The Web Portal is divided up into eight major sections reflected in the navigation bar located on the left-hand side of the  portal. These are:
 +
 
 +
#'''[[Web Portal Sections:Status|Status]]'''  -- series of screens providing overall system status as well as the status of various  active applications, services, interfaces, and protocols
 +
#'''[[Web Portal Sections:Users|Users]]'''  -- list of all individuals with access to the system
 +
#'''[[Web Portal Sections:Logs|Logs]]'''  -- view or  download records of system activity
 +
#'''[[Web Portal Sections:Backups|Backups]]'''  -- create, download or restore copies of the overall system configuration data
 +
#'''[[Web Portal Sections:Packages|Packages]]'''  -- list of installed releases of the system software
 +
#'''[[Web Portal Sections:Systems|Systems]]'''  -- list of hardware devices and configuration settings
 +
#'''[[Web Portal Sections:Configurations|Configurations]]'''  -- list of settings that have been created for a device
 +
#'''[[Web Portal Sections:Gateway|Gateway]]'''  -- options for configuring network access points, call detail records, calling routes,  etc.

TelcoBridges provides a wide variety of routing script examples which customers can apply directly in their web configuration according to their needs by following just a few simple steps. Please select one of the following examples according to your needs. You may modify it when necessary.
 +
 +
 +
'''*Flexible NOA:''' Remap the Calling/Called NOA flexibly based on the routes. It should cover most of the NOA requests since the routes include the calling/called remapping as well.
 +
 +
'''*Prefix NOA:''' Remapp Calling/Called NOA according to the prefix of the calling/called number, manipulate calling/called number. For calling number, if it is a privacy call, use the number in P-Asserted-Identity line or Remote-Party-ID line as the calling number to remap the NOA and do the manipulation.

Introduction

This guide is designed to provide users with a scenario-based approach to installing Tmedia and Tdev systems, using the Web Portal configuration tool. This means that users must first go through the steps that are general to all installations, and subsequently follow the instructions that are specific to their particular application scenario (this corresponds to the type of service, and hardware system being set up).


Prerequisites

This document assumes that the Tmedia or Tdev devices are installed as described in their Quick Reference Guides, and in the case of the Tmedia system communication has been established with the control network.

(Note: Tmedia devices are shipped with the Tmedia Web Portal pre-installed, while Tdev devices require that Toolpack be installed as described in the TMP6400 Installation Guide.)

Furthermore, in the case of a Tdev device and the initial configuration of the Toolpack application server, the following will have been provided:

  • The Tdev device to which the Web Portal will first connect.
  • The Tdev device will have been pre-configured with its physical TDM interface.
  • The serial number of the Tdev device will have been entered into the configuration file.
  • The application software for the Tdev device will have been pre-installed on the Toolpack application server, as described in the TMP6400 Installation Guide.

This document also assumes familiarity with topics, such as ISDN signaling, SIP signaling, SS7, CAS R2 signaling, and SIGTRAN signaling.


Key Concepts

  • System: A system is defined as the complete solution that is designed for a network. If a system solution is comprised of 4 TMP6400’s and a TMS1600, then the combination of these TelcoBridges devices is termed a system.
  • Hardware: Each TelcoBridges devices, whether it is a TMP6400, TMG3200, or TMS1600 is referred to as a hardware device or hardware adapter.
  • Line Interface: The physical TDM module installed on the TelcoBridges device is referred to as a line interface.


Web Portal Disposition

The Web Portal is divided up into eight major sections reflected in the navigation bar located on the left-hand side of the portal. These are:

  1. Status -- series of screens providing overall system status as well as the status of various active applications, services, interfaces, and protocols
  2. Users -- list of all individuals with access to the system
  3. Logs -- view or download records of system activity
  4. Backups -- create, download or restore copies of the overall system configuration data
  5. Packages -- list of installed releases of the system software
  6. Systems -- list of hardware devices and configuration settings
  7. Configurations -- list of settings that have been created for a device
  8. Gateway -- options for configuring network access points, call detail records, calling routes, etc.


Web Portal Basics

IMPORTANT! The Topics covered in the following table are common to all TMedia installations. Therefore, this section should be consulted before moving on to any other.


