System Architecture 3.

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

communications resources. The elements and resources are software modules managed by the

ControlSwitch Element Management System (EMS). For hardware configurations, refer to

ControlSwitch Hardware Guidelines.

This chapter provides information on the mandatory (basic) CS system architecture. For details on

system resources, see Resources. For the CS advanced elements, see the ControlSwitch Advanced

Elements and Services User's Manual, section System Architecture. The following figure depicts the

mandatory CS elements.

 Element Management System (EMS). Enables the settings and the management of the CS

system, using the EMS GUI.

 Event Collector (EC). Collects, and stores call-related information from CCE, ICE, and SEE. The

stored information is used (by CDRM) to generate billing information, produce reports, and

analyze performance.

 Call Detail Record Management (CDRM). The CDR Manager is the mediation subsystem

between the Event Collectors and the external billing applications, generating call detailed

record files.

 Policy Element (PE). Provides the call routing functionality of the ControlSwitch. During a call,

the PE is queried by the SEE for call treatment. The PE queries the appropriate database(s) to

respond to the SEE with the relevant information.

 Service Execution Element (SEE). Includes and controls the state machine of the CS, providing a

flexible framework for service management. The SEE communicates with the PE, SSE, CCE, and

ICE elements. ICE and CCE translate the IP and the PSTN VoIP messages to a generic call

processing language that SEE uses for service execution.

 SIGTRAN Signaling Element (SSE). SSE handles the ISUP and TCAP messages in the CS system by

managing multiple M3UA ASP pairs, associated with multiple M3UA SGs (SGPs).

 Call Control Element (CCE). Provides a platform for the Call Control Elements (CCE), that are

created upon the creation of the media gateways. CCE is responsible for protocol processing,

mediation between signaling protocols such as MGCP, PRI, SS-7, and the CS's internal protocol,

and management of the system resources such as TGs, CICs, and gateways

 IP Control Element (ICE). Handles the VoIP protocols: SIP and H.323, in the CS system. Multiple

ICE elements can handle multiple instances of H.323 and SIP. There are three types of ICE

elements: H.323, SIP, and SIP-ISUP.

Event Collectors (EC) 5.

The Event Collectors (EC) element collects, and stores call-related information from CCE, ICE, and SEE.

The stored information is used (by CDRM) to generate billing information, produce reports, and analyze

performance.

ECs are deployed in pairs. Both are active, and both receive the call-related information from the

relevant elements simultaneously.

ECs can be added to the system in order to enhance scalability, in response to network growth. The

Event Controllers window allows users to manage the EC elements.

The Event Controllers window is divided into the following sections:

 Event Controllers Summary - (at the top of the window) Displays a list of ECs, and an array of

buttons used to manage them.

 Associated Call Control Elements - A list of Call Control Elements associated with the selected

EC, located at the bottom of the window.

5.1 Event Collectors Summary

The Event Collectors Summary allows the user to view and manage EC elements, using the buttons in

the Actions column.

The following table details the displayed EC parameters.

Term

Definition

Name

EC's unique name

DNS Name

The DNS name of the EC (optional)

Primary IP

The primary IP Address of the EC element

Secondary IP

The secondary IP Address of the EC element

Paired EC

The name of the paired EC

Admin State

The administrative state of the EC. Possible values: LOCKED, UNLOCKED (default)

The default administrative state of a new EC is UNLOCKED. An UNLOCKED EC can be in service.

Op State

The operational state of the EC. Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED (default)

The default operational state of a new EC is DISABLED. EMS updates the state to ENABLED

when it detects that the element is in operation.

Control Status

Table: EC Parameters

To see the detailed EC information, double-click on the selected EC.

The following operational actions are applied:
