1 Introduction
The goal of these tests is to qualify an external application as an Alcatel Applications Partner Program solution for the Alcatel Communication Platform. The scope of the tests is the interoperability of the application with the Alcatel Communication Platform. It covers a basic or complex inter-working to ensure that services requested by the application and provided by the Communication Platform (and/or conversely) are properly completed. These tests do not verify the functional achievement of the application as well as they do not cover load capacity checks, race conditions and generally speaking any real customer's site conditions. The objective of these tests is mainly to validate the interworking with Fax machines in T38 and transparent mode connected behind AudioCodes MP112/FXS gateway that uses SIP protocol to work with OXO PBX R7.0..

2 Application information
Application type: SIP Gateway for Analog equipments as Sets, Faxes or Modems. Application commercial name: AC MP-112/FXS Application version: Interface type: 5.20 (F5.20A.025.002) SIP

Brief application description: AudioCodes box plays as a gateway for Analog sets, Faxes or Modems equipments allowing them to access to IP based telephony networks accessed using SIP or H323 IP protocols (only SIP is concerned by this campaign report, also no Modem tests have been done). This solution allows in our business context a remote connectivity for such equipments working logically as local sets for the PBXs via the IP/Internet world. The AudioCodes MediaPack series (AC MP-xxx) for analog user/station interfaces (FXS Foreign Exchange Station) support 2 to 24 analog port connections allowing up to 24 simultaneous Voip communications. This product also supports following features (out of this tests scope) as: Call reports / Security using IPSec and IKE, SSL/TLS for SIPS and HTTPS, Radius authentication, NAT, Internal Firewall / Qos handling / SNMP supported / Management of several AC boxes using a unique management application: AudioCodes EMS server.

The objective of the tests was mainly to use one OXO node and one AudioCodes gateway playing with its analog sets/Faxes trough the Private SIP Trunking connectivity to OXO, also to test Breakin and out with equipments behind PublicSTNetwork. Some tests have also been done using the full connectivity of this platform (ie both OXO and Both AudioCodes equipments) mainly for simple calls, Forwarded and some Transfer calls.

4 Summary of test results


4.1 Important Remark:
Concerning this campaign, functional feature tests concerning telephonic services that AudioCodes analog sets could activate (broker and corresponding situations, Transfers, Conferences) have actually not been tested because: - existing anomalies (the already found/known have not yet been corrected (It concerns Transfer problems) - these features are also actually not supported by OXO Product (R&D) when activated by AudioCodes analog sets. For these features the tests concerned the situation where the AudioCodes set are implied in (and not where these sets are activating services). The other tests concerned mainly FAX communications. Several points are related again in this report giving the current whole status of the subject.

4.2 Summary of main functions supported


The main supported functions implied in the test campaign are: Installation and configuration of the AudioCodes gateway Compatibility with OXO SIP Private Trunking Basic communications (internal and external) Check telephonic features (Basic Call, Broker call, Transfer, Conference, Forwards with internal and/or external correspondents). Supports all kind of numbering Abbreviated Number, internal and external numbers) DDI number can be used for the AC Analog equipments, for incoming and outgoing calls. Access to the OXO Voice mail boxes and MF dialling for navigation Multi Frequency sending in conversation/connected state Different kind of Codec compressions can be used: G711, G729, G723. Fax G3 and SuperG3 Check.

4.3 Summary of problems


Problems found during this campaign
FAX communication: Problem when a Fax is in a Queued situation. At the end of the current comm, the waiting Fax communication cannot be established. -> It seems to be an AudioCodes problem. FAX communication: In the architecture implying 2 OXO PBX, when an AudioCodes FAX is forwarded to another one, the caller Fax communication stays in a permanent Progress state. Same default occurs with analog sets. -> This is an OXO problem Transparent FAX communication: If configured so, OXO doesnt accept no transparent Fax requests (No adaptation to T38). (Enhancement request) Transparent FAX communication: If configured so, OXO doesnt accept the AudioCodes Fallback T38/G711 negotiation feature.

Alcatel Applications Partner Program Inter-working report

Edition 1 Page 9

An AudioCodes set (through SIP trunk) calls an ISDN destination with CLIR, => a Caller number is nevertheless generated to ISDN. => This is an OXO problem. An AudioCodes Forward to ISDN leads to an inaccessible call that can never be established => This is an OXO problem.

Still Open Problems found during previous campaign:


Unsuccessful transfer from the Audiocode device if attribute Hold Format is 0000 ( default value ) Transfer failure when transferor is the called set and an Audiocode device

4.4 Summary of limitations


Found during this campaign

Limitations due to previous problems paragraph

Found during previous campaign;


Successful transfer from the Audiocode device if parameter Hold Format is send only Conf call initiated by Audiocode not possible Call Back feature is not working/not possible. . A call back cannt be requested after calling an AC set which doesnt answer. . No Call Back is registered by OXO if an AC set calls an OXO set which doesnt answer, and the AC set cannt activate a Callback request. -> It is a normal limitation on SIP trunking, even if Private trunking. For Transfer features if more than 2 nodes or gateways are implied within, only OXO Heterogeneous SIP mode is supported (=> it is not working in Homogeneous mode)

4.5 Notes, remarks


Anomalies crms1968 and 2211 are Closed / NTIA after meeting decisions Anomaly crms1916 concerning MF transmission has been corrected and validated Anomalies crms1861(Voip board reste) and 2026 Transfer Pb with Refer) are still open: In treatment

6 Testing
Convention: In the following chapters: AC may be used in place of AudioCodes The Analog set(s) connected to the AudioCodes gateway will be named AC set or AC set1, AC set2, or AC fax for a Fax machine. OXO Fax is a directly connected Fax to the OXO PBX.

