2 ABSTRACT
TOPEX EONES equipment can be configured using a computer connected to the equipment via serial
interface (RS232) or Ethernet port. The serial interface may be also accessed via analog modem, on a dial-up
connection.
By using the configuration program you may define various types of routes for the calls from
different E1 input trunks to the output trunks or to other interfaces (VoIP cards, etc). Depending upon
numbering dialed, you may define different rules for routing, in a way that is completely transparent for
caller. For instance, a call to a city number local will be directed towards the PSTN, while an international
will be directed to the VoIP card, to be packetized and sent to destination via Internet.
the
the
the
call
You can also define overflowing directions so that a call may be processed through a back-up route
to be used whenever the main route is unavailable.
In order to achieve an accurate call metering for billing of the calls, the system generates information
concerning the actual phase of a call (establishing, answer, and circuit release). The call progress information is
sent to the corresponding equipment (PBX, VoIP gateway or another EONES).
The billing data may be stored locally (on the HDD of the PG) or on a remote database.
3 OPERATION, ADMINISTRATION AND MAINTENANCE

(O.A.M.)
TOPEX EONES may be configured and managed in three different ways:
OAM by means of Serial port

By means of the OAM program that runs on a desktop PC or a laptop connected to the equipment,
either through serial port or through Ethernet. The configuration can be performed locally (via serial
cable), or remotely through the Ethernet connection;
OAM by means of Ethernet port

Through Internet, accessing the IP address of the equipment via a Web browser. You may configure
the IP address of equipment as you wish in according with your network requirements and
characteristics. (The initial IP address preset from the factory has been assigned only for testing
performing.);
OAM by means of IP connection

Direct PPP - dial-in IP connection. (Remote connection to COM21 port via dial-in). You can use an
external analog voice band telephone modem or a GSM modem in Circuit Switched Data (CSD) mode.
WARNING!
AFTER YOU ACHIEVED THE FIRST CONNECTION TO THE
TOPEX EoneS SYSTEM, REPLACE IMMEDIATELY THE
DEFAULT PASSWORD WITH ONE OF YOUR OWN
CHOOSING!

OAM Manual
3.1 System requirements

In order to be able to configure or administrate the TOPEX E1/30 equipment you must first install the
OAM program.
The installation CD-ROM that comes with the equipment includes the program for operation,
administration and maintenance.
This program is a self-contained executable file that may run on any desktop PC or laptop that fulfills
the following minimal requirements:
Operating system Windows 95 or later versions;
Minimum processor 486;
Recommended minimum 1GB free space on HDD;
Minimum 64 MB RAM;
CD-ROM unit;
One free serial port or one Ethernet interface;
Graphics resolution 1024 by 768 pixels, colors High Color (16bit) or True Color (32bit).
Through the OAM program you can configure and manage maximum 50 different TOPEX Eones
systems (gateways). Each of the systems has an associated directory folder (in the same place with the
executable application "gwconfig.exe". Also, there are subdirectories for each type of files: for alarms - Alarms,
for billing - Billing, for activity - Activity, for log files - Log and for viewing text files - Viewer.
You can access all remote TOPEX systems in order to configure and maintain them. You may
download files from remote systems into the appropriate subdirectories on the local HDD, or upload edited
configuration files to the TOPEX Eones switches.
3.2 Installing the program

Perform the operations described hereunder for a proper functioning of TOPEX Eones:
) Insert the installation CD in your CD-ROM unit;

) The program features auto run, it should begin installation by itself;
) Install the OAM program achieving the instructions that are described on your display.
The installation screen shows up: the Topex logo, the name of the program being installed and the
equipment for which the program is intended. You just wait for the OAM program to be installed on your
computer.
TOPEX S.A.
Page 8
TOPEX EoneS
Then the Welcome screen appears, mentioning which version of the program is currently installing.
The actual software version may be different from the one shown in "Welcome" window, so after finishing
installation, you should use "About" command to see the OAM version currently running on your computer.
Then the window "Choose Destination Location" appears, asking you to specify the folder where the
"gwconfig" application will be installed. The default value is a folder named "TOPEX" in the "Program Files"
system folder. Select "Next" to continue or "Browse" if you want to specify another folder for the installation.
Usually, you do not need to change the default location.
The "Select Program Folder" window comes next. Here you must specify the name of the Programs
folder were the startup icon for the OAM will be installed. The setup program will create in Programs a folder
called "TOPEX GATEWAY - OAM". Again, you should not change this default value.
Now the effective installation begins, you will see a progress bar showing the progress of the
installation:
Page 9
TOPEX S.A.
OAM Manual
When the setup is successfully ended, the window "Setup Complete" will show up. It asks you if you
want to see the README file and if you want to launch the OAM program immediately.
To end the installation, click the button "Finish".
Now the OAM program is fully installed on your system. To launch it, go to the Start menu, select
"Programs" and then click "TOPEX GATEWAY - OAM".
Note 1: If the "autorun" feature for CD's is not enabled on your computer, then you must launch the Setup
program manually. Go to "My Computer" and click on your CD drive. You will see the contents of the Topex
installation disk. Double click the "Setup" icon to launch the installation program.
Note 2: You may want to remove the OAM program from your computer.
TOPEX S.A.

TOPEX EoneS
-
From the Start menu, go to "Settings" and select "Control Panel".
From Control Panel, double click the

icon "Add or Remove Programs".
Search in the list of currently installed
program the application "Topex
Gateway - OAM" and click the
"Change/Remove" button if you want
to uninstall the program.
A window called "Confirm File Deletion" shows up, asking you to confirm that you want to remove the
OAM program. Press YES to continue. Now the un-installation of the program begins. You will see on screen a
progress indicator.
The OAM program is removed from your computer, but the TOPEX folder won't be deleted. Consequently, if
you had configuration, billing or monitoring files in this folder, the files will be kept. Also, when you re-install the
OAM program over a previous installation, the configuration and log files won't be overwritten, so you may keep
your settings, activity and billing records.
Note 3: On Topex CD-ROM there is also a folder named "OAM". It contains all files which are necessary for the
OAM application to run in case that you need to copy them manually to a folder you want to use.
Note 4: If you have checked the box "I like to launch TOPEX GATEWAY - OAM" or when you go to "Start
Programs - TOPEX GATEWAY - OAM", the OAM program will start up.

OAM Manual
3.3 Starting the program

Now the OAM program is fully installed on your system. To launch it, go to the Start menu, select
"Programs" and then click "TOPEX GATEWAY - OAM".
You can also start the program from the command line: Start => Run => Command => change folders
to the TOPEX directory => type gwconfig.exe.
This mode of launching the program has the advantage that you may use several options (command
line parameters).
Options for the OAM program
In order to allow additional facilities, the gwconfig.exe application may also be started at the
command line prompt with the following parameters:
1) -D
The OAM software includes a protection against starting more than one instance of it. If it is necessary to start
the software more than one time, you should use the following command to start the application: "gwconfig.exe
-d" or "gwconfig.exe -D".
The D parameter allows simultaneous administration of several TOPEX gateways.
2) "-C"
The parameter "-c" or "-C" allows automated connection of the administration program to a TOPEX gateway.
The c parameter must be followed by a space delimiter and these three fields: identification name for the
remote system, user name and password (to allow automated log-in).
For example: "gwconfig.exe -c TEST,<username>,<password>".
3) "-S"
Parameter "-s" or "-S" allows saving of several types of data. The information saved concerns the status of
activation of monitoring, live monitoring.
For instance "gwconfig.exe -s" or "gwconfig.exe -S"
All these parameters can be combined and added to the command line.
When the program starts, a screen called TOPEX GATEWAY version x.y.z Operations,
Administration and Maintenance window.
TOPEX S.A.
Page 12
TOPEX EoneS
The EONES system can contains up to 11 digital boards. On the OAM pane the EONES structure is
divided on successive screens, with three slots each. Every slot may hold a 2E1 trunk or a VoIP card. The main
difference between multiACCESS/QUTEX OAM panel and the EONES panel are the navigation arrows that
allow you to go from one configuration screen to another - arrows which are located on the bottom right zone of
the OAM pane.
You will notice:
9 First, a menu bar, with names such as Systems, Facilities, About, Help, Exit;
9 Underneath it, a toolbar with different buttons marked with icons;
9 To the left, the tree-like structure of connected gateways;
9 The right panel, blue, which is the main window, showing the cards and ports of the system;
9 In the upper right corner, the flags for selecting the language.
These elements of the O.A.M. program will be detailed in the following pages.
Types of boards and board abbreviations displayed in OAM application:

D
E1R2 board (32 channels)
multiACCESS/QUTEX/EONES
E1ISDN-PRI board (32 channels)
E1SS7 board (32 channels)
E1R1 board (32 channels)
VOIP card - with H323 or SIP protocol

(8,16,32 or 64 channels)
For EONES/multiswitch systems, the configuration window is divided into two distinct areas:
the area with SLOTs - on each successive screen - the OAM pane displays three slots. Every slot
may hold a 2E1 trunk or a VoIP card; The middle of the screen shows groups of three slots each, numbered
0,1,2, 2,4,5 and so on, up to 9,10,11. You may install up to 11 (eleven) digital boards (2E1 or VoIP) in an
EONES system, so the last slot, no 11, will be always empty. For the case of an EONES slave - the total
number of slots will be 22.
For the multiswitch system - if RTP proxy is needed - for example in case of SIP users behind NAT then a VoIP card will be declared (but not physically present). Otherwise - the configuration can be empty. If
transcoding is needed then a TOPEX multi-Access /QUTEX equipped with a VoIP card will be declared as slave
to the softswitch configuration.
Card status: the boards inserted in the system rack are viewed;
If a SS7 card is present into the gateway configuration then another zone will show up on the panel:
"Remote SP accessibility".

system on position n is displayed.
In the Add system on position n window you must specify:
) Directory enter a name for the folder where the files downloaded from the TOPEX Eones system will
be stored. On the computer hard disk it will be made a directory in the following shape "cfg_xxxxxxx" where
xxxxxxx is the name typed in the "Directory" field. The folder will be created on hard disk in the directory where
the executable 'gwconfig.exe' is located. In the picture above, the directory name is EONES-CR.
) Name enter a name for the connection to the system. It will be concatenated with "cfg_" and show up
in the tree-like structure as Cristesti. These concatenated names are text used from now on in the tree
structure for identifying the system.
) Serial communication / IP communication here you specify the type of link between OAM
computer and E1/30 multiprotocol switch.
TOPEX S.A.
Page 14
TOPEX EoneS
There are two exclusive options for the communication with TOPEX equipment: IP or serial link.
A) IP Parameters - if you choose IP communication, you must fill the next two fields:
IP address - enter the IP address of the system. It can be a numeric IP address or a text address (in that case a
DNS request will be made by software).
IP Port num. - enter the number of the port through which the communication with the system is achieved. The
default value is 9009. This value is also established into the gateway system and should not be changed.
Dial-Up Connection field
-
In case of IP communication, if this box is checked it allows you to establish a dial-up connection. The Dialup connection must be created from Windows (from Control Panel "Dial-Up Networking") and the
connection name must not contain the space character inside the text.
Option Use PPP address is used to indicate to the gwconfig application that it must connect to the
address of the dialup server, after a successful connection. If this option is NOT checked, then the
Gwconfig program will try to connect to the address specified in the field IP address field.
Note: On the TOPEX Eones system there is a configuration file that specifies the IP addresses, so the IP
address to connect may be deferent from the one specified above.
If the option Use PPP address is checked, upon achieving DialUp connection the TOPEX system
automatically connects to the IP address from the dial-up server.
If the parameter DialUp Connection is checked you may choose a dial-up connection from the list at
"DialUp connection name". You must enter a "DialUp Number" which overrides the number used at the
creation of the Dialup Connection.
Also by pressing "Edit" button you can override the

"User" and "Password" used in the process of
authentication.
You must note that if you make changes to "User" or
"Password" fields, those changes are made also in
the Windows registry.
The field "Connection Timeout" is the time in seconds wait from the moment of starting the DialUp connection
and the obtaining the connection state.
B) Serial Communication - if you choose the serial communication connection must describe the following
fields:
Serial Port num - enter the number of serial port used in case of serial communication with the gateway. The
default value is COM1. This value must be in range COM1-COM12.
Note: There is a limit for the length of the text: maximum 19 characters for the fields "Directory" and "Name"
fields and maximum two characters for the field "Serial Port num".
Save - saves the setting and adds in the tree structure a system with the modified settings;
Cancel - closes the window without saving the settings;
Help opens the Help window which contains the electronic manual.
SYSTEMS => REMOVE

If you want to remove an existing TOPEX system, select Systems > Remove option. The next
window will appear.
To remove a TOPEX Eones system from
the structure, select it and then click on
'Save' button: the selected system will be
deleted from the tree structure; the folder
(directory) on your hard disk drive won't be
deleted, you must erase it manually. If you
select Cancel the window will be closed.

FACILITIES => COMMAND
Use this option for entering direct commands for the system. This part of the OAM program is "expert
level only". You may resize or move the window "Configuration manager on the screen as you wish. The
position of window and dimensions will be saved in a file on HDD in order to be preserved for future use.
Log Section for COMMAND option - if you check this option, a log file will be generated. This file allows you
to analyze later the commands sent to the EONES and the responses from the EONES. The log file is always
named "command.txt". The option "Reset" is used to reinitialize the file used for saving the log.
The commands to be issued to the TOPEX gateway are filled in "OAM" edit field, at the top of the window. A
command is sent to the gateway after pressing the <ENTER> key.
The command window is useful for several purposes:
- Start or stop the debug process;
- Display the statistics over the number of calls;
- Kill a current call on a port;
- Block or unblock a SS7 channel;
- Loop or unloop SS7 channel. Loop-ing means that the "Tx" and "Rx" are looped together. This way,
the caller can verify the continuity of the circuit, by sending out a certain tone on Tx and getting back the
same tone on Rx;
- Reset a SS7 channel.
Setting commands for COMMAND option - there are also additional commands that are interpreted by the
application running on the TOPEX gateway.

Used to start debugging on a port. The port for debugging purposes is completed
in "ppp" section: for example to activate debug for port 1 the command is "set
debug 1 2"
Must be sent to port "ppp" after the command "start debug ppp ppp" in order to
activate the debugging facility
Used to stop debugging on port "ppp". The port is completed in "ppp" section: to
stop the debugging for port "1" the command is "res debug 1 2"
Must be sent to port "ppp" after the command "res debug ppp ppp" in order to
deactivate the debugging facility
It is used for displaying the total number of call attempts ("TCalls"), answered calls
("T spech"), total duration of calls ("Dcalls"), total duration of speaking ("Dspech)

numbers of port that can be set to RJA are: 0, 1, 16, 17, 32, 33, 48, 49, 64, 65, 80,
81, 96, 97, 112,113, 128,129, 144,145 and 160,161.
Linux commands
Finally, in the "Configuration manager" window you can also type LINUX-like commands that will be sent to the
connected gateway. The command must always begin with the string of characters "system" s.
A LINUX command may follow, after a separator (a space character). If you type the ">" character following a
command the software automatically adds the destination file for the command output. This destination is by
default "/mnt/app/out/out". After issuing such a command, the user may analyze the output file by selecting the
"Output File" icon command ("
") from the toolbar.
Voice Quality Tests

In the same "Configuration manager" window the user can to perform tests over the quality of voice on two
different ports. In order to make those tests, the user must first define the ports on which he wants to make the
tests.
This selection is done in the "Callback Table":
<identity (number) to test quality of voice> 1 <code 1> <code 2>.
The first field of the line is an arbitrary number used to start the test of the voice quality. The second field must
be "1" (callback functionality). The last two fields contain each the prefix used in the routing table, the port
number and the number to call (here are used one port on a SS7 trunk and another on VoIP).
<code1>=<prefix>+032+1744000001
<code2>=<prefix>+133+2744000002
The TOPEX EONES will call the first number, of the remote subscriber on first port, and following its answer it
will connect the two, allowing you to check the quality of voice for the respective connection.
For example:
9999 1 720321720000000 721332740000000 - the number used for test is "9999". The prefix used in the
routing table for the test service is "72". The first port, on the E1 trunk with SS7 signaling, is 32 and the second,
on VoIP, is 133. The first phone number to be called is "1720000000" and the second one is "2740000000".
For this to work, you must have in the Routing Table a record to route "72" (the test prefix) to SERV ("Action" =
SERV) and destination "SELECT PORT".
The command to start the voice test is performed from "Configuration manager":
test callback 9999.
When this command is executed, the TOPEX EONES calls the first number 1720000000 from port 32.
When the call is answered at destination, the second part of the test is done. From port 133 the phone number
2740000000 is dialed and the two are connected.
This way you can connect two by two all of the M ports of the EONES and test the quality of the voice
on the respective connections.

FACILITIES => LICENSE
This last option of Facilities menu is used to send a license message to the TOPEX Eones
Multiprotocol Switch / Signaling Gateway. The purpose of the "license" feature is to implement control over the
time-limited application running on the gateway. This limited application will serve incoming calls only for a
specific number of days. After the expiration of this period, the application will no longer process the calls. A
license message is sent by TOPEX Company, message that is unique for each gateway (it can't be used with
another gateway).
The application licenses can enable the control over some of the features of the Eones gateway. The
available features are:
- Basic;
- SS7;
- VoIP;
- Callback;
- Portability;
- Tax - Pulses calculation.
The license-enabling message consists of several lines. This message can be received by the customer as an
e-mail message. The user copies the message into the "License" window and it send to the gateway.
The gateway should answer with the confirmation message: "LICENSE ACCEPTED". If the license message is
not valid, the answer will be "LICENSE REJECTED". If the license is accepted then the number of working day
is displayed in the status bar.
3.4.3 About
If you select "About" the adjacent window will appear in order to tell you
what version of application software you have installed on your computer.
For example 4.1.11. Also you will see the TOPEX logo. Select the OK
button to close this window.
3.4.4 Help
If you select the Help option the searchable help file (in English) will be displayed.
3.4.5 Exit

3.6 Changes available through icons

3.6.1
- Save current configuration
A configuration is the collection of files which are downloaded from a

gateway during the connection progress. These files describe the
mode of working for TOPEX equipment. The "Save Current
Configuration" (icon " ") may be use only in a state of connection
between the "gwconfig" application and a gateway.
The adjacent image is displayed allowing the user to type the
"Configuration Name".
Click the "Save" button in order to validate the name. Then, a new item will appear in the tree window
located in the left side of the application panel. The name typed in the "Enter Configuration Name" will be shown
beginning with the characters "viz". This means the configuration can be saved and edited on the local
computer, even without connection to a remote TOPEX gateway.
Note: viz shows the configuration on the local computer. The gateways to which the user is able to make
connections will show up with characters "cfg" before the gateway identification name. This means the
configurations are in directories for the remote gateways to which you connect.
There are two possible options for a saved configuration:
- "Edit" - this option will display the saved configuration in the same manner
as for a connected gateway. The user is able to make changes. All settings
are preserved when the user choose the "Close" option.
- "Close" - this is the option to close the "Edit" configuration mode.
The program will show a confirmation message: "Do you wish to hide last
configuration?".
Click the OK button to confirm.
3.6.2
- Upload edited configuration
This option is used in a state of connection between the "gwconfig" OAM application and a remote TOPEX
Eones gateway.
Press the icon "
Select "Uploading Configurations" and the configuration you want to be uploaded;
" and launch the uploading process;
All available configurations are displayed in a list.
Select a configuration from the list, and then press the button "Loading".
When the uploading process is ended, a confirmation message is displayed:

The "gwconfig" software will display on the screen the new configuration. This configuration is used
also by the main application running on the TOPEX gateway.
3.6.3
- Download configuration
This option (icon) is available in case of a TOPEX EONES or Soft Switch equipped
with redundancy. The first step is to select the processor card from which the
configuration is downloading:
The configuration is downloaded from the selected processor card.
Page 21
TOPEX S.A.
OAM Manual
When the configuration is downloaded - the next window appears

asking for taking over the new configuration. If the answer is yes then the configuration will be displayed in the OAM panel.
3.6.4
- Upload configuration
This option (icon) is available in case of a TOPEX EONES or

Softswitch equipped with redundancy. The first step is to select the
processor/processor cards to which the configuration will be
uploaded:
Once the processor card is selected the uploading process is started.

The confirmation message for successfully uploaded is "The new configuration has been uploaded!". If
an error occurs the message will be "Uploading configuration Failed".
3.6.5
- Gateway parameters
The "Gateway Parameters" icon can be used for editing several gateway parameters of the TOPEX
equipment. These parameters are regarding IP address, firewall, serial connectivity and IP connectivity with
"gwconfig" software, debug, syslog and SNMP messages to be generated by Topex gateway.
When you click on the icon, the following window will appear.
The gateway parameters are grouped into seven different areas:
Network settings;
Connection zone;
Firewall settings;
Debug;
Billing;
Syslog;
SNMP.
TOPEX S.A.
Page 22
TOPEX EoneS
A. Network settings this area allows you to change network settings for the TOPEX Eones gateway:
IP address of the gateway (the most important parameter) in the image the record started by IP ADDR;
netmask (line that starts with "NETMASK");
gateway address (line started by "GATEWAY").
If the lines begin with a #, they will not be taken into account. So in order to activate a command, you
must de-comment it: delete the starting character, which shows the line is a comment only.
Note: After you change after one parameter from the "Network settings" the gateway must be restarted in order
to use the new value of the parameter. The icon command to be used for restarting the gateway is "
".
B. Connection zone - these settings are related to the serial connectivity and IP connectivity of the TOPEX
equipment with the "gwconfig" software. The command "Parameters" located in the "gwconfig" software is
related to the PC communication parameters. The parameters set for the gateway must correspond to those
established for the OAM program.
Now you can set parameters for the TOPEX Eones system. Of course, the parameters set for the gateway must
correspond to those established for the OAM program. The available settings are:
Serial Speed - the value used for serial communication between OAM program running on the PC and the
software of the gateway. Allowed values are 0 (it means unused port and must be set when you want to is
intended to install a dialup server on the gateway), 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 and 115200 (default
value);
Serial Port num specifies the number of the serial port on the gateway to be used for serial connection
with OAM computer. Allowed values are 1 or 2 and the default is 1 (COM1);
IP Port num the port used for IP connectivity; the default value is 9009. If this value is changed from
OAM software, then the connection will be immediately lost. You must have the same port number
established both in the OAM program and in the software running on the TOPEX gateway. After performing
a reset, the OAM software will be able to connect to the gateway using the new value of IP Port.
C. Firewall settings - in this edit zone - user can add incoming firewall rules.
Each line from the edit zone must contain three fields:
First field is the connection type ("tcp" or "udp");
Next the IP address follows - it represents the IP address from which the connection to the port specified in
The third field is allowed;
Third field represents the port on which the connection is accepted.

