The device runs under Linux operating system. Basic control functions are performed by Realtek processor
which enables IP packet routing, VoIP operation, group traffic proxing and etc.
The device may functionally be divided into four block:

Support block of the device network functions;


VoIP block;
Multicast-traffic processing block;
Control block (Linux operating system).

____________________________________________________________________________________
TAU-2M.IP Gateway

____________________________________________________________________________________
Support block of the device network functions enables IP packet transmission and switching according to
the device routing table; depending on the network interface configuration, can process both tagged and
untagged frames. Supports DHCP, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP.
VoIP block enables SIP protocol operation for transmission of voice signals through the network that
features packet switching. Subscriber's voice signal is transferred to SLIC subscriber unit module to be digitized.
Digitized signal is transferred to VoIP block to be encoded using one of the selected standards and is transferred
further in the form of digital packets to the controller via the intrasystem backbone. In addition to voice signals,
digital packets contain control and interaction signals.
Multicast traffic processing block enables processing of IGMP messages and multicast traffic for IPTV
functions support.
Control block based on Linux operating system monitors operation of all the other blocks and the device
subsystems and manages their interaction.

PPTP and L2TP allow establishing secure communication link over the Internet
between the remote user's computer and organization's private network. PPTP and
L2TP are based on Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) and act as its extension. First, the OSI
model higher level data is encapsulated into PPP, and then into PPTP or L2TP for
tunnel transmission via public data networks. PPTP and L2TP functionality differs.
L2TP may be used not only in IP networks, service messages for tunnel creation and
data transfer use the same format and protocols. PPTP may be used only in IP
networks, it requires a dedicated TCP connection for tunnel creation and usage. L2TP
over IPSec1 allows for the higher security level compared to PPTP and provides the
higher level of protection for business-critical data.
Due to its characteristics, L2TP is an attractive protocol for building virtual networks.

IPSec settings:
In this section, you may configure IPSec encryption (IP Security).
IPSec is a set of protocols used for protection of data transmitted via Internet Protocol that enables
authentication, integrity check and/or encryption of IP packets. IPsec also includes secure Internet Key Exchange
protocols.
In the current firmware version, you may only access the device management interfaces (Web, Telnet,
SSH) using IPSec.

Enableenable IPSec protocol utilization for data encryption.


Interfacethis setting takes effect only when PPPoE, PPTP or L2TP are selected for the Internet,
and defines the interface that will be accessed with IPSec: Ethernet (secondary access interface)
or PPP (primary access interface). When DHCP or Static protocol is selected, there is only a single
interface (Ethernet) active for the service that may be accessed with IPSec only.
Local IP addressdevice address for IPSec operation.
Local subnet address together with Local subnet mask define a local subnet for creation of
network-to-network or network-to-point topologies.

Remote subnet address together with Remote subnet mask define a remote subnet address used
for IPSec-encrypted communication. If the mask value is 255.255.255.255, communication is
performed with a single host. Mask that differs from 255.255.255.255 allows you to define a
whole subnet. Thus, device features allow you to establish 4 network topologies that utilize IPSec
traffic encryption: Point-to-Point, Network-to-Point, Point-to-Network, Network-to-Network.
Remote gatewaygateway used for remote network access.
NAT-Traversal IPsec NAT-T mode selection. NAT-T (NAT Traversal) encapsulates IPSec traffic and
simultaneously creates UDP packets to be sent correctly by a NAT device. For this purpose, NAT-T
adds an additional UDP header before IPSec packet so it would be processed as an ordinary UDP
packet and the recipient host would not perform any integrity checks. When the packet arrives to
the destination, UDP header is removed and the packet goes further as an encapsulated
IPSecpacket. With NAT-T technique, you may establish communication between IPSec clients in
secured networks and public IPSec hosts via firewalls. NAT-T operation modes:
OnNAT-T mode is activated only when NAT is detected on the way to the destination
host;
Forceuse NAT-T in any case;
Offdisable NAT-T on connection establishment.
The following NAT-T settings are available:
NAT-T UDP portUDP port for packets for IPSec message encapsulation. Default value is
4500;
NAT-T keepalive packet transmission interval, secondsperiodic message transmission
interval for UDP connection keepalive on the device performing NAT functions.
Aggressive modephase 1 operation mode when all the necessary information is exchanged
using three unencrypted packets. In the main mode, the exchange process involves six
unencrypted packets.

Identifier format depends on the type.

Phase 1 During the first step (phase), two hosts negotiate on the identification method, encryption
algorithm, hash algorithm and Diffie Hellman group. Also, they identify each other. For phase 1, there are the
following settings:

IKE SA lifetime, secondstime that should pass for hosts' mutual re-identification and policy
comparison (other name 'IKE SA lifetime'). Default value is 24 hours (86400 seconds).

Phase 2 During the second step, key data is generated, hosts negotiate on the utilized policy. This mode
also called as 'quick mode'differs from the phase 1 in that it may be established after the first step only, when
all the phase 2 packets are encrypted.