Topics covered here:

  • The basic knowledge needed to properly navigate through the Web Portal (A).
  • The fundamentals of user account management and permission masks (B).
  • The initial steps required for first starting the Web Portal, and verifying that it is functioning properly (C).
  • The process involved in backing up your database for the first time (D).
  • The process involved in first configuring your IP interfaces (E).

ISDN-SIP Gateway Configuration

The following tables contain a typical configuration scenario for an ISDN to SIP gateway. This type of installation allows for the transfer of information from traditional ISDN signaling to SIP protocol for VoIP applications. Please follow each step one after another as these are listed in logical order.


The steps are as follows:

  • 1) Log On and Create a New Configuration
  • 2) Allocate Physical Interfaces
  • 3) Configure ISDN-PRI Signaling
  • 4) Configure Clocking Source
  • 5) Configure SIP Signaling

Configuring SS7

The following table contains information on configuring the SS7 signaling protocol. The various control layers of the SS7 protocol are listed individually in each column. These layers are:

  • MTP2 layer (Step 1)
  • MTP3 layer (Step 2)
  • ISUP layer (Step 3)
  • SCCP layer (Step 4)
  • TCAP layer (Step 5)

Follow the topics listed in each column from left to right in order to configure an SS7 protocol stack.

SIGTRAN Application Scenarios

Toolpack version 2.5 enables you to configure SIGTRAN and thereby extend SS7 signalling functionality to the IP network. Toolpack enables you to configure a number of SIGTRAN applications based upon your requirements. These applications are listed below as follows:

  • M2PA system. See column (A) below. In this configuration the SS7 MTP2 layer is replaced by the SIGTRAN M2PA layer which extends MTP2 signalling functionality into the IP network. This application is typically used between a Signalling Gateway and an IP Signalling Point, or between two IP Signalling Points.


  • M2UA system. See columns (B) and (C) below. An M2UA system on a Signalling Gateway Controller interfaces with an M2UA system on a Media Gateway Controller. In this configuration, M2UA bridges the SS7 MTP2 layer of a Signalling Gateway, across an IP network, with the SS7 MTP3 layer of a Media Gateway Controller.


  • IUA system. See column (D) below. An IUA system on a Signalling Gateway Controller interfaces with an IUA system on a Media Gateway Controller. In this configuration, IUA bridges the SS7 MTP2 layer of a Signalling Gateway, across an IP network, with the SS7 MTP3 layer of a Media Gateway Controller.


  • M3UA system on two IP signalling points. See column (E) below. In this configuration the SS7 MTP2 and MTP3 layers are replaced entirely by the SIGTRAN M3UA layer. This application is typically used between two IP Signalling Points.


  • M3UA system. See columns (F) and (G) below. An M3UA system on a Signalling Gateway Process interfaces with an M3UA system on an Application Server Process. In this configuration, the MTP3 links are extended across the IP network.


A SIGTRAN scenario walkthrough is provided in the table columns below, to illustrate the order that must be followed when configuring SIGTRAN.

Configuring SNMP

To use the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)on your machine, you must first configure the tbSnmpAgent.
The tbSnmpAgent is a software application that interfaces between the TMedia system hardware and the NetSnmp implementation of the SNMP that is supported by TelcoBridges. By default, tbSnmpAgent is disabled. In order to use the SNMP protocol to monitor and manage your hardware, complete the following tasks:

  • Activate the tbSnmpAgent
  • Configure the tbSnmpAgent as required


These tasks can be completed using the Web Portal:

  1. Activate tbSnmpAgent
  2. Configure tbSNMPAGENT to suit your needs


Once these tasks are completed, your TMedia platform is ready to expose system variables for polling with the Simple Network management Protocol (SNMP).

Configuring RADIUS

Toolpack v2.5 can send accounting requests containing CDR data to a remote RADIUS server. In order to do so, refer to the Configuring RADIUS page.

Configuring Routing script

TelcoBridges provides a wide variety of routing script examples which customers can apply directly in their web configuration according to their needs by following just a few simple steps. Please select one of the following examples according to your needs. You may modify it when necessary.


*Flexible NOA: Remap the Calling/Called NOA flexibly based on the routes. It should cover most of the NOA requests since the routes include the calling/called remapping as well.

*Prefix NOA: Remapp Calling/Called NOA according to the prefix of the calling/called number, manipulate calling/called number. For calling number, if it is a privacy call, use the number in P-Asserted-Identity line or Remote-Party-ID line as the calling number to remap the NOA and do the manipulation.