For example "tcp 192.168.1.6 22" means that a TCP connection is accepted on port 22 (SSH port) from
"192.168.1.6" address.
To enable firewall protection you must uncomment some lines of the configuration file. For this, remove the "#"
character from the beginning of these lines: "LAN=ppp0", "WAN=eth0", USE_FIREWALL=yes".
After this operation is done, you must reboot the gateway for the new settings to take effect.
Warning! Be careful when you use the embedded firewall. If the firewall protection is started without the
presence of valid lines in the "Firewall settings", then the Topex gateway will be no longer reachable from IP. In
that case, the only solution for accessing the gateway is to use the serial connection via the COM2 port of the
PG card. Use this serial connection to fix the firewall settings, and then you will be able again to access the
gateway via IP.
D. Debug - activates several options for generating special log files, useful for debug (diagnosing and repair)
operations.
Activate 'log' file - when the option is checked the debug messages will be generated in the debug log of
the TOPEX gateway. These debug files have extension "log" and the name corresponding to the current
day (format day-month-year: dd-mm-yy);
db_alarms - when the option is checked the alarm messages will be shown in the debug log of the TOPEX
gateway. A log file is created if it was enabled from the "Alerts" icon " " of the toolbar. Those debug file
have the extension "log" and the name corresponding to the current day (format day-month-year: dd-mmyy);
db_cfg - when the option is checked any changes on gateway configuration will be shown in the gateway
debug log;
Debug Mask - The option sets the debug mask (four bytes) that establishes for which subjects will be
generated debug logs.
Page 23
TOPEX S.A.
OAM Manual
The items that may be recorded in the logs are: "Port Activity",
"ComCCS", "SOmes", "comUNIX" and "comOAM". To edit the "Debug
Mask" field, the button "..." must be pressed. Then the "Computing
Debug Options" window will be displayed.
Here you just check the boxes for the options you need to generate
debug information.
"Port Activity" - generate debug records for all ports of the TOPEX
Eones;
"ComCCS" - generate debug file for the application that manages
communication on ISDN and SS7 networks. (Both signaling protocols
use Common Channel Signaling, that is a dedicated, non-associated
channel especially reserved for signaling);
"SOmes" - debug the main application running on the gateway;
"comUNIX" - debug the commands that are received from the Web server (using an Unix socket);
"comOAM" is used to debug the communication with OAM program.
E. Billing This section contains two fields which are activated by checking the box near the fields:
-
Add IP fields if you check this option, information about the IP addresses will be added to the billing files.
This info includes the Signaling IP and Signaling Port for the source, the RTP IP and RTP port for the
source, followed by Signaling IP and Signaling Port for the destination, and lastly the RTP IP and RTP port
for the destination.
For the incoming calls, the destination signaling IP is the one of the PG card of the equipment, while the
destination RTP is the IP of the VoIP card. In case of outgoing calls, the source RTP IP is the one of the
VoIP card of the Topex equipment, while the destination RTP is the one of the remote VoIP card that made
the call.
Output in MYSQL database if this checkbox is enabled, the billing file will be sent also to a data base,
running on a remote or local computer.
F. Syslog if you activate this option (by checking the Activate box), the debug messages are sent to a
selected IP address. This Syslog is an UNIX-like feature that allows logging of debug messages and sending
them to a remote machine;
The destination IP address is written on target in the file "/etc/syslog.conf". All logged messages will
contain the identification of TOPEX gateway (you enter this identification in the field "Equipment ID").
"Facility" list allows you to select the type of syslog messages. You may choose: "LOG_USER",
"LOG_LOCAL0", "LOG_LOCAL1", "LOG_LOCAL2", "LOG_LOCAL3", "LOG_LOCAL4", "LOG_LOCAL5",
"LOG_LOCAL6" and "LOG_LOCAL7";
syslog_alarms - when the option is checked the alarm messages are sent to the syslog destination;
syslog_cfg - when the option is checked then any changes made upon gateway configuration will be also
sent to the syslog destination;
Syslog mask similar to Debug mask, this option establishes about what items ("Port Activity",
"ComCCS", "SOmes", "comUNIX" and "comOAM") will be generated syslogs. Click on the button and
the next window shows up, allowing you to select the items which will be included in the syslog.
Samples of messages from a debug log of a TOPEX gateway:

If you have set the option "db_alarms" then the messages of alarms and alarming about ASR will be logged. In
the debug file will show up messages preceded by "RUN", like these:
RUN Com Err cd f cat 43 (this is an alarm message on card 'f' which is card number 15 from the EONES)
RUN Com Err cd 10 cat 4003 (this is an alarm message on card '10' which is card number 16 from the EONES)
RUN NLIS 4 (LIS error on card 32)
RUN Com OK cd11 cat 4803 (it means this card is OK!)
RUN NLFA 4 (LFA error on card 32)
RUN NAIS 4 (AIS error on card 32)
RUN NRJA 4 (RJA error on card 32)
If you have set the option "db_cfg then the configuration information will also be logged. Messages starting
with "CFG" will also show up in the debug file:
CFG Open for read ../cfg/trafic.cfg
CFG Alarm run 0 ASRalarm 80 timeasr 12(min) nr min calls 1 alarmmask 0 timetest 0
CFG Save ASR at 30 min
CFG Debug 1 Pstart 0 Pstop 320 SaveFile 1
CFG Trafic run 0
CFG Trafic idle time 5
CFG Trafic seize time 30
CFG GEN TRAFFIC CALL 0 1234567891108 120 port 257 mod 0. Those messages are about operations
performed over the configuration files of the EONES.
TOPEX S.A.
Page 24
TOPEX EoneS
If option "Port Activity" is validated in the creation of debug mask then messages starting with the port number,
"00xx" will be present in the debug file, and each line will begin with the timestamp (hh:mm:ss, millisecs) :
10:08:41, 565 00257 14 E1CCSidle ACTIV channel 1
10:08:41, 615 00257 1 Digits 1234567891108 Ident 120

10:08:41, 985 00257 2 Dialdest TimeOut
10:08:42, 035 00258 9 E1CCSackout TimeOut|CANCEL ->BUSY. In this case, messages were generated for
ports 257 and respectively 258.
If option "SOmes" was validated in the creation of debug mask then messages about the management of the
switching application will be logged too. This means that messages starting with "GEN" will also appear in the
debug log:
GEN COADA 6 TRI 145 TRA 5 CPS 508 CPL 256 DTMF 0 R2 0 CH 0 CMD 0
GEN Local Time Wday 03 Mday 07 Date 07-04-04 Hour 11:19:10 SysDay 2

GEN COADA 5 TRI 145 TRA 5 CPS 508 CPL 256 DTMF 0 R2 0 CH 0 CMD 0
If you have selected the option "comOAM" in the creation of the debug mask then the commands of
the OAM program will be stored. The debug file will also include messages starting with "OAM":
OAM ADD CARD 16 CAT 4003 (this is a message showing that the card 16 was added to the EONES
by means of the OAM program. Value "4003" is a category which describes the type of card.)
Finally, the option ComCCS is about records for communication with the applications for SS7 and H323.
G. SNMP - if you activate this option (by checking the box "Activate") alarms can be sent as traps to a selected
IP address ("IP destination").
The user can choose the type of the trap (default value is 6 - "Entreprise Specific"), the community name
(default value is "public"). For an alarm appearance - the value sent is 0, and for an alarm disappearance is 1.
You can allow that together with the trap containing the 0 / 1 value, a second trap with the alarm text
specification to be sent. The OID of traps are derived from the specified OID ("1.3.6.1.4.1.x").
Name - this field is used as a prefix for the names of different files (alarm, billing, activity, log and ASR) created
by the gateway's application. If you leave this field empty, then the name of these files is given by the current
day and an extension (for example "12-01-05.tax" is the billing file created on the 12th January 2005). If the
"Name" field is filled then the names of these files will be given by the name you have typed, concatenated with
the current day and the extension. For example if you type "Topex", the billing file created on 12-01-05 will be
named "Topex12-01-05.tax".

- Directions names
Routing of calls is based upon rules and directions (trunk groups). First, you define (or edit) the names of these
directions and then you use Define call directions icon command to change the table with directions for call.
for selecting the "Direction names option and

Press icon
performing changes into the list of names of directions.
On the screen will appear the window Define direction names which
contains the list with the directions defined on the gateway (the maximum
length of directions name is 19 characters).
There are maximum 20 or 250 directions. These Directions are groups of
inbound or outbound trunks that have common routing characteristics. To
ensure adequate routing of calls, you must assign one or more trunks to
each direction.
Edit a name of direction - select the name of the direction you want
and double click the name. The next window, Edit direction name",
pops up, allowing you to change the name of the selected direction.
For instance: change ISDN direction into ISDN5.
The name of each direction must be a unique identifier - an alphanumeric text (digits and letters)
maximum 19 characters long. If you type more characters, they will be ignored. The first character of the name
must not be a digit. In addition, the text that you enter for a direction name must NOT contain spaces (blanks).
Otherwise, an error message will be displayed. The names provide an indication for the type/usage for
that direction, such as: E1R2 E1 trunk with R2 signaling, ISND for the ISDN PRI trunk, JONDIRn direction
for junctions (outgoing trunks), LOCAL or LOCDIRn for local subscribers, VOIP for voice over IP and so on.

- Calls directions
)
Click on the icon button "Calls direction" ("
") to open up the window for defining the table with call
directions. There is a maximum of 20 or 250 directions (trunk groups).
In the bottom are of this window - there are two buttons named "DIR IP In Settings... and "DIR IP Out
Settings". The first one is used to control the incoming access into the TOPEX equipment. The second one is
used to establish the VoIP outgoing destinations.
TOPEX S.A.

)
edit parameters of a direction - double click on its name and the window "Edit call directions
parameters" will show up:
The parameters of a direction are:
Name - the name of the direction (cannot be edited here);

Type - can be PORT or DIR and specifies how that direction is addressed. The associated list contains two
strings "PORT"=local and "DIR"=junction (trunk). A value of "255" indicates that the direction is ignored;
when the "255" value is assigned to a direction - then the entire line will be colored in white color. The name
of the direction which has "255" assigned to "Type" field will be displayed in red color in the list used to
assign a direction for each kind of port and also in all places in which the destination will be a direction
name.
Overflow -overflow direction for the current direction. The calls will be re-routed to this overflow direction
(SIPREG in the image above) when the current direction is unavailable (completely busy or out of service);
you choose a name of a defined direction from the corresponding list;
Overflow 2 - second overflow direction for the current direction. The calls will be re-routed to this second
overflow direction when the first overflow direction becomes unavailable; you choose a name of a defined
direction from the corresponding list;
Restriction - the class of restriction applied to that direction; from the list a number from 0 to 19 can be
selected;
Ignore - specifies how many digits are ignored from the numbers received on that direction; the first x digits
of the received number will be ignored. The list contains a range of values from 0 to 20 digits;
Insert - specifies what digits will be inserted in the number received to that direction. The maximum allowed
is 16 digits. If you don't want any digit to be inserted you must enter --- for this field.
Note: First the ignoring operation is performed and then the insertion operation.
Max_d - maximum number of digits that may be dialed on that direction. When the maximum number is
reached the system will automatically send out the call to routing analysis, without waiting to see if the
caller part still sends digits. This option is especially useful when you define directions for which the number
of figures to be dialed is well known (for example the numbers for certain GSM networks). The list contains
a range of values from 0 to 20 digits;
Ignore_id - Ignores from the identity of the caller (Caller ID) the number of digits you have specified; The
maximum allowed is 20 figures. The Ignore command is performed before the Insert command. The list
contains a range of values from 0 to 20 digits;
Insert_id - Adds to the Caller ID the specified figures; The maximum allowed is 16 digits;
Max_id - The maximum number of digits from the Caller ID to be sent to the subscriber who has been
called. The list contains a range of values from 0 to 20 digits.
Note: For calls coming from E1 trunk and going out via mobile modules, the true identity of the caller cannot be
sent (some GSM networks dont allow this). The called party will receive only the ID of the CDMA module or the
SIM card from the TOPEX equipment that was used to route the call. In case of calls that come from the GSM
network, the true Caller ID can be sent to the called party via the E1 trunk.

Signaling - contains 4 digits in the 'xyzw' format with the following significance:
Digits
Purpose
x (digit 1)
Bit (from right to left)
Interpretation
bit 0 (mask 0x1000)
DIRCHECKCALLBACK - when this bit is set then for an

incoming call on this direction the callback table will be
analyzed with the received identity (caller identity)
bit 3 (mask 0x8000)
DIRMODULECDMA - when this bit is set all GSM ports placed

on the selected direction will be treated as CDMA modules
Interpretation
bit 0 (mask 0x0100)
DIRTESTNET (used in case of a direction which contains GSM

modules) - when this bit is 1 one then the outgoing GSM
module will be tested if it is registered
bit 1 (mask 0x0200)
DIRGOODASR - when this bit is set then a RELEASE message

is sent on ISDN with a delay of 5 seconds when a congestion
situation is encountered on GSM part. The call will wait on the
specified time a free GSM resource.
bit 2 (mask 0x0400)
DIRCATCALL - when this bit is set then all calls will be cut
(stopped) on the GSM modules for which a reprogramming is
necessary (for example when a SIM must be changed because
of an used algorithm)
bit 3 (mask 0x0800)
Verify CLIR - when this bit is set then the CLIR setting is
verified each time after the CLIR setting is sent to a GSM
module
y (digit 2)
z (digit 3)
audio level (in range 0-7 dBm for the directions with GSM interfaces) where '0' is the biggest level
value and '7' the lowest value
Interpretation
bit 0 (mask 0x0001)
Receive identity - when is set identity is received on selected

direction
bit 1 (mask 0x0002)
Send Identity - when is set identity is sent on selected direction
bit 2 (mask 0x0004)
Load Balancing Algorithm - establish the algorithm for

changing SIM on GSM interfaces (when not set, the algorithm
for minimal cost is used (SIM selection by time periods). When
the bit is set, the "load balancing algorithm" is used (equal
usage time for each SIM)
bit 3 (mask 0x0008)
Coupling the ring-back tone - by setting it, you allow coupling

of ring-back tone while dialing on the next link, before the called
party answers
w (digit 4)
You can either input the individual

values for the digits of Signaling or use a
simpler means, to press the button "..." located
left of the Signaling field.
In this case a window called
Computing Signaling Field shows up,
assuring you an easy way of setting up the
"Signaling" bits for you. You just check the
items you want and the program computes and
inserts for you the individual bits.
TOPEX S.A.

Signaling 2 - contains eight (8) digits that will be fully used in further developments.
"Transit Q.850" - is used to transfer the Q.850 termination

code from the GSM link back on the E1-ISDN link. Those
Q.850 codes are available only for the Siemens mobile
modules.
For Voxson modules and when the "Transit Q.850" option is
not checked the main application sends a congestion
message in case of NO DIALTONE message and for a NO
CARRIER received in under two seconds (since the beginning
of the call in the mobile network). The BUSY message is also
received from GSM network and is sent as it is. A NO
CARRIER message received for a delay value greater than
two seconds will be treated as a release from the GSM
network.
"Load balancing algorithm on SIM index" - is used to enable the load-balancing algorithm ("equal load") on
the SIM/RUIM cards that are already selected by SIM index algorithm.
"Calculate Tax Pulses" - for each direction (group of trunks) for incoming calls, you can establish the
computing (and sending out) of the tax (billing) pulses. These pulses for billing will be generated according to
rules you specify and will accumulate in the billing files. In any case, the calculated billing pulses are saved in
the files. In the case of an ISDN connection (E1-ISDN trunk) these pulses are also sent out, using ISDN - AOC
messages. You must remember that the mask must be applied to the direction to which the E1-ISDN channels
belong.
Note: You can establish the prefixes that will be charged with billing pulses in Routing Table.
The "Search UP" and "Search Down" fields are used for establish a rule in which channels are selected - for
example for a SS7 E1 trunk - the order in which channels are selected in very important - if the trunk is used in
both direction then one side will choose channels from the first one - and the other side from the last one.
The "Priority" field is useful in order to implement rutes with the same prefix to have different priorities. For
example - when a TOPEX Soft Switch is used to route calls to several TOPEX gateways - then each outgoing
direction will have assigned a priority. The customer can assign higher priority to the machines with higher traffic
capabilities and performances. The lowest priority is 0 and the higher is 9.
Verifications are performed for the fields that are involving insertion operation: "Insert" and "Insert_id". The
allowed characters are digits from 0 to 9, "*", "#", "f" and "F".
In case of incorrect values, an error message will be displayed.
Finally, press OK button and validate the settings for the Signaling field if your settings are correct.

At the bottom of the Define calls directions page are located two buttons DIR IP In Settings... and DIR IP
Out Settings... which allows the definition of the input and output directions for the EoneS Gateway.
a) DIRIPIN section - this section is used to perform direction settings for VoIP incoming calls.
By clicking the "DIR IP In Settings..." button in "Define calls direction" window the following configuration window
will show up:
You can Add or remove (Del) records about incoming VoIP calls.
Note: In this field the user must allocate to each pair <protocol, IP range> a direction and a maximum
number of incoming calls.
The name of the direction can be one of the already defined directions, so it can be MYVOIP - the generic
direction used for group the VoIP channels or another direction if you want to use ignore / insert features. If
you use the generic MYVOIP name, all VoIp calls will be treated in the same way, but if you use speciffic
direction names, you can define different rules for different incoming IPs. This allows you to perform operations
such ignoring / inserting digits on the incoming number or identity (see "Calls direction") like for ordinary calls.
To edit the parameters of the input directions double-click the
respective direction name and on the screen will appear the
Edit incoming parameters page which contains the
following fields:
-
Protocol the protocol used for the respective direction.

You can select SIP or H.323.
IP the IP range for the incoming direction. Here you can

complete either a single IP (such as 192.168.144.57) or a
range of IP values (for example "192.168.1.0/24"). The
maximum number of incoming calls is set to "1". If you
use an IP without specifying the range, then calls are
accepted just from that IP. It is the same as using range
/32;
Direction the direction name. It is chosen from the list

with defined directions;
Max Calls In the maximum number of calls which can

be receipted on a single direction. In the anterior example
the maximum number of calls is 100. If you enter 0 (zero)
in the field Max Calls In, this means no restrictions are
placed upon the number of incoming calls.
TOPEX S.A.
Page 30
TOPEX EoneS
Examples:
SIP 0.0.0.0/0 MYVOIP 100 0 0 100 100 p 0 0 0- for SIP protocol calls are allowed from all IPs, and maximum 60
calls are allowed
H323 0.0.0.0/0 MYVOIP 100 0 0 100 100 p 0 0 0- for H323 protocol also calls are allowed from all Ips, and
maximum 60 calls are allowed
Note1: in the "IP field" you can complete either a single IP (such as 192.168.144.57) or a range of IP values (for
example "192.168.1.0/24");
If you use an IP without specifying the range, then calls are accepted just from that IP. It is the same as using
range /32.
For example:
if you use 192.168.1.0/24 then IPs allowed are 192.168.1.x;
if you use 192.168.0.0/16 then IPs allowed are 192.168.x.x;
if you use 192.0.0.0/8 then IPs allowed are 192.x.x.x;
if you use 0.0.0.0/0 then IPs allowed are x.x.x.x (calls are allowed from all IPs!);
Note2: The maximum number of incoming calls controls the number of simultaneously calls accepted from the
specified IP. If you enter 0 (zero) in the field Max Calls, this means no restrictions are placed upon the number
of incoming calls. The equipment will accept any number of calls.
The default value is 100.
Proxy - must be enabled if the source IP is behind a NAT.
Transcoding - must be enabled when the source and the destination have different codecs. This feature works
only on the equipments supplied with a VoIP card (or there is a TOPEX slave machine with VoIP card).
Congrate - this is the congestion rate. It should not be 0. The default value is 1000.
Maxrate - this parameter represents the total number of setup calls on a second. It should not be 0. The default
value is 1000.
Prefix - this parameter was added in case when calls are coming with different prefixes from the same IP
source. In case of two such prefixes - the user can assign two different directions for the same IP source.
Maxcost - this parameter will be used in further developments.
Nrdig - with this parameter - you can control the number of expected digits for each call coming from the
specified IP.
Endcause - this field is the release code used when the received number has a different number of digits then
the expected ones - "NrDig" value. The default value is 34.
b) DIRIPOUT section - this section is used to perform settings for outgoing VoIP calls.
Page 31
TOPEX S.A.
OAM Manual
Here the software application features a possibility to allow overflow over an IP direction.
The user defines for each direction name:
a protocol (SIP or H323),
a destination IP,
a port used for signaling for example 1720 for H323 and 5060 for SIP),
the maximum number of outgoing calls.

In order to route a call on VoIP to a destination IP address - there are two possibilities of setting in "Routing
Table":
- if you use "DIRIP" in "action" field then you can provide a VoIP protocol (SIP/H323) but just one IP.
- if you use "DIR" in "action" field then you can provide a direction name (you don't have any VoIP channel
assign to that direction - because all VoIP channels are assigned to "MYVOIP" direction). Here in "DIR IP OUT"
section you'll make the relation to an IP address and a VoIP protocol (SIP/H323).
- RTPProxy - must be enabled if the destination IP is behind a NAT.

- Transcoding - must be enabled when the source and the destination has different codecs. The codec may be
changed if, for instance the destination IP does know just one codec, so we must perform a transcoding;
- Priority - this parameter represents the priority of the direction. This parameter can be also set in "Signaling2"
field in the direction definition ("Define calls direction");
To edit the output directions features press double
click on the direction name and set the parameters
from the Edit outgoing parameters.
Direction select the direction from the list with
defined directions names;
Priority - this parameter represents the priority of
the direction. This parameter can be also set in
"Signaling2" field in the direction definition ("Define
Calls Direction");
Protocol the protocol used for the respective
direction;
IP the IP range for the incoming direction. Here
you can complete either a single IP (such as
192.168.144.57) or a range of IP values (for
example "192.168.1.0/24"); The maximum number
of incoming calls is set to "1". If you use an IP
without specifying the range, then calls are
accepted just from that IP. It is the same as using
range /32;
Port the port number related to the selected direction;
Max Calls Out maximum numbers of calls on the output direction;
RTPProxy - must be enabled if the destination IP is behind a NAT;
Transcoding - must be enabled when the source and the destination has different codecs. The codec may be
changed if, for instance if the destination IP does know just one codec, so we must perform a transcoding.

- Routing table
Defining the table with rules for routing of the calls.

) Press on the icon Routing table (
) to open the window with the routing table. You can define
maximum 128 of routing rules (there are also situations in which the TOPEX machine can handle more routing
records such 1024 or 4000 records). The user can consult the current settings of the TOPEX machine regarding
the number of directions and routing records in the licence window);
) Use the buttons of the right sight of window for performing the following operations: add a routing rule to
the table, insert a new record, edit a routing rule, and delete a rule for routing.
Add add a routing rule to the table. A new record will be added at the bottom of the list (the new line will have
an empty "Prefix" field);
Insert insert a new record over the selected record from the table (the new line will have an empty "Prefix"
field);
Del - delete a rule for routing. First select it from the list and then click the "Del" button (the deleted line will have
an empty "Prefix" field);
You can have the same prefix more then once - case in which you can use "Move" buttons to change the prefix
order - for the same prefix - the upper line will have a greater priority than the lower one.
Note: For several fields the length is limited: for Prefix, Insert and Insert_Id maximum 16 digits are allowed,
for IP the maximum is 15 characters and for fields Signaling, Tax and Port 4 digits is the maximum.
To edit a routing rule double click it and the editing window will show up:
Page 33
TOPEX S.A.
OAM Manual
Incoming direction this parameter is used in case of using several routing records with the same prefix in
order to make the difference between incoming sources. It has to be interpreted here as incoming source
direction. A "DEFAULT" value means that there is not rule to be applied.
Prefix the first digits of numbering, which are needed for routing the call (for example to direct all the calls to a
mobile telephony network on a certain route enter the prefix 0722 or 0723 or 0788).
If you leave empty this field the respective routing rule will NOT be taken into account at saving action;
Inside a prefix string, the value f can be used to indicate any digits from zero to nine (0-9). For example,
1f2 means al prefixes from 102, 112, and so on until 192. This feature is very useful because it allows you
to reduce the number of records in the routing table.
Action - specifies the action to be taken for the call. It is a list of six strings: PORT, DIR, SERV, HUNT,
DIRIP and LCR.
PORT - the call will get out through the port specified in the "Destination" list;
DIR - the call will get out by the direction you have specified in the "Destination" list;
SERV - the call will get out through the service that was specified in the "Destination" list;
HUNT - the call will get out through the hunting group that you have specified in the "Destination" list;
DIRIP - in such a case the "Dest" field will be interpreted as VoIP protocol - SIP or H323. The user must
provide destinations IP address and port (in case when the default values of 1720 for H323 and 5060 for
SIP are not used);
LCR - the call will get out by analyzing the LCR table for the index specified in the "Destination" field. This
field can take a value from 0 to 6. Each value represents a rule to be applied in order to find a direction at
the specified moment.
Destination the destination, which may be:
A port number (in the range 0-127);
A direction name specified in Define directions names (from the list);
A service number (from 0 to 19);
A number for a group of hunting (from 0 to 19);
An index to the LCR table.

Ignore the number of digits that will be ignored (omitted) from the numbering sent out through Destination.
There is a list with values from 0 to 20;
Insert option complementary to Ignore. Adds to the number sent out through Destination the digits
specified; the maximum allowed is 16 digits.
Ignore_Id the number of digits that will be ignored from the Caller ID sent out through Destination. There is a
list with values from 0 to 20;
Insert_id option complementary to Ignore_Id. Adds the specified digits to the Caller ID sent out through
'Dest', in this example 30; the maximum allowed is 16 digits.
IP used when DIRIP is used to fill the Action field. It is the remote IP address used to establish voice over
IP connection;
Port - the number of port used in voice over IP signaling. It is used when "DIRIP" is specified in the action field.
Note 1: For calls coming from E1 trunks and going out via mobile modules, the true identity of the caller cannot
be sent (many mobile networks do not allow this). The called party will receive only the ID of the CDMA module
or the SIM/RUIM card from the TOPEX equipment that was used to route the call. In case of calls that come
from the mobile (CDMA or GSM) network, the true Caller ID can be sent to the called party via the E1 trunk.
Note 2: The Insert and Ignore operations for the phone number and Caller ID are processed first in the
Directions IN and then in the Routing Table steps. The Directions OUT does no longer perform ignoring or
adding of digits to the phone numbers.

Signaling four hexadecimal digits of the type xyzw, explained in the following table:
Digits
Bit (from right to
Meaning
left)
bit 3 (mask
0x8000)
x
(digit
1)
Alloc BSS - used when the ring-back tone must be properly identified in order to declare
the call as answered. This option is useful in cases when the gateway application must
differentiate between a call answered without ring-back tone and a call answered following
a ring-back tone. For instance, you may want to avoid billing a voice mail box! To use
Alloc BSS feature, you must install additional software on the Topex multi-Access
gateway.
bit 1 (mask
2000)
Simulate Tax - is used in case of FXO junction - in which the answer at destination can't
be recognized. In such a situation this option has to be validated. The call is considered
as answered as soon as the call is made on output link.
bit 0 (mask
0x1000)
Retry Attempt - when this bit is 1, in case of a first failure on this direction, one retry
attempt will be made; when this bit is 0 no retry attempts will be made
First bit is zero by default it. It may be one (1) if you need to specify more than 15 digits for numbering (see
specification for digit z)
Check Operator (mask 0x0800) - is used when the portability facility is required. Number portability means
that for each call routed (with check operator) on the route you have specified, a database interrogation is
y
performed for checking the destination number. The portability database can be located on the same
(digit gateway or on another PC. From this database the corresponding operator for the phone number is found.
Depending upon this operator, the database returns a new prefix, to be used for routing the call to the right
2)
operator. In order to use the portability feature, you must also install additional software on the multi-Access
gateway.
Restrict ID (mask 0x0400) - is used for SS7 direction in order to indicate that the identity is restricted.
The identity can be hidden if in routing record - the ignore identity field is put to maximum digit allowed - 20.
Number of Digits - Establishes the number of digits that are waited for before taking the action specified in
the field "Action". If you set it for example 14, only the first 14 digits will be taken into account out of the
z
(digit numbering received or dialed, the additional digits will be ignored. The digit 'z' can take values in range '0' to
3)
'f' (where 'f' means 15 digits). If you require larger number of digits, you must use also the previous digit, 'y'.
Fro instance, if you want to specify a number of 16 digits, you must enter a group of 'yz' with the value 10.
w
digit
4)
Number of Seconds - Sets the number of seconds during which the Topex equipment waits for the
numbering to be received or to take the action specified in the field "Action". For instance, if you set the digit
w to 3, multiAccess will wait for three seconds between one digit dialed and the following digits.
Note: Value of 'z' can take values in range '0' to 'f' (where 'f' means 15 digits). When a bigger number of digits is
required, the value of 'y' may be used. A group of 'yz' with values '10' means 16 digits.
By pressing button "..." a window for setting
"Signaling" field will appear:
you may fill the individual bits for Signaling
or instead you can click the button "..." and a
window for automated setting of "Signaling"
field will show up like this:
You just enter the values you want for the
options and then click OK to confirm the new
settings.
The program performs validations upon some
values - the field called "Number of Seconds"
can be filled with values from 0 to 15 and the
field "Number of Digits" with values from 0 to
20.
If you type a bad value into one of the fields, an
error message will be shown.
Note 1: If you have selected the action SERV and the service number is 4, the incoming call will get a
flashing tone. This is used for testing purposes (verifying the connection of multiAccess gateway to other
equipment).
Note 2: There is a situation when the "Computing Signaling Field" window will look different. When "Action" field
is "SERV" and "Destination" field is "FLASHING", the window will look like in the next image:
Page 35
TOPEX S.A.
OAM Manual
In this case, the Signaling field will specify actions concerning the flashing tone given to the incoming call:
Connect To Music - the TOPEX gateway

provides to the incoming call a flashing tone (the
normal greeting music of the system);
Connect To DSP - the welcoming tone will be
obtained from a DSP (Digital Signal Processing)
circuit (with possible values from 0 to 63);
Loop - the "Tx" and "Rx" are looped together. This
way, the caller can verify the continuity of the
circuit, by sending out a certain tone on Tx and
getting back the same tone on Rx;
Quiet - no tonality will be provided to the incoming
call; the user will not hear anything. The Quiet
option in used for performing measurements;
The "Timer" field is used to specify the duration of the

greeting tone, as follows: if a "0" value is used then the
tone will be heard forever otherwise the Timer value
will set the interval of time (in seconds) during which
the selected tone will be played to the incoming call.
When "Action" field is "SERV" and "Dest" field is "PLAY_RELEASE", the window will look like in the next image:
The release cause for the prefix specified in routing table with action = "SERV" and destination =
"PLAY_RELEASE" will be released with the cause specified in "Release Cause". A message to be played on
such a situation can be also recorded and stored on the TOPEX equipment.
The pair of settings "SERV" and "Dest=SELECT PORT" is used for testing the quality of voice
through the two GSM modules from the gateway (as explained in "Facilities-Commands" chapter).
The pair of settings "SERV" and "Dest=DISA" is used for DISA operation on ISDN channels. For
example a record could be:
"Prefix = 8"
"Action = SERV"
"Destination = DISA"
"Ignore =1"
"Signaling = 0000"
The meaning of this record is: calls are coming from ISDN with the prefix (first digit) '8'. This digit is
deleted (because the value in the field "Ignore" is 1). DISA tone is provided. All those new digits, which are
collected in DTMF tone, will be analyzed according to the routing table. If you want to be sure that all the digits
from the original number are deleted you can use instead "Ignore = 20".
If you want to force the call to be outputted only on a GSM direction, you can have in the list starting
with '8' the "Insert" field filled with the first digit of a mobile call. For example "Insert = 0". Then, in the record for
prefix "0" in the routing table you must set "Ignore =1" so one digit is deleted.
Note: for a GSM port, DISA tone is provided from the GSM port by selecting the appropriate setting in the
"Category" zone.
The pair of settings "SERV" and "Dest=HUNTING" is used for hunting in case of SIP users. There is
a setting in SIP user's window definition regarding the membership into a hunting group (a value from 1 to 50).
An incoming call routed on SERV and HUNTING will ring to all SIP users belonging to the same hunting group.
You can define a timeout for this action.
Those two fields are stored in Sign3 field and can be edited through the "..." button.
TOPEX S.A.
Page 36
TOPEX EoneS
The pair of settings "SERV" and "Dest="LOGIN_QUEUE","LOGOUT_QUEUE" and

"SERV_QUEUE" are used for routing the call to a queue (for a call center implementation with SIP users
operators). An operator has to access the queue to a call routed to LOGIN_QUEUE. The number of the queue
is set in Sign3 and can be edited through the "..." button. The number of a queue can take values from 0 to 50.
When the operator is leaving the office, he has to "LOGOUT" from the QUEUE with a call routed to "SERV" and
"LOGOUT_QUEUE" and the number of queue with the same value as for "LOGIN_QUEUE" record. All calls
routed to "SERV_QUEUE" with the same number of queue will be accessed by the operator or operators
already attached to the same queue.
Tax type of billing. You can establish the prefixes that will be charged with billing pulses in Routing Table.
To can handle charging issues you must change the field Tax.

