System Architecture 2.

ControlSwitch (CS) is composed of mandatory elements, advanced (optional) elements, and

communications resources. They are managed by the ControlSwitch Element Management System

(EMS). This chapter provides information on the advanced CS elements architecture:

The following figure depicts the advanced CS elements

 Media Resource Controllers (MRC). MRC enables the control of the transcoding, and border

gateways via the BGC processes.

 Event Relay Servers (ERS). ERS retrieves the Event Collectors' (EC) collected events, converts

them to XML, filters the events according the client's required criteria, and sends them to the

client/s monitoring applications.

 Data Collection Agents (DCA). DCA (also referred to as QoS Server), correlates the events from

the ERS, creates QoS metrics, and sends them to the PE for decision making, and sends

statistical information to the EMS.

 Application Gateways (AG). AG consists of the elements below:

 LNP Signaling Gateway (LSG). LSG allows access to SIP/ENUM based servers that host

the LNP (Local Number Portability) information.

 Routing Signaling Gateway (RSG). RSG is a SIP-based component, which interacts with

external routing servers, for prepaid services.

 Directory Services Engine (DSE). DSE provides directory services to the CS. Phone ranges and

translation tables can be removed from the EMS database to the DSE that acts as a SCP.

 Interconnection Border Control Function IBCF Border Gateway Controller (BGC). BGC is the

controller component of the Dialogic Security Solution, which controls the Border Gateway

(BGW) element, via H.248.

This document also includes the following definitions and settings:

ControlSwitch (v.5.11.1) Advanced Elements and Services User’s Manual

 Dialogic Inc. Proprietary Page 14

 Signaling Connection Control Part (SCCP). SCCP is a connection oriented network layer protocol

that provides extended routing, flow control, segmentation, and error correction capabilities in

SS7 networks.

 Transaction Capabilities Application Part Signaling Element (TCAPSE). TCAPSE handles the TCAP

services in the CS. It is a process, located in SSE, which performs TCAP encoding/decoding, and

bridges between CCE and SSE.

This document details also the transcoding and the border gateways, and the Services tab functions and

settings.

Provisioning Guidelines 3.

3.1 Remote Services Configuration

For all CS remote services configuration, the following steps should be considered:

 Configure how to provide the service (Local and remote gateways configuration)

 Configure when to execute the service (in which state of the call, and for which trunk group)

How:

1. Configure the CS Local gateway that interfaces with the remote service (such as RSG, LSG, and

TCAPSE)

2. Define the remote service node that for the service queries (such as SIP routing server, SIP LNP

server, ENUM LNP server, and SCP)

3. Associate the remote server to a local gateway (several gateways can be associate with one

remote server for load balancing or high availability

4. Associate the remote server with service

5. Configure the service list (list of services of the same type, for example SIP-LNP, ENUM-LNP,

INAP-LNP), used to enable the service in different methods, providing priority settings, and

high availability.

When:

1. Configure the service trigger (see Services for architecture, and ControlSwitch Policies and

Routing User’s Manual, section Service Trigger for configuration guidelines), by defining what

service to activate at each DP (trigger) during the call. This includes the following entities:

 Plan Group. List of plans (DPs/states).

 Plans (DPs). Each plan defines the behavior in a specific DP (e.g. Origination attempt),

according to the associated policies. List of DPs are: Route Select Failure, Originating

Attempt, Origination Answer, Off hook Delay, and Specific Digit String

 Policies, Rules (trigger - in which condition (if/else) to activate the policy) and

treatments (What to do if the rule is TRUE)

 Service Trigger. Which service (e.g. LNP, Black list) trigger to activate (not all

services can be activate on all DP), see ControlSwitch Policies and Routing User’s

Manual, section Service Trigger.

 Service List. Select a service list that can support this trigger

2. Associate a trunk group with a plan group (see ControlSwitch Elements and Resources User’s

Manual, section Trunk Groups, Services).
