Page 16 of 258 Overview The SRG is implemented on a BCM50 platform and is connected to a CS 1000 at the main office over a LAN or a WAN. This configuration allows the call processing for the IP Phones at the SRG site to be centralized at the main office. The Call Server at the main office provides the call processing for the IP Phones in both the main office and branch offices. The SRG provides call processing functionality to telephones in local mode and local analog devices.
Overview Page 17 of 258 Figure 1: SRG network Main office hardware description The main office must be one of the following systems: • CS 1000S • CS 1000E • CS 1000M Cabinet • CS 1000M Chassis • CS 1000M HG • CS 1000M SG • CS 1000M MG Note: Throughout this document, references to CS 1000 systems encompass all CS 1000 system types. The diagrams throughout this documentation show a CS 1000S main office.
Page 18 of 258 Overview Signaling Server The Signaling Server is required at the main office only. It provides the following functions: • Terminal Proxy Server (TPS) — The TPS provides a connection from the IP Phones to the Call Server. It also provides a connection path from a virtual trunk to the Call Server.
Overview Page 19 of 258 • NRS Database — stores the central dialing plan in XML format for the H.323 Gatekeeper. The H.323 Gatekeeper accesses this common endpoint and gateway database. • Network Connect Server (NCS) — used only for Media Gateway 1000B (MG 1000B), SRG, Geographic Redundancy and Virtual Office solutions. The NCS allows the Line TPS (LTPS) to query the NRS using the UNIStim protocol. • NRS Manager web interface — the NRS provides its own web interface to configure the H.
Page 20 of 258 Overview • Analog (500/2500-type) telephones • WLAN Handset 2210/2211 Note: Throughout this document, the IP Phones in this list are referred to collectively as IP Phones. Main office requirements The branch office requires the following at the main office: • CS 1000 hardware, running Succession 3.0, CS 1000 Release 4.0, or CS 1000 Release 4.5. • IP Peer H.323 Trunk (H323_VTRK) package 399. This package is required to support H.323 functionality.
Overview Page 21 of 258 Interface: Features (553-3001-369) for more information about these features. • Network Attendant Service (NAS) package 159. This package is required for analog (500/2500-type) telephones in the branch office to access attendant services when the attendant is configured on the main office. • Network Message Services (NMS) package 175. This package is required for analog (500/2500-type) telephones in the branch office to share the voicemail system in the main office.
Page 22 of 258 Overview Normal Mode and Local Mode overview Normal Mode IP Phones that are physically located at the SRG but are registered with the main office are in Normal Mode. The main office provides centralized call processing for the SRG IP Phones. These telephones are registered to the main office TPS and are controlled by the Call Server at the main office. Users of the SRG IP Phones receive the features, key layout, and tones of the main office Call Server.
Overview Page 23 of 258 SRG supports the Geographic Redundancy feature. For further information about Geographic Redundancy, see Communication Server 1000: System Redundancy (553-3001-307). In the event of a WAN failure, the SRG IP Phones lose communication with the main office. This causes the SRG IP Phones to reset and register with the SRG. The IP Phones then operate in Local Mode, providing services based on a limited SRG feature set, which has significant differences from the CS 1000 software.
Page 24 of 258 Overview However, they cannot call any SRG analog (500/2500-type) telephones or any external numbers through the SRG trunks because the Virtual Trunks are not available. (SRG analog [500/2500-type] telephones are accessible if alternate routing is available through the PSTN.) Recovery to Normal Mode If an IP Phone is in Local Mode due to WAN failure or main office component failure, the SRG tries to communicate with the main office TPS at regular intervals.
Overview Page 25 of 258 Nortel recommends testing Local Mode operation after changing the provisioning for a telephone on the SRG. To ensure that users do not forget to resume Normal Mode operation, the SRG redirects the telephone to the main office to return the telephone to Normal mode. This occurs if the telephone remains registered to the SRG in Test Local Mode for ten minutes (default setting). Alternatively, the user can press the Quit key from the set to return to Normal Mode.
Page 26 of 258 Overview Bandwidth Management Overview For a complete overview of Bandwidth Management, refer to the Converging the Data Network with VoIP (553-3001-160), and for details on configuration, refer to “Bandwidth Management” on page 49. Network Bandwidth Management Network Bandwidth Management allows for a limit to be placed on the amount of interzone bandwidth allowed between IP Phones in Normal Mode at the SRG and the rest of the CS 1000 network.
Overview Page 27 of 258 Miscellaneous items Time of Day Because the SRG IP Phones, in Normal Mode, receive their clock information from the main office, which may be located in a different time zone, the main office must be able to provide a different time of day for these phones. The time zone of the SRG is configured with the SRG zone at the main office. The time zone adjusts the main office time for display at the SRG.
Page 28 of 258 Overview 2500-type) telephone. Since this is a call between IP and circuit-switched devices, a DSP resource on a Media Card is allocated and connected to the analog (500/2500-type) telephone. The IP address of the DSP resource is returned to the main office Call Server so a direct media path between the IP Phone and the DSP resource can be set up when the call is established. Refer to IP Peer Networking: Installation and Configuration (553-3001-213) for details.
Overview Page 29 of 258 Networking consideration A fault condition can occur if IP Phones use a different route to the main office than that used by the SRG. CAUTION — Service Interruption If the network is planned so that IP Phones use a different route to the main office than that used by the SRG, a fault condition can occur.
Page 30 of 258 Overview Virtual Trunks capacity The SRG capacity to support a number of simultaneous calls depends on the specific codec type used. In Normal Mode, the codec selection used is controlled by specific programming of the CS 1000. In this case: SRG 505 supports up to a maximum of 15 Virtual trunks unless both the intrazone and interzone codecs are configured as Best Quality (G.711), in which case the maximum number of Virtual Trunks would be 24.
Overview Page 31 of 258 can be an extension (for example, 4567). Under the Uniform Dialing Plan (UDP), it is the user’s main office DN, the Location Code (LOC), plus the Access Code (for example, 6 343-5555). Note: The main office DN must be an ESN compliant DN. See “ESN Access Codes” on page 31. For more information about dialing plans and configuration, see “Dialing Plan configuration” on page 167. For more information about the branch office dialing plan, refer to SRG50 Configuration Guide.