SIP parameters

Profile includeslist of subscriber ports that the profile is assigned to; this field cannot be
changed.
Profile namecustom name of the configured profile.
Proxy pmode select SIP server operation mode from the drop-down list:

Off;
Parking SIP-proxy redundancy mode without main SIP-proxy management;
HomingSIP-proxy redundancy mode with main SIP-proxy management.

Gateway may operate with a single main SIP-proxy and up to four redundant SIP-proxies. For
exclusive operations with the main SIP-proxy, 'Parking' and 'Homing' modes are identical. In this
case, if the main SIP-proxy fails, it will take time to restore its operational status.

____________________________________________________________________________________
50

TAU-2M.IP Gateway

____________________________________________________________________________________
For operations with redundant SIP-proxies, 'Parking' and 'Homing' modes will work as
follows. The gateway sends INVITE message to the main SIP-proxy address when performing
outgoing call, and REGISTER message when performing registration attempt. If on expiration
of 'Invite total timeout' there is no response from the main SIP-proxy or response 408 or 503
is received, the gateway sends INVITE (or REGISTER) message to the first redundant SIP-proxy
address. If it is not available, the request is forwarded to the next redundant SIP-proxy and so
forth. When available redundant SIP-proxy is found, registration will be renewed on that SIPproxy.
Next, the following actions will be available depending on the selected redundancy mode:
1 In the 'parking' mode, the main SIP-proxy management is absent, and the gateway will
continue operation with the redundant SIP-proxy even when the main proxy operation
is restored. If the connection to the current SIP-proxy is lost, querying of the subsequent
SIP-proxies will be continued using the algorithm described above. If the last redundant
SIP-proxy is not available, the querying will continue in a cycle, beginning from the main
SIP-proxy.
2 In the 'homing' mode, three types of the main SIP-proxy management are available:
periodic transmission of OPTIONS messages to its address, periodic transmission of
REGISTER messages to its address, or transmission of INVITE request when performing
outgoing call. First of all, INVITE request is sent to the main SIP-proxy, and if it is
unavailable, then to the next redundant one, etc. Regardless of the management type,
when the main SIP-proxy operation is restored, gateway will use it to renew its
registration. The gateway will begin operation with the main SIP-proxy.

Public IP addressthis parameter is used as an external address of the device when it operates
behind the NAT (gateway). As a public address, you may specify an external address (WAN) of a
gateway (NAT) that TAU-2M.IP operates through. At that, on the gateway (NAT), you should
forward the corresponding SIP and RTP ports used by the device;
Use SIP Display Name in registerwhen seleced, use username in 'SIP Display Info' field of the

send a ringback tone remotely to the caller.
100reluse reliable provisional responses (RFC3262):
supportedreliable provisional responses are supported;
requiredreliable provisional responses are mandatory;
offreliable provisional responses are disabled.
SIP protocol defines two types of responses for connection initiating request (INVITE)
provisional and final. 2, 3, 4, 5 6-class responses are final and their transfer is reliable,
with ACK message confirmation. 1-class responses, except for '100 Trying' response, are
provisional, without confirmation (rfc3261). These responses contain information on the current
INVITE request processing step, therefore loss of these responses is unacceptable. Utilization of
reliable provisional responses is also stated in SIP (rfc3262) protocol and defined by '100rel' tag
presence in the initiating request. In this case, provisional responses are confirmed with PRACK
message.

and used for service management.

XCAP name for call hold name of the XML element located in the 'Notify' message body that is
used for transmission of 'Call hold' enabling/disabling commands. For example, if the service
name value is 'call-hold', enabling command will be as follows:
<call-hold active="true"/>
Disabling command:
<call-hold active="false"/>
XCAP name for call waiting name of the XML element located in the 'Notify' message body that
is used for transmission of 'Call waiting' enabling/disabling commands. For example, if the service
name value is 'call-waiting', enabling command will be as follows:
<call-waiting active="true"/>
Disabling command:
<call-waiting active="false"/>
XCAP name for three-party conference name of the XML element located in the 'Notify'
message body that is used for transmission of 'Three-way conference call' enabling/disabling
commands. For example, if the service name value is 'three-party-conference', enabling command
will be as follows:
<three-party-conference active="true"/>
Disabling command:
<three-party-conference active="false"/>
XCAP name for hotline name of the XML element located in the 'Notify' message body that is
used for transmission of 'Hotline' enabling command. In the enabling command, you should pass

____________________________________________________________________________________

the hotline number and the call timeout. For example, if the service name value is 'hot-lineservice' and you should call the number 30001 in 6 seconds after the phone handset is picked up,
the enabling command will be as follows:
<hot-line-service>
<addr>30001</addr>
<timeout>6</timeout>
</hot-line-service>
If the enabling command is not received, the 'Hotline' service will be disabled.
XCAP name for call transfer name of the XML element located in the 'Notify' message body that
is used for transmission of 'Three-way conference call' enabling/disabling commands. For
example, if the service name value is 'call-transfer', enabling command will be as follows:
<call-transfer active="true"/>
Disabling command:
<call-transfer active="false"/>

By default, if the enabling command is not received, all the services mentioned above are disabled.
Dialplan
To define the numbering schedule, use regular expressions in the 'Numbering schedule configuration'
field.
The structure and format of regular expressions that enable different dialling features are listed below.
Structure of regular expressions:
Sxx, Lxx ( ),
where
arbitrary values of S and L timers;
() dialling plan margings.

