Warning REMINDER
DECT2/DECT4 and DECT4 HB boards are phase-out. They are supported by RELEASE 12.0 but can no more
be configured for addition or for new installation.
VoIP conformity tests are compulsory before deploying the VoIP solution; consult the VoIP
Engineering section on Business Portal for the methodology, recommendations and tools to
secure the VoIP installation. In particular, the VoIP Assessment tool for VoIP Audit and
diagnostic help guide are strongly recommended (available in the Brest training catalog).
CAUTION
With the "Modem, Fax, Data transparency over IP" feature, it is mandatory that the IP network is almost
perfect; see technical communication TC0712 Modem, Fax, Data transparency over IP.
6.9 DECT
Each system equipped with DECT needs a unique PARI configured in the system. To obtain the PARI, refer to
articles in TKC : 000007973, 000011120 on Business Portal.
If you have an OmniPCX 4400 with DECT, you will find the number of DECT sets in the lock 82 (no lock 175
and no lock 200).
Example:
OmniPCX 4400 with 50 DECT sets:
Lock 82 = 50.
Migration to OmniPCX Enterprise:
Lock 82 = Lock 175 = 50
Lock 200 = 50.
If you change the number of DECT sets from 50 to 60:
=> Lock 82 = Lock 175 = 60
=> Lock 200 = 50.
In that case the maximum declarable of DECT sets is the value of the lock 82 (or 175) but not the
sum of locks 82 and 200 or the sum of locks 175 and 200.
Warning Before upgrade, make sure that the value of the licenses matches the number of DECT users. So, if you
have more DECT users than the value of the license you have to make an add-on with Actis to increase the
license.
7.1 Generalities
New 8770 3.2.07 version is released & is the only compatible version with OXE R12.0 – Check also : 8770
Feature List and Provisioning Level
Other previous versions need to be upgraded. New license update for that release unless it is a migration from
R3.1
In case of Multi-Countries systems, only Common Hardware can be used for secondary countries. Besides, in
such configurations, Call Server and Passive Call Server functions can only be done with Appliance Server or
CS-2 board.
REMINDER
As of R5.0 Lx, only 1U and 3U shelf racks can be used: 2U shelf racks are not authorized.
For more details, see technical communications TC0418 Compatibilities & Evolutions.
7.9 SIP sets, Dect sets, other sets … Latest firmware tested.
The set mentioned below do not have their firmware embedded & uploaded by the OXE.
Some of those sets are dual mode (containing the noe mode)
The versions listed below are the latest versions compatible with R12.0
Even lower firmware versions may work but it is recommended to upgrade in case of malfunctioning before
raising a Service Request.
Warning If the patch is not applied the sets will reboot in loop !
8 CLIENT INFORMATION
The purpose of this section is to specify the changes in ergonomics or operation that will be visible to users
after changing versions.
For installing a CPU7s2 the bios must be at a minimum version. Follow the chapter 19.2.2
Thus the menu “boot Alizee” is no more available to load this cpu => use the “A4400” boot method.
Coming from any version up to M1.401.x (included) the disk must be refomated meaning that remote
download feature cannot be used to go to M1.
From M1.403.x to any other M1 remote download is operational.
A system running in L2 for instance can remote load & install a cpu already installed in M1.403.x & vice versa.
They can be downloaded from the Business Portal section Customer Support > Technical Support > Software
Download > OmniPCX Enterprise > All releases.
They can be downloaded from the Business Portal section Customer Support > Technical Support > Software
Download > OmniPCX Enterprise > 4645.
To prepare any system to the Cloud connection a new CC-suite id is inserted by eLP or Actis. This data stands
before the CPUids in the swk file constitution.
CAUTION
An add-on via Actis is only possible if the current Actis offer includes the .swk file (generated by eLP then
imported into Actis).
When you make a configuration request four or five OPS files will be generated:
<offer_id>.zip
<offer_id>.swk (this file results from the eLP)
<offer_id>.hw
hardware.mao
<offer_id>.sw8770 (if 8770 is present)
In the case of the migration of an OmniPCX 4400, the lock files of the site (photoconfig) should be put in
Actis. Actis will then allow you migrating these locks (in "Migration to OXE" Offer) by proposing migration
packages for the functionalities and hardware that are not supported by R12.0
CAUTION
Do not choose the save option "Save for rebuilt" (index files will not be saved).
Do not use a database saved in "Automatic save" (same reason).
9.5.2 Tickets
REMARKS: On the saving of charging tickets.
Sites going from A9.5xx to R12.0 which wish to retain client tickets (hotel or hospital type) in the ‘TABJUSTIF’
files should "empty" the administrative tickets before saving as these are no more processed as of R3.0. As of
R3.0, administrative tickets are stored in compressed files.
Sites going from R1.5.2 to R12.0 which already have compressed files should save them as they will be
compatible.
9.6 4645
Issue is detected in case of backing up/restoring big files bigger than 2Gb (crqms00177881) : the file does not
have the right size (issue related in both os & client tool).
the size of /tmpd (usr4) increased to 25 GB. This change will reflect only for HD size >=80 GB. For other disk
sizes there is no change.
Refer to chap. 19.2.3 for more details on 4645.
10 OPERATING MODE
Coming from ANY version <12.0 the cpu MUST be reformatted : no possible use
of unactive partition (partitions are resized + multipartition process NOK)
All the elements required for passage to R12.0 are given in paragraphs 7 to 16.