Page 50 of 258 Bandwidth Management Introduction CS 1000 supports Bandwidth Management on a network-wide basis so that voice quality can be managed between multiple Call Servers. Bandwidth management allows for codec selection and bandwidth limitations to be placed on calls, depending on whether the calls are intrazone or interzone. Adaptive Network Bandwidth Management is an enhancement of Bandwidth Management in which Quality of Service (QoS) metrics are used to automatically lower available bandwidth.
Bandwidth Management Page 51 of 258 By default, the G.711 codec must be supported at both ends of a call. Codec configuration is performed for each node and is independent of the signaling gateway that is used on the node. Note: The payload size on the CS 1000 must be set to 30 msec in order to work with the SRG. IP Peer Networking performs codec negotiation by providing a list of codecs that the devices can support. Use CS 1000 Element Manager to configure the list of codec capabilities.
Page 52 of 258 Bandwidth Management G.711 A-law and mu-law interworking In case the far end uses a different Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) encoding law for its G.711 codec, systems that are configured as G.711 A-law also include G.711 mu-law on their codec preferences list. Systems configured as G.711 mu-law include G.711 A-law as their last choice. Therefore, encoding law conversion is performed between systems with different laws.
Bandwidth Management Page 53 of 258 zones involved (that is, Best Bandwidth or Best Quality). Likewise, the bandwidth calculations use the preferred codec of the Voice Gateway Media Card for connections between a circuit-switched device (for example, a PRI trunk) and a Virtual Trunk. Codec selection For every Virtual Trunk call, a codec must be selected before the media path can be opened.
Page 54 of 258 Bandwidth Management H.323 Master/Slave algorithm In the case of a Virtual Trunk call between Nortel and third-party equipment, the H.323 Master/Slave algorithm is used. The codec selection algorithm proposed by the H.323 standard involves a Master/Slave negotiation. This is initiated each time two nodes exchange their capabilities (TCS message). The Master/Slave information decides that one node is Master and the other node is Slave.
Bandwidth Management • Page 55 of 258 For tandem calls, the Master/Slave information is not relevant. The Master/Slave information is designed for use between two nodes only, not between three or more nodes. It makes the codec selection for tandem calls more complex and inefficient. To solve the issues, another codec selection algorithm, not based on the unpredictable Master/Slave information, is needed. Since any change to the Master/Slave algorithm implies a change to the H.

