain level. If this happens, the echo cannot be eliminated. If the
gain was added by some system outside of the 124i Enhanced, an echo may occur. This is unavoidable.
●
It is recommended that the i-Series system with a VOIPU PCB not be placed behind a firewall. Firewalls restrict access to
TCP/UDP ports, some of which are utilized by the VOIPU.
●
To ensure adequate speech quality, it is recommended that QoS (Quality of Service) is implemented on any routers or switch-
ing hubs in the VoIP network. Refer to the router’s manual for further information.
●
If the i-Series system with a VOIPU PCB is installed behind a router with NAT (NetworkAddress Translation) enabled, it is
necessary to use H.323 masquerading. (The router must have H.323 Masquerading. The H.323 setup message contains the
local IP address in a Q.931 UUS Information element. This local IP address in the UUS IE must be modified from the router.
The router has to replace the local IP with the global IP. This feature is not available on all routers. Refer to your router’s man-
ual for further information.) In case the registering at a Gatekeeper is not located in the local network, the router has to mas-
querade the RAS protocol as well. Note that the misconfigured router may cause one-way speech path connections.
Installation
●
A Switching Hub with Auto-Negotiation Feature or 100M Switching Hub is strongly reco ended.
●
The VoIP PCB is Radvision co patible.
●
A Gatekeeper, if used, ust be Radvision co patible.

➻Program 0901 - Basic Trunk Port Setup (PartA), Item 23: Unsupervised Conference Call CODEC Gain Type
Conference calls may experience an echo. To prevent this, the conference gain settings have been changed for VoIP
trunks. If there is aVoIP trunk on a conference circuit, the gain setting will be changed for the conference member who is
on a trunk or single line telephone. In these cases, the gain setting in this program will be used for those conference mem-
bers. If there are two VoIP trunks in the conference, the gain setting from either port will be chosen by the system. The
value of the gain should be lower than 0 dB, otherwise an echo will occur.
Refer to Program 0154 for infor ation on DSP gain settings.
Range:
Type 1: 1 (0 dB transmit and receive gain)
Type 2: 42 (-5 dB transmit and receive gain)

Firmware Upgrade
The VoIP PCB provides a PCMCIA card slot for firmware upgrades. This slot can only accept an ATA PC card. It should be noted that
this card is NOT the sa e PC card used to update telephone syste software. Using the following steps will allow you to use the ATA
PC card to update the firmware of the VoIP PCB.
1. Remove the VoIP PCB from the system cabinet.
The syste should re ain powered up. If it has been powered down, wait until the syste co pletely reboots or the VoIP PCB
fir ware update will not be co pleted.
2. Insert the PCMCIA card containing the firmware update into the PCMCIA card slot on the PCB.
3. Press and hold the red load switch located on the VoIP PCB and insert the PCB back into the system cabinet.
4. Continue holding in the load switch until the P T and ED1 EDs are lit on the VoIP PCB.
The syste starts the fir ware update. LEDs on the PCB will start to light fro the highest port to the lowest (8, 7, 6, etc.).
5. Once all EDs except the CD ED are off, the updating process is complete.
The PCB will reboot auto atically.
6. Remove the PCMCIA card from the PCB.
The CDLED will go out.