REMINDER
It is mandatory to reconfigure the system by Actis even if there is no changing of license or hardware.
????
The migration to R12.0 offers the same level of functionalities as the R5.0 Ux, except for three restrictions:
As of Release 5.1, certain applications, hardware or functionalities are no more supported; see paragraph
6.1.
The replacing of 4400 CPUs with Appliance Servers leads to restrictions on the use of certain
functionalities; see paragraph 6.5 .
In ISO migration, the shelves already created in position 18 and 19 must be moved before the translation.
If this is not done, they will not start. In fact, when migrating from OmniPCX 4400 to OmniPCX Enterprise
R11.0 with change of CPU 4400 by an Appliance Server, there is an automatic translation of shelves
created in these 2 positions. This automatic translation does not exist if the CPU of type 4400 is retained.
11.1 Installation
Loading is carried out using the PC Installer tool common to all compatible CPUs (CS-2, AS, CPU7s2 &
virtualized CPU). Refer to the technical communication TC1708 Installing and using the OmniPCX Enterprise PC
Installer v3 and v4 software .
To load the software use the new PC Installer 4.1 delivered in that release and available on Business Portal.
Reminder :
In pure OXE configuration “pc installer” is still used to install OXE (vmware or kvm solution)
Flex server installation does not need any 3rd party tool (vmware or kvm solution)
Use of ALEDS for OXE installation (out of OT context) is not validated yet. Some features will not work.
Description
On the first login after the standard installation of a Call Server, the question Do you want to activate
server security high level (Y/N)? is displayed.
An answer (Y or N) is mandatory to quit the menu.
Answer N
The following menu appears:
R) Configuration to be restored
0) Level_0 = no security feature activated
1) Level_1 = password/aging
2) Level_2 = password/aging + trusted hosts/TCP wrapper
3) Level_3 = password/aging + trusted hosts/TCP wrapper + SSH
Choice R is used to restore Linux data of the system (and thus to retain its levels of security) if this is a
migration from R5.1, R6.x.
Choice 0 is used to initialize the system with no default level of security as in R6.1.
Choices 1, 2 & 3 are used to set the various levels of security already existing in R6.1 and in R7.0 by mixing
between them if necessary:
Choice 1 : Modification of passwords of root, swinst, mtcl and adfexc accounts and enabling of the
aging password function
Choice 2 : Choice 1 + enabling of the trusted hosts and TCP wrapper
Choice 3 : Choice 2 + enabling of the SSH service
Answer Y
The level of security 3 is automatically set. It is higly recommended to use this level.
11.3.2 Installation of a secured system for VoIP encryption ("IP Touch Security" service)
For reasons of export control of encryption technology, a patch called patch of security is provided in addition
to the generic version.
This patch of security contains only the secured binaries for IP Touch sets and the binaries of "IP Touch
Security Modules".
Installation process
The installation of security on a system in M1.403.12.G must be carried in two steps:
1. Installation of system with generic version i.e.:
Installation generic version M1.403, installation of static patch M1.403.12 and then installation of dynamic
patch M1.403.12.G with usual tools (Standard Installation, Installation on inactive partition or Remote
Download).
2. Installation of the latest patch of security in addition of the previous installation i.e.:
General In general : if installing a generic complete version and patches, for instance M1.403 + M1.403.12 +
M1.403.12.G, the installation of the security patch of the complete version M1.403 and static patch
M1.403.12 are not needed since the security patch SM1.403.12.G has the same binaries but the latest one.
Remote download is NOT operational when coming from ANY version to M1.403.x
But it is operational FROM M1.403.x to M1.403.x & above
Tip ! Remote download allows to perform programmed & scheduled operations (load, installation).
Switch back in older release is always possible through a specific question & guaranties a more secured
upgrade.
Remote download operations can be programmed, sequenced & executed at a specific time.
Switch to the new version (from active to unactive partition) can be programmed at a specific time : in that
case the copies of database & linux data will be performed automatically from Active to unactive partition
Warning A blank database should only be created for CPU installation on a new site
Login swinst
Password xxxx
option 4 Backup & restore operations
option 3 Restore operations menus
option 1 Restore from cpu disk
12 TRANSLATIONS
DO NOT USE THE “mao for rebuild” type of database backup to translate to a release <R12 to R12.0 : the
rebuild tool always included in that backup is NOT compatible with the new Linux OS.
Things to know …
As of Release 5.1, the translation is automatically run after loading the OPS files.
Sites in A9.532 should first pass to A9.537 (latest patch)
There is no automatic translation of Chorus data of Releases below R3.0. You should not restore the
Chorus data of Releases below R3.0 but perform manually a complete netadmin.
There is no automatic translation from the Custom Release 3.0C (C1.580.1) to RELEASE 12.0. It is
essential to carry out an intermediate translation with Custom Release 3.2-C2 (C1.762.18 minimum).
As of Release 8.0.1, to take into account the provisioning limit evolutions, the translation creates
automatically a fictive shelf in which the virtual UA boards of ACT 19 (intended for the assignment of IP
sets) will be migrated.
This fictive shelf is created automatically with the first free shelf number in the translated database.
In XL configuration, the number of fictive shelves dedicated to IP sets allocation can go up to 3.