There are three methods (rules) for configuring calculation of tax pulse. The first digit (the leftmost of the four) of
Tax field is used to differentiate between those methods. Allowed values for the method are: 0 no method, 1
method 1, 2 method 2 and 3 method 3.
Method 1
1xyy upon answering the call is charged with x pulses. During the
state of conversation the call is charged with one pulse every yy
seconds. So if you select 1 you must specify the number of pulses at
response (10 in the next image) and the time period for pulse generation
(20 seconds in the adjacent example).
Method 2
200x the calls are charged according to several zones and tariffs. The
zones are geographical areas where the tariff is the same. This kind of
taxation is performed by several fixed telephony (PSTN) operators. If you
select Method 2 you may change only the Tariff Index value.
The list of all zones and tariffs is defined in the next window, Pulse
calculation based on Zones that is displayed by pressing button.
You can easily handle zones and tariffs.

A maximum number of ten zones and four tariffs can be
defined.
In the adjacent image you can notice the tariff allocation on
each day of the week.
First, you have the day-tariff assignment. day=>1,0 means
that the tariff 0 is applied on each Monday. The days of the
week are allocated beginning with Monday 1 up to Sunday
7. There is also an 8th day of the week, the holidays the
first value is 8. These special days that begin with 8 are
defined in Define Holidays
After day tariff allocation the tariff zone correspondence
follows:
each line starts with a triplet tariff=x,yy,zz, where x is

the number of the tariff and yy-zz is the time interval
when the settings that follow are applied;
after the characters tariff=x,yy,zz come the ten

columns, the zones showing time period when a pulse
is generated. The temporization values are in msec, so
if a value is 60000 this means 60 seconds
Page 37
TOPEX S.A.
OAM Manual
Method 3
3xxx the calls are charged according with a tariff. This is

an extension (refinement) of Method1. Besides the number
of pulses upon answering and the period for generating
pulses, now you can specify also a period without tax pulses
and the number of pulses per taxing period. This kind of
billing is used by several mobile telephony carriers. If you
select method 3, you may change only the Tariff Index
value.
There are maximum 10 tariffs, so values for Tariff Index
can be value from 0 to 9.
The list of all tariffs is defined in the window Pulse
Calculation based on Tariffs, which is displayed by
pressing the button .
In the adjacent picture, Tariff1 is defined as follows:
- one pulse is sent upon answering
- then follows a one minute pause, for 60 seconds no pulses
are sent
- after 60 seconds one pulse is sent every 10 seconds.
In the Tax field, there is also a facility for limiting the

maximum duration of a call limit. For this, you select 4 for
the value of the field Method. This is NOT really a method
for calculating the charge for a call!
With this, you may impose a time limit for the call. The value
for Time is in minutes, so the example above means that
no calls longer that one hour will be allowed.
SecondSign - here the user can specify in case of a SS7 route some translations parameters as follows:
The first zone is related to "Nature of Address" information. We offer the possibility to override the
"Called Party" nature of address and "Calling Party" nature of address.
TOPEX S.A.
Page 38
TOPEX EoneS
The "Called Party" nature of address is changed by enabling the first to options "Check Called Party
NAI" and "Override Called Party NAI".
The original "Called Party NAI" - Subscriber,Unknown,National,International and UK Specific - can be
changed to "Override Called Party NAI" which contains the same list as the first one.
Moreover the "Calling Party NAI" can be override by selecting a value from "Override Calling Party
NAI" and enabling the "Override Calling Party NAI" option.
The second zone named "Type of Media Required" - the route will be available just for the specified
type of media.
Possible values are "speech", "64k_unrestr" and "3K1Hz_audio". The "Translation Occured" is to
indicate for SS7 that a translation of number has occured
Ctime - this parameter establish the maximum call duration (in minutes). Is similar to "Tax" method 4. If this
value is set here (not 0) the "Tax" method 4 will be ignored.
Search Mode - this parameter is used for routing in case of using routes with the same prefix. In such a case a
method for overflowing and dividing the traffic between several routes must be provided. Each route from such
a group must have "Retry Atempt" option in "Signaling field" (0x1000).
Overflow is performed if one of the following situations occurs:
- When the call is routed on VoIP - the main application is checking if number of simultaneously calls is
greater then the maximum number of output calls established in diripout settings (see DIRIPOUT section);
- When the call is dropped from the remote side with a release cause which is set for rerouting in "trafic.cfg".
For example to reroute on congestion message the line "rerouteoncause 34 1" must be added in "trafic.cfg".
We assume this premise in the following explanations. This parameter is used in conjunction with
"Search Param" parameters:
Search Mode
Search Param
Significance
ASR
Not used
The route will be chosen based on ASR value
ACD

The route will be chosen based on ACD value

The call will be routed based on direction priority (direction
specified in "dest" field).
Calls from the routing group (with the same prefix) will go
mostly on the direction with the highest priority. If the
maximum number of calls is reached (for example for a
direction specified in "DIR IP OUT" settings when "Max
Calls Out" value is passed

- LCR Table
Press the icon (" ") for the "LCR

index table" defining. In this table there are
displayed the 8 indexes of LCR rules. Each
index includes information about the selected
direction, for specified time intervals on each
day of the week and about the days that were
declared national holidays (non-working days).
)
Edit a certain LCR index, double click
on that index and the window below will be
displayed on the screen:
Note: when the dialog window for "Table modification" appears, the information is displayed by default for
"Monday".
For each day of the week, a list shows up with the time periods (intervals) that specify the direction to
be used. In the image above, for 00:00 until 24:00 the direction "LOCAL" will be used. The periods are
structured as hours and minutes separated by character ":".
When the user modifies the selection in the list, the fields which are located at the bottom of the
window are filled with the line information: period "From" to "Until" and the current direction.
These values can be modify and validate by option "Mod". If you select the Add" option, a new line
will be added in the list. The "Del" option is used to delete a record from the list.
The periods are checked before adding or modifying operation. An error message is generated if the
character ":" is not preserved or the values used are wrong (hours or minutes).
The From field has the value 0020, without :. The field in error is shown with red, and the error
message is Bad value for field From.
Note: The lines that are containing "255" instead of a declared name direction are not saved in the "LCR" file.
The format of the "LCR" file is compacted in order to have a smaller size. An example of LCR file content is as
follows:
#---LCR INDEX FILE--#Day type Mon=0x01 Tue=0x02 Wen=0x04 Thu=0x08 Fri=0x10 Sat=0x20 Sun=0x40 Holyday=0x80
#s index_lcr day_type_bitmap(%x) start_hour:min end_hour:min dir(%x)

l 07 4 11:45 12:23 8
l 07 4 12:23 12:31 1
l 07 4 12:31 18:50 8
Each line is containing a letter 'l', a LCR index number (for example 00 and 07), a mask (each day of
the week has an identifier constant (Mon=0x01 Tue=0x02 Wen=0x04 Thu=0x08 Fri=0x10 Sat=0x20 Sun=0x40
Holyday=0x80), periods used to define an interval and finally an index to specify the direction used. This is the
index in the "Directions Names" table (a value from 0 to 19).
Note: If the same periods and the same direction are used on different days (but for the same LCR index) then
instead of two records in the file will be written only one record with the field "mask" completed by an OR
operation between those days. For example "1e" is used to identify Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Press the Restriction Classes icon (" ") for defining certain classes of restrictions for the calls.
On the screen will appear the Restriction classes window which contains the restrictions for every defined
direction.
)
Double click on the class line for editing or modifying the restriction of a class.
Using the window that appears for inserting the restriction. There are 20 restrictions for each class.
Rules for establishing restrictions:
Each restriction has 8 characters. The characters can be any figure or the letters 'a' or 'f':
- 'a' represents the figure 0 (zero). For instance a subscriber with the restriction aa000000 won't be able to
make calls started with digits "00" (international phone calls).
- 'f' represents "any figure". For example, if you define the restriction f0000000 for a certain port it won't be
able to call any number - it will be able only to receive phone calls.
- '0' signifies the end of the restriction rule. If in a restriction field there are eight "0" figures this means that
no restriction has been defined for that field.
A class can inherit one or more restriction classes. For instance, if in a class we have the restriction
000000xx, where xx is the hexadecimal value corresponding to another class of restrictions, then our class
will inherit all the restrictions that have been defined in the xx class, to which there will be added the
restrictions defined in the current class.

- Callback Table
Press the icon (" ") for defining the table with callback subscribers and their access rights and the
"Callback table" window will appear:
Callback services assure lower costs for the mobile subscribers: from a mobile phone you just call the
Topex gateway and hang up. The software checks identity on incoming calls and if the telephone numbers are
in its database calls them back. You don't have to pay anything for the connection! This is very useful for mobile
users in the field that have prepaid cards, which feature an expensive tariff. They can ring the Topex gateway
located at headquarters, and the equipment will call them back, put them into connection with other mobile
subscriber or allow them to send e-mail messages via SMS.
Callback table is containing the following fields: "Identity", "Action", "Callback", "CallTo", "MailTo",
"ClientClass", "NewClientClass" and "NewClientID".
Callback has several implementations (depending on the "Action" field which can take the values "CALLBACK",
"CALLBACKONSMS", "SMSTOMAIL" and "DISA"):
if the caller identity of an incoming call is found in the "Callback table" and the field action contains the
mask "CALLBACK" then the caller party will be called back. The back call is sent to the phone number
specified in "Callback" field (can be the same number with the number specified in the "Identity" field or
a different number). If "CallTo" field is filled with a phone number, then the caller will be called and put
into connection with this phone number;
if the caller identity of an incoming SMS is found in the "Callback table" and the field action contains
the mask "CALLBACKONSMS" then the caller party will be called back. The callback is sent to the
phone number specified in "Callback" field (can be the same number with the number specified in the
"Identity" field or a different number). If "CallTo" field is filled with a phone number then the caller will
be called and put into connection with this phone number;
if the caller identity of an incoming SMS is found in the "Callback table" and the field action contains
the mask "SMSTOMAIL" then the text content of the SMS will be sent to the IP address which is
specified in the field "MailTo";
if the caller identity of an incoming call is found in the "Callback table" and the field action contains the
mask "DISA" then a "DISA" tone will be provided to the caller part; The subscriber who ringed to the
TOPEX gateway is called back and receives DISA tone (if the field "CallTo" does not contain another
phone number). "Direct Inward Services Access' allows the mobile subscriber to get access to private
telephonic facilities (he can dial numbering).
Page 43
TOPEX S.A.
OAM Manual
The next three fields named "ClientClass", "NewClientClass" and "NewClientID were added in the latest
versions. It allows to change the incoming direction from the current one to a new different direction; based on
such an action, the user can operate changes on the received number and identity in the "Define Calls
Direction" window.
For example if the call is coming on a GSM port belonging to the "GSM" direction then the "ClientClass" will be
set to "GSM".
The "NewClientClass" field will be used in further developments.
To edit a routing rule double click it and the editing window
will show up:
Note that the "Action" field has a button "..." to its right. If
you want to edit "Action", click the button located to the
right.
The window Computing Action Field
indicated below:
shows up as
Currently the following options are available "CALLBACK",

"CALLBACKONSMS", "SMSTOMAIL" and "DISA".
CALLBACK The subscriber with the number form
Identity is called back. If the field Callback includes a
different mobile number, that number is called and the two
subscribers are connected.
CALLBACKONSMS this option allows calling back upon
reception of a SMS message. The subscriber who has sent
SMS can also be connected to another subscriber.
SMSTOMAIL you can send e-mail messages via SMS.
Previously, the address of the recipient must be filled in the
field Mail. The text of the message to be transmitted is sent
by SMS,
DISA the subscriber who ringed to the TOPEX gateway is called back and receives DISA tone. This happens
if the field CallTo does not contain another phone number. Direct Inward Services Access allows the mobile
subscriber to get access to private telephonic facilities (he can dial numbering).
Note: Callback calls are recorded in the SMS files.

- ISUP Configuration
" and the "ISUP Configuration" window will appear:
An element that needs special attention in the configuration of ISUP for a TOPEX system using SS7
protocol is the circuit group.
The "ISUP Configuration" window allows the allocation of the circuit groups (in range from 0 to 7).
each circuit group is enabled by the option "Group x", where "x" is from 0 to 6.
"Connection ID" can take values from 0 to 31. The "Connection ID" fields are completed in "MTP
Configuration" window displayed after the user selects " " icon.
"First Port" contains the first port from a SS7 card.
"First CIC" (Circuit Identification Codes (CIC)) and "Range" are used to define all CIC values.
CIC is used between signaling points to identify uniquely a certain circuit. The CIC must be configured at
both ends of that circuit to identify the exact same bearer facility, for example, the same E1 span and time slots.
CICs need not be unique across circuits that terminate on different remote equipment (phone exchange).
The SS7 trunks can be placed on card 16 (trunk 2), 17 (trunk 3), 32 (trunk 6) and 33 (trunk 7). Ports for
card 16 are in range 128-159, for card 17 in range 160-191, for card 32 in range 256-287 and for card 33 in
range 288-319. For example the field "First Port" must be filled with the value 256 for an SS7 card installed on
card 32. The range is establishing the total number of channels from the field "First Port". For a single SS7 card
the range field will be 32. If two consecutive SS7 cards are used (for example 32 and 33) the range can take the
value "64".
Warning: After you have added a new SS7 board to the multiAccess system, dont forget to edit and verify the
corresponding settings in the ISUP configuration window!

- MTP Configuration
For configuring the Signaling System 7 (SS7) boards that are installed in the TOPEX equipment, you
must first configure the Message Transfer Part.
Press the icon ("
") and the "MTP Configuration" window will appear:
In this window the signaling point (SP) definitions are performed:
SP definition (own codes) - this is the zone where the own (gateway) signaling points are defined. Each
"SP" is enabled by marking it in the appropriate checkbox. For each SP the "Code" and "Flag" must be set.
For "Flag" a value of "1" is indicating that this node is an STP (signaling transfer point);
Adjacent SP definition (LinkSet) - this is the zone where the adjacent signaling points are defined. Each
"Link set" is enabled by marking it in the appropriate checkbox. For each link set the associated "SP" and
the "Code" must be set. The SP list is filled with the SP values enabled in "SP definition (own codes)" zone;
Destinations - this is the zone where the destinations are defined. Each "Destination (Connection ID)" is
defined by enabling the appropriate checkbox "Destination" field. The first four destinations are filled based
on "Linkset" definitions - "SP" and "Code" fields are completed directly if the correspondence "Linkset" is
defined. User can define indirect routes using the "Priority" fields. For each priority, the linkset is set as
follows: there are three priorities - represented as three columns: "Priority 1", "Priority 2" and "Priority 3".
Priority 0 is reserved for the direct route between the own SP and the destination. For each priority and for
each destination, user can select one of the enabled linksets (the linkset list is filled with the linkset values
enabled in "Adjacent SP definition (LinkSet)" zone). For each destination (with a number greater than 3) the
associate "SP", "Code", "Priority" and "Linkset" can be set. The SP list is filled with the SP values enabled
in "SP definition (own codes)" zone.

Note 1: the own SP code, the adjacent SP code and the nonadjacent SP code must have the same "NI" field.
Note 2: the ">>" button is used for destinations from 16 to 31.
Note 3: the zone "Code value" is used to automatically convert a hex code used to define a signaling point to
the other known formats: "Code 2-3-8-3" and "Code NI-SP". The user must point with the mouse inside a
"Code" edit field. The fields from the "Code value" zone will be filled with corresponding values. The option
"Apply" is used to fill back the original "Code" edit field (an <ENTER" action on one of the fields from the "Code
value" zone will cause a recalculation to be performed).
Warning: After adding a SS7 board to the multiAccess system, you must verify that the correct settings have
been performed in the MTP Configuration and respectively ISUP configuration windows!
Examples:
1) to declare an own SP0 code "8b38", non-STP - check "SP0" in the "SP definition (own codes)" zone and then
click the mouse on the edit field located in the right side of the "SP0" checkbox - you can directly complete the
point code or you can edit the code value in the "Code value" computing zone. Here you can input the code in
different formats. When you finish you press <ENTER> key and "Apply" button. You select "0" in the "Flags"
field;
2) to declare an adjacent destination code (code "8103") - to the SP0 using linkset 0- check "Linkset 0", select

- VoIP Configuration
To configure the Voice over IP boards of the equipment, you click the appropriate icon ("
"VOIP Configuration" window will show up:
") and the
The "VOIP Configuration" contains several fields WHICH ARE IGNORED WHEN "PG Configuration"
icon is displayed in the bottom-right zone of the OAM screen.
The "VOIP Configuration" window contains two zones: "VOIP" and "H323". The type of protocol (H323 or
SIP) is choosed from the "Protocol Type" field. When the "OK" option is clicked - the OAM application will load
the settings from VoIP zone and depending upon "Protocol Type" selection - the settings from H323 or SIP zone
will be saved.
Page 47
TOPEX S.A.
OAM Manual
For the VoIP zone you can change the following settings:
- in "Protocol Type" the H323 checkbox enables the H323 signaling protocol.
- Version: with or without RTP transcoding. Transcoding means that our equipment performs conversion of
codecs, that is the codecs used on the output are different from the ones used on the incoming call. For an
incoming call from VoIP that goes out also through VoIP, the RTP channel is processed by the TOPEX
equipment and transcoding may be performed. No transcoding means that the equipment performs VoIP
signaling, but does not process the RTP channel, it goes directly from source IP to destination without going
through the Topex equipment. In this case transcoding cannot be performed.
The conversion of codecs may be required if the caller uses codec g711, but the destination supports only g728,
so the Topex equipment must perfom transcoding. But if the called party also supports g711, no transcoding is
required, and the RTP channel from the caller may be connected directly to destination.
- "PG Card IP Address" - the IP address of the processor card (PG card).
- "VoIP Card IP Address" - the IP address of the VoIP card. THIS FIELD HAS MEANING WHEN "PG
Configuration" icon is not displayed in the bottom-right zone of the OAM screen.
There are two situations concerning the PG Card IP address and respectively the VoIP card IP address.
1) when the box is installed in a LAN, then both addresses must be in the IP range addresses of that LAN. In
this case the following ports must be opened if a firewall is used: the ports declared for RTP when the VoIP card
was installed (for example 3000-3063). RTP ports are UDP and must be forwarded to the IP address of the
VoIP card.The ports 1718, 1719 and 1720 are TCP and they must be forwarded to the IP address of the
processor card (PG).
2) when the PG card is using a public IP address then the VoIP card must also use a public IP address.
- "VoIP Card MAC" - this value represent the MAC address assigned to the VoIP card. This value is preset or is
given by TOPEX. THIS FIELD HAS MEANING WHEN "PG Configuration" icon is not displayed in the bottomright zone of the OAM screen.
- "Public IP Address" - when the TOPEX gateway is used inside a LAN and when the H323 signaling is
performed with a machine from the internet, then in this field you enter the external IP address of the LAN
gateway. When H323 signaling is performed with a machine located inside the same LAN, then in this field you
enter the same value as in the "VoIP Card IP Address" field. THIS FIELD HAS MEANING WHEN "PG
Configuration" icon is not displayed in the bottom-right zone of the OAM screen.
- "IP GATEWAY MAC" - this field is filled in case of making RTP connections to a machine which is NOT in the
same address range. THIS FIELD HAS MEANING WHEN "PG Configuration" icon is not displayed in the
bottom-right zone of the OAM screen.
1) when the VoIP gateway is installed in the same LAN, then a program (MSPD) running on the Topex
equipment automatically detects and fills the MAC of the target gateway. You will enter in the field MSPD
Parameters the command --no-gw. This means no outside access is required.
2) when the remote VoIP gateway is on the the public IP address, then you must first use an utility (MSPD
executable) to search and find out the MAC of the target gateway, then you must type this MAC address in the
field IP Gateway MAC.
- Audio Codecs: a list of pairs <codec no><packetization time>, which are NOT delimited by commas. This is
the list of codecs to be used by the RTP protocol. VoIP uses several different codecs, having different
parameters (bit rate and complexity).The codecs used by Topex are coded with one or two digit numbers, such
as 0 for g711u, 4 for g723.1, 8 for g711 or g711a, 15 for g728 and 18 for g729.
The packetization time is usually 20 (milliseconds), but it may be as long as 30 msec or as short as 10 msec.
For a specified codec, like g729, the number of channels supported depends of the packetization time.
Increasing the packetization time reduces the packetization overhead, so when going form 20 msec to 10 msec
the number of voice channels goes down form 60 to only 40.
- "Enable VAD" - this checkbox option allows the "Voice Activity Detection" facility to be used.
Typical voice conversations can contain up to 35 to 50 percent silence. On VoIP networks, both conversation
and silence is packetized. VAD sends out RTP packets only when voice is detected, thus decreasing bandwidth
by 30-50 %. This way the Topex will send voice packets only when it has voice input. When it detects silence on
RTP, it will send to the other side a silence packet that use less bandwidth and allows to be interpreted for
generating comfort noise.
- LOG on MSPD enables logging on MSPD. The name of the log file will be day-month-year_mspd.log,
such as 08-03-06_mspd.log
THIS FIELD HAS MEANING WHEN "PG Configuration" icon is not displayed in the bottom-right zone of the
OAM screen.
- "Port MSPD" - MSPD is a program that controls the VoIP, in this field you can enter the number of the port to
be used by MSPD, such as 9677 that is the default.
- RTCP RTP Control Protocol - This checkbox establishes if the equipment uses or not the control protocol
for RTP.
The control protocol for RTP, RTCP is used for control and diagnostic on RTP sessions. Like RTP,
RTCP typically runs on top of UDP and is defined in the IETF RFC1889. RTCP is a companion protocol to RTP
that is used to maintain Quality of Service . RTP nodes analyze network conditions and periodically send each
other RTCP packets that report on network congestion.
TOPEX S.A.
Page 48
TOPEX EoneS
- DTMFThis configuration area establishes the means of sending out DTMF in the RTP packets. There are two
methods, transmission of DTMF out of band in RTP packets, or sending out INFO messages (as telephoneevents). In SIP protocol, the INFO method would be used for the carrying of mid-call signaling information along
the session signaling path (for example to send the DTMF digits generated during a SIP session)
SIP INFO method can be used by SIP network elements to transmit DTMF tones out-of-band in a reliable
manner independent of the media stream. It has advantages of reliabilty (the tones are not affected by low-rate
codecs), of Provides DTMF tone generation for SIP requests and for Enables transport of DTMF digits along the
signaling path.
The options available are:
DTMF-RTP: if you chek this options, you must also complete the Parameters field to the right
DTMF INFO: you select to send out DTMF tones as INFO messages
None : the sending of dual-tone multifrequency signals is not treated by the Topex equipment.
Example for DTMF-RTP option: dtmfRTP 101 100 1
The syntax is:

SIP USERS
The "SIP USERS" button is used to declare the SIP USERS - this option is used in case when SIP users
are registering to TOPEXequipment.
The last window - named "SIP Users" displays for each SIP user the following parameters:
- SIP username you must allocated a name for identifying
- the registering status is indicated in the "username" background - blue - for user registered and red - for
unregistered user
- password - used together with SIP username for SIP user registration (is very important the type of letter case
using, upper or lower)
- description - a relevant description for the SIP user;
- Client ID - unique value allocated to each SIP user
- Class ID the class to which SIP user belongs; it represents a direction name as it is defined in "Directions
Names";
- CLIProxy - this is the ANI used for calls between SIP users.
- CLIUA - identity of the SIP user - for SIP outgoing calls (not the case between SIP users registered to the
connected TOPEX box), PSTN calls.
- RTP_proxy is used when the SIP user is behind a NAT; the available options are: Not Used, Used except
same NAT, Always Used; by default the selected option is Not Used;
- Transcoding enables/disables the transcoding option;
Page 49
TOPEX S.A.
OAM Manual
- Call PickUp Group it can be selected a value from 1 to 50 representing the PickUp group to which the user
is allocated;
- Call Hunting Group when the call is directed to the user, and this one is not responded for several reasons
- the call will be directed to another user; if this one is not responded then the call will be directed to a third user.
The routing call algorithm is based on Call Hunting Priority parameter.
Note: In order to accomplish this feature - the users must be in the same hunting group! Call Hunting Priority
represents the priority of the user inside the hunting group; the 0 value has the highest priority, and 10 the
lowest priority.
Buttons "Add" and "Delete" are used to add SIP users/Remove SIP Users.
If the user press the "Add" button then the next window is displayed:
In the last picture you can notice all settings which are available for a SIP user. Most of them are available in the
"Adding/modifying user settings" window.
In order to set SIP user identity options the "CLI" button is used. For establishing rules for DNIS (number) or ANI
(identity) - the "Rules" button is used.
TOPEX S.A.
Page 50
TOPEX EoneS
For each SIP user - the possible settings are:

) SIP username
- the registering status is indicated in the "username" background - blue - for user registered and red - for
unregistered user
- password - used together with SIP username for SIP user registration
) Alias zone:
- alias - includes the alias through which a SIP user client can be called; there are allowed a maximum number
of 6 alias fields.
- description - a relevant description for the SIP user;
- clientid - unique value allocated to each SIP user
- Class ID the class to which SIP user belongs; it represents the number of a direction as it is defined in
"Directions Names";
) Centrex zone:
- Centrex Group represents the "Centrex" group to which the SIP user belongs;
- Centrex Alias - from 1 to 6 - the same SIP user can have more alias which are all used for calling by the SIP
users belonging to the same center group.
- RTP_proxy is used when the SIP user is behind a NAT; the available options are: Not Used, Used except
same NAT, Always Used; by default the selected option is Not Used;
- Transcoding enables/disables the transcoding option;
- Reject Calls with no ANI if is set then the calls to this SIP user without ANI are rejected;
- Publish Presence allows to report the SIP user status to a presence server.
) Call PickUp Group
it can be selected a value from 1 to 50 representing the PickUp group to which the user is allocated;
#0099CC when the call is directed to the user, and this one is not responded for several reasons - the call will
be directed to another user; if this one is not responded then the call will be directed to a third user. The routing
call algorithm is based on Call Hunting Priority parameter.
Note: in order to accomplish this feature - the users must be in the same hunting group!
) Call Hunting Priority represents the priority of the user inside the hunting group; the 0 value has the
highest priority, and 10 the lowest priority.
) Forking Group this option is working in two modes:
- when the same pair "Username/Password" are used for registration from different phones - then an incoming
call from that user will be sent to each phone; such a feature is useful when there are more then one SIP
phones in different location such at office or at home;
- several SIP users can be grouped in the same Forking Group; when a SIP user from such a group is called then all phones from that group will be called.
Note: in each case - the first user which responds will take the call.
Note: the forking group values are from 1 to 50.
) Call Forward area:
Call Forward allows to redirect calls when the SIP user belongs to one of the call forward state;
Selective Forwarding enables the selective redirection;
Call Forward State this is a characteristic which contain one or more states which activate the redirection
- Offline the user is not registered;
- Busy the user is busy;
- No answer the user does not respond;
- Always all calls will be redirected.
In the next four fields the redirect numbers are filled for each possible situation (Offline, Busy, No answer
andAlways).
) "Call Wait area:
- "Call Wait" from the administrator side it enables to send calls to a SIP user even when this is not in idle
state;
- "Call wait state" at user level - it checks if the Call wait option is activated on the phone side;
)
Voice Mail area:
Voice Mail if is enabled then the voicemail box message is activated;
Voice Mail State this is a characteristic which contain one or more states which activate the voicemail box:
- Offline the user is not registered;
- Busy the user is busy;
- No Answer the user does not respond;
- Always all calls are redirected to voice mail box;
- Voice Mail Number the voice mail number to which calls will be redirected;
Page 51
TOPEX S.A.
OAM Manual
) "Voice Mail2Email area:

Voice Mail to Email State enables to send the voicemail messages to the specified email account;
Voice Mail 2 Email the email account where the message are sent;
) "Access" area:
Public this field is set with the public IP address from which the SIP user is accepted;
Private this field is set with the private IP address from which the SIP user is accepted;
Rules_in - if is enabled - the incoming rules set in "Rules" section are taken into account;
Rules_out - if is enabled - the outgoing rules set in "Rules" section are taken into account
In order to set the SIP identity the OAM user will press the "CLI" button, The "SIP users - CLI settings" window
is displayed.
The available fields are:

- CLI Proxy - this is a characteristic used for calls between SIP users. This field contains a list of all defined
aliases together with the SIP username ; the default value is the SIP username
- Proxy Privacy - by default this field is not enabled - case in which the identity is sent. If this field is enabled
then - the identity is not sent.
- CLI User Agent - identity of the SIP user - for SIP outgoing calls (not the case between SIP users registered
to the connected box), PSTN calls. This field contains a list of all defined aliases together with the SIP
username ; The default value is the default username
- User Agent Privacy- by default this field is not enabled - case in which the identity is sent. If this field is
enabled then - the identity is not sent.
- CLI Centrex - this is a characteristic (ANI) used between SIP users from the same "Centrex Group". This field
contains a list of all defined centrex groups
- Centrex Privacy- by default this field is not enabled - case in which the identity is sentt. If this field is enabled
then - the identity is not sent.
- Display name the name attached to the user which will be sent to destination; this field is sent for SIP calls
(as display name) and on E1-SS7 trunk (as presentation number).
- Display Name Privacy - by default this field is not enabled - case in which the display name is sent. If this
field is enabled then - the display name is hidden.
In order to set the RULES for incoming / outgoing calls the "RULES" button is used:
The "SIP users - Rules Settings" window contains a list of defined rules for the selected SIP user. Each
line contains a rule. The format of the rule is:
- typeport - with three options: Allow, Restrict and Forward. You can specify allowed, restricted and
forwarded numbers for the SIP user.
TOPEX S.A.
Page 52
TOPEX EoneS
A rule can be deleted with the "Delete" button. "Add" button is used to add a new rule and "Edit" button is
used to edit a rule. The next window named "SIP users - Rules settings" is displayed when "Add" or "Edit"
button is selected.
The rule interpretation depends on how rules settings are established in "Adding/modifying user settings"
window:
- if "rules_out" is enabled then the DNIS - number - made by the SIP user is checked among the set rules
- if "rules_in" is enabled then the ANI - identity- received bye the SIP user is checked among the set rules
For example:
if DNIS is filled with "0212000000" and "rules_out" is enabled and "Type" is "Restrict" then the specified
number will not be allowed to be dialed by the SIP user.
If you wish to restrict access to number such "89" then a rule with DNIS="89%" will be created - the "%"
character will be interpreted as ANY DIGITS after 89.
If you want to specifiy a combination like "8x9" where 'x' means ANY DIGIT then you'll use "8_9" (the "_"
MEANS ANY DIGIT).
For incoming rule - you can restrict access from specified ANI sources.

- File transfer
You can transfer files between the TOPEX gateway and the PC.
By choosing the clicking on the associated icon ("
files manager will be displayed.
"), the window for file exchange labeled Traffic
"Gateway Files - current" the left panel of the window shows up the structure of files and folders from the
system associated directory.
You will see directories named "Alarms", "Billing", "Activity", "Viewer" and Log. You can change between those
directories and the root directory of the connected system.
Gateway Files cfg - the right panel of the window shows the files and folders structure located on the
TOPEX multiprotocol switch that is connected to the PC. The directory content (bin directory) of the files on the
gateway is automated downloaded. You should see on the remote gateway three directories: bin (where is
located the main telephony application), cfg (where the configuration files are stored) and out where the
output files are written by the system. These files contain recordings for alarms, billing, ASR, monitoring
(activity) etc.
Between the two panes of Traffic files manager window you have the three function buttons shown below:
Upload button - Uploads a file from the computer to the TOPEX system
Download button - Downloads a file from the TOPEX system to the computer
Cancel - Closes the window Traffic files manager
When you want to download a file from gateway you enter in the directory from which you want to make
download. You choose a file.
Note1: The file transfer is performed in COPY mode, not in the MOVE mode. This means that if you
download a file from the TOPEX equipment to the OAM computer, the original file is left intact on the TOPEX
system.
Note2: It is mandatory to download files to appropriate destinations: alarms (*.alr format) and asr (*.asr format)
in "Alarms" directory, billing (*.tax format) in "Billing" and activity (*.mon format) in "Activity". If you want to view
a text file you can download it to "Viewer" folder. The options from tree commands "Alarms", "Billing" and
"Activity" work with files with the previous extensions.
When a TOPEX Eones gateway is connected to the OAM program, Automatic file transfer is also
allowed. See next paragraph about "Auto Downloading Files".

- Auto downloading files
In connection state, automatic file transfer is allowed.

)
Click on the Auto Downloading Files icon button ("
Gateway is displayed
)
Fill in the From and Until fields to define the time
period of interest and check the boxes for the types of files you
want (Billing, Alarm, Activity, ASR, SMS). The program
will search for these files and download them from the remote
TOPEX equipment. The files are automatically saved in
directories according to their type. The default value for the
time period is the current day (today).
"Download Billing Records (for today) starting with hour:"
- is used to download from the billing file of the current day the
records starting with the hour you want. The specified hour
may be changed.
") - a window called Download Files From
"Download Billing Records (for today) last: 100 (records)" - is used to download the last 100 records also
from the billing file of the current day. The number of last records to be downloaded may be changed from the
default value of 100.
For anyone of last options the resulted billing records will be automatically displayed.
Note: The last two options for downloading billing records are mutually exclusive; they cannot be set at the
same time.
3.6.18
- Clean HDD Space
This option (" ") allows you to delete files from the TOPEX system. This can be needed if the equipment has
been in use for a long time and has stored many large files on the hard disk. You may want to delete the older
or not important files to make room for new files.
You must choose the associated icon ("Clean HDD Space").
The window "Deleting Files From Gateway" allows you to choose a time period and the type of files to be
deleted.
The type of files can be:
Billing files (extension "*.tax");
Alarms files (extension "*.alr");
Activity files (extension "*.mon");
ASR files (extension "*.asr");
SMS files (extension "*.sms");
Log files (extension "*.log"); these files are

created by the gateway application when
"Validate Debug" and "Validate Saving to File"
are checked in "Parameters for ALERTING"
window. Information that is saved in this kind of
files is about the port activity for all ports in
range "From" until "To", values which are
specified in the same window for defining alerts.
State files (extension "*.sta"); these files are used to store the state for all ports (by state of a port we are
meaning uninstalled, free, busy or alarm). These files are used by the web application.
By pressing "OK" option the requests for deleting files are sent to the gateway. The process of deleting the files
can be observed in a list box which is displayed in the "Deleting Files From Gateway". At the end of deleting
process a request for reading HDD occupied space is sent to the gateway. The indicator of the HDD space from
the status bar will be changed if the occupied HDD space was changed on the gateway.
3.6.19
- File Editor
This option ("

") allows you to edit the configuration (.txt) files that can be
loaded later into the TOPEX system. You must choose the associated icon
("File Editor"). The first window File Editor Selection allows you to navigate
through the subdirectories structure in the system root directory in order to
select the file you want to edit.
From this window you choose the text file to edit, and then a new dialog window
will show up, with the content of the file. The selection is done by double
clicking on the name of the file, so there is no need for an "OK" button - this
window has only a "Cancel" button at the bottom.
There is a limit for the size of files to be edited; they should not be over 65,535
bytes in length.

OAM Manual
- PUTTY
Click on the Putty icon to launch directly the "putty" application.

In a state of connection between "gwconfig" program and a remote TOPEX gateway, Putty will connect
on port 22 to the same IP address where "gwconfig" software is connected. The username will be sent
automatically (it is taken from the name used for logging into the TOPEX gateway).
Putty is a freeware program, which allows a secure access to a remote computer running LINUX
operating system. A command interface allows the user to type and execute LINUX commands over the target.
When you select the "Putty" icon from the OAM interface then as username and as password for login into the
LINUX system will be used the same pair formerly completed to access the TOPEX gateway from OAM.
With Putty you may administrate and configure directly the remote Eones gateway. You have real-time
access to the log file, you can see what processes are running, the level of HDD usage, and all sort of low-level
items that cannot be seen from the OAM program.
For debugging purposes, you can see if the telephony application is running correctly, etc.
Note: for security reasons, the direct logging as root cannot be performed. However, after login as user you
may perform switching to root, if you type the adequate password.
3.6.21
- Loading hour
You can upload the time into the TOPEX system. When you click on the icon (" ") for loading hour a
dialog box will appear in which you can change also the computer time. Loading hour is very important because
you modify the gateway clock: time and date. So this action is protected by password. This password is always
"topex".
The default value shown is the date and time that are set on the
computer where the OAM program is running. If you wish, you can
change the date and time settings for the TOPEX EONES
equipment.
Select OK to upload the new settings to the system or select
Cancel to close down the window. The Help button pop up a help
window specific to the Loading hour command.
Before sending the modified time value to TOPEX system, the program
performs a validity check. If you enter for the time and date values that are NOT
VALID you will receive the error message shown to the right and you must start
the Loading hour procedure al over again!
Note: The time you have uploaded will hold true only until the first reset of the
TOPEX system. After reset, the time and date will revert to the previous value
(that was in the BIOS of the TOPEX EONES).
TOPEX S.A.

3.6.22
- Alerts
This option ("

") establishes sending out the alerts, recording of ASR values and enables several
debug and testing functions. Alerts are used in case of alarms or if ASR values fall below a selectable level.
In case of occurrence of different pre-programmed events, the TOPEX system can issue warnings
(alerts) and also send out a description of the events. The alarms may be sent to the administrator of the
equipment in three ways:
By e-mail (a warning message that has attached the alarm files);
As a call on the phone of the operator (several beeps).

The "Alerts" command shows the window for setting up the parameters for the alerts:
"Alert zone" - is used to activate (enable) the transmission of the alerts. It includes four small areas:
Parameters, Dial Alert, SMS Alert (unused) and MAIL Alert.
The Parameters area contains the following fields:
Alert activated - must be checked in order to activate the alerts;
ASR alert limit - is used to set a level for activating ASR alert transmission when ASR value falls
below the specified value. The ASR value is read at time interval specified in "Time period for
checking". To validate the ASR alert a minimum number of calls must be set. Of course, if during
the specified time period you have only one call, and it is not connected, this won't be relevant for
ASR, so it is not taken into account;
Alarms for alerting - validate the type of alarms for which alerts are transmitted: "CCS-ISDN",
"ASR" and "ALL";
Timer for testing alerts field used for testing alerts. For a "0" value in this field the alerts will be
sent only in real situations. For testing purposes a non-zero value (specifying the number of
minutes) must be used.
Page 57
TOPEX S.A.
OAM Manual
"DIAL alert" - is used if you want the alerts to be sent via phone calls. You must enter the phone number to be
called upon alert. You may also set the number of beeps (1, 2, 3 etc) to be sent out in case of alert. By means of
this variable number of beeps an operator can determine from which TOPEX system the alert is coming from:
gateway A sends one beep, gateway B send two beeps and so on.
"MAIL alert" is used in case of sending e-mail alert messages to an email address. In case of activation of this
kind of alert the following e-mail related parameters must be set: "Gateway address", "Mail From", "Mail To",
"Subject", "Server" and "Port".
You also have the facility to send the alert message with the current alarm file for the TOPEX gateway as an
attachment. The text of the e-mail alert message can be edited in a edit type window by clicking "File..." option
to the right of the "MAIL alert" area.
Note: The following fields must not contain spaces inside the value: "Gateway address", "MailFrom", "MailTo",
"Subject" and "Server".
"ASR Reading Parameters" establishes the ASR reading procedure. First, to activate the ASR reading
process the option "Validate ASR reading" must be checked. Then the interval (in minutes) for reading and
saving ASR values is set in "ASR read period" field. Please note that this value must be the same with the value
entered above in the field "Time period for checking" used for ASR alerts.
"Debug Parameters" - used for the debugging process. This facility is intended to help debugging the TOPEX
system: log files for the equipment are created and respectively displayed. If the "Validate Debug" box is
checked then all activities on ports specified in range "From" and "To" is displayed. If "Validate Saving" is also
checked, this information will be saved in log files on target.
Note: The sections "GSM" and Simserver are not used in the case of TOPEX EONES equipment.
3.6.23
- Testing calls
Press the icon " " - for enabling

test calls. This command allows you to
perform phone calls for testing the
equipment. If you click this button, the
window will appear where you can enable
and define phone test calls that will be
performed by the TOPEX gateway.
Test calls must be first enabled with
the option "run 1" (to disable test calls, a
line with option "run 0" must be used). For
each test call two parameters will be used:
"pause xx" and "con yy" which represent
the time period between two attempts (xx)
and the time to keep the call (yy). After the
record preceded by "#nr" the test calls
definition follows: each line will contains
the number to be dialed, the identity of the
call, the caller port and a value of 0 or 1.
With value '0' in a record the number will
be first analyzed with the definition of the
direction (the direction that contains the
specified port) and after that will be
analyzed according to the routing table.
With a value of '1' in a record, the number
will be sent out directly from the port.
TOPEX S.A.
Page 58
TOPEX EoneS
For example: a test record can be "12345 101 257 1". It means an outgoing call with number '12345" and
identity "101' is sent on port 257.
Note1) a good method for testing calls and to analyse the routing process is to add a subscriber card and to add
a record in the "TESTING calls" window with an installed port from the subscriber card (that port must have also
the option of making calls). For example if the card 15 is a subscriber card then a record for port "120" will be:
"0700000000 120 120 0"
Note2) for making test calls on E1 trunks or GSM cards an example was giving before:
"12345 101 257 1",
For sending the number digit by digit a value "0000" must be used to fill the "Signaling" field for the direction that
contains the test port.
Note3) test calls are very useful in finding the available number of GSM channels. Test calls are simultaneously
generated towards the vocal messaging. After the test calls sequence is started, the number of connected calls
can be observed by using "Live monitoring" facility.
You must notice that each line contains the prefix "traffic_" concatenated with "run", "idle", "sel" ,"con
and "call". In order for this new method to work, the user must create a direction with the name "SENDCALL"
(icon "Directions Names"). The "Type" field must be completed with "DIR" in "Calls directions". All those test
calls are generated from this fictive direction "SENDCALL".
- "traffic_run 0 1 test" to disable this second method for launching calls: you can type "0" after "traffic_run".
To enable the method you must type "1".
The second number specified in this line is the number of test calls that can be generated at the same
time (in the example above it is "1"). The list with the test calls is described by the lines beginning with
"trafic_call". The "test" word is used to specify the tonality heard by the called part (in this case a flashing tone):
- "traffic_idle 10 5" specifies the time to wait before to launch a new test call. The first digit (in this case 10)
means the number of seconds to wait. To this value you may add the next value (it can be present or not )
which means a range for a random value. The random number can be between zero and that value. In the
above example, the random range of five means that the random value is between 0 and 5. Consequently, the
waiting time will get random values between 10 (10+0) and 15 (10+5).
- "traffic_sel 5 3 " specifies the value used to simulate the selection time for test calls. Here also the first digit
(in this case 5) means the starting number of seconds to simulate the selection time. To this start value may be
added the next digit (which can be or not present) for randomizing. In this example, three means a random
value between 0 and 3. Thus the number used to simulate the selection time for test calls will have get random
values between 5 (5+0) and 8 (5+3).
- "traffic_con 1 2" specifies the value used to simulate the conversation time for test calls. The first digit (in
this case 1) means the starting number of seconds to simulate the conversation time. To this start value may be
added the next digit (which can be or not present) for randomizing. In this example, two means a random value
between 0 and 2. Hence, the value used to simulate the duration of the test calls will take random values
between 1 (1+0) and 3 (1+2)
- "traffic_call nr id" specifies the number("nr") to be dialed and the identify ("id")
3.6.24
- Halt and Reboot commands
Those two commands are similar to the LINUX commands.

- The first command, HALT, is equivalent the halt command in Linux and stops the machine (assures
normal shutdown).
- The second, REBOOT, restarts the machine.
After a HALT command, the TOPEX system may be safely powered down (disconnected from the power
supply). Incorrect shut down of the equipment may cause damage of the file system of files and other problems.
For instance, you will experience a large delay in stat-up of the system due to the exhaustive system check.
This long verification of the file system happens if the TOPEX EONES has been improperly stopped (without
using the halt command).
3.6.25
- Configuration list
The icon "

" displays a visualization window with the settings of all ports (rights, number, target,
direction). The list is built in physical order of ports starting with 000.
In the picture below it can be seen ports positions for which are given the following settings: 'Installed',
'IN', 'OUT', direction, target, restrictions, hunting group, pickup group. Also it can be seen ISDN channels
settings: 'Installed', 'IN', 'OUT', Direction and ISDNUSER.

- Automatic requests
Press the icon " " for auto-download of alarms and ASR info from all of the TOPEX systems that are
connected (using IP communication).
The icon command (button " ") is "Automatic Requests". Click on it and the OAM program will
automatically launch (at pre-established time intervals) interrogation requests for the installed TOPEX systems.
The request may be about alarmed modules and about ASR value (both general and instantaneous). This is
very useful when you have several TOPEX gateways, because you no longer need to connect manually to each
one to ask it for the alarms and ASR information.
Period set the time interval (in seconds) for the interrogation
of all TOPEX systems that are connected. These values must
be greater or at least equal to 60 seconds;
ASR - select a limit for the ASR value: when the general or
instantaneous value is under the established level, By doubleclicking with left mouse button a statistic is shown with the last
24 values for instantaneous ASR (for all of the TOPEX system
which are currently installed and in the process of automatic
interrogation);
ALARMS Alert - pane of the Automatic Requests window

allows you to select different kind of alarms. When these
alarms occur in the TOPEX system, they will be shown and
stored.
There are two different Automatic Requests windows, depending if the process of automatic
interrogation of all TOPEX gateways is started or not.
When the interrogation process is not started the text "STOPPED" is shown in the dialog window title.
You must select the types of alarms. The start of the automatic interrogation process is allowed by choosing
"Start" option. The interrogation period and ASR alert value may be changed at any moment by selecting
"Change" value.
When interrogation process is started the text "STARTED" will be shown in the dialog box title. "View"
option is for displaying a statistics on last 24 values for instantaneous ASR (for the TOPEX systems that are in
automatic interrogation process).
When the specified period expires the request for system interrogation will be launched. The text
"AUTO REQUEST IN PROGRESS!!!" will be displayed in the first box of the status bar.
In the next box to right side all messages will enclose the TOPEX system name (connection name).
During the automatic interrogation procedure it is allowed to connect to a system only if the OAM
software is in a pause between two interrogations. If it is in the middle of an interrogation, you may still stop the
automatic procedure that is in the process (when status bar shows the text "AUTO REQUEST IN
PROGRESS!!!") by selecting the "Disconnect" command from any of the systems. Then the OAM program will
again wait for the established time period before issuing automatic requests for interrogation.
TOPEX S.A.
Page 60
TOPEX EoneS
Notes:
Normally if you have connected to a TOPEX system you can perform Disconnect only from that system.
However, when in automatic request mode, the Disconnect command may be sent from any TOPEX
system!
If the connection is broken with Disconnect command, only the ASR and alarms that have already been
scanned will be downloaded.
3.7
Arborescent structure
The OAM program for TOPEX Eones gateway uses an arborescent

(tree-like) structure of files and folders, as shown in the figure to the
right.
Since the OAM program can configure and manage up to maximum
50 (fifty!) different E1/30 systems, each of them uses a different folder
(cfg_name) for its files.
Each of these directories (related to a specific TOPEX system)
features all of the items shown to the right: Connect Disconnect,
Parameters, Alarms, Billing, Activity, ASR, SMS, Viewer, Log, etc. and
has the corresponding subdirectories.
The tree-like structure also has items with viz_name. This comes
from visualization and indicates a configuration that has been saved
for editing and later uploading to other EONES equipments.

3.8 Status bar description

The status bar at the bottom of the screen is divided into six columns, as shown below.
The first three columns (starting from left) display indicators for supervision of the connection. These
three fields are filled with information only in the state of connection between the "gwconfig" software and a
TOPEX gateway. The exception is when using the automatic interrogation procedure - the first column is used
to display the time remaining until a new interrogation procedure is about to be started.
Thus you will see something like this:
When that time (2 seconds in the above example) elapses and the requests are transmitted, the first box of the
status bar will display the text "AUTO REQUEST IN PROGRESS!!!".
The first (leftmost) column shows the current command, while the next two display information about
the execution of that command.
First column "
" indicates the number of commands that will be
sent to the gateway. Each modification (changes on configuration files or on gateway ports) or data request that
is performing on the gateway is translated into commands. Those commands are sent to the TOPEX
equipment.
The second column and the third column are showing protocol messages, protocol which is
implemented between "gwconfig" software and the connected gateway. These messages enclose the name of
TOPEX system (connection name).
The fourth column displays the current date and time of the system. The format is dd-mm-yyyy hhmm-ss ("
"). In addition, this column may contain information about the
time limit for the TOPEX license. You can be shown here either that no license limitation is present on your
system ("no limit licence") or that a time limit is present for the license (something like "30 licence days"). The
number shows how many days you have left for the limited license. After the specified period, the application
running on the gateway will stop processing the calls. Then you must contact TOPEX to get a serial (character
string) that will allow further operation of the EONES.
If the license is valid, when you click on the bar
a pop-up window shows up, indicating which
features of the program are granted by the
current licence:
Basic, SS7, VoIP, CallBack, Portability and Tax.
At the bottom you may see the version of the
main application (centrala) that runs on the
EONES equipment, such as Ver 4.1.127 and
the Linux kernel version (in this image 2.6.10)
The fifth column is an indicator for the HDD free space on the target:
(the percent value is
displayed). The color used is light blue if the available HDD space is over 90% and red otherwise. This value is
shown only in the connected state.
The sixth and rightmost box (column) of the status bar is an indicator for the connection:

Light blue if the OAM program is connected to a system
Red if the program is NOT connected to a TOPEX system

Display issues
The panel to the right side of the tree structure window is used for two kinds of windows.
First type of window is called "Modify Configuration" in the state connection between the "gwconfig" software
and a TOPEX equipment or "View Configuration" when "Last configuration" command is selected.
In "Modify Configuration" window the right mouse button is used for adding / removing cards; if you
click the same right mouse button over the status bar a message ("Do you wish to disconnect?") will be
displayed, asking you if you want to disconnect the connection.
For the case when "View Configuration" window is displayed the right mouse button is used to hide the
window. The confirmation message used is "Do you wish to hide last configuration?".
Both "Modify Configuration" and "View Configuration" window include in the title bar the name of the
current TOPEX connection. Only an action upon the tree command called "Disconnect" for the TOPEX system
that is connected or viewed will cause the disconnection of the link between OAM and the connected / viewed
equipment. This is true both in the first case (actual connection) and in the second case (the display of the "Do
you wish to hide configuration?" message).
The second kind of window is the one used to display different kind of files as a result to actions over
tree options: "Billing", "Alarms", ASR", "SMS", "Activity, Log" and "Viewer". In this situation the title of the
window includes the words "Local Viewer" and the system name. An action with the right mouse button will
cause the message "Do you wish to hide?" to be displayed.
For "Billing", "ASR", "SMS" and "Activity" an appropriate filter can be applied for viewing the records,
then the window that contains the list of the files will be automatically hidden. For the other options the data will
be displayed in the same "Local Viewer" window.
The content of that second window can be updated with other data simply by selecting another option
from the tree structure.
Last configuration
With this option we can see last downloaded configuration (that has been modified or not) for the
chosen TOPEX equipment. If you select this option you'll be shown the "View configuration" window.
This tree command makes you be able to view offline the last configuration: settings of the E1 trunk
cards, ports setting, route table, calls directions and so on.
Because you are off-line, the configuration can bee seen, but not changed.
For instance, if you click on a certain ISDN port, you will see all the settings for the respective port, but
the window lacks the Save button, because you cannot modify the settings displayed!

