2.8.4 MX-ONE Manager Availability
MX-ONE Manager Availability provides fault and performance manage-
ment for MX-ONE servers and applications, that is, MX-ONE Telephony
System, OneBox as well as the Linux and Microsoft Windows servers
they run on.
Manager Availability is based on selected BMC ProactiveNet Perfor-
mance Management components and prepared for integration with
existing SNMP-capable management frameworks, therefore providing
the benefit of leveraging customers' existing skills, processes, and
management framework investments.
3 What's new in MX-ONE 5.0
3.1 Software based Media Gateway
From MX-ONE 5.0 Service Pack 4 (SP4), it is now possible to have an
MX-ONE server without physical Media GW hardware. This option is
valid for installations where no TDM connectivity is required (IP/SIP
only). The MX-ONE Media server software in this case will reside directly
on the TS Linux machine. It will handle recorded RVA services, tone
detection and ad-hoc conferences (up to 8 parties per conference) as
well as forced GW calls (H.323 to SIP for example), as per normal media
GW services. However, as there is no MGW hardware, there is no
support for physical connection to TDM based end-points. All trunks and
extensions connected to this server shall be SIP or IP based. With
MX-ONE 5.0 SP4, it is only possible to configure a single server system
with one media server instance. It is not possible to mix media servers
and HW based MGUs in the same server. In a later release, it will be
possible to have other servers in the same system with MGU HW or
network with systems using traditional media GWs.
For analog endpoints (phones/fax), Terminal Adapters, such as DRG22i
or TA7102i should be used. It would also be possible to use SIP trunks
towards 3rd party SIP trunking gateways, if connectivity is needed
towards traditional PSTN networks. Furthermore, as there is no physical
TMU boards installed, certain limitations apply. These are described in
the CPI documentation. From a capacity perspective, the SW based
MGU can handle up to 256 concurrent RTP resources that can be used
for any combination of the operations described above. The MX-ONE
Media Server resides in the TS system SUSE Linux OS, either on phys-
ical server HW or as part of a virtual machine in a VMware host.