When migrating (use of photoconfig), Actis takes into account the creation of fictive shelves dedicated to
IP sets allocation.
As of Release 9.0, all standard SIP sets must be declared with the SIP Extension type. Standard SIP sets
are no longer supported with the former "SIP Device" mode (formerly called "External set"). Only items
other than standard sets (Nokia sets in Dual mode, 4135 IP Conference Phones, fax, video, etc.) should
remain with the former "SIP Device" mode.
Warning It is mandatory to declare Nokia sets, used in Dual mode with OXE, and OT4135 IP Conference Phones with
type "SIP device".
Procedure to follow:
Export the SIP entities which are not standard SIP sets (Nokia sets in Dual mode, OT4135 IP
Conference Phones, fax, video, etc.) by OmniVista 4760(i) by using .prg as export format.
Remove these entities then migrate to R9.0.
Import again the items which have been previously exported: standard SIP sets are in "SIP Extension"
and the other SIP entities in "SIP Device".
Note Fictive shelves dedicated to IP sets allocation created automatically by the system must in no way be
changed by the management.
As of RELEASE 11.0, the Direct RTP mode (in network) is automatically enabled and the relative
parameter removed. The same is done for H323 Internode Protocol system parameter.
When creating a new Media Gateway or an A4645 voicemail after the upgrade to RELEASE 12.0, a GD3
board will be automatically created and no more a GD one. The already created Media Gateways and
A4645 are of course not modified and will remain with a GD board. For the A4645 voicemail, absolutely no
functional difference exists depending a fictive GD or GD3 is used.
Check if translation performed correctly : operation & error messages are located in a file that can be
displayed by swinst :
7 Database tools
then
5 About last database operation
Translation log file is located under “/usr3/mao/TRANSLATE.dat” and is also included in the infocollect result
file.
13.1 Procedure :
Copy the OPS files using "ftp" in the directory /usr4/BACKUP/OPS.
Use the menu swinst/OPS configuration.
14.1 General :
Declare the automatic start-up of the telephone in swinst
Manage date/time in swinst (use “ntp” feature if possible)
In case of virtualization manage the ESX in order to be sure that all VM will restart automatically if the server
reboots (vSphere client management)
Make sure that a periodic backup of the database is programmed (“swinst”)
X25 networks :
IP routing is handled by the "gated" or “routed” processes and can only operate if the same process is
validated for all the nodes. Pay special attention to the nodes in previous versions using the "routed" process.
These two processes are not compliant between them. In a network in Release 3.2, manage the same routing
protocol (RIP2 or RSL) on all the machines
15.1 Reminders
Management of the number of transits.
There is a parameter used to define a number of transits for a same call across the network. This is a
protection used to avoid call looping.
Procedure:
Access path : System
Attribute : Number of transit PABX
Manage the parameter with a value identical to the number of network nodes.
CAUTION: If this parameter is zero, call transit will not work.
15.2 Reminder for ABC networked sites migrating from Release < 7.x
As of Release 7.0, a new feature is used to display the names with UTF-8 format (long names and for non
Latin languages: Chinese, Korean, Japanese).
In ABC-F2 network functioning, from RELEASE 11.0 the name in UTF-8 format is used in the network
according to the setting of the Enable UTF8 in ABCF network system parameter (default value True).
If RELEASE 12.0 is functioning in ABC-F2 network with nodes the versions of which are lower than those
mentioned previously (case of temporary phase of migration with R5.0 Ux, R5.x, R6.x), you must set the
Enable UTF8 in ABCF network system parameter to False on nodes where RELEASE is => 11.0
otherwise the calls through the network don't work.
Warning In a network, if a node is declared XL ("Large Capacity"), each node of the network must be in Release 8.x.
minimum
The system parameter Direct RTP must be enabled in all nodes of the sub-network as soon as one node is
migrated in RELEASE 11.0
On ACT0 :
2 ways of changing the signaling :
signaling channel for ACT0 only must be as follows :
Signaling mode = IO2 instead of Nx64
Signaling Channel N64 Size = 8 instead of 4
Access path
Note The IO2N board must be at the minimal edition 07. Refer to the technical communication TC0567 Reboot of
the CPU board after an inopportune shutdown of IO2N board.
15.4 Synchronization
Warning The ACT 99 does not allow synchronization to be passed up to the CPU.
In the event of common hardware, one cannot use a T0 board behind a MEX to synchronize the shelf.
Warning For migration of a Crystal CPU to an Appliance Server, it is compulsory to change synchronization
management to IP domain type. The synchro priority value must be between 200 and 254; see technical
communication TC0779 Synchronization of the system after migration to OmniPCX Enterprise with
Appliance Server.
Complete system start-up : this will allow to download automatically the new firmware of the couplers and to
avoid having memory issues (as mentioned above).
Note IPV6 feature : sets in pure ipv6 network will get their binaries from the OST64 virtual machine : the OST64
must be rebooted in order to perform the correct download mechanism.
16.2 Sites with the "IP Touch Security" feature: Migration from R6.2 or R7.x to
R12.0 with SSM & MSM boxes in version 3.5.01.a
CAUTION
Sites using "IP Touch Security Solution" feature (Encryption) must follow a specific procedure to update the IP
Touch security boxes.