3.9 Files structure
The OAM program uses several types of files: for alarms, events, billing information, etc. Most of the
files are text type, so they can be easily viewed and also modified using a standard text file editor such as
Notepad for Windows.
The files have different extension, in order to be quickly identified: .alr for files with the alarms, .tax for
billing (tax) files, .mon for monitor (supervision of activity) files that include detailed information about each call,
.log files for recording the events (making/breaking of connections), .lch for the files that record the changes
made to the TOPEX system, .asr and so on.
The name of these files is given by the field "name" (see option "EONES Parameters") concatenated
with the current date (day-month-year) and followed by the extension.
If you leave the "name empty, the name of the file will be given by the date (day-month-year) only.
3.9.1 Alarm files

By selecting the command Alarms from the tree-like structure you will be able to see all the alarm
files from the Alarms directory of the TOPEX system you have chosen.
The alarm files are named <current date>.alr and they include the following fields:
Field
Interpretation
Current date
dd/mm/yy
Current time
hh:mm:ss
Alarm status
SET - blocked (appearance of alarm)

RES - unblocked (disappearance of an alarm)
Type of alarm
PROCUP - the processor is started. This is an event, it works only with SET, not set/reset
PROCDN - the processor is stopped. This is an event; it works only with SET, not set/reset.
ALIM val - Supply indicator
JONBLOCK - junction alarm
APFALS - local subscriber alarm
CARDERR - board alarm
LIS - Loss of Incoming Signal (is an alarm that indicates that there is no signal on the E1 trunk input)
LFA - Loss of Frame Alignment (is an alarm that indicates that the frame alignment is not detected)
LMA - Loss of Multiframe Alignment (is an alarm that indicates that the multiframe alignment is not
detected)
AIS - Alarm Indication Signal (the alarm is send by a transmission equipment to indicate the lost of the
input signal on the E1 trunk )
RSA - Remote Signaling Alarm (is an alarm which is transmitted by the equipment when one of the
following alarms is detected: LIS, LFA or AIS)
RJA - Remote Junction Alarm (is an alarm which is transmitted by the equipment when LMA alarm is
detected)
CCS - Common Channel Signaling Alarm. Warns about the data link for the ISDN E1 trunk
SLIP - This alarm event is caused by non-synchronous operation of the two equipment (TOPEX system
and PBX or VoIP gateway).
BER val - Bit Error Rate; val is a number from zero to three that shows the error rate as follows: 0 = 10-6,
1 = 10-5, 2 = 10-4, 3 = 10-3.
ASR - ASR alert.
L2 - layer 2 alarm (Data Link in OSI model, physical level).
ROUTE -SS7 route alarm.
LINK - SS7 link alarm.
Port
Number of the alarmed port
Card
Number of the alarmed card
TOPEX S.A.
Page 64
TOPEX EoneS
Please note that some of the alarm fields are meaningful only for the alarm files of the digital trunk E1.
By choosing "Alarms" - tree command for a
system, all alarm files from the folder "Alarms" of
the system directory we'll be shown.
)
Select the alarm file you want. By double clicking the left mouse button a dialog window will pop up,
allowing you to build a filter for selective display of the alarms. This filter for alarms permits the setting of options
and values for searching records inside the Alarms subdirectory.
The field "Period" indicates by default the time period corresponding
to the name of the alarm file that was selected. This period can be
changed in order to extend the time interval that is analyzed. The
software will look for records in the alarm files name whose name
falls inside the selected time period.
There is an option to view only certain types of alarms and to specify
the card and the port number for them.
You can select only alarms appearances / disappearances or both.
Note: The maximum size of the fields is 8 for the periods and 3 for
the fields that are specifying a card or a position number.
Before the filter validation, the correctness of the period definition is checked. If the value you entered
is wrong, you will see an error message.
When you click the "OK" button all of the alarms that correspond with the filtering criteria will be
displayed in the Local Viewer window.
Once you define a filter for the alarms, its configuration will be saved, so you can use the same filter for
several alarm files.
Each record of the alarm file shows the time (date, hour) when the alarm condition has appeared (with
SET), the time when the alarm condition has disappeared (with RES), a short text describing the alarm (such
as CARDERR for board error, LIS for Loss of Incoming Signal, etc, then two numeric type fields that show the
position (0024 or 0256) and the board (00, 01 or 32) that is in an state of alarm.

3.9.2 Billing files

The billing files are named <current date>.tax and include the information required for detailed billing
(taxation) of the calls.
During the development period, the information which is saved in the billing file was increased by
adding columns. In the following explanations is described the basic billing file structure; at the end of
this short description, the table which contains the billing fields will present also the new added
columns.
The following example - with an answered call - contains a VoIP call (source port "260)" with the phone
number dialed "210711972569". The identity of the call is "306";
TJI,00261,306 ,210711972569 ,19-05-08,10:58:17,000003,00001,00,00064,BOK , 16,226019651342734,
10,0000, SIPusers ,192.168.1.152 ,5060 ,192.168.1.152 ,49156,192.168.148.3 ,0 ,192.168.110.233
,31010,082b79cf, 0, 0, 2,GSM ,SIP ,CAS , 0, 20, 0, ,306 ,0711972569 ,306 ,0711972569
The source of the call can be either VoIP, E1, ISDN-BRI port or an analogic port like GSM, FXS or FXO.
The number and the identity can be subject to modifications by the TOPEX box. Changes are caused by
applying the rules about the ignore and insert operations and the maximum expected digits from the
"Define Calls directions". Also, if a route exist for the dialed number, changes can be made by the ignore and
insert operations from "Routing table". In the billing files the phone number and the identity will always be the
original ones;
The total number of digits that can be treated correctly by "gwconfig" software is 20, both for identity field and for
the number field;
The number, the identity and the IMSI values used here are for example purposes only;
A billing file has the following fields:
Field
Description
Call type
TJI or TLI (the call source is a junction respectively a subscriber)
Source Port
xxxxx - physical position of the source port (5 digits). This values indicates the physical
port position.
This value can be 65535 in case of a multiswitch.
Source identity
subscriber number or caller identity (20 digits)
CallDigits (Call
Number)
call number (20 digits)
Day and Time
Day and Time of the call in the following shape dd-mm-yy,hh:mm:ss (ending time)
Connected
Duration
xxxxxx - speaking duration of the call in seconds (6 digits)
Billing Units for

the call
xxxxx - billing Units for the call (5 digits)

This field is usually filled with 0 for non-answered calls and with 1 for answered calls.
However if tax pulses calculation is set on incoming direction (see "Signaling2" settings in
"Define Calls Direction") then this value will be filled according with the number of pulses
charged at response and on time bases (see "Tax" field in "Routing Table").
Destination Port
- physical position of the destination port (5 digits) (when the call is unfinished a value of
65535 will be found in this field (5 digits)
In case of a TOPEX multiswitch - calls terminated with success will have also 65535 in this
field.

calls
It indicates the mode of ending the call:

- first character indicates who has released the call: A=caller party or B=called party
- next characters are keywords detailing how the call was ended:
OK - ANSWER (response in the destination part)
RELS - RELEASE (release in other situation then ring-back tone or busy)
INEX - INEX (non-existent from equipment point of view - no defined route)
CONG - CONG (congestion from equipment point of view - no available resources)
SERR - SERR (Signaling error)
NERR - NERR (Network error)
NANS - NO ANSWER (release on ring-back tone)
BUSY - BUSY (release on busy situation)
TOUT - TIMEOUT (timer expiration)
AERRAUTH - when the ANI or prepaid user is not authenticated on RADIUS
ANOCRED - when the ANI or prepaid user has no credit available
AFINCRED - for ANI or prepaid user when the credit expires during the call
AVMAIL BVMAIL - when a call is finished on vocal message box - cause of non answer on the B
side
NOVOIPCH - when no VoIP channel is available
CODECERR - when the source codec is not in the list of supported codec - list defined in
"VoIP Configuration".
NOLICENCE - indicates two situations: 1) that the LICENCE had expired and 2) that the
LICENCE is not granted for the requested protocol - for example VoIP or SS7. The
LICENCE of a gateway can be seen in licence feature.
ACLREJECT - indicates for an incoming VoIP call that the IP is not in access list or the
number of digits is different then the expected value or the number of incoming calls is
greater that the threshold value. This limits are set in
DIRIPIN section.
Possible values are either ' 31' (normal call) for non ISDN calls or values corresponding to
ISDN standard for call release codes
The direction to which the destination port is belonging (it is the output direction)
Direction
In case of TOPEX software versions released after 2006 - this field has the interpretation of
incoming direction. This direction can be a direction to which ports are belonging (for
example GSM or E1 - ISDN/SS7) or a direction used for incoming VoIP calls - which is the
generic "MYVOIP" direction or a virtual direction (without ports) used just to allow
inserting/ignoring digits from number or identity (see DIRIPIN section).
IP address and
RTP port
The IP source and destination address and the RTP source and destination port in case of
a VoIP call.
This info includes the Signaling IP and Signaling Port for the source, the RTP IP and RTP
port for the source, followed by Signaling IP and Signaling Port for the destination, and
lastly the RTP IP and RTP port for the destination.
For the VoIP incoming calls, the destination signaling IP is the one of the PG card of the
equipment, while the destination RTP is the IP of the VoIP card. In case of VoIP outgoing
calls, the source RTP IP is the one of the VoIP card of the Topex equipment, while the
destination RTP is the one of the remote VoIP card that made the call.
Session_id
This is an unique identifier of a call inside the equipment software. It is useful for a call
debugging inside the equipment log files.
Jitter
Jitter is a variation in packet transit delay caused by queuing, contention and serialization
effects on the path through the network.
Packet Loss
VoIP packet loss occurs when a large amount of traffic on the network causes dropped
packets. This results in dropped conversations, a delay in receiving the voice
communication, or extraneous noise on the call.
Client_id
Direction - output
direction
Page 67
This direction is the output direction and can be a direction to which ports are belonging
(for example GSM or E1 - ISDN/SS7) or a direction used for outgoing VoIP calls - which
can be the generic "MYVOIP" direction or a virtual direction (without ports) used just to
specify the VoIP protocol and the signaling destination IP (see DIRIPOUT section).

quality, as less information is lost due to packet loss, but doubles the load on the network
traffic.
Out_Client_id
Gw_name
Name of the gateway (which is by default empty) - but can be set in "Gateway Parameters"
window.
Id_out
ANI (identity) send on the outgoing link - ANI can be changed based on the settings
involving the identity from "Calls Directions" and/or "Routing Table".
Nr_out
DNIS (number) made on output link - DNIS which can be changed based on the settings
involving the dialed number from "Calls Directions" and/or "Routing Table".
Orig_ANI
original ANI of the call. this field can take another value in case of SIP user (in case of a
VoisTel box) with call forward activated. in such a case "Orig_ANI" will store the identity of
the SIP user which was activated the forward.
Con_DNIS
this field is used in case of a call forwarding - when the SIP user (in case of a VoisTel box)
has the call forward option enabled. In such a case in this field will be stored the number to
which the call will be forwarded.
By selecting Billing from the tree-like structure .you will be able to see all the billing files from the Billing
directory of the TOPEX system that you have selected.
go to the billing file you want to see, and by double clicking the left mouse button a dialog window will pop
up, allowing you to build a filter for selective display of the billing information. This filter for billing (taxation) files
permits the setting of options and values for searching records inside the subdirectory for billing.
TOPEX S.A.
Page 68
TOPEX EoneS
The first field, "Period", indicates the time period corresponding by default to the name of the billing that you
have selected. You may change this default period to extend the time interval that is analyzed. For each of the
"From" and "Until" limits, subfields are "Day" and "Hour". The program will look for records in the billing files
whose name falls inside the selected time period.
From the source point of view you may specify these options:
- physical position of the source port
- port number (for an exchange subscriber call) or caller identity
- a direction - a name of a direction defined in "Directions Names"
- the source port type: local or junction (trunk)
From the call destination (called part) point of view you may specify these options:
- digits from the destination digits. You can choose to select only records with the number of destination digits
less, equal or greater than the value typed.
- physical position of destination port
- a direction- a name of a direction defined in "Directions Names"
- a value for SIM card (1,2,3,4 or 255)(when the destination port is a GSM port)
- a value for IMSI code
- a value for CELL code
The section "IP and Port Filter" contains several options to select:
From the incoming call side:
- signaling IP
- signaling port
- RTP IP
- RTP port

TOPEX S.A.
OAM Manual
You may specify a filter on the finalization call mode. All calls and also the billing records have a caller
and a called party. For an incoming call on E1 trunk the source party will be a channel on the trunk and the call
will be routed over a GSM interface (the destination port). Caller party will be represented by 'A' and called party
by 'B' (field "Release Side"). Depending by the side which ends the call a letter ( 'A' or 'B') will be shown and
the finalization mode will contain one of the following strings:
OK - ANSWER, RELS - RELEASE, INEX - INEX, CONG - CONG, SERR - SERR, NERR - NERR, NANS - NO
ANSWER, BUSY - BUSY, TOUT - TIMEOUT.
"Call Type" lets you to specify the mode of ending of the call.
Note: physical port position on a E1 trunk is computed in the following procedure: for E1 trunk installed on card
32 (trunk 6) the port will be 256 + channel number on E1 trunk, for E1 trunk installed on card 33 (trunk 7) the
port will be 288 + channel number on E1 trunk, for E1 trunk installed on card 16 (trunk 2) the port will be 128 +
channel number on E1 trunk and for E1 trunk installed on card 17 (trunk 3) the port will be 160 + channel
number on E1 trunk.
You may set a value for "ISDN EndType" which represents call release code for ISDN calls. Other types
of calls will display a value of ' 31' in the billing records.
You may also set the option to select the records with the conversation duration and the selection
duration (in seconds) less, equal or greater than the value typed.
The maximum size of the fields is 8 for the periods (date and hour), 2 for the number of digits, 3 for the
source port position, sim index and ISDN EndType, 5 for destination port position, 6 for duration, 3 for selection
duration, 16 for specifying IMSI code and 20 for specifying destination digits.
Certain values from the billing filter are checked before validation (by pressing the button "OK"). The
program checks correctness of the following:
- period definition (day and hour - day less or equal to 31, month less or equal to 12, year less or equal
to 36, hour less or equal to 23, minute less or equal to 59 and second less or equal to 59);
- port position of the call source (in range 0 to 319);
- sim index (in range 1 to 4 or 255);
- destination port position (65535 or a value in the range from 0 to 319);
- duration and selection duration (a value greater or equal to zero);
- number of digits (a value greater or equal to zero);
- ISDN EndType (a value greater or equal to zero);
If something is wrong, an error message will be shown to the user and the field that has caused the
error will be colored in red (while the text color becomes white). When the user goes back to the incorrect field
in order to correct the wrong data, then the red color will disappear. In the following example an error message
"Wrong port value" is displayed because of an error field on port position (a value "342" which is greater than
the maximum number of 319).

TOPEX EoneS
Finally, you can set the option for viewing only the totals of the recording (option "Display only the total
without the records") that corresponds to the selected criteria or you can choose to display the values without
totals (option "Display only the records without a total").
The option "Display only the records without a total" is useful for filtering out the records in a certain time
interval for the purpose of post-processing of the stored billing information (post-processing is done for cost
analysis). For these applications, you need a text file with values only (that may be imported into a spreadsheet
like Excel) but without totals interspread in it.
The option "Report Definition" is used to define the columns to be displayed in the "Billing Report".
These columns will be explained later in this chapter. The information regarding the billing columns to be
displayed is stored in the file "tax_rep.dat" on the harddisk in the same directory from where "gwconfig" software
is running. In this file it is also saved the information about the size of the columns presented in the billing report.
Page 71
TOPEX S.A.
OAM Manual
By pressing "OK" button all Billing records corresponding to the filter criteria will be seen.
In the dialog window that shows up you can see a total for each day (from the selected interval) and time
intervals that include: total number of attempts (field "Attempts"), total number of connected calls (field
"Connected"), ASR (field "ASR"), total duration of calls (conversation part-field "Duration"), associated billing
units (field "TaxUnits"), and at the end a total for all of the intervals - total number of attempts, total number of
connected calls, ASR, total duration and billing units.
Note1: All the recordings, together with the totals, are saved in the "Viewer" subdirectory for the chosen system
in a file with the "tot" extension and the name corresponding to the selected time interval. This way you may get
both the total of calls for several days and also a general total.
Note2: Once you have defined a filter for the billing files, some of its settings will be saved, so you can apply the
same filter to several billing files. The settings established in the billing filter are saved in the file "tax_fl.dat" on
the harddisk in the directory where "gwconfig" software is running. These settings are:"Port Type" (section "Call
Source") - subscriber part and junction part, "Release Side" ("A Side" or "B Side"), "Call Type" ("ANSWER",
"RELEASE", "INEX", "CONG", "SERR", "NERR", "NO ANSWER", "BUSY" and "TIMEOUT") and the options
regarding the viewing of totals and billing records ("Display only the total without the records" and "Display only
the records without a total"). These settings are loaded before the showing of the billing filter in order to be preestablished.
Note3: a sorting operation can be performed on all fields (except "Type" field). The sorting operation is activated
by clicking the desired column. The first operation on a field is an ascending sort. The indication will be the
character "^" which is added to the column name.
A second click on the same field will give an descending sort. The indication will be the character "v" which is
added to the column name.
An example of sorting the column "Ident" is provided for both ascending and descending sort.
Depending of the number of records the sorting operation can take a significant amount of time.

3.9.3 SMS files

These files are used for making calls from the EONES Gateways an keeping a record that may be
viewed as a Web page. The files used for this are named <current date>.sms and include the information about
making CALLS and details about the CALLBACK actions to be performed by the TOPEX equipment.
Send CALL
A call can be send in the same manner, by accessing the page "txcall.html" at the IP address of the Eones
Multiprotocol Switch / Signaling Gateway. To allow the sending of a call from an Internet browser, the direction
called "SENDCALL" must exist on the target. In addition, the call will be parsed to all the rules that are included
in the definition of the "SENDCALL" direction and the routing table.
For sending a call, perform the next operations:

Access the page "txcall.html";
Fill in the phone number destination of the call (field "Phone Number");
Press SendCall button to make the calls from the TOPEX gateway.
A message will show up, to inform the user that the call will be made
Example of records concerning making CALLS from a SMS file:

First record contains a test call made from the IP address "192.168.1.152" to the phone number
"0700000000". The CALL wasn't made ("AINEX") because no route to destination was found;
Second record contains a test call from the address "192.168.1.152" to the number "0700000000". The
CALL was not made because the direction called "SENDCALL" does not exist on the target ("ASERR");
The third record contains a test call from the address "192.168.1.152" to the number "0700000000". The
call was made successfully ("BOK"); the called part has answered.

CALLBACK records
The SMS file also includes callback records, which describe callback actions to be performed by the TOPEX
EONES when it receives a call from a registered subscriber.
|Below you have an example of callback records related to call-back actions:
CALL, CBACK, 0700000000, 0700000000, 13-04-04, 11:25:33, 000001, 00000, 00, 00008, AOK ,16,

226019451004922
For each back call to be done, a record is generated into the SMS file. The callback table contains the
following fields: "Identity", "Action", "Callback", "CallTo" and "MailTo".
A CALLBACK record contains the identity (in the above example it is the field "0700000000" - the
identity is one of the "Identity" from the Callback table) and the number to be dialed in the callback action.
The number to be dialed can be the same phone number as Identity or can be another one (if the field
"Callback" is filled with another number, different from the identity number).
In the corresponding billing file will be saved the number dialed by the called party of the back call action.
If the "CallTo" field is filled in the callback table then that number will be saved in the billing file.

By choosing "SMS" - tree command for a system, all SMS files from the folder "Billing" of the selected
system directory will be seen.
You choose the SMS file you want to see, and by double clicking the left mouse button a dialog
window will pop up, allowing you to build a filter for selective display of the SMS information. This filter for SMS
files allows setting the options and values for searching the records inside the SMS files.
3.9.4 Monitoring (activity) files

The monitoring files are very detailed activity files, which record everything about the calls. They are
generated to detail for you the mode of call setup and follow up for the calls from and towards the ports that
have checked the field "Activity".
The monitoring files are named <current date>.mon.
For a call that is not routed there will be only two records. The calls that have been successfully
routed feature four activity records each.
First record includes the source port for the call, identity of the call, number dialed, destination port,
Second record include information about identity and call number received from the destination port
based upon the ignoring and inserting figure fields from the definition of the input direction. In the second
record, the source and destination ports are reversed compared to the first record.
In the following examples you can see some test calls.

Example 1 (with an answered call):
An incoming call gets into the EONES equipment on a ISDN port no. 161. The call is coming with
number 5235 and identity 100. The first line which is starting with TJI, 00161 contains the original number
and original identity.
The rules were Ignore=1 (ignore one digit) and Insert=0 (inisert the digit 0) for the number, so the
number was changed from 5235 to 0235. The rules were Ignore_id=1 (ignore one digit) and Insert=33
(insert the digit 33) for the identity, so the identity was changed from 100 to 3300.
First the rules established in "Define Calls directions" table are applied for the incoming part, and then
the call is routed by applying the "Route table" definition. In this table a record with "Prefix = 0" is defined. In this
case the fields "Ignore","Ignore_id","Insert" and "Insert_id" are not specified.The third and fourth line represent
the outgoing part of the call routed through a VoIP port "00259". Caller ID sent through this port is "3300" and
number is "0235".
The line starting with TJI, 00161 contains the modified number and the modified identity according to
the settings belonging to the ISDN1 direction from Define Calls directions table.
Note 1: an incoming call can get into the EONES equipment either from an E1 trunk or from VoIP
Note 2: the fields that specify the modified number and the modified identity are the same in the second and in
the third line ("0235" for the number and "3300" for the identity). Identity will appear modified or not by fields
"Ignore_id" and "Insert_id" from the "Define Calls direction" window and by fields "Ignore_id" and "Insert_id"
from the "Routing table" window. Number will appear modified or not by fields "Ignore" and "Insert" from the
"Define Calls direction" window and by fields "Ignore" and "Insert" from the "Routing table" window;
Note 3: the fourth line does not contain any information about the number and the identity;
Note 4: the number and the identity can be also affected by the field "Max_d", and respectively by "Max_id"
from the "Define Calls direction" window;
Note 5: the total number of digits that can be processed by "gwconfig" software is 20 for identity field and for the
number field;
Note 6: in the billing files the number and the identity will not appear changed.
Note 7: the number and the identity values that were used are only for testing purposes;
Note that there are two kinds of records of activity: first record like in lines 1 and 3 from the previous
examples and the second record like in lines 2 and 4 (containing IN and OUT).
The first record of the monitoring file includes the fields:

For a call ended normally with an answer the file will have four records.
Note: the activity records are processed before viewing into a simpler format by grouping two records (record 1
and 2) into a single one (chapter "ACTIVITY").
There is a filtering window that is similar to the Billing filter. In this window you can specify the following
options:
)
Specify filtering from the point of view of the source of calls you have the following options:
Physical position of the source port;
Port number (for a exchange subscriber call) or caller identity;
Direction (alls port on that direction will be searched);
Source port type: local subscriber or junction (outgoing trunk).
If in Call Source you check the box Specify trunk value a drop-down list show up, allowing you to
select the destination direction (such as LOCAL) out of the list.
The list contains the names of the directions already defined for the respective TOPEX system
(Directions Names).
)
Specify for the call destination (called part):
Digits from the destination digits. You can choose to select only records with the number of
destination digits less, greater or equal that the value typed;
Physical position of destination port;
A direction (all destination port on that direction will be searched);
)
Set Destination Port Position, check the box Specify trunk value and a drop-down list shows up,
allowing you to select the destination direction (such as LOCAL ) out of the list. The list contains the names of
the directions already defined for the respective TOPEX system (Directions Names). You just select from the
list the direction and all destination ports on that direction will be searched.
)
Specify a filter on the finalization call mode (all calls and also the activity records have a caller and a
called part). For an incoming call on E1 trunk the source part will be a channel on the trunk. The physical port
position on an E1 trunk is computed like this:
For E1 trunk installed on an even position the port no. will be the trunk no. x 8 + channel number on E1
trunk, for instance 16x8+1=129.
For E1 trunk installed on an odd position the port no. will be (trunk no.-) x 8 + channel number on E1
trunk+ 32, for instance (17-1)x8+1+32=161.
Caller part will be represented by 'A' and called part by 'B'. The finalization mode call type is detailed
by one of the following strings:
ANSWER - (call answered, response in the destination part)
RELEASE - (release)
INEX - (non-existent from equipment point of view)
CONG - (congestion from equipment point of view)
SERR - (Signaling error)
NERR - (Network error)
NANS - NO ANSWER (release on ring-back tone)
BUSY - BUSY (release on busy situation)
TOUT - TIMEOUT (timer expiration)

Select the records with the duration (in seconds) less, greater or equal then the value typed;
)
Specify a value for the Selection duration (cumulative value for dial and selection time).
Certain values from the monitoring filter are checked against these limits before the validation (by pressing the
button "OK"). The program verifies the correctness of the period definition (day and hour - day less or equal to
31, month less or equal to 12, year less or equal to 36, hour less or equal to 23, minute less or equal to 59 and
second less or equal to 59), port position of the call source (in range 0 to 319) and the direction name to
which call source port is belonging (an existent direction name), destination port position (65535 or a value in
the range from 0 to 319), duration and selection duration (a value greater or equal to zero), number of digits
(a value greater or equal to zero), ISDN EndType (a value greater or equal to zero).
)
Set the option Report Definition and define the columns to be displayed in the Activity Report.
These columns will be detailed later in this chapter. The information concerning the activity columns to be
displayed is stored in the file mon_rep.dat on the hard disk.
)
Click the Report Definition button, a window shows up that allowing you to check the names of the
columns that you want to be present in the activity report:
Press "OK" button and all activity records which conform to the filter criteria will be shown.
All those records will be saved in "Viewer" folder for the chosen system in a file named "moni.tmp".
Note: The filters you have defined act only upon the recordings preceded by the characters 'M' and 'T'. If one of
these recordings does not correspond to the selected criteria, automatically the second recording will be
overlooked too.