Basis is the designations used for the dialled digit sequence recording. Digit sequence is recorded
using several designationsdigits dialled from the phone keypad: 0, 1, 2, 3, , 9, #, and *. If you
use # in the dialplan, you may block the dialling completion using this key!
Digit sequence enclosed in square brackets corresponds to any character enclosed in these
brackets.

Use a hyphen to define a range of characters. Mostly used inside square brackets.

Example 1: (15)any digit from 1 to 5.


Example 2: ([1-39])example listed above in the different entry format.

'X' character corresponds to any digit from 0 to 9.

Example: ([1239])corresponds to any digit1, 2, 3, or 9.

Example: (1XX)any 3-digit number that begins with 1.

'.' repeat previous character from 0 ad infinitum.


+repeat previous character from 1 ad infinitum.
{a,b}repeat previous character from 'a' to 'b' times.
{a,}repeat previous character more than 'a' times.
{,b}repeat previous character less than 'b' times.

____________________________________________________________________________________
TAU-2M.IP Gateway

55

____________________________________________________________________________________

Example: (810X.) international number with any quantity of digits.

Settings affecting dialplan configuration:

Interdigit Long Timer ('L' character in numbering plan record)entry timeout for the next digit, if
there are no templates that correspond to the dialled combination;
Interdigit Short Timer('S')entry timeout for the next digit, if the dialled combination fully
matches at least one template and if there is at least one template that requires an extension
dialling for the full match.

Additional features:
1.

Dialled sequence replacement

Syntax: <arg1:arg2>
This feature allows you to replace the dialled sequence with any dialled character sequence. At that,
the second argument should be defined with the specific value, both arguments may be empty.

2.

Example: (<83812:> XXXXXX)this record will correspond to dialled digits 83812, but this
sequence will be skipped and will not be sent to the SIP server.

Tone insertion into dialling

For long-distance access (for city access in case of office PBX), it is common to hear a PBX response,
that may be implemented by inserting comma in a sequence of digits.

3.

Example: (8, 770)when number 8770 is dialled, the continuous tone will be played after
the digit '8'.

Dialling restriction.

When you specify an exclamation mark '!' at the end of the number template, dialling of numbers
corresponding to the template will be blocked.

4.

Example: (8 10Xxxxxxxx ! | 8 xxx xxxxxxx )expression allows long-distance dialling only


and denies outgoing international calls.

Replacement of dialling timer values

Timer values may be specified for the entire dialplan, as well as for the specific template only. 'S'
character deals with the 'Interdigit Short Timer', and 'L' with the 'Interdigit Long Timer' setting. Timer
values may be specified for all templates in the dialplan, when values are listed before the opening
parenthesis.
Example: S4 (8XXX.) or S4,L8 (XXX)
If these values are listed in one sequence only, they are effective only for this sequence. At that, you
are not required to delimit the key and timeout value with the colon, value may be specified anywhere
within the template.

5.

Example: (S48XXX. | XXX) or ([1-5] XX S0)record will trigger an instant call transfer,
when the 3-digit number beginning with 1,2, , 5 is dialled.

Direct address dialling (IP Dialing)

'@' placed after the number defines that the dialled call will be sent to the subsequent server address.
We recommend using 'IP Dialing', as well as call reception and transmission without registration (Call
Without Reg, Answer Without Reg). This may help when the server fails.
Also, IP Dialling address format may be used for numbers intended for the call forwarding.

Example 1: ( 8 xxx xxxxxxx )11-digit number beginning with 8.


Example 2: ( 8 xxx xxxxxxx | <:8495>xxxxxxx )11-digit number beginning with 8; if 7-digit
number is dialled, add 8495 to the number being sent.

____________________________________________________________________________________
56

TAU-2M.IP Gateway

____________________________________________________________________________________

Example 3: (0[123] | 8 [2-9]xx [2-9]xxxxxx)dialling of emergency call numbers and


unusual sets of long-distance numbers.
Example 4: (S0<:82125551234>)quickly dial the specified number, similar to 'Hotline'
mode on other gateways.
Example 5: (S5 <:1000> | xxxx)this dialplan allows to dial any number that contains
digits, and if there was no entry in 5 seconds, dial number '1000' (for example, it belongs
to a secretary).
Example 6: (*5x*xxxx*x#|*2x*xxxxxxxxxxx#|#xx#|[2-7]xxxxx|8,
[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|8,
10x.|1xx<:@10.110.60.51:5060>).
Example 7: (1xx|0[1-9]|00[1-8]|*5x*xxxx*x#|*2x*xxxxxxxxxxx#|#xx#|[2-7]xxxxx|8, [29]xxxxxxxxx|8, 10x.).

Sometimes you have to make calls locally inside of the device. In this case, if IP address of a device is
not known or periodically changed, you may use the reserved "{local}" word as the server address. It
means sending an appropriate sequence of digits to the own device address.

Example: (123@{local}) 123 dialing number will be processed inside of the device locally.

Voice codecs configuration


The signal processor of the device encodes analogue voice traffic and fax/modem data into digital signal
and performs its reverse decoding. Gateway supports the following voice codec: G.711A, G.711U, G.729, G723.1.
G.711 is a PCM codec that does not employ a compression of voice data. This codec must be supported by
all VoIP equipment manufacturers. G.711A and G.711U codecs differ from each other in encoding law (-law is a
linear encoding and U-law is non-linear). The U-law encoding is used in North America, and the A-law
encodingin Europe.
G.723.1 is a voice data compression codec, allows for two operation modes: 6.3kbps and 5.3kbps. G.723.1
codec has a voice activity detector and performs comfort noise generation at the remote end during period of
silence.
G.729 is also a voice data compression codec with the rate of 8kbps. As with G.723.1, G.729 codec
supports voice activity detector and performs comfort noise generation.

Codec 1..4allows you to select codecs and the order of their usage. The highest priority codec
should be specified in the 'Codec 1' field. For operation, you should specify at least one codec:

Disabledcodec will not be used;


G.711ause G.711A codec;
G.711uuse G.711U codec;
G.723use G.723.1 codec;
G.729use G.729 codec.

Packet timeamount of voice data in milliseconds (ms) transmitted in a single RTP packet for the
corresponding codec (G.711, G.729, G.723).
Dispersion time, msparameter that cancels an echo caused by the voice signal dispersion.
Parameter values may be specified in the interval from 2 ms to 128 ms.

NOTE! You may specify alternative voice codecs for the selected direction. For each direction, you may
specify the preferred codec for voice communication in the numbering plan. Configuration is performed in the
numbering plan. For each direction, an additional codec configuration may be specified in parentheses after the
'codecs:' word.

____________________________________________________________________________________
TAU-2M.IP Gateway

57

____________________________________________________________________________________
If you have to use multiple codecs, you may separate them with a comma ','. Multiple parameters may be
specified for a single direction. In this case, separate them with a semicolon ';'
(param1:subparam1,subparam2;param2:subparam1,subparam2). subparamX permitted values: 'g711a', 'g711u',
'g729', 'g723'.
param1 and param2 permitted values'codecs' and 'rfc2833_PT' respectively.
Example: ([23]xxx(codecs:g729; rfc2833_PT:96)|8x.(codecs:g711a;g711u)).
Jitter buffer
Jitter is a deviation of time periods dedicated to packet delivery. Packet delivery delay and jitter are
measured in milliseconds. Jitter value is higher for real time data transfers (e.g. voice or video data).
In RTP, also known as 'media stream protocol', there is a field for precision transmission time tag related
to the whole RTP stream. Receiving device uses these time tags to learn when to expect the packet and whether
the packet order has been observed. On the basis of this information, the receiving side will learn how to
configure its settings in order to evade potential network problems such as delays and jitter. If the expected
time for packet delivery from the source to the destination for the whole call period corresponds to the defined
value, e.g. 50ms, it is fair to say that there is no jitter in such a network. But packets are delayed in the network
frequently, and the delivery time period may fluctuate significantly (in the context of time-critical traffic). If the
audio or video recipient application will play packets in the order of their reception time, voice (or video) quality
will deteriorate significantly. For example, if the voice data is being transferred, there will be interruptions and
interference in the voice.
The device features the following jitter buffer settings:

Min delay, msminimum expected IP package network propagation delay;


Max delay, msmaximum expected IP package network propagation delay;
Deletion Threshold (DT), msmaximum amount of time for voice package removal from the
buffer. The parameter value should be greater or equal to maximum delay;
Jitter factorparameter used for jitter buffer size optimization. Recommended value is 0.

Fax and modem transfer


Fax may be transmitted using 711 voice codec or T.38 specialized codec for sending facsimile messages.
T.38 is a standard for sending facsimile messages in real time over IP networks. Signals and data sent by
the fax unit are copied to T.38 protocol packets. Generated packets may feature redundancy data from previous
packets that allows you to perform reliable fax transmissions through unstable channels.

Modem transferselect a codec to be used for data transmission when the gateway detects
modem signals:

Offmodem signals will not be detected;


G.711a VBDuse G.711A codec in VBD mode;
G.711u VBDuse G.711U codec in VBD mode.