Bandwidth Management Page 57 of 258 Zones Bandwidth Management Zones are configured for each endpoint on a Call Server. The Network Bandwidth Zone number determines if a call is an intrazone call or an interzone call. Once that is determined, the proper codec and bandwidth limit is applied to the call. All of the endpoints on one Call Server are configured with Zone number to identify all of the endpoints as being in a unique geographic location in the network.
Page 58 of 258 Bandwidth Management 3 Choose unique Bandwidth Zone numbers for the Virtual Trunks in the network. 4 Choose the codecs that will be enabled on each Call Server. 5 Identify what the interzone codec strategy will be (BB-Best Bandwidth or BQ-Best Quality) for each zone in the network. 6 Identify what the intrazone codec strategy will be (BB-Best Bandwidth or BQ-Best Quality) for each zone in the network.
Bandwidth Management Page 59 of 258 Figure 5 Configuring a codec Configuring Bandwidth Management The steps to configure Bandwidth Management on the Call Server are as follows: 1 Define a VPNI number in LD 15.
Page 60 of 258 Bandwidth Management — Interzone Bandwidth = maximum bandwidth usage allowed between peer Call Servers • Call Server zones that will be used for Virtual Trunks with the following properties: — Intrazone Preferred Strategy = Best Quality (BQ) — Intrazone Bandwidth = default (1000000) — Interzone Preferred Strategy = Best Quality (BQ) — Interzone Bandwidth = default (1000000) 3 Configure the IP Phone, DSP and Virtual Trunk data with the corresponding zone numbers.
Bandwidth Management Page 61 of 258 Figure 6 Zones web page Configuration using LD 117 A new Bandwidth Management zone is configured in LD 117 using the NEW ZONE command. An existing zone can be modified using the CHG ZONE command.
Page 62 of 258 Bandwidth Management LD 117 Configure a new or existing Bandwidth Management zone. Command Description NEW | CHG ZONE [ ] Configure a new zone (NEW) or change (CHG) an existing zone, where: • zoneNumber = 0-255 • intraZoneBandwidth = Available intrazone bandwidth (Kbit/s); Nortel recommends this value be set to the maximum value.

Page 68 of 258 Bandwidth Management feedback. This dynamic bandwidth adjustment maintains a high level of voice quality during network degradation. The Adaptive Network Bandwidth Management feature dynamically adapts to QoS in the network and reduces the bandwidth available for interzone calls if QoS degrades. Typically, each Call Server in the network has a zone assigned to it. The Call Server keeps track of the bandwidth being used between its own zone and zones belonging to other Call Servers.
Bandwidth Management Page 69 of 258 Adaptive Network Bandwidth Management to these new zones as required. Therefore, as new Call Servers are added to the network, it is not necessary to re-provision all the other Call Servers on the network to take into account this new Call Server. Conversely, when Call Servers are removed from the network, the remaining Call Servers age out the old Call Server information and therefore, provide only up to date bandwidth information.

Bandwidth Management Page 71 of 258 Zone bandwidth management and Adaptive Network Bandwidth Management Using Element Manager or the Command Line Interface (CLI), previously configured zones (except Zone 0) can have the Adaptive Network Bandwidth Management feature turned on or off. Once turned on, alarm threshold levels and the QoS coefficients can be adjusted from the default values. Adaptive Network Bandwidth Management cannot be enabled for Zone 0.
Page 72 of 258 Bandwidth Management When a Call Server receives a QoS alarm, the two zones that originated the alarm are determined. Using this information, the Call Server reduces the bandwidth limit between the two zones. This zone-to-zone bandwidth limit (in effect at any particular time) is known as the Sliding Maximum Bandwidth Limit and is a percentage of the Configured Interzone bandwidth limit.

Increasing them from their default values causes the Sliding Maximum to decrease faster in response to the specific QoS alarm. The QoS Coefficient (CQoS) can be varied from its default value. Increasing this value causes the Sliding Maximum to change more rapidly in response to QoS alarms.