3.9.5 ASR files

Answer Seizure Ratio (ASR) is an important parameter because it is a very good indication of how well
the equipment (in this case Eones) performs. ASR shows the relationship between the number of seizures that
result in an answer signal and the total number of seizures. Thus, ASR is a direct measure of the effectiveness
(how many of the attempted calls were completed) of the service performed. ASR is defined as the ratio
between the number of seizures that result in an answer signal and the total number of seizures, in a specified
period of time.
In order to calculate the several ASR instant and average values the asr files store parameters such as
number of answered calls, total number of calls, total connected time and total seized time.
The ASR files are named <current date>.asr.
The saving of the ASR values in files is determined by the parameter "Validate ASR reading". This
parameter together with the time delay between saving can be edit by choosing icon option "Alerts" (" ")
The lines of the ASR file are grouped two by two, one line contains general data (average and totals)
and the next line instantaneous data. The general values are values cumulated since the beginning of saving
the ASR data while the instantaneous values are the values stored at specified time periods.
Note: For a line of the file all values are calculated for the specified time period.
The fields of the ASR files are shown below:
ASR value
Average time (in seconds)
Total number of calls
Total number of answered calls
Total number of calls from 'A' part (calling party)
Total number of calls from 'B' part (called party)
Total Seized Time (in seconds)
Total Connected Time (in seconds)

Select "ASR" - tree command for a system you cause all ASR (statistics) files from the folder "Alarms" of
that system directory to be seen.
Double click on the ASR file you want, then a dialog box will show up for making an ASR filter;
)
)
Check options and values for searching inside the alarms directory into the filter;
Set the option "Period" to indicate by default the time interval which corresponds to the name of the
selected ASR file. This period could be changed in order to increase the time frame. The software
searches for ASR files having assigned a name corresponding to this period.
The maximum size of the fields is 8 for the time periods (date). Before the validation of the "Asr Filter"
the correctness of the period definition is checked (day less or equal to 31, month less or equal to 12 and year
less or equal to 36). If you select an incorrect period an error message will be shown, such as Wrong month.
In addition, the field in error will be colored in red, as shown below:
Page 79
TOPEX S.A.
OAM Manual
You have the option to view ASR results (records) either in graphical mode or in text mode. For the
text representation you may also set the option 'Only Total" for displaying only the total, not all the ASR records.
Note: Instantaneous values from the "ASR" files are used in the statistics representation. The statistics are done
on hour periods. For a single day for "ASR" statistics and "Average Time" statistics, an additional average
calculation is performed over an hour period if the number of recordings on that hour is greater than one. For
calls and time statistics a SUM calculation is performed over an hour period if the number of recordings on that
hour is greater than one. This method of calculation is extended in case of selecting more then a single day.
3.9.6 Viewer files

The "Viewer" tree command allows you to view several files that are stored in the Viewer" directory in
the selected TOPEX system.
Double click on that file and you will view the content.
Ordinary the files are viewed in text mode. There are several file extensions which are directly
interpreted and viewed in a non-text mode. Those extensions are "tot" for billing records, "mes" for sms records
and "moni.tmp" for activity records. For the files with those extensions the display mode is the same as for
billing files, sms files and respectively activity files.
3.9.7 Log files

The events (log) files are named <current date>.log
and contain information about the events that took place: date
and time for the making and respectively breaking of connections
concerning the selected TOPEX system, file transfer and so on.
If you access the Log menu from the arborescent
structure you will see the list with correspondent log files:

Choose "Log" (tree command for a system), then all connections log (extension is *.log) files and
changes log (extension is *.lch) files from the folder "Log" of the system directory will be seen. All these files are
located in the folder "Log" of the root system directory.
The "log" files contain information indicating time and date of connection and disconnection related to
the respective TOPEX system.
In this file there are saved all the operations regarding downloading and loading of files. There are
specified directories: "bin", "cfg" or "out" from the remote gateway and the file name involved in the transfer
operation. Also here are saved the ASR values and alarms gathered during automatic interrogation process.
3.9.8 Changes files

The files with changes are named <current date>.lch and include information about the changes
(modifications) performed on a remote TOPEX system.
In the window displayed you may see recordings of changes performed: date and time of change,
Rights modified for ports (access rights or category changed for those ports), Adding card (adding of a plug-in
board), Deleting card (eliminating of a board from the system). Also, the file includes the result of the change:
OK or ERROR.
The OAM application and also the remote gateway do validity checking for any change performed
upon the system, the remote system may answer either by OK or with an ERROR message. You will get an
error, for instance, when you try to allocate the same number to two different ports.
The structure of the changes files is shown below:

3.10 Commands description

3.10.1 SMS command
Choosing "SMS" - tree command for a system, then all SMS files from the folder "Billing" of the
selected system directory will be seen. Those files are used to keep information concerning calls made from the
TOPEX equipment. The SMS files also include information about CALL-BACK actions to be performed.
) Select the SMS file you want to view / edit;

) Double clicking on it and a dialog window will pop up, allowing you to build a filter for selective display of the
SMS information;
) Set the options and values for searching records inside the SMS files;
) Specify the following options from the source point of view:
- IP of source;
- Source value: (this value will be used in further developments);
- Record type: CALL
- Record source: WWW or CBACK (test call from the Web or call-back ring).
) Specify the following options for the call destination (called party)
- Digits out of the destination digits. You can choose to select only records with the number of
destination digits less, equal or greater then the value typed;
- Physical position of destination port.
) Specify a filter on the finalization call mode
All calls and hence also the SMS records have a caller and a called party. For an incoming call on E1
trunk the source party will be a channel on the trunk and the call will be routed to the destination port. Caller
party will be represented by 'A' letter and called party by 'B' (field "Release Side"). Depending upon which the
side ends the call a letter ( 'A' or 'B') will be shown and the finalization mode will contain one of the following
strings: OK - ANSWER, RELS - RELEASE, INEX - INEX, CONG - CONG, SERR - SERR, NERR - NERR,
NANS - NO ANSWER, BUSY - BUSY, TOUT - TIMEOUT.
) Specify the mode of ending call. "Call Type"

If you use the ISDN communication, additional, you must perform the following operations:
) Set the value for "ISDN EndType" which represents call release code in case of ISDN calls. Other types of
calls will display a value of ' 31' in this field of the SMS records.
) Set the option to select the records with the duration (in seconds) less, equal or greater then the value you
typed.
Note: The maximum size of the fields is 8 for the time periods (date and hour), 2 for the number of digits, 3 for
ISDN_EndType, 5 for destination port position, 6 for duration, 15 for the IP field, and 20 for specifying
destination digits.
The program verifies the correctness of the period definition (day less or equal to 31, month less or
equal to 12, year less or equal to 365, hour less or equal to 23, minute less or equal to 59 and second less or
equal to 59), destination port position (65535 or a value in the range from 0 to 319), duration (a value greater or
equal to zero), number of digits (a value greater or equal to zero), ISDN EndType (a value greater or equal to
zero).
) Set the option Report Type and choose the kind of report you want ("Display only the total without the
records", "Display only the records without a total").
) Set the option "Report Definition" to define the columns to be displayed in the "SMS Report". The
information regarding the SMS columns to be displayed is stored in the file "sms_rep.dat" on the hard disk
in the same directory from where "gwconfig" software is running. In this file it is saved also the information
regarding the size of the columns presented in the SMS report.
) Press "OK" button and all SMS records corresponding to the filter criteria will be seen.
In the dialog window that shows up you can see a total for each day (from the selected interval) and
time intervals that include: total number of attempts (field "Att."), total number of connected (field "Conn.")
and the percentage of successfully connections - (field "Per") and at the ending a total for all of the intervals total number of attempts, total number of connected and the percentage of successful connections.
Note 1: All the recordings, together with the totals, are saved in the "Viewer" subdirectory for the selected
TOPEX system into a file with the "sms" extension and the name corresponding to the selected time interval.
Note 2: several settings which are established in the SMS filter can be saved for further use. They will be saved
in the configuration file "sms_fl.dat" on the hard disk in the directory where "gwconfig" software is running.
Those settings are: Record Type" (section "Call Source") - SMS or CALL, "Release Side" ("A Side" or "B
Side"), "Call Type" ("ANSWER", "RELEASE", "INEX", "CONG", "SERR", "NERR", "NO ANSWER", "BUSY" and
"TIMEOUT") and the options regarding the viewing of totals of SMS records ("Display only the total without the
records" and "Display only the records without a total"). Those settings are loaded before the displaying of the
SMS filter in order to be pre-established.

Note 3: The program can perform a sorting operation upon all fields (except "Type" field). Clicking the column
you want activates the sort operation. The first operation on a field is a sorting in ascending order. The
indication will be the character "^" which is added to the column name. See below for the Day and Time field:
A second click on the same field (column) will generate a sorting in descending (reverse) order. The indication
will be the character "v" which is added to the column name.
An example of sorting the column "Ident" is provided for both ascending and descending sorting.
Please note that, depending of the number of records, the sorting operation may need a significant amount of
time to be performed.
3.10.2 Loading command

The Loading command provides statistics about billing files. This allows the user to have data about each port
and direction.
By selecting "Loading" - tree command for a system, all billing files from the folder "Billing" of the selected
system directory will be displayed.
)

)
Select the billing file you want to analyze;

Set the options and values for highlighting records for "Display Statistics" filter of billing statistics;
Set "Period" to indicate the time period (by default the period corresponds to the name of the billing
file that you have selected). The program will look for records in the billing files whose name falls inside the
selected time period;
)
Set Highlighting option and specify the following parameters:
- "ASR" (you may define a threshold: the default is an initial value of 70%);
- "Average duration" (here also you may define a threshold; the default is a value of 120 seconds);
- "Duration < 20 seconds" (a threshold can be defined; by default you have a value of 20 seconds for
the lower limit of the calls);
)
Select "OK" button, the statistics will appear as shown below:
In the above image you may see two panels which described: the upper one contains "Input" data and the
lower one "Output" data.
Statistics are provided for each port, they include the following columns:
Port",
"Dir" (direction),
"Type" (which may be E1R2, ISDN, SS7 and R1),
"SIM" (the number of the SIM card is not used on the TOPEX EONES equipment),
"Attempts" (number of calls attempts),
"Connected" (number of calls connected),
"ASR",
"Minutes" (number of minutes of conversation),
"Duration" (average duration of the conversations) and "Duration<" (percentage of calls which have
duration below 20 seconds).
Highlighting is done with red color and can appear on the columns: "ASR", "Duration" and "Duration<".
The lists in the two panels are filled only with ports that have been active, that is from which or to
which calls where made or routed.
Each list contains at the bottom a total statistic and statistics over directions.
For the Output area there are also shown statistics for each call.

TOPEX EoneS
By clicking on a record from the one of the lists an additional image will be provided, displaying
graphically what happened to the calls: normal completion, release, errors.
The image contains three columns: first column from the left contains a statistic over calls (on that port,
on a direction or on total): TOTAL number, "Completed", "Release", "Inex", "Cong", "Serr", "Nerr", "Nans",
"Busy" and "Tout". The second column contains a statistic over calls ended from the "A" part and the last
column a statistic over calls ended from "B" part.
3.11 Statistics description

3.11.1 ASR statistics
As you can see in the previous image the ASR value evolution is shown for the time interval from 00
hours to 23 hours. On the right side there are displayed ASR values for each time period. Note that during hours
4 to 8 there are no calls. The Print button at the bottom of the window allows you to print the graphic.
3.11.2 Average time statistics
This statistic is about the mean time of calls. The above image shows for the 00-15 interval the
evolution of the average values for the duration of the calls. On the right side there are displayed average time
values for each period (in seconds).
Page 83
TOPEX S.A.
OAM Manual
3.11.3 Calls statistics
For the same time period you may see the evolution of number of total calls ("Total Calls"), total calls
ending with response ("Connected"), total calls released from the calling party ("ARELS") and total calls
released from the called party ("BRELS"). On the right side there are displayed those values for each hour
period. Each type of values is coded with a specific color: blue = total, red = connected, and so on.
3.11.4 Total seized time and connected time statistics
In the image above you can observe for the 00-15 time period the evolution of values: total seized
("TIME") and connected time ("TIMECON"). In the right side there are shown the values in seconds for each
hour period.
Text representation when selected, it displays all records from the ASR files as text only. As shown below,
the records are grouped two by two, with general and instantaneous ASR values.
Lines preceding by character 'G' or 'I' show if the record is general or instantaneous; ASR value is
following and after this follows "MT" characters, the average time of speaking (in seconds), record time, total
number of calls ("CALLS"), total number of connected calls ("CONN"), total number of calling part release calls
("ARELS"), total number of called part release calls ("BRELS"). Next is total seized time ("TIME") and connected
time ("TCON") both of them in seconds.
When more then one file is displayed a total is displayed for instantaneous records. For ASR and
average time a medium is realized on number of records in hour period. For the other values a sum is provided.
There is at the end a total for instantaneous records and on hour periods: ASR and average time,
number of calls and time values.

3.12 Password mode protection

The "gwconfig" software includes a multiple (hierarchical) password protection implementation. This
means that different categories of users (authenticated by passwords) may have different rights.
The Password protection mode is useful when several users are working with "gwconfig" software
and certain actions on TOPEX equipment must be performed carefully.
The implementation assumes that one user is the administrator of the "gwconfig" software, so the first
step is to create such a privileged user.
The definition of the administrator is achieved by the option "Users definition".
If you go to password-protected mode without defining of an administrator, it won't work and an error
message will show up.
Press the icon
("User definition") for defining an administrator;
)
Enter the initial password "TOPEX" in the access password window; enter the identification data for the
administrator;
)
Add an user to the list, by selecting the button Add.
In case of the definition for the administrator the two possible Rights are already selected: both
"Changes allowed" and "Transfer allowed".
For each new user two fields must be always filled: "Name" and "Password". An additional window is
used to confirm name and password.
Note: Only the administrator can perform actions over definition of users.
He can add, edit and delete other users. There is a restriction that specifies that the administrator
cannot be deleted.
Once the definition of an administrator is done, the subsequent access to the icon "Users definition"
will require administrator name and password:
)
Select the option
("Password mode") to enter into password-protected mode, it requires the
administrator name and password.
Protected mode is indicated on the title bar of the "gwconfig" software by the words "protected mode"
at the end. After protected mode is launched then another action on the icon "Password mode" will end this
mode.
When protected mode is started then all subsequent access (connections) to the TOPEX system(s) will
be protected by additionally requiring user identification.
A user without any of the two rights (changing and transferring of files) will be able only to connect to
gateway(s) and see current status and settings. He will be without any possibility to change data and transfer
files.
A user with the right to transfer files will be able moreover to transfer files from the TOPEX gateway but
not to change the data.
Finally a user with all the rights will have full control of the TOPEX system(s), being able both to
transfer files and to perform data changes.

3.13 Connecting to a TOPEX Eones system

If you connect for the first time to a TOPEX gateway, you must first add a new system to the tree-like
structure. In the Systems menu click on Add. The following window will appear, asking you to add another
TOPEX system to the arborescent structure.
Directory
)
Enter a name for the folder in which the file downloaded from the TOPEX EONES Multiprotocol Switch
/ Signaling Gateway will be stored.
Name
)
Enter a name for the TOPEX system you want to add.

You have two exclusive options for the communication with the TOPEX Eones equipment:
Serial communication
)
If this field is checked, the OAM program will communicate with the TOPEX system through the
specified serial port.
Serial Port num
)
Number of the serial port of the computer through which the connection with the TOPEX system is
achieved.
IP communication
)
If this is checked, the OAM program will communicate with the TOPEX system via IP. You must select
either serial or IP for communication!
IP address
)
Enter your IP address assigned to the system.
IP Port num
)
You must enter the number of the port through which the communication with the system is achieved.
The value is 9009.
DialUp Connection
)
Create a dial-up connection using the classic procedure (in case of IP communication allows this
setting). The Dialup Connection must be created from Windows (from "Dial-Up Networking") and the connection
name must not contain the character space inside the text.
Option Use PPP address is used to indicate to the Gwconfig application that it must connect to the address
of the dialup server, after a successful connection.
If this option is NOT checked, then the Gwconfig program will try to connect to the address specified
in the field IP address located in the IP communication zone.
Note: On the TOPEX Eones system there is a configuration file that specifies the IP addresses, so the IP
address to connect to may be deferent from the one specified above.
If the option Use PPP address is checked, upon achieving DialUp connection the TOPEX system
automatically connects to the IP address from the dial-up server.
If the DialUp Connection option is checked you may select a dialup connection from "DialUp
connection name". You must enter a "DialUp Number" which overrides the number used at the creation of the
Dialup Connection. Also by pressing "Edit" button you can override the "User" and "Password" used in the
process of authentication.
You must note that if changes are made to "User" or "Password", fields, those changes will be also
made in the Windows registry.
The field "Connection Timeout" is the time (in seconds) to wait from the moment of starting the DialUp
connection to the obtaining of the connection state.

A value check is performed upon the value for serial port. If the value you entered is not in the allowed
range (1 to 12) an error message will be shown and the incorrect field will be colored in red. Value checks are
also performed upon fields Directory and Name. If one value is not filled or you try to enter a name that
already exists (is used for another TOPEX system) then an error message will be displayed and the incorrect
field will be colored in red as shown in the following image:
Save confirms the settings and adds to the arborescent structure a TOPEX system with the parameters you
have specified

Print the print icon, located in the upper right corner of each window, allows you to print directly the image of
the current window. This way, you may get very fast and easily a hardcopy of the current configuration window
with a single click of the mouse.
)
)
Follow the logging in procedure;

Enter your user name and password.
If the name and password correspond with one of the accounts defined on the local workstation, the
OAM program will try downloading the configuration files. If the username and password do not match, you will
get an error message.
The TOPEX Eones system begins the downloading. After the connection is successfully established
the OAM program tries to download the configuration information as is shown bellow.
You will see a progress indicator for each of the configuration files downloaded, respectively:
File with information about the installed cards ("card.bin");
File with information about the port settings ("port.bin");
File with information about directions name ("dirname.cfg");
File with information about established directions ("dir.bin");
File with information about restrictions established ("restr.bin");
File with information about the LCR table ("lcr.cfg" - LCR is an abbreviation to Least Cost Routing);
File with information about the CALLBACK table ("callback.cfg");
Files with information for defining the parameters for alerting and programming of the test calls
("trafic.cfg");
File with information concerning the parameters used for communication between a TOPEX gateway
and the "gwconfig" application, and the parameters used for debug purposes ("exec.cfg");
File that contains the IP settings of the gateway ("network.cfg");
Files with information about the signaling point allocation ("mtpcfg") and CIC (circuit identification
codes) allocation to gateway ports ("isup.cfg"), files used in case of SS7 card presence;
Files used for VOIP-H323 configuration: "VoIP.cfg" and "h323.cfg".

3.13.1 Error messages generated by the program

1. The OAM program tries up to four times to connect to the
system. If it cant connect at the third retry (fourth time) it will
display an error message.
Thus, if in the authentication window the user name or the
password are wrong, then the message Authentication failed
will appear on the screen.
When you try to connect through IP and another user is

connected to the equipment, the error message will appear on
the screen: Another user is connected.
2. If the username and password do not match, you can try again to log-in. But after 4 (four) unsuccessful
attempts to log-in you will receive an error message: Password Authentication Retry Error. You will NOT be
able to see or to change the configuration of the system.
3. If the program does not receive from the system one or more of the configuration files, it will display the
following error message:
4. If during the downloading process or during the connection state the program encounters several consecutive
communication errors, then the message "Passing LAPD Retry Error" will show up and the connection will be
broken.
5. If the connection between the computer and the system is
lost (in case of IP communication) an error message will be
displayed with the text Connection lost.
Note1: If one Eones system is already connected, you cant connect to another TOPEX system only one
connection at a time is permitted! Thus, the OAM software includes a protection against starting the program
more than once.
If you need to start more than one instance of the program then you must use the following command
for running the OAM software:
gwconfig.exe d or gwconfig.exe D
Note2: if another user is connected at the same time (using the gwconfig software from another PC), when
you try to access the TOPEX gateway you will get an error message. This message indicates the IP address
from which the connection to that gateway has already been accepted.
Note3: Remember that there are two types of windows used by the OAM program. There is one window
displaying the content of the files and another window for viewing and changing the configuration (settings) of
the TOPEX systems. When you work with files content you will be able to operate upon the commands from the
tree-like structure for the equipment you want and with the right mouse button you will be able to hide the
window.
When you work (change or view) with a certain configuration, this configuration can be hidden using
the right mouse button.
If the OAM program is in the state of connection to one of the systems, by clicking with the right mouse
button you will make pop up a window with the option of disconnecting from the current system.

3.13.2 Viewing and configuring the ports

Once the configuration files are downloaded, in the right pane of the screen a Modify Configuration
window will be displayed. You can view and change the current configuration (settings) of the equipment.
The window is divided into several distinct areas:

Topmost, a menu bar with names "Systems", "Facilities", "About", "Help" and "Exit";

Underneath it, a toolbar with different command buttons with icons;
To the left, the tree-like structure of installed TOPEX gateways;
The right panel, blue, with several successive screens with three slots each. Every slot may hold a 2E1
trunk or a VoIP card;
At the bottom right, the navigation arrows that allows you to go from one configuration screen to
another
Under it, the Card status area, showing the alarms for the boards
Only if a board with SS7 signaling card is present in the System, another area will show up in the
panel: Remote SP accessibility". This panel is always in the last configuration pane
At the bottom , the Status bar
Types of boards:

3.13.3 Port status

The middle of the screen shows groups of three slots each, numbered 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and so on, up
to 9, 10, 11. You may install up to 11 (eleven) digital boards (2E1 or VoIP) in a TOPEX EONES system, so
the last slot, no 11, will be always empty.
At the bottom of the screen (bottom right corner) there are left and
right navigation arrows. These arrows allow you to go from one group
of three slots to the next one or to go back.
Click the right arrow to go to the second group of three slots:
TOPEX S.A.
Page 90
TOPEX EoneS
The third (and last in this example) group of three slots:
You can have maximum 11 digital boards and 1408 ports.

Each port is shown as a small rectangle marked with a letter (character) followed by a four-digit
number. The letter is an identifier for the type of board the boards with E1 trunks with R2 signaling feature the
letter D, the VOIP cards subscriber boards feature V, the boards with SS7 signaling display a T, etc.
The four-digit number that follows the letter is the number of the port (the position for that port), such as
V01, I129, D769 or D1086.
The alarms for the respective E1 boards are also shown as rectangles with corresponding names: LIS,
AIS, LFA, RJA, BER, etc. The color of these rectangles turns to red in case of emergence of an alarm.
When the user selects the icon "Status monitoring" in a connection state the port representation is
changed. In the connected state the color used to display each port is changed according to the port status:
used port- white color, port in alarm - red color, invalid position -light blue (invalid position means "Installed"
field not set or card error) and available port - dark blue.
Every port from each installed card can be individually configured by clicking on corresponding port.
Depending on port type different parameters may be set, such as Category, Direction, IN, OUT etc.
The indication "SC" is used to highlight the signaling channels.
To add a board in the current configuration of the TOPEX equipment, right click on an uninstalled card
position (a light blue rectangle meaning empty slot). Then select Add card x, where x is the number of the slot
that is available.
You will be asked for the password: In the window Access password enter the password TOPEX
then select OK.
Select OK to confirm the addition of a new board or Cancel if you dont want to add a new board.
Page 91
TOPEX S.A.
OAM Manual

Select the type of the card you want to install and then click OK to confirm. Select Cancel if you
want to abort the procedure and close the window.
E1 CARD CONFIGURATION
If you select an E1 card, the options are:
E1R2;
ISDN;
SS7;
R1.
These options are respectively for E1 trunk with R2 signaling,

ISDN-PRI, SS7 signaling or R1 signaling.
Previous Topex systems had limited E1 capabilities, the E1
boards could be added only on card positions 16, 17, 32 and
33. But EONES lets you ad as much as 11 cards with two E1
trunks each, on any slot that is available (free).
E1 CARD with R2 signaling
If you choose an E1R2 card, you must then select the

adequate trunk settings (choosing a R1 card is similar)
For each kind E1 there are some common settings that
include:
Clock
"Synchronize Clock" - the clock is synchronized,

generated according to the clock received (from the
remote equipment connected to the TOPEX
gateway).
"Non Generate Clock" allows or not the internal

clock of the gateway to be generated by this trunk
module. If the gateway contains more than one E1
trunk, by checking the "Non Generate Clock" you
inhibit the generation of the local signalization signal
from this E1 module.
CRC Options:
"none" (does not use CRC);
"Send MFAS" - send MultiFrame Alignment Sequence in the dedicated bits of channel 0 of the
frame;
"Send CRC" - calculate and send CRC4 check bits concerning the transmitted frame in the dedicated
bits of channel 0 of the frame. Implies send MFAS;
"Receive CRC" - calculate the CRC4 from the received frame and use the result for error monitoring
of the received signal; implies send CRC4.
Example of setting "Synchronize Clock" and "Non Generate Clock" for two E1 trunks:
1) For the E1 module used as an external synchronization criteria the settings will be: enable "Synchronize
Clock" and disable "Non Generate Clock".
2) For the E1 module not used as an external synchronization criteria the settings will be: disable "Synchronize
Clock" and enable "Non Generate Clock".
3) In case you want the local synchronization signal to be generated independently from all of the external
signal sources you need to disable "Synchronize Clock" on all E1 trunks and also disable "Non Generate Clock"
for at least one E1 trunk.
Note: The bit clock of the E1 transmission on all E1 trunks of the TOPEX equipment is equal to the internal bit
synchronization signal, regardless of the clock mode selected above.
TOPEX S.A.