SSM & MSM downloading procedure after an upgrade in R12.0
After upgrading in SL2.300.20.e and with the RUNTEL done, you must update the IP Touch Security boxes
(MSM, SSM) as follows:
1. Check that the versions 3.3.05 for bin_SM or 3.5.01 for bin_SM2 is managed in mgr.
2. Reboot (with Off/On button) each SSM, MSM box, SSM-RM or MSM-RM to allow the downloading of
the new binary 3.3.05 or 3.5.01 (the config_BT.cfg file has been modified; this enhancement is
available only from the version 1.6.02).
3. Check with info -v command that each SSM, MSM box, SSM-RM or MSM-RM has been downloaded with
the version 3.3.05 or 3.5.01 then re-generate the Config_BT.cfg file.
Check the coherence of the files (Suspicion of errors during file transfert : ftp must be set to “binary”
mode).

Technical constraints had changed the way CPU7s2 can be installed (at bios level).
The Alize installation method is not supported anymore for a4400 type CPU7, so the support is disabled in
BIOS : if we select the “Alize method” through BIOS monitor a “not supported” message is shown and the
menu is presented again.
Bios versions greater than or equal to “3BA24115AAFC (bscpu7300/004.003)” are concerned
Latest patches in J2, K1.5 & L1 will also inherit that bios

NOTE :
8088 set in Noe mode is not released at this current OXE offer. It will be delivered during a patch. Technical
release note “TC2308” will be given then.
19.2.5 Virtualization

USB Boost Charging is supported from OXE M1 (R12.0) and Terminal Version R100 4.81.00
8018 does not support IPv6 in that release
As reminder the 8018 supports TLS 1.0/TLS 1.2 in 802.1x EAP-TLS for port authentication of LAN
access based on the settings done at initialization. TLS will be used for SIP signaling, HTTPS and it
has no impact on encryption.
8018 supports SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 algorithms in SHA-2 family for the
authentication for the signature of customer certificate.

19.2.10.1 OmniPCX Enterprise Media Services : dynamic voice guide recording on OMS
Before this evolution, dynamic voice guide recording was not possible with OMS. (listening dynamic voice
guide was already possible ).
With this evolution, recording a dynamic voice guide on OMS is now possible (same operations as with GD
couplers ).
The aim of this feature is to play to an ACD Agent, when he off-hooks a call distributed by a RSI, a
Routing Pilot or a Statistic Pilot with a new guide named Identification guide. This Identification guide
allows the ACD Agent to know the identity of the RSI, the Routing Pilot or the Statistic Pilot for which
it processes the call without seeing any written information. During the period when the Identification
guide is played to the ACD Agent, the caller is connected to the Ring Back tone. When the diffusion of
the Identification guide is terminated, the caller and the ACD Agent go in communication.
When the ACD Agent takes the call, the caller is connected to the Ring Back tone and the ACD Agent
to the Identification guide. At the end of the Identification guide, caller and ACD Agent are in
communication.
When the ACD Agent takes the call, the caller is connected to the Agent Presentation guide and the
ACD Agent to the Identification guide. Three possibilities :
- If Agent Presentation guide ends first, the caller is connected to the Ring Back tone and the ACD
Agent is still connected to the Identification guide. At the end of the Identification guide, caller and
ACD Agent are in communication. (identical to Use Case 1)
- If Identification guide ends first, the caller is still connected to the Agent Presentation guide
and the ACD Agent is connected to the Silence. At the end of the Agent Presentation guide, caller and
ACD Agent are in communication.
The purpose of this feature is to provide an option in the sub menu of a message to delete all alarm messages
at one shot regardless of whether it is read or not.
The alarm messages received by the DECT set from the Alarm server will be accessed by selecting the alarm
icon in the top right corner of the idle screen.
After selecting the alarm icon it will display the number of alarm messages with date and time.
User can read the alarm message by pressing the OK key. Pressing OK key with alarm message content, will
open the sub menu with a new option “Delete all” in the sub menu of a particular message
Next Option to go to the next message.
Delete Option to delete the current message. Already available Cancel option is renamed as “Delete”.
Delete all Option to delete all messages in one shot.
Back Option to go back to the previous page which is displaying the message content.
If the user selected the “Delete all” option, the user will be prompted for confirmation to delete all.
If the user pressed the OK key, then all alarm messages of that user will be deleted in the list.
Alarm calls using loudspeaker announcement feature can be missed sometimes because the loudspeaker level
has been set too low. So this feature is to allow the alarm application to specify an audio level to be applied
during the alarm calls.
Alarm applications are connected to OXE by trunks like ABC-F, QSIG and SIP.
This feature is applicable when OXE is connected to alarm process via ABC-F only (Including ABC-F links, TDM
or IP Trunk Group)
The following and already existing parameter must be configured as below to enable the Call Announcement
feature :
Classes of Service -> Phone Features COS -> Review/Modify -> Rights-> Prot.against call announc. : 0
In addition to this Phone Feature COS, the below mentioned parameter is enabled to set Call Announcement
feature when called set is busy :
System -> Descend hierarchy -> Other System Param. -> Descend hierarchy -> Spec. Customer Features
Parameters -> Review/Modify : No Call Announcement on busy set + False
19.2.11.5 Multi-device
Tandem is a feature which allows a user to own two sets under a unique telephone number.
One set is called main, and another one is called secondary. The tandem function is defined so that the
telephone services are provided homogeneously on the two sets.