In VBD (Voice band data) mode, the gateway disables voice activity detection (VAD), comfort noise
generator (CNG), and echo cancellers; this is necessary for establishing a modem connection.

Selected codec should also be enabled in voice codec list.

Fax codec 1..3you may select a codec and the .and an order of their usage. The highest priority
codec should be specified in the 'Fax codec 1' field. For operation, you should specify at least one
codec:

Offcodec will not be used;


G.711ause G.711A codec;
G.711uuse G.711U codec;
T.38use T.38 protocol.

All fax codecs should be different! Also, when G.711a or G.711u codec is selected,
the respective codec should be enabled in the device voice codec list.

Take the transition to T.38when seleced, incoming re-inviteto T.38 from the opposite gateway
will be enabled.
T.38 redundancy countadd redundancy to T.38 packets; the value corresponds to the number of
previous packets which is duplicated in each new T.38 packet. Such redundancy method is
intended for packet loss during transmission.

incoming call. To do it, user should dial intercept code and after that connection with the calling user will be
established.
Pay attention that the call interception is possible only when called client and picking up client use the
same SIP profile.
Pickup group can be used together with call group if all the call group ports are contained in pickup group.
In this case, port is contained in pickup group can intercept incoming call of group number.
If subscriber is dialing code at the moment when group or phone port does not get calls, Busy tone will
be transmitted to subscriber.

3.6.3.8 Cadence submenu


In the 'Cadence' submenu, you may configure an alternative call control signal (cadence) depending on
the caller number or 'Alert-Info' header value in the incoming 'Invite'. Cadence value for each call signal is
represented by the sequence of alternating pulses and pauses delimited by ',' or ';'. Pulse/pause duration should
be defined in milliseconds and divisible by 100. Minimum pulse/pause duration is 200 ms, maximum is 8,000 ms.
To map a specific cadence to 'Alert-Info' header value in the incoming 'Invite', you should select the
'Process Alert-Info header' checkbox in the respective SIP profile, and define the signal name in 'Signal name'
field in cadence settings (e.g. Example-cadence). When 'Alert-Info' header value in the incoming 'Invite' is
<http://127.0.0.1/Example-cadence>, cadence will be output into the line.
If the cadence is not found by the 'Alert-Info' header, attempt to find the cadence by the caller number
will be taken. If the latter is absent, the standard call signal with the cadence '1000,4000' will be output.

with ACS server via the secure protocolHTTPS. By default, ACS server produced by Eltex utilizes port
9595 for communication;
Enable periodic informwhen selected, integrated TR-069 client performs periodic ACS server polling
at intervals equal to 'Polling period' value, in seconds. Goal of the polling is to identify possible
changes in the device configuration.

ACS connection request:

Username, passwordusername and password used by client to access ACS server.

Client connection request:


Username, passwordusername and password used by ACS server to access TR-069 client.
NAT settings
If there is a NAT (network address translation) between the client and ACS server, ACS server may not be
able to establish the connection to client without specific technologies intended to prevent such situations.
These technologies allow the client to identify its so called public address (NAT address or in other words
external address of a gateway, that covers the client). When public address is identified, the client reports it to
the server that uses this public address for establishing connection to the client in the future.

NAT modeidentifies the method, that will be used by client for obtaining its public address
information. The following modes are possible:

STUNuse STUN protocol for public NAT address discovery;


Manualmanual mode, when public address is explicit in configuration; in this mode, you
should add a forwarding rule on a device that acts as a NAT for TCP port used by TR-069
client;
OffNAT will not be usedthis mode is recommended only when the device is directly
connected to ACS server without network address translation. In this case public address
will match local client address.

When choosing STUN mode, you should define the following settings:

STUN server addressSTUN server IP address or domain name;


STUN server portSTUN server UDP port (default value is 3478);
Minimum keep alive period, seconds and Maximum keep alive period, secondsdefine the time
interval in seconds for periodic transmission of messages to STUN server in order to identify
public address modification.

When Manual mode is selected, client public address should be entered manually with NAT address
setting (in IPv4 format).
For correct ACS server operation behind the NAT, STUN server minimum polling period should be
less than maximum session time provided by the NAT device.
TR-069 protocol allows for comprehensive device configuration, software updates, reading device
information (software version, model, serial number, etc.), complete configuration file downloading/uploading,
remote device restart (TR-069, TR-098, TR-104 specifications are supported).