6.1 Configurations aspects


6.1.1 Objective
This chapter gives principle information on configuration aspects and summaries the minimum well configurations on OXO and AC sides to be able for the AC sets to work well and easily for the EndUser. Configuration details examples are given in the Annexes. OXO Aspects: The VoIP feature is subject to Licenses. To configure analog sets to be working behind the AudioCodes gateway, a corresponding VoIP Trunk and Access have to be configured and trunk channels to be defined. The ARS (Automatic Routing Selection) mechanism is used to access to such sets. This implies the Internal Numbering Plan configuration for the AC sets Directory Numbers declared with use of ARS function. An ARS Prefix has to be defined for the Dialing numbers range, Prefix, Gateway address, Protocol and Codec configurations. Private configuration of the ARS entry is used in this topology. The Private Numbering Plan is used and has to be configured for the numbers the AC sets will have to dial. Barring and Link category have to be checked to allow the connectivity between the SIP end equipments and the trunk they use, and the other sets or trunks of the installation. The End of Numbering policy may to be adapted for trunk connectivity dialings. Transfer from External to External may be set in the System Particularities configuration.

14 Appendix F: Alcatel-Lucent escalation process in case of problem with a certified external application (referenced in the AAPP)
Introduction
The purpose of this document is to define the split of responsibilities and the escalation process to be applied by the Business Partners when facing a problem with a solution involving an AlcatelLucent platform and an external application with a valid Alcatel-Lucent Inter-working report.

As for other Alcatel-Lucent equipment, the Alcatel-Lucent business partner is the only one facing the end-customer for support or maintenance. The Business partner will open cases (service request) either on Alcatel-Lucent side or on Application Partner side depending on the nature of the issue. Expert from both companies will collaborate to provide the best and quickest correction.

General Rules
The following general rules are applied: Only certified AAPP applications are officially supported by Alcatel-Lucent The certification is based on tests suite passed by Alcatel-Lucent and the Application Partner and the result is consigned into an Inter-Working Report (IWR) validated by the two parties. The IWR is available on the AAPP Web site. Only the major releases of both parties are certified. Certification tests are usually not performed for intermediate versions. Only the existence of the IWR in the AAPP Web site for the right Alcatel-Lucent release is the guarantee that the application has been certified with this Alcatel-Lucent release. If the IWR for the Alcatel-Lucent release is not available, Alcatel-Lucent doesnt engage responsibility. In that case, please contact the central Pre-Sales team. The existence of the IWR engages Alcatel-Lucent and the Application Partner. Both are engaged, not exclusively Alcatel-Lucent (see the section escalation process).

any

parties

Warning: The possibility to configure the Alcatel-Lucent PBX with ACTIS quotation tool in order to interwork with an external application, is not a guarantee of the availability of the solution. Please check the availability of the Inter-Working Report on AAPP web site.

Edition 1 Page 48

The escalation process


As stated above, the Alcatel-Lucent support will be limited to applications with a valid inter-working report. Known problems or remarks mentioned in the IWR will not be taken into account. In case of problem, the two parties, Alcatel-Lucent and the Application Partner, are engaged: Case 1: the responsibility can be established 100% on Alcatel-Lucent side In that case, the problem must be escalated by the Business Partner to the Alcatel-Lucent Hot-line via the standard process: open a ticket (Service Request SR) Case 2 : the responsibility can be established 100% on Application Partner side In that case, the problem must be escalated directly to the partner by opening a ticket trough the Partner Hotline. In general, the process to be applied for the partner side is described in the IWR. Case 3 : the responsibility can not be established In that case the following process applies: 1) The Application Partner shall be contacted first by the Business Partner or the party responsible for that Application for an analysis of the problem. Alcatel-Lucent has to be involved solely if the application partner demonstrate, with traces, after reproduction of the problem, that the defect which has generated the end-users demand of support is coming from the equipment provided by Alcatel-Lucent or if he needs support of Alcatel-Lucent. 2) The Business partner will escalate the problem to the Alcatel-Lucent Hot-line if the Application Partner has demonstrated a problem on Alcatel-Lucent side or if the Application Partner (not the Business Partner) needs the involvement of Alcatel-Lucent. In that case, the Business Partner must provide the reference of the Case Number on Application Partner side. The Application Partner must provide to Alcatel-Lucent the results of its investigations, traces, etc, related to this Case Number. Alcatel-Lucent reserves the right to close the case opened on his side if the investigations made on Application Partner side are insufficient or do no exist.

Note:

Involvement of the Business Partner is mandatory because the access to the Alcatel-Lucent Platform (remote access, login/password) is under the Business Partner responsibility.