The aim of this new feature is to increase the number of sets for same user. Such a configuration is
called “multi devices”. Such a user is called “Multi devices user”, or MDU. The limit of the sets for a MDU is 5
multi-lines sets, (1 main set and 4 secondary sets).
The main set can be NOE, UA, IpDesktopSoftphone, SEPLOS, DSS, DSU.
The main set can be controlled by an OTC PC in mode remote call control.
The secondary sets can be NOE, UA, DECT, MIPT, MLA, SEPLOS, Remote Extension, IpDesktopSoftphone,
nomadic.
All functionalities and restrictions of the tandem (2 sets) are also available for the multi-device user.
Any secondary set can be called by its own number, in this case, the call is not considered as a MDU call. (so
others secondary sets are not called)
When any set (main or secondary) is out of service, the multi-device user continues to work with other sets.
New data in Phone Features CoS : “Ring secondaries if Main OoS” : this parameter is used to select what
is ringing, in relation with the 2 others already existing data: “forward if set is oos” in Phone Features CoS and
“Overflow to sec tandem if main oos“ in System Option, when a tandem or MDU is called with a main Oos.
A “forward” is initiated (or not) according to “forward if set is oos” and “Overflow to sec tandem if main oos”,
when the main becomes Oos ( this is an already existing feature on tandem).
The MDU works according the same “philosophy” of the tandem. The only difference is that the test on the
secondary in service is repeated on all secondary.
Call logs
Call logs are the same on all sets of the multi-device user.
Keep the current behavior of tandem.
OTC PC
In mode RCC, (remote call control), the OTC PC is compatible with the MDU. It means that the
following actions are possible on the OTC PC which controls the main set of the MDU:
- call supervision,
- calls starting and ending,
- the Audio is always on the main set. (nevers on the PC)
Notes:
The OTC PC which controls the main set of a tandem also sees the secondary set. This OTC PC can release a
communication established between the secondary set and someone... This kind of things is certainly not
available with the others secondary of a MDU (modifications needed in OTC PC...)
The OTC PC in others mode is not fully compatible (modifications needed in OTC PC and in OXE...)
Tools:
“zdpost”
Tool “zdpost” will display all secondary sets, using the command zdpost with the Main set MCDU. If zdpost is
used with a secondary MCDU set, there is no evolution, (only information about main set and about this
secondary set are displayed).
“mtracer / actdbg”
A new debug option “mdu” is added to use with actdbg, it allows adding the traces for this new feature.
“Multidevice”
A new tool has been added for this feature named “multidevice” which displays the list of multidevices added
to the main device.
- One attribute indicates if my own conference circuits can be used by another domain. “Provide conf.
circ. to other dom”
With no :
this domain forbids others domains to use its conference circuits
With yes :
this domain allows others domains to use its conference circuits.
Path : System / Other system Param / Spec. Customer Features Parameters /”Max participants in
casual conf”
This new system parameter can take the following values 7 or 15 or 30.
With ”Max participants in casual conf” = X,
If a conference circuit of size X is free, this circuit is taken. In this conference, we can have :
[1 master + (X-2) others + 1 Bip ]
If there is no conference circuit sized X is available, a conference circuit sized lower than X is searched, if it is
free, this circuit is taken.
If there is no conference circuit sized lower than X, a conference circuit sized higher than X is searched, if it is
free, this circuit is taken, else, the conference cannot takes place.
With this evolution, the number of participants depends on the size of the conference circuit used (new
behavior).
If the size (S) of the used conference circuit is different than the value of ”Max participants in casual conf”, the
conference can contain the conference master + up to (S-2) participants + eventually a Bip.
Maintenance tools :
“cnx dom”, “cnx cc”, “cfnstat”
To achieve this in M1, two new timers are introduced for outgoing and incoming call respectively.
If the value of these new timers is 0, then Timer 260 is used for the respective call in that direction. If the
value is not 0, then that configured value is used as timer for call release.
In L2, Timer 260 is used to release both incoming and outgoing calls.
In L2
There is no change in the existing Phone Features CoS Right “Timed Call Release” but a new system option
“Timed Incoming Call Release”, which is of Boolean type, is added to enable this feature for both incoming
and outgoing calls.
Below table can be referred for the better understanding

19.2.11.8 Rainbow
Check ALE communication on the different channels for availability on Rainbow offers.
Connection between PCG agents and CCCA is maintained through a unique TLS-secured Web Socket. This
connection is initiated by CCCA towards Rainbow Cloud instance. Once established, this TCP connection is
used as a tunnel through which PCG agent can perform queries and CCCA can send event notifications. The
CCCA ensures that this WSS connection is always up and running (or initiate a new one in case of network
failure).
Quarantine State:
As soon as an IP address is put in or leaves the quarantine state, the new incident 5829 “Quarantine
state” is generated.
Example: 5829: “Quarantine state / IP@ : P1 ”
P1 represents IP Address and State
5829: IP@: 172.19.112.110 is add to Quarantined //IP address Added to Quarantined list
5829: IP@: 172.19.112.110 is removed from Quarantined //IP address Removed from Quarantined list

CloudConnect (CC)
Cloud Connect feature will ve able to connect any OXE R12 to the ALE Cloud & take advantage of
features like :
o FTR/RTR
o Fleet Dash Board
FTF/RTR is here mainly to avoid having the Flex/dongle equipement on virtualized systems.