4 VALUE ADDED SERVICE USAGE


4.1 Call transfer
Call transfer service may be performed locally using gateway resources or using resources of a
communicating device. If the service is performed using resources of a communicating device, the access to 'Call
transfer' service is established via subscriber port settings menu'VoIP' -> 'Line configuration'by selecting
'Transmit Flash' value in 'Flash operation mode' field. Service process logics in this case will be defined by the
communicating device.
When 'Call transfer' service is performed locally using gateway resources, the access to this service is
established via subscriber port settings menu'VoIP' -> 'Line configuration'by selecting 'Attended calltransfer'
or 'Unattended calltransfer' in 'Flash operation mode' field.
'Attended calltransfer' service allows you to temporarily disconnect an online subscriber (Subscriber A),
establish connection with another subscriber (Subscriber C) and return to the previous connection without
dialling or transfer the call while disconnecting Subscriber B.
'Attended calltransfer' service usage:
While being in a call state with the subscriber A, put him on hold with short clearback flash (R), wait for
station response signal and dial subscriber C number. When Subscriber C answers, the following operations will
be possible:

R 0disconnect a subscriber on hold, connect to online subscriber;


R 1disconnect an online subscriber, connect to subscriber on hold;
R 2switch to another subscriber (change a subscriber);
R 3conference;
R 4call transfer; voice connection will be established between Subscribers A and C;
R 4call transfer; voice connection will be established between Subscribers A and C;
R clearbackcall transfer; voice connection will be established between Subscribers A and C.

Figure below shows 'Attended calltransfer' service operation algorithm:

____________________________________________________________________________________
98

TAU-2M.IP Gateway

____________________________________________________________________________________
'Unattended calltransfer' service allows you to put an online subscriber (Subscriber ) on hold with a short
clearback flash and dial another subscriber's number (Subscriber ). Call will be transferred automatically when
Subscriber B finishes dialling the number.
Figure below shows 'Unattended calltransfer' service operation algorithm.

Local calltransfer service allows you to transfer call through the gateway without sending the external
REFER message if C subscriber is a local TAU-2M.IP client and its call was directly perfomed with ignoring of the
proxy server. If C subscriber is external or local client which was called via proxy server, Local calltransfer
service operates like Attended calltransfer and call transfer is performed by sending REFER message to the B
subscriber.

4.2 Call Waiting


This service allows you to inform "busy" subscribers about new incoming calls with a special signal.
Upon receiving this notification, user can answer or reject waiting call.
Access to this service is established via subscriber line settings menu by selecting 'Attended calltransfer',
or 'Unattended calltransfer' in the 'flash operation mode' field and selecting 'Call waiting' checkbox.
Service usage:
If you receive a new call while being in a call state, you may do the following:

R 0reject a new call;


R 1answer the waiting call;
R 2switch to a new call (change a subscriber);
Rshort clearback (flash).

4.3 Three-way conference call


Three-way conference is a service, that enables simultaneous phone communication for 3 subscribers. Press
R 3 keys to enter the conference mode (see Section 4.1 Call transfer ).
Subscriber that started the conference is deemed to be it's initiator, two other subscribers are the
participants.
There are two operation modes for a three-way conference: local mode and remote mode. In the first
mode, the conference is assembled locally by the initiating subscriber; in the second mode, the conference is
established remotely by a remote server, also known as the conference server.

4.3.1 Local conference


In the conference mode, short clearback 'flash' pressed by the initiator is ignored. Signalling protocol
messages, received from the participants and intended to put the initiator side into hold mode, force this
participant to leave the conference. At that, the initiator and the second participant will switch into the ordinary
two-party call mode.
The conference terminates, when initiator leaves; in this case, both participants will receive clearback
message. If one of the participants leaves the conference, the initiator and the second participant will switch
into a standard two party call. Short flash clearback is processed as described in Sections 4.1 Call transfer 4.2
Call Waiting.
Figure below shows an algorithm of '3-way conference' service performed locally by the Subscriber B via SIP
protocol.

TAU-2M.IP Gateway

____________________________________________________________________________________

4.3.2 Remote conference


Conference operation complies with the algorithm described in RFC4579. The special aspect of the
algorithm is that the initiating subscriber should press flash+3 in order to establish connection with the
conference server (also called 'focus'), and request the focus to connect to remaining conference
participants. The figure below shows detailed operation algorithm.

5 CONNECTION ESTABLISHMENT ALGORITHM


5.1 Algorithm of a Successful Call via SIP Protocol
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is a session initiation protocol, that performs basic call management tasks
such as starting and finishing session.
SIP defines 3 basic connection initiation scenarios: between users, involving proxy server, involving
forwarding server. Basic connection initiation algorithms are described in IETF RFC 3665. This section describes
an example of a connection initiation scenario via SIP between two gateways, that know each other IP addresses
in advance.

Algorithm description:
1. Subscriber A rings up Subscriber B.
2. Subscriber B gateway receives the command for processing.
3. Subscriber B is free. In this moment, 'ringing' tone is sent to the Subscriber B phone, and
'ringback' tone to Subscriber A phone.
4. Subscriber B answers the call.
5. Subscriber A gateway confirms session establishment.
6. Subscriber A clears back, 'busy' audio tone is sent to the Subscriber B.
7. Subscriber B gateway confirms received clearback command.

____________________________________________________________________________________

5.2 Call Algorithm involving SIP Proxy server


This section describes a connection initiation scenario between two gateways involving SIP proxy server.
In this case, caller gateway (Subscriber A) should know subscriber's permanent address and proxy server IP
address. SIP proxy server processes messages received from Subscriber A, discovers Subscriber B, prompts the
communication session and performs router functions for two gateways.