)
E1 card with ISDN signaling
If you select to add an E1ISDN card, you must set its

specific options.
The options for ISDN are:
"ISDNUSER"
"ISDNNETWORK
"QSIGUSER"
"QSIGNETWORK"
For E1ISDN trunk there are two additional values to be
set:
"Signaling Terminal" - the signaling terminal to be

allocated for this trunk (values from 0 to 3; only the
unused signaling terminals will be displayed in the
list);
"Signaling Channel" - this is the signaling channel to be used for the trunk (values from 1 to 31).
E1 CARD with SS7 signaling
Selecting an E1SS7 card:

First you need to set the parameters in the "MTP Configuration" window (" "), for setting parameters of own
and remote SP and in the "ISUP Configuration" window (" "), for setting the local port mapping of the Circuit
Identification Codes (CIC).
For an "E1SS7" trunk an additional zone called "SS7
Parameters" can be defined. The values that can be set
are "SLC" and "LinkSet".
SLC (Signaling Link Code) - it must be the same code on
both ends of the signaling link.
LinkSet - this is an internal codification to associate an
adjacent signaling point (zone "Adjacent SP definition
(LinkSet)") in the "MTP Configuration" window (" ").
For "Signaling Terminal" (values from 0 to 3 and "none"): only the signaling terminals not yet used will be
displayed in the list.
Note: The "none" value can be used in two situations:
a) In the first situation - for example if the SS7 card which is declared here is on position 33 and another SS7
card is present on position 32 (with a signaling terminal associated) - then in order to use two E1 SS7 trunks for this 33 card - you must use "none" value.
b) the second situation when "none" value is used when signaling terminals are assigned directly to SS7 ports
(see subchapter "Configuring the E1SS7 channels")
LinkSet and SLC values are selected from a list in which the first digit is the "LinkSet" (in range 0-3) and the
other digit is "SLC" (in range 0-f). The LinkSet-SLC pair is unique for each SS7 card. This pair is not used in
case when "none" value is selected in "Signaling Terminal" field.
To add a new VoIP card in the structure of the TOPEX Eones gateway press the mouse right button on
the 32 position.
Then fill in the field RTP start. This is the number of the
port from where the allocation of ports starts. For each
voice channel of the VoIP card, two ports must be
assigned: one for control (RTCP) and one for transport of
packetized voice. Both RTP and RCTP run on top of
UDP transport protocol.
The Start port information is required for firewalls, to
allow access on a range of ports.
To compute the range of VoIP ports:
For a VoIP card installed on position 32, the ports

used are:
RTP Start + 256 + 2 x Nchan (voice transfer ports
alternate with ports used for control), that is the port
number starts with RTP Start + 256 +2 and ends
with RTP Start + 256 +2 x 64 in case of 64
compressed voice channels.
Page 93
TOPEX S.A.
OAM Manual
For a VoIP card installed on position 16, the ports used are:
RTP Start + 128 + 2 x Nchan
The default values are: for "RTP start" - 10000 and for "Range" - 64.The VoIP protocol type (H323 or SIP) will
be selected in the VoIP Configuration Window.
The VoIP protocol type (H323 or SIP) depends on the main application type running on EONES.
The EONES equipment may be shipped with an internal SIP stack, than you no longer need to configure.
The H323 protocol can be included and configured through the VoIP configuration window.
To delete (remove) a card from the current configuration
right click a port of that board and select from the menu
that shows up the option Remove card x where x is the
number of the slot in where that board is installed.
Of course, you must click on a position with installed card
(dark blue rectangle).
Select the lower option, Remove card x, to delete a
board from the TOPEX system.
Again, you will be asked for password. In the dialog

window Access password enter the password topex
and select OK to continue.
The confirmation window shows up next, similar to the
one for adding a board to the system:
Select OK to confirm the deletion of the board from the

system Cancel if you dont want it to be eliminated.
After deleting a board from the system the corresponding
rectangle will be colored light blue, meaning that slot is
now available (free) and you can install another board
into that slot.

3.14 Configuring the channels of TOPEX Eones

3.14.1 Configuring the E1R2 channels
Click on the port of the E1 board with R2 signaling to change the settings:
Installed - allows activation of that port.
IN - input, port used only for incoming calls
OUT - output, port used only for outgoing calls
TAX IN - signaling with billing on the input
TAX OUT - signaling with billing on the output
Monitoring - the system collects additional information
for this port in activity (monitoring) files
Direction - the direction to which the port is belonging.
The direction can be selected from the list which
contains all the directions specified in "Define directions
names". The value "255" indicates an unallocated
direction.
Second Category - a 8 digits category which can be
assigned to the specified port. This value will be used in
further developments.
The "Saving Options" section of the window is useful
when it is necessary to make changes for the entire
card (all of the ports of that card). Those changes are
for "Category" and "Direction"- you check the ones you
want. Also, for setting a certain value for an option for
the entire card, the box "Apply settings for all positions
on card" must be selected. Changes are not sending
automatically to the channel 0 and 16.
"E1 Trunk Details" - this zone contains the current
settings regarding the clock generation ("Synchronize
Clock" and "Non Generate Clock") and the using of the
CRC ("none", "Send MFAS", "Send CRC" and "Receive
CRC").
Note1: the field for second category has a maximum 8
length.
3.14.2 Configuring the E1 ISDN channels

If the E1 trunk is used with digital subscriber lines (ISDN) you will use the window described below to
configure the operating parameters. The title of the window shows the ISDN interface type: ISDN USER or
ISDN NETWORK, QSIG USER or QSIG NETWORK. Select ISDN NETWORK and the following settings will
show up:
Installed - allows activation of that port.
IN - input, port used for incoming calls
OUT - output, port used for outgoing calls
Monitoring - the system collects additional information for this
port in activity (monitoring) files
Direction - the direction to which this port has been assigned,
for example ISDN. Direction must be one of the directions
specified in "Define directions names". If the port is not
assigned to any direction, then enter 255.
Saving Options - useful when it is necessary to make
changes for the entire E1ISDN board (all of the ports on that
card). Those changes are for "Category" and "Direction"- you
check the boxes for the ones you want. Also, to set a certain
value for an option for the entire card, the box "Apply settings
for all positions on card" must be selected. \note that changes
are not sent automatically to the channel 0 and 16 of the E1
trunk.
Second Category - a category (8 digits) that can be assigned
to the specified port. This value will be used in further
developments.
E1 Trunk Details" - this zone contains the current settings of
E1 trunk concerning clock generation and usage of CRC.
Clock options are "Synchronize Clock" and "Non Generate
Clock" while options related to CRC are "none, Send MFAS",
"Send CRC" and "Receive CRC".
Page 95
TOPEX S.A.
OAM Manual
For E1 ISDN trunk two additional values can be set:
"Signaling Terminal" - this is the signaling terminal to be allocated for this trunk (allowed values are from 0
to 3; only the unused signaling terminals will be displayed in the list);
"Signaling Channel" - this is the signaling channel to be used for the trunk (allowed values are from 1 to
31).
Note1: here also the field second category has a maximum allowed length of eight.
3.14.3 Configuring the E1SS7 channels

The SS7 channel can be configured as "Signaling Channel" - when "Signaling Terminal" and
"LinkSet - SLC" values are allowed to be changed or without "Signaling Channel" option - case in which the
port can be configured with "Category", "Direction" fields.
For "Signaling Channel" enabled: for "Signaling Terminal" (values from 0 to 3) only the unused and
current signaling terminals will be displayed in the list. LinkSet and SLC values are selected from a list in which
the first digit is the "LinkSet" (in range 0-3) and the other digit is "SLC" (in range 0-f). The LinkSet-SLC pair is
unique for each signaling terminal.
Installed - allows activation of that port;
IN - input, port used only for incoming calls;
OUT - output, port used only for outgoing calls;
TAX IN - signaling with billing on the input;
TAX OUT - signaling with billing on the output;
Monitoring - the system collects additional information for
this port in activity (monitoring) files;
Direction - the direction to which the port is belonging. The
direction can be selected from the list which contains all the
directions specified in "Define directions names". The value
"255" indicates an unallocated direction;
Second Category - a 8 digits category which can be
assigned to the specified port. This value will be used in
further developments;
The "Saving Options" section of the window is useful when
it is necessary to make changes for the entire card (all of the
ports of that card). Those changes are for "Category" and
"Direction"- you check the ones you want. Also, to set a
certain value for an option for the entire card, the box "Apply
settings for all positions on card" must be selected. Changes
are not sending automatically to the channel 0 and 16, which
are for control and data.
The buttons "Block" and "Unblock" are used to send block and unblock message to the remote
equipment, on the selected channel. If the option "Apply settings for all positions on card" is selected the
command for block / unblock will be sent to all voice channels of the E1SS7 card (without channels 0 and 16).
The buttons "Loop" and "Unloop" are used to loop and unloop channels. If the option "Apply settings
for all positions on card" is selected the command for loop / unloop will be also sent to all channels (without
channel 0 and the signaling channel).
Note1: The field for second category has a maximum length of eight.
Note2: The channel 16 may be also used for voice.
E1 Trunk Details" - this zone contains the current settings concerning clock generation and usage of CRC.
Clock options are "Synchronize Clock" and "Non Generate Clock" while options related to CRC are "none,
Send MFAS, Send CRC" and "Receive CRC".
You can also select here options for the signaling terminal, signaling channel, SLC and LinkSet to be used
Note: For all the images shown above (settings for ports) there will be a significant difference between the case
"Last configuration" and the actually connected state.
In "Last configuration" mode you just see the last configuration (last files) downloaded from the remote
TOPEX system. It is not possible to make offline changes, therefore you wont see a button named "OK", only
Cancel.
When the OAM program is really connected to a TOPEX Eones system (online) the changes can be
performed and "OK" button will be visible (active) in the windows.

3.14.4 Configuring the channels of VoIP cards

If you selected for VoIP card the option of H323 or SIP protocol, the following window will show up to
configure port settings for a VoIP voice channel. The protocol H323 or SIP which is running on VoIP card is
established in "VOIP Configuration" window (icon " ").
Installed - allows activation of that port;
IN - input, port used only for incoming calls;
OUT - output, port used only for outgoing calls;
Monitoring - the system collects additional information for
this port in activity (monitoring) files;
Direction - the direction to which the port is belonging. The
direction can be selected from the list that contains all the
directions specified in "Define directions names". The value
"255" indicates an unallocated direction;
Second Category a maximum 8 digits field, which can be
assigned to the specified port.
If you press the button ... located on the right of the

Second Category field you will see the Computing
Second Category field where you can set the RTP Proxy
option.
The "Saving Options" section of the window is useful when it
is necessary to make changes for the entire card (all of the
ports of that card).
Those changes are for "Category" and "Direction"- you check
the ones you want. Also, to set a certain value for an option
for the entire card, the box "Apply settings for all positions on
card" must be selected.
Note: On the bottom side of the VOIP Settings window, there is an area called "IP Card Settings". Here the
values for the fields "RTP start" and "Range" are displayed. These values are shown in gray, because you
cant change (modify) them, they are just displayed for your information.
3.15 Options selected with the right mouse button

Once the OAM application is connected to a system, you can select several options by pointing with
the right mouse button.
You can point with the right mouse button over a port or over a card in the "Port
Status" or in "Trunk Status" areas.
Depending on the location on the screen, a menu with different options will be
displayed:
You can add a card (Adding card) to the TOPEX configuration or delete a card (Removing card) from the
configuration (in this example you may remove the board on position 0).
Likewise, on an empty E1 trunk you can add several types of trunk card, respectively with signaling
protocols for E1R2, E1ISDN or E1SS7 trunk card or a VoIP card.
-
You can start the "Debug" feature (see later in the manual) if you click
with the right mouse button over a port.
The other right mouse options are:

-
Reset (you reset the respective card);
SET or RES (reset) the alarm RJA. This is useful when checking the
connection with a remote equipment, it will see the state of the RJA
signal;
-
Remove the respective card from the EONES system.
Page 97
TOPEX S.A.
OAM Manual
3.15.1 Debug
This option provides you the possibility to analyze the cards status and to make tests for one or
several cards.
The "Debug" option can be selected for each port by clicking the right mouse button over the
corresponding rectangle from the screen.
The "Debug" window will display the port for which the debug procedure was started. The "Debug"
window can be resized or moved on the screen. The window position and size will be saved on a file on the
HDD in order to be preserved for future use.
Examples of using debug features:
Note 1: The debug function on a port depend upon the settings from:
a) Parameters for ALERTING Debug Parameters: Validate Debug which must be enabled, the From
and To range which must include the port (ports) on which you wish to perform debug and the option Validate
Saving to File must be also enabled;
b) Gateway Parameters Debug Debug Mask which must contain the Port Activity option;
The structure of the EONES equipment shown in this example, contains one VoIP board (card position
0), and two 2E1 cards.
On first 2E1 card: the first E1 trunk (position 16) contains SS7 channels (direction SS71) and the
second trunk (position 17) contains ISDN USER channels (direction ISDN1).
On the second 2E1 card: the first E1 trunk (position 32) contains ISDN NETWORK channels (direction
ISDN2) and the second trunk (position 33) contains ISDN USER channels (direction ISDN3).
The debug messages will be shown for different situations, depending upon the settings of the Topex
EONES gateway and upon the state of the phone network (calls incoming on VoIP or over ISDN, the calls are
connected or not, inexistent number, etc). For each port several cases are illustrated.
1) Incoming Calls over H323 or SIP getting into the EONES equipment:
Note 2: We assume that in DIR IP Settings (in Define calls direction window) on incoming side there are
records which allow H323 and SIP calls from the IP address 192.168.1.152, like this:
SIP 192.168.0.0/16 MYVOIP 32
H323 192.168.0.0/16 MYVOIP 32
You can notice that the incoming IP address 192.168.1.152 is in the right range of addresses for both
H323 and SIP. The direction which is used here is the default direction for voice over IP calls, MYVOIP, and
the total number of incoming calls for the specified IP range is 32.
The routing table of the EONES is displayed as follows:
The first case is with a H323 call with number 100 for INEX case and with 5100 for
CONGESTION and CONNECTED cases.

You can notice:

First the time stamp 08:46:35 and the number of milliseconds, such as 889;
The port 00002 on which debug is started and 7 the process identifier allocated to the port;
AIP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the EONES VoIP card IP address; aPORT is the RTP port on EONES;
You can notice the call number (100) in the line starting with M_PACTIV;
The INEX message which means that there is no route starting with 1 in the routing table; you may see
the Route line. A messages "dialdigits INEX" can be seen because no available route (implicit direction) is
resulting from the routing table. The first 6 digits of the number can be seen in the record "Route N
a74496... NT a74496... RxT 7fff". The first group of maximum 6 digits shows the original number and the
second one (after "NT" characters) shows the digits that result after applying the Ignore and Insert
policies from the incoming direction definition and the routing table. The incoming direction may be either
the generic MYVOIP or other direction specified in DIR IP Settings for VoIP calls coming in for the
specified IP.
Note: If the digits are not coming all together then several digits messages will show up.
The code "7fff" indicates that no route was found. The first digit from the left is indicating which type of
destination is found:
'8' for PORT;
'9' for DIR;
'a' for SERV;
'b' for HUNT;
'c' for DIRIP;
'd' for LCR.
These are the keywords which are used in the "Action" field in the routing table definitions.
The rightmost digit from this code is returning the record number which is found on the routing table for
DIR, SERV, LCR records. For PORT records the last two digits are indicating the hex value of the destination
port.
CONGESTION case:
The next step is to make a call 5100. This call will be forwarded on an ISDN E1 port. We suppose that there
are no available ports on the ISDN direction, and thus we will have congestion for that call.

3.16 Trunk status

The Trunk Status area of the window features a graphic representation of the channels of each of the
digital cards (E1 trunks or VoIP). In fact, the aspect of the Trunk Status area will be different, depending upon
the number of E1 trunks installed in the gateway and on the signaling used (ISDN, SS7, R2 etc).
3.16.1 Trunk status of E1 card

The maximum number of E1 trunks that can be installed in a standard TOPEX EONES system is 22
(eleven 2E1 cards).
Each E1 trunk is represented with the channels on the fist two rows. To the right side of every trunk
representation you can see the number of the respective board (16 and 17 for SLOT1 in this example).
For each E1 trunk, the first two rows show the ports as a rectangle with a letter followed by a three-digit
number. The letter indicates the type (signaling) of the E1 trunk: D E1R2, I E1ISDN as in the above
example, T E1S7 and R E1R1
The third row includes representations of the alarms for the respective E1 trunk. The rectangles for
alarms show a three-letters abbreviation for the alarm: LIS, AIS, LFA, RJA.
In the following example a VoIP interface (letter V) with 30 voice channels can be seen on SLOT0,
position 0, on SLOT1 you have a first E1 trunk with SS7 signaling (letter T) on position 16 and another E1 with
ISDN signaling (letter I) can be seen on position 17.
The indication "SC" (as in T16-SC) is used to highlight the signaling channel of the respective E1 trunk.
See table below for codes (letters) used for representation of the E1 channels on the several kinds of E1 trunks:
Letter Type of signaling
D
I
E1R2 trunk (32 channels on a E1 trunk)

E1ISDN trunk ISDN (32 channels)
E1SS7 (32 channels)
E1R1 (32 channels)
The third row of Trunk Status area includes representation of the alarm buttons. Each alarm button is
marked with an abbreviation for the type of alarm it represents, as described in the table below:
LIS
AIS
LFA
RJA
LMA
RSA
SLIP
CCS
BER

TOPEX S.A.
OAM Manual
Different kinds of E1 trunks will show different types of alarms:

The trunks using R2 signaling show each port as a rectangle with the letter D followed by the number
of the channel. On the third row you may see the alarms LIS, AIS, LFA, LMA, RSA and BER:
For an ISDN trunk each port is shown as a small rectangle marked with the letter "I" followed by the
three digit channel number and the alarms RSA and LMA are not represented:
For a trunk type R1, each port is shown as a small rectangle marked with the letter "R" followed by a
two-figure channel number. On this trunk the "MIC Colisee Impulsion" signaling will be used. "MIC Colisee
Impulsions" is a CAS signaling used with the Alcatel 4300 exchange. It sends out the digits of the numbers
using DTMF:
For a SS7 trunk, each port is shown as a small rectangle marked with the letter "T" followed by a twofigure channel number:
3.16.2 Trunk status of VoIP card

The representation of the VoIP card features four rows, each with 16 channels.
The total number of channels is 64 (compressed voice channels). The actual equipping of the VoIP board may
be different; there are available boards with 64, 32, 16 or 8 voice channels, so you may choose the one best
fitted to your needs.
For each channel, the type of the VOIP card is shown as a small rectangle marked with the letter V, followed by
a three-figure number - the number of the channel.
The VoIP card from TOPEX supports protocols H232 and respective SIP.
The Topex equipment may use several codecs, such as: G711, G711a, G723a, G728, G729, and G729a.
The code representation used on drawing the VOIP channels shows the supported protocol:
H H323 - VOIP card (64 positions)
V SIP - VOIP card (64 positions)
See below Trunk Status zone when a VoIP card is inserted in the TOPEX EONES equipment.
A VOIP card is used instead of a 2E1 board. This means it ca be inserted in the rack of the gateway on
card 32 (to the right of the processor card) by default.
If the TOPEX equipment has a modified backplane, you may place another VoIP or 2E1 card also on
position 16 (to the left of the PG).
Please note that the first two channels on the VoIP card ("V00" and "V01") can't be used as valid voice
channels.
TOPEX S.A.
Page 104
TOPEX EoneS
3.16.3 Trunk status of E1 ISDN card

For E1ISDN trunks two additional values can be set, these are
"Signaling Terminal" - this is the signaling terminal to be allocated for this trunk. You select the terminal
number from the drop list (values from 0 to 3).
If an E1-ISND trunk is already installed in the system, when you select Signaling Terminal for the second, only
the available signaling terminals will be displayed in the list (which are NOT used by the first ISDN trunk)
"Signaling Channel" - this is the signaling channel to be used for the trunk (valid values area from 1 to 31).
If you use MIC Colisee Impulsions signaling and have selected R1, the aspect of the Trunk Status area will be
different, as shown below.
Please note that in case of MIC signaling the ports of the E1 trunk card are marked with the letter R for R1
signaling.
After selecting the R1 option, when you right click one port the next window (called now R1 Settings) will be
displayed:
Installed allows activation of the port; if this option
is not selected then the port cannot make or receive
calls;
IN port used only for calls coming in;
OUT port used only for calls going out;
Monitoring the system sends to the OAM program
more detailed monitoring information for that port
Direction the name of direction to which this port
was assigned.
Besides the usual buttons to the right, Save,
Cancel and Help, you have two new options,
MSKB1 and MSKB2. These are two bits used for
further expansion, allowing additional selections. For
the time being, these two bits are not used for MIC
signaling they are both zero. So you must leave
those two boxes unchecked.
3.16.4 Trunk status of E1 card with SS7 settings

If you use a SS7 trunk, select the SS7 box in the window E1 Card configuration so you may
configure the E1 trunk for System 7 signaling.
Note: That SS7 features several additional parameters, you must perform adequate configuration of parameters
for SS7 as indicated in the following paragraphs.
Define the "SS7 Parameters" using the bottom of the settings window an additional zone, which is
called "SS7 Parameters".
The values that you can set here are "SLC" and "LinkSet".
SLC (Signaling Link Code) you must have the same code in both ends of the signaling link.
Linkset - this code is an internal codification to associate an adjacent signaling point. See also definition of
zone "Adjacent SP (LinkSet)" in the "MTP Configuration" window (icon " ").
After you finished adding the E1-SS7 board to the TOPEX System, the screen will show it like this:
Now you must configure the SS7 board.

There are used two configuration window specific for SS7, first "ISUP Configuration" and then MTP
Configuration. See the corresponding paragraphs in this OAM manual.
This bottom bar of the window is displayed only if a SS7 board is present in the gateway configuration.
It is a representation of the accessibility of the remote (adjacent or non-adjacent) signaling points..
The TOPEX gateway can handle connections to maximum 32 signaling points (SP) which are
represented by the above boxes with values from 00 to 31.
Values from 0 to 3 are used for adjacent signaling points and values from 4 to 31 for non-adjacent
signaling points.
Page 105
TOPEX S.A.
OAM Manual
The colors used in displaying the "Remote SP accessibility" bar are:

- Connection to a SP not installed - light blue;
- Connection to a SP installed - dark blue.
The information regarding the installed SP connections is read from the "MTP Configuration" file ("
- the enabled routes (option "Route x", where x is from 0 to 31).
")
3.17 Card status
In the area "Card status" of the window, the first row is a representation of the status of the boards
installed in the cabinet of the equipment. Each board is shown as a small rectangle marked with the number of
the card in the 19" rack of the TOPEX equipment, from right to the left.
The current status of the board is shown by its color.
Color significance:
Dark blue
Board installed or that position is available (free);
Board not installed (the box "Installed" from the window for configuring the settings of the port
Light blue
has not been checked);
White
That position is already used (the port is engaged);
Red
Alarm for that board or port (if the monitoring is started!).
3.18 Monitoring the equipment operation
There are a few options (commands) you can select to monitor the correct operation (functioning) of
the TOPEX Eones gateway:
3.18.1 Status monitoring

For viewing online the state of the TOPEX Eones (while in the connected state): you can select the
corresponding icon (" ") to start monitoring the system. If the monitoring process is started then the icon will
be displayed inside a gray rectangle "
".
A command to view the state will be sent to the TOPEX system at regular intervals (5 seconds). The
monitoring process may be stopped by pressing once again the icon. You can follow up:
For ports (port status):

White color - which port is opened (used);
Red color - which port is in alarm.
Light blue color - invalid position - the "Installed" field is not set or there is a board error. An error in
one of the plug-in board errors will show up in red in the card status area. Card error will show in the
following instances: absence of an installed card (which is present in the configuration) or damaged
board and therefore it cannot be interrogated by the processor board;
Dark blue color - available port (card installed and operating properly).
For E1 trunk you may see the alarmed channels and the situations of possible alarms on the trunk: LIS,
LFA, LMA, AIS, SLIP, RSA, RJA, CCS and BER;
For card status the colors are: dark blue for installed board, light blue for board not installed and red for
alarm on that card;
For the E1-ISDN trunk, the indication SC is used to display the state of the signaling channel: color dark
blue indicates that the link is up, color red shows that the link is down (LAYER2 alarm), and color white
indicates that the board is currently trying to restore the link. See example below:
If you want to get out of the state of monitoring the TOPEX equipment, you stop the interrogation by
clicking the appropriate icon from the toolbar.
Error indication for SS7 channels
For the SS7 channels in alarm you have a number indication on the channels, besides the color. You
get this numerical indication when the channels are blocked. When you use the BLOCK command (button in the
window for SS7 settings) the blocking will be on the input, the channel will be shown in red and with the number
1, such as T143-1. When the SS7 channels are blocked by the remote equipment, the blockage is on the
output, and the alarm indication will be with the digit2. Finally, when a channel is blocked in both directions,
this will be indicated by the digit 3, such as T143-3
TOPEX S.A.