FTR with PIN code :
Under certain circumstances (fraud detection, administrator change, retrieval from Panic mode...) it
may be necessary to reinitialize system‟s credentials for permanent connection to CCI out of the
context of the Activation Account.
This is done by requesting to the helpdesk a temporary activation account. This activation account is
similar to the one opened when creating the system entry in eLP except that it is associated with a
PIN code composed of 6 decimal digits : the jabber ID is not only built from CC-suite-ID and domain,
but from CC-suite-ID, PIN and domain.
When the system performs successful FTR operation with this account, a new set of credentials is
provided to system, but some initialization is also done on CCI side. For instance, system RTR
previous account is deleted (to retrieve from Panic mode).

Security :
- Unlike the system policy : “when we try to connect 3 times the system blocks any attempt for 15 sec.”
- When a client connects via HTTPS (WBM), we rely on the authentication module of our Web server
(Nginx). It is configured so that each attempt must be spaced by at least ½ second.

Since Android OS Nougat update, some ports historically used by the system are now in conflict with
OS Nougat reserved ones. Default port for signaling is 32512, this port is in the range of reserved
ports in Android 7 (32100 to 32599).
To allow android 7 devices, you must change the configuration of default port (IP-> TSC/IP
Parameters -> UDP port).
You must also take this change in the firewall configuration.
NOE 3G EE sets :
Hard disk : recommendations on CPU7s2 : only the hard disks provided by Alcatel-Lucent are
compliant; manipulation of the hard disks (exchange of the hard disks etc.) is not recommended
because of the sensitivity of the hard disks; use preferably the second partition for software
upgrades (limited : from 12.0 to 12.0 & above).
In case of a V24-IP Moxa box, the time to recover the connection with the system after a Call Server
switch-over is about 10 to 20 seconds.

21.2.2 UPS
An UPS is strongly recommended to secure the system against abnormal stops because of power failure.
The UPS is used to make up for the short cuts of the power supply. If the UPS arrives at the end of the
battery, it tries to notify the Call Server / CPU to which its USB cable is connected. In the event of a long time
of power supply cut, it is necessary to stop the Call Server with the shutdown command.

The telnet client of the board GD/GA, which has been suppressed in Release 9.0, was necessary in particular
to access the maintenance commands relative to the H323 process (telnet from the GD on its H323 port
(4560)). These commands are now available through the ccmonitor command of the GD.
21.4.3.2 Releases 8.0.1 (from G1.503.35), 9.0 (from H1.301.38) and 9.1
The telnet activation, used for the GD in Release 9.0 before patch H1.301.38, has a major drawback: in case
the signaling link between the Call Server and the GD wasn’t active, there was no way to activate the telnet,
even locally, for remote debugging.
To overcome this limitation the telnet activation is possible in the same fashion, using a new entry in
"mgconfig" tool (on GD/GA), "14 – Telnet server", which allows to activate & de-activate the telnet for a
limited period. The ippstat method remains possible.
The same process applies to authorize a remote connection via telnet on NGP boards (the ippstat solution
doesn’t apply though).
The account root has to be used to enter the console of a NGP board. The account admin exists but doesn’t
allow doing anything.
To reload from scratch a binary in a GD3/GA3/INTIP3 board, just use PC Installer and perform a network boot
of the board: it will automatically reformat its flash and then download the various binary files. The LOLA
mode, used for GD/GD2 boards is no more necessary as the flash reformat is performed automatically. A
reboot of the NGP board is mandatory after the flashing process.
To enter the BIOS of a GD3, GA3 or INTIP3, as for a GD board, the sequence Ctrl-B Ctrl-I has to be done
(rather quickly for NGP).
21.5 VoIP
The echo delay can no more be managed. It is set automatically according to the hardware used:
GIP6-GIP6A-MCV8-MCV24 board: the echo delay is limited to 32 ms.
GIP4-1/GIP4-4/MADA-1/MADA-3/Armada board: the echo delay is limited to 128 ms.
Direct RTP H323.
The management of H323 direct RTP on OmniPCX Enterprise must be carefully enabled since all H323
terminals of the installation must be able to reroute the H245 RTP flow called "Empty Terminal Capability Set"
or "Voice Path Replacement".
No direct RTP between SIP set and a H323 terminal.
No direct RTP between H323 terminals with different compression algorithms (for instance case of H323
terminal in G723 or G729 calling a 4645 in G711)
Direct RTP in network.
It is used with IP devices (IP Phones, Alcatel 4980 IP Telephony, GDx, GAx, 4645 voice mail, INTIPx, H323
equipment and H323 Gateways); it allows to establish a direct RTP communication between the 2 IP-devices
over the network in order to optimize the number of compressions/decompressions.
The DPNSS prefix for path replacement must be systematically managed.
The configuration must be homogeneous in the whole network; reboot of the system is mandatory after
activation of this feature.
Direct RTP in network is available with H323 terminals or H323 Gateway if all nodes are in Release 7.0 or
higher.
NGP boards support only the "Direct RTP in network" mode.
In Release 9.1, the Direct RTP mode parameter in "IP / IP Parameters" has been suppressed and the
Direct RTP mode in network activated in all cases : the non Direct RTP mode in network is no more
possible. This rule applies for both new systems and systems upgraded from older releases to release
9.1. The other nodes of the ABC-F network must be managed accordingly. All the Alcatel-Lucent
devices used must support this mode.