Bandwidth Management Page 93 of 258 Tandem Bandwidth Management overview In order for the main office to correctly keep track of all the bandwidth being used to and from a branch office the call must be tandemed through the main office. When calls are tandemed through the main office only the signaling is tandemed, the actual voice bandwidth travels directly between the source and destination.
Page 94 of 258 Bandwidth Management Patch Number A patch is required on the main office in order to invoke this feature. The patch number is MPLR 20259. Dialing Plan Overview Depending upon the type of dialing plan used in the network (Coordinated Dialing Plan [CDP], or Uniform Dialing Plan [UDP] or a combination of both) the general idea is to have all calls that are terminating at a branch office first dial a number that will get routed to the main office associated with that branch office.

Page 96 of 258 Bandwidth Management Network using Uniform Dialing Plan The following section provides general network configuration for a network using UDP only. Figure 20 shows two or more main offices with their branch offices, within a larger network. Callers within each main office/branch office “region” use UDP to place calls between systems. Callers also use UDP to place calls across the IP network to the other main office(s) and its (their) branch offices.

Page 128 of 258 Alternative Call Routing for Network Bandwidth Management Figure 41 shows a diagram of a typical network where Alternative Call Routing for NBWM can be used. It illustrates the sequence of events that are explained in the information following the diagram. Event number 1 pertains to the originally dialed call that experiences low bandwidth or unacceptable QoS conditions. Event number 2 pertains to the alternately routed call.
Alternative Call Routing for Network Bandwidth Management Page 129 of 258 When there is insufficient bandwidth for a station-to-station call, the Alternative Call Routing for NBWM feature uses a trunk for a call which would not normally use a trunk.
Page 130 of 258 Alternative Call Routing for Network Bandwidth Management Configure one of these two modes of operation (Bandwidth insufficiency or All Calls) on a zone basis. The Alternative Call Routing for NBWM feature deals only with interzone calls. This feature is configurable for main office and branch office zones, not virtual trunk zones. It is possible to configure this feature to re-route all calls to MCDN or PSTN routes and still maintain the main office-branch office architecture.
Alternative Call Routing for Network Bandwidth Management Page 131 of 258 How Alternative Call Routing for NBWM works When a user dials a station-to-station call between two different zones (that is, the calling and called telephones are not located in the same geographic area) and the bandwidth limit has been reached, then the Alternative Call Routing feature is invoked. The following steps occur in Alternative Call Routing scenarios.
Page 132 of 258 Alternative Call Routing for Network Bandwidth Management 4 The main office determines the RLI and uses a DMI to change the dialed number into a PSTN/MCDN format number. 5 The call is routed over the PSTN/MCDN to the telephone at the branch office. With the ALTPrefix digits inserted, the resulting number must be one that CDP or VNR software can process as a steering code.
Alternative Call Routing for Network Bandwidth Management Page 133 of 258 Before deciding whether to program the steering codes as Distant Steering Codes (DSC) or Trunk Steering Codes (TSC), take into account that the system counts the digits in calls that start with a DSC. Without Flexible Numbering Plan (FNP), DSC calls must have the same number of digits as specified in LD 86 ESN (the NCDP prompt). With FNP, fewer digits are acceptable, if the FLEN prompt is programmed correctly.

Example: ALTPrefix assigned is 222. The dialed number becomes 222 5262. 4 The call is routed to the virtual trunk by CDP or VNR. The virtual trunk sends a request to the NRS for address resolution. The digit string sent to the NRS contains the ALTPrefix.

However, if the two systems are located at a great distance from each other, it may make sense to program the main office to use trunks at the branch office for alternately routed calls. If there is a location with multiple NXX codes for DID users, it is possible to translate and outpulse calls properly as long as each NXX has a unique DN range.