TOPEX EoneS
3.18.2
Calls monitoring
For viewing online calls on the gateway equipment - you can choose icon to start call monitoring (" ").
If the call monitoring process is started then the icon will be displayed in a gray rectangle. The call monitoring
can be stopped at any time by pressing one more time the same icon or the window closing box. Following the
validation of the icon, several types of monitoring windows can be displayed:
a) LIVE Monitoring (n), where n may be from 1 to 4
b) LIVE Monitoring Report on DIRECTIONS
c) LIVE Monitoring IP signaling
a) The first type of window, LIVE Monitoring (n), is used to see on line the calls passing all the
range of ports of the EONES gateway. The range is defined from 0 to 1471, for all directions on incoming and
outgoing sides. The user has the possibility to open up to 4 (four) windows of that type. The tooltip displayed for
the live monitoring icon is Calls monitoring new window. When all the four windows are opened the icon
tooltip will show Calls monitoring no window available.
Through those four windows you have the possibility to filter calls from different directions on both incoming or
outgoing ways.
The digit n shown between the round brackets (and ) represents the index of the window - it can be a
value from one to four. In this example you see the window (1):
Each call in progress is displayed with following parameters:

type (IN / OUT),
the port source ("PortS"),
number made ("Number"),
identity of the call ("Identity"),
day and time,
the field "Duration1" is filled with the time of selection.
the field "Duration2" is filled with the conversation time.
the status of a call can take the following values:"SETUP",
"PROCEED","ALERTING","CONNECTED" and "RELEASED" (the background color is different for each
type of status).
the destination port ("PortD") - can take a value of "65535" until the incoming call is routed
through an destination port.
"End" - finalization call mode - possible values are AOK, BOK, ARELS, BRELS, AINEX, BINEX,
ACONG, BCONG, ASERR, BSERR, ANERR, BNERR, ANANS, BNANS, ABUSY, BBUSY, ATOUT and
BTOUT. It indicates the mode of ending the call:
- first character indicates who has released the call: A=caller party or B=called party
- next characters are keywords detailing how the call was ended: OK - ANSWER (response in
the destination part), RELS - RELEASE (release in other situation then ring-back tone or
busy), INEX - INEX (non-existent from equipment point of view - no defined route), CONG CONG (congestion from equipment point of view - no available resources), SERR - SERR
(Signaling error), NERR - NERR (Network error), NANS - NO ANSWER (release on ring-back
tone), BUSY - BUSY (release on busy situation) and TOUT - TIMEOUT (timer expiration)
Page 107
TOPEX S.A.
OAM Manual
"End2" - finalization call mode on ISDN calls - possible values are ' 31' (normal call) for non ISDN
calls or values from ISDN standard for release code
IP:Port (sign) the IP signaling port filled in case of incoming voip calls and viewing IN records
or in case of outgoing calls and viewing OUT records (IN, OUT settings are performed through the Filer
option).
IP:Port (RTP) the IP signaling RTP filled in case of incoming voip calls and viewing IN records
or in case of outgoing calls and viewing OUT records (IN, OUT settings are performed through the Filer
option).
Note1: The fields "Duration2", "End" and "End2" are filled only when the status field takes the value
"RELEASED".
Note2: Initially the LIVE MONITORING window displays the IN records (the incoming side of each call; not the
output side of the call. This is performed in order not to have the same call into two records. Because for an
incoming call will have in case of routing succes another correspondent line in which the source port is the
destination port from the other record.)
The Filter option displays a window Live Monitoring Filter in which you can select as you wish the range
of ports to be monitorized through the live monitoring process.
You can select a range of ports for which to display the "LIVE Monitoring". The format to be used is "xxyy" for a range of port or simple x for just a port. The separation character is a comma ,.
The monitoring will be displayed for the selected ports (the cumulation for the range of ports and ports). The
default range which is used is from 0 to 1471.
Also you can select a direction for viewing incoming or outgoing calls (Direction port source or port
destination).
The name of log file is always "livex.txt" (where x is 1,2,3 or 4 depending of the LIVE Monitoring
window rank). The content of the file can be reset with the option "Reset".
On the bottom of LIVE Monitoring window there is a statistic (which can be restarted through the
Clear button), which contains the live number of total calls and connected calls, the ASR and ACD values and
the time since the supervision was started.
TOPEX S.A.
Page 108
TOPEX EoneS
The Graph button is used to display a statistic on the last 60 minutes upon the values of ASR and ACD.
In the upper part of the previous picture you can see a statistic on the ACD (Average call duration). The
color which is used for ACD is blue, and for the average ACD is yellow.
On the bottom half of the last picture there is a statistic on the ASR. The color which is used for ASR is
green, and for the average ACD is yellow.
The calculated values for both ASR and ACD are highlighted in blue color. Tooltips with the calculated
values are displayed if the user put the mouse over those points.
b) LIVE Monitoring Report on Directions
This live monitoring window show an online statistic on each direction (input and output) and a total. Only
the directions for which at least a port is installed on the gateway will be displayed. There is an indication on
each direction about the number of connected calls (displayed with blue color), number of attempted calls
(displayed with red color) and online ASR. By pressing on a column (IN or OUT) for a direction a new window
will be displayed ("Type of call end" window).
Here you can obtain detailed information regarding the end of a call attempt. The information is
structured in three columns:
- first column "Side A" contains all calls released from caller party.
- second column "Side B" contains all calls released from called party.
- third column "Total" contains all calls.
Page 109
TOPEX S.A.
OAM Manual
For each zone, when you clikc over a column, the causes for calls releasing are detailed as shown:
c) LIVE Monitoring IP Signaling

A single window which provides access to the calls which are passing through our EONES equipment.
This happens when the EONES gateway is performing just the VoIP signaling and when the RTP is made
without using the resources of EONES VoIP channels, or in case of incoming VoIP calls. The first type of calls
are not using the VoIP ports of EONES and therefore cannot be displayed in one normal windows of the LIVE
MONITORING feature. Thus you need the IP signaling window to be able to monitor the calls that are
bypassing the EONES equipment:
Those are temporary records. For the first type of windows the records are preserved after
disconnection until a new records is coming on the same input or output port. In this second case the records
are deleted after 20 seconds.
To close live monitoring windows you should close down all windows of the first type.Then Live monitoring
windows for directions and IP signaling will be also closed, automatically.
Note1: the fields "Duration2", "End" and "End2" are filled only when the status field is takes the value
"RELEASED".
Note2: You can select a range of ports for which to display the "LIVE Monitoring".
The format to be used is "xx-yy". The calls monitoring will be displayed for the ports in range from "xx" to "yy".
Those two values must be separated by the minus character "-".
The option "Set" must be used to validate the new port range. The default range which is used is ports from 0 to
319.
Note3: You can select the option "IN" or "OUT". Those two options are about the type of the call (from the point
of view of the TOPEX EONES): incoming or outgoing calls. The default option is IN, it is automatically selected
at startup of live monitoring.
Note4: You may also save all online messages regarding the progress of the calls into a log file The name of
this log file is always "live.txt". The content of the file can be reset with the option "Reset".

CONFIGURATION AND ADMINISTRATION BY IP
The TOPEX Eones equipment can be configured (programmed) both from the Internet browser and
from the gwconfig.exe application (as described earlier in the operating manual). The programming through
the client browser is performed by means of text files, while with the gwconfig.exe application the programming
is done using binary files.
By means of the gwconfig.exe application, the main application running on the TOPEX Eones
equipment saves the changes operated upon binary files into text files and vice-versa (meaning that the
changes operated via Web browser to the text files are also saved into the binary configuration files).
The features described in this chapter allows the remote programming (i.e. configuration and
administration) of the TOPEX Eones equipment by means of the web based interface.
This web page is accessed through an Internet browser such as Internet Explorer from Windows. Type
in the web browser the IP address of the TOPEX Eones equipment and the login image will appear.
4.1 Access to the system (logging in)

Enter the value gsmgw in the Username field and the 5tgb4rf as Password and then press the
Login button. The server checks if the name and password correspond to the ones required for the system (if
there is an installed account with that name and if the password is valid).
Access to the TOPEX system: Enter username and password.

After choosing the Login options the following error cases may
arise:
If the NAME (Username) has not been entered the answer
will be: Invalid username or password. Try it again.
Error1
If the PASSWORD has not been entered the answer will be:
Invalid username or password. Try it again. Error3
If the name and password do not agree with an user account
defined on the TOPEX equipment the answer will be: Invalid
username or password. Try it again. Error (password
dont match)
If there is another client that operates (has logged in) in the system with the same the answer will be:
Invalid username or password. Try it again. Error (logged)
If everything is OK, the access to the system is confirmed.
The server automatically generates a key associated to the client that has accessed the system. This
key is uniquely associated to the client who has logged into the system. Any operation requested by the flash
program will be performed by the server only if the transmitted key is correct.
The key will be automatically deleted through the procedure of leaving the system (Logout). Also, the
system deletes automatically the key when it senses a lack of activity in the browser for a time interval longer
than 10 minutes (the timeout value can be configured by the user).
At any given moment of time only one client can access the TOPEX equipment via the Internet
browser.
If the authentication was successful the program will go to the next step, the procedure of downloading
from the system of the configuration files.
There are several configuration files that must be transferred:
File with information about the installed cards ("card.bin");
File with information about the port settings ("port.bin");
File with information about directions name ("dirname.cfg");
File with information about established directions ("dir.bin");
File with information about restrictions established ("restr.bin");
File with information about the LCR table ("lcr.cfg" - LCR is an abbreviation to Least Cost Routing);
File with information about the CALLBACK table ("callback.cfg");
Files with information for defining the parameters for alerting and programming of the test calls
("trafic.cfg");
File with information concerning the parameters used for communication between a TOPEX gateway
and the "gwconfig" application, and the parameters used for debug purposes ("exec.cfg");
File that contains the IP settings of the gateway ("network.cfg");
Files with information about the signaling point allocation ("mtpcfg") and CIC (circuit identification
codes) allocation to gateway ports ("isup.cfg"), files used in case of SS7 card presence;
Files used for VOIP-H323 configuration: "VoIP.cfg" and "h323.cfg".

In order to configure the directions parameters just press with mouse on the respective field. The fields
are detailed in the next table:
Name - name of the direction (maximum 9 alphanumeric characters long; the first character of the name must
NOT be a letter);
Type - PORT or DIR;
Over - the name of outflow direction in case of call congestion or of the service output on the current direction.
The calls will be re-routed through this overflow direction that you specify in here;
Over2 - the name of outflow direction in case of call congestion or of the service output on the current direction.
The calls will be re-routed through this overflow direction that you specify in here;
Restr - number of the class of restrictions that will be applied for all of the calls for the respective direction;
Ign specifies the number of digits that will be ignored out of the number dialed in this direction;
Ins - specifies the digits that will be inserted after the numbering dialed in this direction;
Max d - specifies the maximum number of digits that can be dialed on this direction. When this value is reached
the system will send out the call through the direction without waiting to see if the subscriber is still dialing
numbers. This feature is useful for the directions for which the number of digits in a phone number is already
known.;
Ign id - out of the identity of the caller (Caller ID) the number of digits you specify here will be ignored;
Ins id - adds (inserts) to the Caller ID the digits you specify. A maximum number of 8 digits is allowed;
Maxid - the maximum number of digits from the Caller ID that will be sent through this direction;
Sign - specifies the type of signaling to be used on this direction.
After you have made the changes you want press the Apply Changes button in order to save the
new settings.
Notes:
The name of the direction (the field Name). This name should be seen again as the name of a direction
defined in the page 3 of the configuration application Edit directions name. If this is not so it will be
signaled as an error by the warning message: D: Wrong field 'name'. The specified name must be
defined in directions name;
The type of port (the field Type). This field may have only two values, PORT or DIR, respectively the
values of 0 (for port) or 1 (for a direction). If this is not true it will be signaled as an error: "D: Wrong field
'type'. Must be PORT or DIR or 0 or 1;
The name of the overflow direction (field Rename). This name must be also found as a name of direction
defined in the page 3 of the configuration application Edit directions name. If this is not so it will be
signaled as an error by the following message: D: Wrong field 'nname'. The specified name must be
defined in directions name.";
Page 115
TOPEX S.A.
OAM Manual
The value of the restriction field (Restr). As mentioned earlier, this field must have values between 0 and
19. If this is not so it will be signaled as the following error: "D: 'Restr' number error. Must be between 0
and 19";
The value of the ignoring field (Ign). It specifies the number of digits to be ignored out of the number
dialed on that direction. The values allowed for this field are between 0 and 19.If this is not true it will be
signaled as the following error: D: 'Ign' number error. Must be between 0 and 19;
The number of digits that may be inserted is of maximum 8. If the value is over this it will be signaled as the
following error: "D: 'Ins' field too big. Max. number of digits is 8";
The maximum number of digits for the direction (field Maxd). The value should be a number from 0 to 20,
otherwise: D: 'Maxd' number error. Must be between 0 and 20.;
The value of the field of ignoring digits out of the identity (Ignid). Specifies the number of digits that will be
ignored from the Caller ID. Values accepted are between 0 and 19, otherwise the following error message
will show: D: 'Ign' number error. Must be between 0 and 19;
The number of digits to be inserted is maximum 8. If this value is exceeded it will be signaled as an error:
"D: 'Insid' field too big. Maximum number of digits is 8";
The maximum number of digits for the identity (field Maxid). The value should be between 0 and 20. The
appeared message is: D: 'Maxid' number error. Must be between 0 and 20.
4.6 Routing option

The Routing option allows you to modify the parameters of the routing table for the TOPEX Eones
equipment.
In order to configure the routing table you must insert the fields described below:
Prefix the first digits of numbering, which are needed for routing the call (for example to direct all the calls to
a telephony network on a certain route enter the correspondent prefix).
If you leave empty this field the respective routing rule will NOT be taken into account at saving action;
Inside a prefix string, the value f can be used to indicate any digits from zero to nine (0-9). For example,
1f2 means al prefixes from 102, 112, and so on until 192. This feature is very useful because it allows you
to reduce the number of records in the routing table.
Action - specifies the action to be taken for the call. It is a list of six strings: PORT, DIR, SERV, HUNT,
DIRIP and LCR.
PORT - the call will get out through the port specified in the "Destination" list;
DIR - the call will get out by the direction you have specified in the "Destination" list;
SERV - the call will get out through the service that was specified in the "Destination" list;
HUNT - the call will get out through the hunting group that you have specified in the "Destination" list;
DIRIP - here there are two possibilities:

a) If the version of main application is under "3.29" then the call will get out by the direction specified in the
'Destination' list; the "IP" and "Port" fields are taken into account in this situation. This option must be used
in case of a VOIP card presence; "Port" filed has meaning just in case when SIP protocol is used.
b) If the version of main application is greater or equal than "3.29" then the call will get out by the direction
specified in the 'Destination' list; the "IP" and "Port" fields are taken into account in this situation. This option
must be used in case of a VOIP card presence; "Port" filed has meaning just in case when SIP protocol is
used.
TOPEX S.A.
Page 116
TOPEX EoneS
LCR - the call will get out by analyzing the LCR table for the index specified in the "Destination" field. This
field can take a value from 0 to 6. Each value represents a rule to be applied in order to find a direction at
the specified moment.
Destination the destination, which may be:
A port number (in the range 0-127);
A direction name specified in Define directions names (from the list);
A service number (from 0 to 19);
A number for a group of hunting (from 0 to 19);
An index to the LCR table.

Port IP - the number of port used in voice over IP signaling. It is used when "DIRIP" is specified in the action
field.
Ign the number of digits that will be ignored (omitted) from the numbering sent out through Destination.
There is a list with values from 0 to 20;
Ins option complementary to Ignore. Adds to the number sent out through Destination the digits specified;
the maximum allowed is 16 digits.
Ign_Id the number of digits that will be ignored from the Caller ID sent out through Destination. There is a list
with values from 0 to 20;
Ins_id option complementary to Ign_Id. Adds the specified digits to the Caller ID sent out through 'Dest', in
this example 30; the maximum allowed is 16 digits.
IP used when DIRIP is used to fill the Action field. It is the remote IP address used to establish voice over
IP connection;
Sign specify the type of the signaling sent to the destination;
Tax specify the tax type.
Notes:
The value of the field defining the action to be taken ( Action). The Allowed values are the names
PORT, DIR, SERV and respectively HUNT. Otherwise it will be signaled as the following error:
R: Wrong field 'type'. Valid values are PORT, DIR, SERV, HUNT.;
The value of the ignoring field (Ign). It specifies the number of digits to be ignored out of the
numbering sent to the port specified at nrport. This field may take numeric values from 0 up to 20.
Otherwise you will get the following error message: R: 'Ign' number error. Must be between 0 and
20;
The value of the Caller ID ignoring field (Ignid). This specifies the number of digits that will be ignored
(omitted) out of the Caller ID sent to the port specified by nrport. This field may also take only numeric
values from 0 up to 20. Otherwise you will get the following error message: R: 'Ignid' number error.
Must be between 0 and 20.
If during these verifications for the Edit directions and routing table a validation error is detected the
whole editing window will be colored in red. Also, in the lower part of the window a text will be displayed (also
written in red) describing the error and the line on which the error has appeared.
The changes will be transmitted to the TOPEX Eones system only after you press the Apply
Changes button.
If you operate configuration changes but you want to go back to the initial state then you must press
the button Restore Defaults.
If you perform modifications and you go to another page of configuration without pressing on the

Start the start time for the period selected in the day field. The format is hh:mm. If you insert a wrong time, at
the bottom of the window will appear the error message: Error Start: Invalid format;
End the end time for the respective period in the format hh:mm. If you insert a wrong time, at the bottom of the
window will appear the error message: Error End: Invalid format;
DirNr the direction number defined in the Dirname menu. In this field you must insert a number between 0
and 19 because for the TOPEX Eones equipment can be defined at most 20 directions. If you insert a direction
number which is not in this interval you will receive the error message: Error DirNr: Please enter a number
between 0 and 19.
In order to save the new settings press the Apply Changes button, to delete a recording from the
LCR table press the Delete button and to return to initial settings press Restore Defaults.
4.8 Restrictions option

The Restrictions options allow the configuration of the restriction classes for calls. The restriction
classes are defined in the Restrictions table window. The maximum number of restrictions which can be
defined is 20 the Restr1 Restr20 fields.
TOPEX S.A.
Page 118
TOPEX EoneS
Each restriction has 8 characters. The characters can be digits or the letters a or f. Thus:
'a' represents the first digit of the phone number. For instance a subscriber with the restriction aa000000
won't be able to make calls started with digits "00" (international phone calls);
'f' represents "any figure". For example, if you define the restriction f0000000 for a certain port it won't be
able to call any number - it will be able only to receive phone calls<
'0' signifies the end of the restriction rule. If in a restriction field there are eight "0" figures this means that no
restriction has been defined for that field.
A class can inherit one or more restriction classes. For instance, if in a class we have the restriction
000000xx, where xx is the hexadecimal value corresponding to another class of restrictions, then our class will
inherit all the restrictions that have been defined in the xx class, to which there will be added the restrictions
defined in the current class.
If you insert a restriction that hasnt 8 characters, on the screen will appear the error message Error
Restr1: Please enter 8 characters. If one of the 8 characters is a letter which is not a or f, then the error
message will appear on the screen Error Restr1: Please enter only digit and/or character a and f!.
If you made configuration modifications but you want to return to the initial settings press the Restore
Defaults button. If after you modify the restriction classes, you access another configuration page without
pressing the Apply Changes button, these changes will be lost.
4.9 Explorer option

The Explorer option allows you to navigate through the files and directories structure of the remote
equipment.
After authentication (successful log-in) the content of the /home directory from the local workstation
will be automatically displayed. When you want to enter into a certain sub-directory, you should double click on
the respective name from the list and then press the button Dir. To get out of a sub-directory you must click the
two dots ... signifying <<directory up>>.
The button Download allows you to download from the remote equipment of the file you have chosen.
You may specify the destination on the computer where the browser is running but as a default the file will be
saved in the same folder and under the same name as it has been saved last time.
When you click Download a browser window will pop up, with the name of the file you have chosen,
together with a progress bar that shows how the downloading is proceeding. When the download is finished you
must close the browser window that has been opened, if you want to repeat the downloading operation.
The option View is applied to text configuration files (NOT to binary files) and allows the opening of a
viewer window that shows you the content of the file that you want to see.
The Upload button allows the uploading to the remote station of a file. When you select this option a
window will be displayed, that includes a field named Where to send . Here you must enter the destination (the
name of the file to which the upload will be performed) It also features a button Browse (from the section
What to send) that allows selecting from the station upon which the browser is running the file that you want to
be transmitted.
The uploading operation is started by pressing the Upload button. Confirmation of receipt at the
remote station is done by means of the message File upload OK. If you do not have writing rights for the
directory you have chosen for the destination (target) file you will see this error message:
Cannot open to write, maybe you do not have write permission in that directory.
Earlier we have mentioned that during the time periods of lack of activity the authentication key is
automatically deleted.
For security reasons, the uploading of a file is NOT considered as an activity. If during the time
required for the file to be uploaded to the server you dont perform other operations, it may be possible for the
key to be invalidated. This invalidation does not prevent the uploading operation to be successfully completed.
4.10 Logout option
This option allows the user connected to the TOPEX system to get out.
Note: The logout procedure can fail if the lifetime of the user authentication key was exceeded (the key has
expired).
In this case an error message will be displayed together with the text no good key that warns you that you no
longer have a valid key.

GLOSSARY
CAS - Acronym for Channel-Associated Signaling. A type of signaling in which the signals needed to switch
a given telephone circuit are transmitted via the voice circuit itself (the same channel that will afterwards be
used for the call). Also, the signaling information can be sent through a signaling channel permanently
associated with the voice channel.
CCS - Acronym for Common-Channel Signaling. Another type of signaling in which one data channel in each
link is dedicated for signaling needed to control, account for, and manage traffic on all the voice or data
channels of the link. Unlike CAS, in CCS the transmission of signaling information is performed out of the voice
band. The link is a collection of junction channels that have the same properties.
DISA Acronym for Direct Inward System Access. This function allows an outside caller to directly access a
local subscriber by using DTMF codes (for example when you call directly a local subscriber without need for a
human operator at the phone exchange).
Directions groups of phone lines through which the calls are routed, depending upon the routing rules and
the numbering that was dialed. In TOPEX equipment, Directions are groups of local lines, inbound or outbound
trunks that have common routing characteristics. To ensure adequate routing of calls, you assign one or more
trunks to each direction.
Direction for overflow calls the direction used as alternative for the overflow calls. Overflow calls are calls
that get redirected to another direction when the primary direction is not available. This way, no incoming calls
are lost, even if the initial direction is busy.
DTMF - Acronym for Dual Tone Multi Frequency, also known as "touch tone". Advanced method for dialing a
number, instead of the older Pulse mode. When you press a key on the keypad a combination of two audio
frequencies is sent on the line. DTMF capability is important because it allows access to a wide range of
interactive voice applications.
DSS1 - Acronym for Digital Subscriber Signaling System No 1. Common channel signaling specific to the
connection between PBX and terminal or between two PBX. DSS1 encompasses the entire suite of signaling
protocols used across the ISDN Basic Rate and Primary Rate user-network interfaces. It is defined by ITU-T
Recommendations Q.920, Q.921, and Q.922 for the suite's data link layer protocol (LAPD) and by ITU-Ts
recommendations Q.930, Q.931 and Q.933 for the suite's basic control procedures for calls and access
connections.
E1 digital trunk PCM communication system with 30 voice channels and data rate of 2,048kbit/s. E1 is
mainly used in Europe. The T1 version (not currently supported by the TOPEX gateway) is used in North
America.
Encoding law compression scheme used in the PCM system, for 64 kbit/s 8kHz encoding of 8-bit PCM audio
(voice) data. There are two variants of encoding widely used:
A Law (Encoding Law A as per ITU G.711standard) is used as a telephony standard in Europe, Asia, South
America, Africa, etc.
u-law is a similar encoding commonly used in North America and Japan for digital telephony.
The official definition is of these non linear schemes for compression / decompression of voice signal is the
ITU-T standard G.711 (formally CCITT G.711).
G.703 - Electrical specifications for the E1 trunk. Described in the ITU-T Recommendation G.703,
"Physical/Electrical Characteristics of Hierarchical Digital Interfaces".
G.704 - frame structure specs for the E1 trunk, described by the ITU-T Recommendation G.704, "Synchronous
Frame Structures Used at Primary and Secondary Hierarchy Levels".
HDB3 Acronym for High Density Bipolar 3 Code (ITU-T). A line code used in the E1 digital multiplex trunk.
The 3 stands for a maximum of three zeroes.
ISDN - Acronym for Integrated Services Digital Network. ISDN is a worldwide digital network providing highspeed connection between the terminal devices (telephone, fax machines, computers) for a wide range
of telecommunication services, using the existing telephony infrastructure. ISDN is based upon two types of
communication channels: a B channel that carries data at a rate of 64Kbps and a D channel that carries control
information at the rate of 16 or 64Kbps.
ISDN also represents an effort to standardize subscriber services, user / network interfaces, and network and
internetwork capabilities: the computers and other terminal devices can connect to ISDN through simple,
standard interfaces.
ISUP Acronym for ISDN User Part is the protocol that supports ISDN in the PSTN. It provides the signalling
required for circuit-mode bearer services of basic ISDN as well as supplementary services that have end-toend meaning.
ITU-T - Acronym for International Telecommunication Union
Telecommunications. Since 2001 TOPEX is a sector member of I.T.U.
Standardization,
Section
PCM trunk digital multiplex of phone channels where analog signal are sampled, digitized and compressed.
The telephone channels are separated by time using a new type of transmission method known as Pulse Code
Modulation (PCM). The compression (encoding) of the analog signal can be performed according to two

different encoding laws, A-law or -law.
MTP Acronym for Message Transfer Part - is the part of the SS7 used for communication in Public Switched
Telephone Network. MTP is responsible for the correct and reliable end-to-end data transport of SS7 messages
between communication partners.
Q411/412 and Q421/422 ITU Recommendations for digital line signal codes to be used with the Signaling
system R2. ITU Q411/412 is for R2 analog line signaling while Q421/422 is for the digital version. By making
use of the increased signaling capacity in PCM systems, simplification of the outgoing and incoming switching
equipment can be achieved since the timing conditions necessary for the System R2 line signaling, analogue
version, are not required. The digital version of System R2 line signaling uses two signaling channels in each
direction of transmission per speech circuit.
QSIG - Acronym for Q-Signaling protocol (by the European Association for Standardizing and Communication
Systems). Another common channel signaling protocol, based on ISDN. It enables signaling between nodes
(PBX) and is widely deployed for the interoperability of different voice communications platforms and equipment
in a multi-vendor environment.
R2 regional system no. 2 for CAS signaling, used in Romania.
Restriction classes the classes of restrictions are groups of prefixes that can NOT called through certain
external (outgoing) phone lines. For example in order to restrict the access of a local subscriber to international
calls he must belong to a class of restrictions for which the 00 prefix is forbidden. Within each class you may
define a maximum of 20 restrictions.
RTCP Acronym for RTP Control Protocol - is used for control and diagnostic on RTP sessions. Like RTP,
RTCP typically runs on top of UDP and is defined in the IETF RFC1889. RTCP is a companion protocol to RTP
that is used to maintain Quality of Service. RTP nodes analyze network conditions and periodically send each
other RTCP packets that report on network congestion.
Signaling the totality of information exchanges between the phone central and the terminal device or between
two phone exchanges. This information is required in order to establish, maintain, and clear switched telephony
connections. The signaling can be type CAS or CCS.
SS7 Signaling System no. 7. Signaling system used for signaling between PBX, in ISDN. In order to be able
to establish and disconnect 64 Kbit/s connections with circuit switching, the ISDN phone exchanges must be
able to exchange signaling information. The signaling used in ISDN phone centrals is Signaling System No. 7
(SS7) according to CCITT.
System 7 with ISUP The ISUP (ISDN User Part) software layer provides the interface for applications to
establish, maintain and clear telephony connections via the SS7 network, in accordance with the
recommendations CCITT Q.761-Q.764 and ANSI T1.113 (from 1988 and respectively 1992). The ISUP layer is
also responsible for circuit (group) management, such as blocking, unblocking, and resetting of circuits and
circuit groups.