Multi-node transit without compression/decompression like in OmniPCX 4400: this optimization is not
implemented in OmniPCX Enterprise; in place, direct RTP in network is provided.
It is not possible to create several IP trunk groups for a GDx/GAx/INTIPx board => use the VPN Call
Limitation feature to limit the number of calls per direction.
For a GDx/GAx/INTIPx, the number of trunks in a trunk group must not be managed. You must retain
the default configuration (30 trunks created). The limitation of compressors will be carried out by
managing the VPN TS % in the trunk group or by the "VPN Call Limitation" feature.
From R5.0 Lx, QoS profile control on ABC-F VoIP links is no longer available (with/out direct RTP
switching in network).
The VoIPstat command is no longer usable.
Mix of communication with Fax and Voice in a same room: during the voice communication, the DSP
might change to Fax mode; the only workaround is to reduce the volume of the Fax.
The “sip extension” mode (Native SIP Call Controller, also named SEPLOS - SIP End Point Level Of Service in
some technical documents) allows to increase strongly the level of service on a SIP set, compared with the SIP
standard (use of many OmniPCX Enterprise prefixes, etc.). Only the sets mentioned in the SEPLOS "white list"
(refer to the technical documentation TC1108 Native SIP Call Controller: White List) will be supported in
complete SEPLOS mode. This "white list" is likely to be regularly expanded further interoperability tests
performed in the AAPP framework. The sets not listed in the "white list" continue to be supported with the
basic level of service offered by the SIP standard (functioning equivalent to R8.0).
When migrating a system with "SIP Device" / "External set" from an older release, the system moves these
sets into the new mode (SIP extension) automatically.
Warning It is mandatory to declare Nokia sets, used in Dual mode with OXE, as well as 4135 IP Conference Phones,
with type "SIP device".
Procedure to follow:
Export the SIP entities which are not standard SIP sets (Nokia sets in Dual mode, 4135 IP Conference Phones,
fax, video, ...) by OmniVista 4760(i) by using .prg as export format.
Remove these entities then migrate to R9.0.
Import again the items which have been previously exported: standard SIP sets are in "SIP Extension" and the
other SIP entities in "SIP Device".
Information to manage SIP sets in SEPLOS mode with SIP Device Management is available in OmniVista 4760
R5.0 documentation. See also the technical communications TC1106 Thomson ST20xx SIP sets deployment
and TC1255 4008 / 4018 SIP set deployment with OmniPCX Enterprise.
Direct RTP Switching in network is mandatory when SIP phones are configured.
SIP-Phones are supported in:
stand-alone,
network configurations.
From R9.0, Business SIP sets in "SIP Extension" are mandatory multiline and room sets monoline.
These modes are those available by default and must not be modified for any reason.
Refer to the R11.1 Feature List for the list of telephonic features available on SIP sets.
The framing on these sets must be set to 20 ms in G711 and G729 and to 30 ms in G723.
Refer to technical communication TC1106 Thomson ST20xx SIP sets deployment for more information
regarding the deployment of these sets in an enterprise network (VLAN, spatial redundancy, ...).
Support of 4008/4018 sets in SIP mode.
Login swinst
Several prefixes cannot be used since they available through keys available in the menu page of the
set: language, programming the contrast, no ring.
It is recommended to use add-on modules when supervising Boss/Secretary and MLA.
There is no Help key on external applications.
Each set of the series 8 support the "Statistic tickets over IP" feature as of Release 6.2.
The migration of a Z set towards an IP Touch set is carried out in two steps:
Migration of Z set towards an UA or IP set.
Migration of UA or IP set towards an IP Touch set.
If using Alcatel IP Touch 4068 set with Bluetooth in a WLAN environment, interferences can be
generated which can degrade the quality of transmission, in particular the audio of these equipments.
Alcatel-Lucent recommends not to use these two technologies simultaneously.
You can connect up to 3 Electronic Add-On modules. These modules cannot be mixed with the other
types of Add-on modules.
From Release 6.1, the available configurations are:
one Add-on module 10 keys
one Add-on module 40 keys
one Add-on module 40 keys + one Add-on module 10 keys
one Electronic Add-On modules
two Electronic Add-On modules
three Electronic Add-On modules
Downloading the series 9 sets.
The loading of a dynamic patch with new binaries regarding the series 9 sets, are initialized automatically
following the type of downloading selected. This can eventually cause an inconvenience for the client if the
installation of the dynamic patch is carried out in the daytime; you should:
set the field Download policy (Phone Facilities categories) to Delayed
install the patch.
In Release 9.0, during the IP Touch initialization, the CS checks the MAC address of the set, returned at the
START_NOE TFTP request, and the MAC address of the set, returned during the signaling link initialization of
the set. A new field was added in IP-link protocol in the message that returns the IP address of the set. If this
new field is not present in the signaling message the initialization of the set is still performed, but the incident
441 is generated. This mechanism is not implemented on the MIPTs and IP SoftPhones.
Warning VoWLAN R1.x offer is no more supported from Release 7.0 and must be replaced by VoWLAN Release 3.0
offer from OmniPCX Enterprise Release 8.0.
For more information, refer to the technical communications TC0940 Technical Release Note for VoWLAN
Release 3.0 offer and TC1195 Technical Release Note of VoWLAN 4.1 for OmniPCX Enterprise.