Subscriber B is free. In this moment, 'ringing' tone is sent to the Subscriber B phone, and
'ringback' tone to Subscriber A phone.
Subscriber B answers the call.
Subscriber A gateway confirms session establishment.
Subscriber A clears back, 'busy' audio tone is sent to the Subscriber B.
Subscriber B gateway confirms received clearback command.

5.3 Call Algorithm Involving Forwarding Server


This section describes a connection initiation scenario between two gateways involving forwarding server.
In this case, caller gateway (Subscriber A) establishes connection unassisted, and the forwarding server only
translates callee permanent address into its current address. Subscriber obtains forwarding server address from
the network administrator.

Algorithm description:
1. Subscriber A rings up Subscriber B. Call is sent to the forwarding server with the callee address
information.
2. Forwarding server receives the command for processing.
3. Forwarding server requests the information on the Subscriber B current address from the location
server. Received information (the callee current address and the list of callee registered
addresses) is sent to Subscriber A in '302 moved temporarily' message.
4. Subscriber A gateway confirms the reception of reply from the forwarding server.
5. Subscriber A rings up Subscriber B directly.
6. Subscriber B gateway receives the command for processing.
7. Subscriber B is free. In this moment, 'ringing' tone is sent to the Subscriber B phone, and
'ringback' tone to Subscriber A phone.
8. Subscriber B answers the call.
9. Subscriber A gateway confirms session establishment.
10. Subscriber A clears back, 'busy' audio tone is sent to the Subscriber B.
11. Subscriber B gateway confirms received clearback command.

6 DEVICE AUTOMATIC UPDATE ALGORITHM BASED ON DHCP

Device automatic update algorithm is defined by the 'Parameter priority from' value.
1. If the 'Static settings' value is selected, then the full path (including access protocol and server address)

to configuration file and firmware file will be defined by 'Configuration file' and 'Firmware file'
parameters. Full path should be specified in URL format (HTTP and TFTP are supported):
<protocol>://<server address>/<path to file>, where

<protocol>protocol used for downloading corresponding files from the server (HTTP and TFTP
are supported).
<server address>address of the server with a file to be downloaded (domain name or IPv4).
<path to file>path to file on the server.

You may use the following wildcards in URL (reserved words substituted with the specific values):

$MAMAC addressthis wildcard in file URL is substituted by the native device MAC address;
$SNSerial numberthis wildcard in file URL is substituted by the native device serial number;
$PNProduct namethis wildcard in file URL is substituted by the model name (e.g, TAU-2M.IP);
$SWVERSoftware versionthis wildcard in file URL is substituted by the firmware version
number;
$HWVERHardware versionthis wildcard in file URL is substituted by the device hardware
version number.

For MAC address, serial number and model name, see 'Device' section on the monitoring page.
URL examples:
tftp://download.server.loc/firmware.file,
http://192.168.25.34/configs/tau2m/my.cfg,
tftp://server.tftp/$PN/config/$SN.cfg,
http://server.http/$PN/firmware/$MA.frm, etc.

____________________________________________________________________________________
106

TAU-2M.IP Gateway

____________________________________________________________________________________
At that, some URL parameters may be omitted. For example, configuration file may be specified in the
following format:
http://192.168.18.6
or
config_tau2m.cfg
If the system is unable to extract the necessary file downloading parameters (protocol, server address
or path to file on server) from configuration file or firmware file URL, it will attempt to extract an unknown
parameter from DHCP Option 43 (Vendor specific info) or 66 (TFTP server) and 67 (Boot file name), when
address obtaining via DHCP is enabled for the Internet service (DHCP option format and analysis will be
provided below). If the system is unable to extract missing parameter from DHCP options, default value will
be used:

Protocol: tftp
Server address: update.local
Configuration file name: tau2m.cfg
Firmware file name: tau2m.fw

Thus, if you leave 'Configuration file' and 'Firmware file' fields empty, and Options 43 or 66, 67 with
file locations are not obtained via DHCP, configuration file URL will be as follows:
tftp://update.local/tau2m.cfg,
and the firmware file URL:
tftp://update.local/tau2m.fw.
2. If 'DHCP options' value is selected, configuration file and firmware file URLs will be extracted from DHCP

Option 43 (Vendor specific info) or 66 (TFTP server) and 67 (Boot file name), wherefore address
obtaining via DHCP should be enabled for the Internet service (DHCP option format and analysis will be
provided below). If DHCP options fail to provide some of the URL parameters, default parameter value
will be used.

Protocol: tftp
Server address: update.local
Configuration file name: tau1m.cfg
Firmware file name: tau1m.fw

Option 43 format (Vendor specific info)


1|<acs_url>|2|<pcode>|3|<username>|4|<password>|5|<server_url>|6|<config.file>|7|<firmware.file
>|8|<vlan_tag>
1TR-069 autoconfiguration server address code.
2'Provisioning code' parameter specification code.
3code of the username for TR-069 server authorization.
4code of the password for TR-069 server authorization.
5server address code; server address URL should be specified in the following format: tftp://address
or http://address. The first version represents TFTP server address, the second versionHTTP server address.
6configuration file name code.
7firmware file name code.
8VLAN tag code for management.

2.

Option 43 analysis

When Option 43 is received, codes 5, 6, and 7 suboptions are analyzed in order to identify the server
address and the configuration and firmware file names.
3.

Option 66 analysis

If Option 43 is not received from DHCP server or it is received but the system fails to extract the server
address, Option 66 will be discovered. If the system fails to obtain the firmware file name, Option 67 will be
discovered. They are used for TFTP server address and the firmware file path extraction respectively. Next,
configuration and firmware files will be downloaded from Option 66 address via TFTP.
Special aspects of configuration updates.
Configuration file should be in.tar.gz format (this format is used when configuration is saved from the
web interface in the 'System' - 'Configuration management' tab). Configuration downloaded from the server
will be applied automatically and does not require device reboot.
Special aspects of firmware updates.
Firmware file should be in.tar.gz format. When the firmware file is loaded, the device unpacks it and
checks its version (using 'version' file in tar.gz archive).
If the current firmware version matches the version of the file obtained via DHCP, firmware will not
be updated. Update is performed only when firmware versions are mismatched. When the firmware image
is written into the device flash memory, the Power indicator will flash green, orange and red in succession.
Do not power off or reboot the device, when the firmware image is written into the flash memory.
These actions will interrupt the firmware update, that will lead to the device boot partition
corruption. The device will become inoperable. To restore the device operation, use the instruction
provided in Section 7.

7 SYSTEM RECOVERY AFTER FIRMWARE UPDATE FAILURE


If the failure occurred during the firmware update (via Web interface or DHCP-based automatic update)
for example, you have pressed power button by accidentand the device became inoperable (Power LED is
solid red), use the following device recovery algorithm:

Extract the contents of the firmware archive.


Connect your PC to the device WAN port and specify the address for the network interface from
192.168.1.0/24 subnet.
Launch TFTP client on the PC (for Windows, we recommend using Tftpd32), specify 192.168.1.6 as
the remote host address and select linux.bin file from the extracted firmware archive.
Run the command to send the file to the remote host (Put command). File transfer to TAU-2M.IP
should start.
If the file transfer process is started, wait until it finishes, after that TAU-2M.IP will write the
firmware into the memory and launch the system automatically. Write time is approximately 5
minutes. When the device is successfully restored, the Power LED will be orange or green. Device
will retain the configuration that was used before the failure. If the device is unreachable, reset
the device to default settings.
If the file transfer is not initiated, check the PC network settings for errors and try again. If you
are unable to restore the device, send it to the service centre for repairs or connect it to the
device via COM port using special adapter (if available).

APPENDIX B. RUNNING USER-DEFINED SCRIPT UPON SYSTEM STARTUP


Sometimes, it is necessary to perform specific actions on the device startup, that may not be specified in
the configuration file settings. For this purpose, TAU-2M.IP allows you to set the user-defined script in the
configuration file. This script may feature any desired sequence of commands.
For user-defined script execution, use the following settings section in the configuration file:
UserScript:
Enable: "0"
URL: ""
'Enable' option allows (if the value is 1) or denies (if the value is 0) execution of the script which path is
specified in the URL parameter.
Executed script may be located on the remote server or on the device itself. The script may be
downloaded from the remote server via HTTP or TFTP. Consider configuration file examples for user-defined
script execution from various sources.
1. Execution from HTTP server
To execute the script from HTTP server, you should specify full path to file in HTTP-URL format
within URL parameter:
URL: http://192.168.0.250/user-script/script.sh
After the device startup, script.sh file located in the 'user-script' folder at 192.168.0.250 will be
downloaded automatically via HTTP from the server and executed afterwards.
2. Execution from TFTP server
To execute the script from TFTP server, you should specify full path to file in TFTP-URL format within
URL parameter:
URL: tftp://192.168.0.250/user-script/script.sh
After the device startup, script.sh file located in the 'user-script' folder at 192.168.0.250 will be
downloaded automatically via TFTP from the server and executed afterwards.
3. Local script execution
Due to file system specifics, local script should be located in the /etc/config folder only, as the
contents of this folder are the only one that remain after the device reboot. Script in /etc/config
folder may be created either with vi editor, or downloaded from the external TFTP server (using 'tftp
gluser.sh<TFTP-server address>' command). After creation of the script, you should set execution
permissions with 'chmod 777 /etc/config/user.sh' command.
In the configuration file, local script execution URL should be as follows:
URL: File://etc/config/user.sh
It is important to note, that the user script should begin with the '#!/bin/sh' directive.