Page 168 of 258 Dialing Plan configuration On-net dialing plan Note: The SRG only supports only one dialing plan option at a time. CDP and UDP dialing plan options cannot be configured at the same time in the same system. The SRG supports the following dialing plans: • Coordinated Dialing Plan (CDP) – BUID is the same as the Directory Number (DN) • Uniform Dialing Plan (UDP) – Location code is added to the DN for the BUID Note 1: Nortel recommends that the SRG use CDP.
Dialing Plan configuration Page 169 of 258 However, this configuration represents only one way that the dialing plan could be configured. PSTN calls can be routed according to the point of origin (main office or branch office) and/or the desired destination, and can select trunks at the main office, branch office, or other branch offices as required. Therefore, the user can route calls to gateways that minimize long-distance costs, minimize bandwidth usage, or meet other criteria.
Page 170 of 258 Dialing Plan configuration Routing calls SRG user call to an SRG PSTN The SRG user telephone is registered at the main office. The SRG user telephones are physically located at the branch office, so routing of local PSTN calls back to the branch office is essential, even if they are registered with the main office. Branch office behavior of the SRG user telephones at the main office is configured by setting branch office zone characteristics through LD 117 at the main office.
Dialing Plan configuration Page 171 of 258 Zone-based digit manipulation For SRG users in Normal Mode, it may be desirable to provide routing that is different from that provided to main office users. For example, it may be desirable to route certain calls directly to the SRG PSTN trunk, rather than receive the same routing as non-SRG users in the main office.
Page 172 of 258 Dialing Plan configuration For a given branch office, there may be more than one zone defined at the main office. Therefore, different SRG users may receive different routing treatments. The combination of zone-based digit manipulation and CS 1000 routing capabilities can be used to achieve many other routing outcomes for SRG user calls. Calling Line ID composition Digital manipulation is commonly used for digit insertion and deletion.
Dialing Plan configuration Page 173 of 258 Special Number. The call-type before digit manipulation is determined as follows: • If the call-type before digit manipulation is SPN (Special Number), it is converted to a value corresponding to the CLTP parameter in the Special Number Translations data block, as shown in Table 16.
Page 174 of 258 Dialing Plan configuration • At the branch office, configure the Virtual Trunk to enable calls originating on SRG IP Phones in Normal Mode to reach the branch office. Refer to IP Peer Networking: Installation and Configuration (553-3001-213) for details. • At the branch office, configure trunks for access to the PSTN. • At the main office, configure the branch office zone properties in LD 117, excluding the ZACB and ZDP properties.
Dialing Plan configuration • Page 175 of 258 At the branch office (see Procedure 13 on page 187): 1 Configure the Route List Index. 2 Configure ESN. These steps can be done using overlays, as described in this section, or in Element Manager and NRS Manager. Refer to IP Peer Networking: Installation and Configuration (553-3001-213) for more details. For information on configuring the dialing plan at the branch office, refer to SRG50 Configuration Guide.
Page 176 of 258 Dialing Plan configuration For example, assume that AC1 = 1, AC2 = 2, and ZDP = 101. If an SRG user dials “1 87654321”, ZDP is inserted in the dialed digits to form a digit string of “1 101 87654321”. If an SRG user dials “2 87654321”, ZDP is inserted in the dialed digits to form a digit string of “2 101 87654321”. • CHG ZACB AC1 AC2 In this configuration, only calls dialed with AC1 undergo zonebased digit manipulation.
Dialing Plan configuration 2 Page 177 of 258 Configure the ZDB property for the branch office zone in the main office. Refer to IP Peer Networking: Installation and Configuration (553-3001213). LD 117 – Define the zone digit manipulation for the branch office zone at the main office.
Page 178 of 258 Dialing Plan configuration routes the call to the NRS because it recognizes “101 87654321” after the Access Code rather than “87654321”. The Access Code (“1”) is not included in the digit string that is sent to the NRS. The NRS recognizes “101” at the front of the digit string and routes the call to the destination SRG. At the branch office, the ESN Special Number is configured (step 2 on page 190) to remove “101” from the digit string and route the call based on the digits “87654321”.

Page 226 of 258 Emergency Services configuration IMPORTANT! In Normal Mode, an IP Phone must have a Virtual Trunk available and configured between the main office and branch office in order to complete an emergency services call. IMPORTANT! Do not route ESA calls to a node that has no direct ESA trunks. For SRG applications, Nortel recommends two alternative general methods to specify which digit string results in a call to emergency services: • Use the Emergency Services Access (ESA) feature.
Emergency Services configuration Page 227 of 258 With all sites using the same ESDN, a conflict occurs in the NRS. The conflict is resolved by using a unique prefix for each site that the main office adds as it routes the call. The suggested prefix is the ESN home location code of the SRG, or alternately, the Numbering Plan Area (NPA) code of the SRG if there is not more than one Call Server in the NPA.
Page 228 of 258 Emergency Services configuration The implications of routing calls to nodes without direct ESA trunks are as follows: • At the node without the direct ESA trunks, the node cannot route the ESA call directly to the PSAP. Instead, that node must re-route the call to another node. This re-routing is an unnecessary use of resources. • If the node is a CS 1000E node, the only tandem trunks are IP Peer trunks.
Emergency Services configuration Page 229 of 258 ESA must be configured and tested on the main office Call Server and the SRG to differentiate between emergency calls originating from IP Phones at each location and calls originating on trunks. Use the following steps to configure ESA for emergency access at each location: 1 Determine the dialing plan (for example, numbering plan) for ESA calls. 2 Configure the main office emergency trunk (CAMA or PRI).
Page 230 of 258 Emergency Services configuration 15 Configure the NRS for the ESA Special Number used. 16 Test ESDN using an analog (500/2500-type) telephone located at the branch office. 17 Test ESDN using an SRG IP Phone in Normal Mode and in Local Mode. Determining the dialing plan for ESA calls In many jurisdictions of the United States and Canada, the emergency number must be “911”.
Emergency Services configuration Page 231 of 258 Procedure 15 Configuring the main office Use Element Manager or the Command Line Interface for this procedure. Refer to IP Peer Networking: Installation and Configuration (553-3001-213) for details. 1 Configure the main office emergency trunk (CAMA or PRI). Configure either analog CAMA or digital PRI to correctly signal the call identification. ESA overrides all restrictions.

Page 238 of 258 Emergency Services configuration Configuring the NRS for ESA SPN The NRS must be configured for the ESA Special Number (SPN). The NRS uses the ESA SPN to route the emergency call from the main office to the branch office. Nortel recommends that a consistent pattern be followed for all ESA calls. For example, use “0” + ESN Location code of the branch office node + the ESDN. An example for location code 725 would be: 0725911.
Emergency Services configuration 2 Page 239 of 258 For analog (500/2500-type) telephones, dial the ESDN on an SRG analog (500/2500-type) telephone. The calls must go out on the emergency trunk(s) in the branch office. End of Procedure Configuring ESA using Element Manager From Element Manager, you can configure ESA. From the Zone List window in Element Manager (see Figure 61 on page 192), select the Branch Office Emergency Service option, and enter the necessary information.
Page 240 of 258 Emergency Services configuration Access to Emergency Service using SPN should be configured in the following circumstances: • When there is more than one number used for accessing Emergency Service; for example, when there are different numbers for Police, Fire, and Ambulance services. • In markets where the ESA feature is not available (outside of North America and CALA). To configure Emergency Service using SPN, follow the process outlined in “Dialing Plan configuration” on page 167.

Page 242 of 258 Enhanced UNIStim Firmware Download For CS 1000 Release 4.5, if the required firmware file does not exist on the SRG50, or the version of the file is incorrect, the SRG50 initiates an FTP session to the TPS for the IP Phone to retrieve the required file. The SRG50 upgrades the IP Phone and redirects the IP Phone back to the CS 1000. For Release 3.0 and Release 4.0, if the required file does not exist on the SRG50, the SRG50 must be patched to the proper firmware level.

Page 252 of 258 List of terms provided by ESA. Please note, however, that the ESA feature is also generally useful for users who are not subject to legislation, and is broad enough to be used in different countries. For example, it will be appreciated by any customer who wants to route emergency calls in a special manner, or who wants to be notified when a telephone user makes an emergency call.
List of terms Page 253 of 258 Transport Control Protocol (TCP), which establishes a virtual connection between a destination and a source. IP by itself is something like the postal system. It enables you to address a package and drop it in the system, but there's no direct link between you and the recipient. TCP/IP, on the other hand, establishes a connection between two hosts so that they can send messages back and forth for a period of time. LAN Local Area Network.
Page 254 of 258 List of terms PSTN Public Switched Telephone Network. The international telephone system based on copper wires carrying analog voice data. This is in contrast to newer telephone networks based on digital technologies. Telephone service carried by the PSTN is often called plain old telephone service (POTS). QoS Quality of Service, a networking term that specifies a guaranteed throughput level.
List of terms Page 255 of 258 TPS IP Phone Terminal Proxy Server. This server controls the connection of IP Phones. It resides on the Signaling Server with an emergency backup on the Voice Gateway Media Card. UDP Uniform Dialing Plan. Each location within the network is assigned a Location Code, and each telephone has a Directory Number that is unique within the network. Under the UDP, the SRG must include the location code in the Branch User ID (BUID).