MIPT handsets have same level of feature than an IP Touch set (call by name, tandem, Boss /
secretary, notification messages, Hotel and Hospital sets, etc.).
MIPT handsets are not supported in Contact Center, attendant, etc.
MIPT handsets support codecs G711 and G729A.
MIPT handsets supports the WEP, WPA and WPA2-PSK
As of Release 8.0, VoWLAN offer operates around Alcatel-Lucent IP Touch 310&610TM (MIPT
310&610) handsets, integrating the NOE protocol (New Office Environment) and compatible with or
without Mobile IP Touch SVP Server (SVP Server). The mode without SVP server is only available on
21.8.6 DECT
In the case of common hardware, DECT can be installed on different Media Gateways, but these
Media Gateways must be necessarily located on different sites due to the interferences this would
generate, the Media Gateways being not synchronized from a DECT point of view. You should not
have overlapping between base stations.
Only frequency number 1, 2, 4, 8 are available for PWT (5 does not work); same as for OmniPCX
4400.
DECT Campus.
The DECT Campus feature is not supported with Call Server or Appliance Server driving common hardware or
Crystal Media Gateway.
Due to a bad synchronization of INTOFS board, the DECT Campus is not operational. DECT(s) remain attached
to their preferential node. Thus in limit of coverage, there is no handover towards the node of better
coverage. In this case, reset INTOFS boards of the PCX after restarting the PCX
No cohabitation of DECT2 and DECT4 with DECT8.
5 digit DECT dialing.
This feature is only allowed for Mobile 100&200 Reflexes, Ascom DECT, 4074 HB in UA2 mode, GAP sets, TSC
DECT, 4073 (PWT).
As of Release 8.0, XL configuration is only supported on Appliance Server and does not allow an
operation of Campus DECT.
As of Release 8.0, DECT is available for USA. PWT and DECT cannot operate on the same installation.
INTIP3B board carries out a full DTM function for its own ACT. This means all DECT synchronizations
are broadcasted over the whole remote crystal including sub-level. In such case, there is no more
need to use an additional DECT synchro board in the shelf. It is forbidden in a remote ACT to perform
this DTM function on both INTIP3B and DECT board. INTIP3B switchover preserves the DECT
synchros.
21.8.10 NOE3G EE
It is possible that some sets will not reboot after upgrading the firmware (for that patch all new NOE 3G EE
sets are in 5.00.12).
Use the command “downstat i” to check who is not updated & rebooted.
Use the command “downstat i r HH:MM” to program a reboot of those sets.
Use the command “tftp_check -s -t [time]” to start the download (incident thrown : 391 : “Update the binaries
of IP set by tftp server”.
Technical communication to come (“TC2308 : technical release note for 8028s, ... Premium Deskphones”)

Troubleshooting
You can trace the overflow to external ldap server by phone book process
For the UTF-8 phone book
On OmniPCX Enterprise console launch:
utf8_pbm_tuner output-tty=`tty`
utf8_tuner trace-level=all
For non UTF-8 phone book
Note If the UTF-8 field is completed in user data with the same information as Latin name, the search of name in
the directory, using "Call by name", will give a double result ( Latin name + UTF-8 name).
From R9.1 (I1.605.31), search in internal Phone Book (Call By Name search ) with several results for
internal numbers and abbreviated numbers display first internal number before Abbreviated number in
case of dual entries for a same Name.
21.15 BOARDS
MIX board.
This board is not supported in a Rack 3U in central area.
INTOF2 board.
The mixing of various generation boards is allowed in a same rack but:
- the couplers in relation to the link must be of the same type
- the type of INTOF must be of the same type if the link is doubled or tripled
the INTOFS and INTOF2S are not compatible between them. If changing from INTOFS to INTOF2S, you
should also change the INTOFS which is faced to this board. No consistency check is possible with the
management because each board is part of a different node. Nevertheless an anomaly will be sent by the
INTOFS2 if the remote coupler is not the same.
DPT1-2 board.
NPRAE and DPT1-2 boards cannot be used together on the same PCX.
21.16 MISCELLANEOUS
Z sets ringing.
Maximum number of simultaneous ringing sets in a Rack 1U: 6.
Maximum number of simultaneous ringing sets Rack 3U: 20.
In the event where you should use a T1 access and an E1 access on the same system, the two boards
must be on different Media Gateway.
MIPT.
No music played during a music on hold.
Customized ringing melody.
The customized ringing file is limited to 16 melodies.
T0 interface on Media Gateway.
Back-up signaling.
The time to recover the telephonic functions in case of back-up link activation is about 3 to 6 minutes
depending on the Media Gateway configuration and the type of signaling link used for the back-up.
The number of digits expected when receiving the back-up call must be managed; see the Technical
Documentation.
The boards used for the establishment of the back-up link must be in the main rack.
In case of Crystal Server, it is mandatory to have a Media Gateway near the main zone to have the backup
feature.
In case an APA link is used for back-up signaling, this APA link will be dedicated for the back-up signaling.
DASS2 or DPNSS links are not supported as back-up links.
No IP Phone in dynamic address.
No 4049 nor 4059 attendant station behind a Media Gateway with potential back-up link.
Connection of Hybrid link/H323 links behind a Media Gateway with potential back-up link is
possible.
The following features are not accessible/provided when the back-up link is active:
