More specifically, this module focuses on a review of PBX
Trang 4–Lowest cost and other policy-based routing
–Manipulation of outgoing and incoming digits
–Park, etc.
• Provides for sophisticated selection of route, i.e., saves on toll costs
• Provides detailed use records
There are many benefits of PBX
•It allows many phones in an office to share a fewer number of
outside lines, which helps to control cost growth
•It supports many different features, including:
• Short-numbering extensions
• Conferencing
• Forwarding
• Security restrictions
• Lowest cost and other policy-based routing
• Manipulation of outgoing and incoming digits
Trang 5A private branch exchange (PBX) cabinet is a metal housing designed to hold the electronic components that make the PBX work Each cabinet
contains one or more shelves, or carriers with slots Each shelf in the PBX accepts a certain number of circuit boards There are different types of
circuit boards within a PBX, including the following:
• Both-way trunk circuit boards—Supports both-way trunks or
combination trunks that receive incoming calls or place outgoingcalls
• DID trunk circuit boards—Support a special type of trunk used for
incoming direct inward dialing (DID) calls only
• Universal trunk circuit boards—Mix both-way trunks, DID trunks,
loop-start tie trunks on the same board Also support Recorded ANnouncement (RAN), overhead paging, and music-on-hold
Trang 6Extra Text
• Tie trunk circuit boards—Support point-to-point lines connecting two PBXs
so that the users of both systems may communicate with each other
without per-minute toll charges Most analog Ear and Mouth (E&M)
tie-trunk circuit boards handle two or four tie tie-trunks
• T1/E1 circuit boards—Multiplexers that support a high-capacity T1 or E1 circuit, enabling up to 24 (T1) or 30 (E1) voice conversations at one time Recall that T1 is the term used for a DS-1 signal carried over two copper pairs T1 is a type of line that is not a signaling type
• Digital telephone circuit boards—Support digital telephones The analog voice signal converts to a digital form at the telephone and goes back to the PBX as pulse code modulated (PCM) encoded bytes
• Analog telephone circuit boards—Support analog telephones, as well as fax machines, computer modems, and any other device which utilizes a plain old telephone service (POTS)-type loop start analog interface
• DTMF receiver circuit boards—Contain dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) receivers
• MF receiver circuit boards -Contain multifrequency (MF) receivers
• Tone sender boards -Generate all the tones for a system, including dial
tone, busy tone, DTMF, MF, and CLASS
• Common control circuit boards—Central processing unit of the PBX
When two PBXs communicate over non-ISDN tie trunks, they can use E&M

This graphic depicts typical legacy PBX-to-PBX connectivity connecting two PBXs in different local access and transport areas (LATAs)
The actual connections are from the PBX to the local exchange carrier
(LEC), for example, the central office (CO) switch then to a LEC tandem switch From there the connection is made to an inter exchange carrier’s (IXC) point-of-presence (POP), then into the IXC network cloud The
connections at the other end follow the reverse path
Tie-trunks are generally cross-connected (hard-wired) instead of switched at the LEC (CO) and IXC level If they are configured to go into a LEC/IXC switch, they are configured as dedicated nailed-up circuits

The PBX stack is a representation of the various layers of functionality
supported by a PBX The lists of items for each layer are illustrative and not complete
You may also think about other components that provide line and trunk
supervision and signaling methods:
For analog and channel associated signaling (CAS):
• Seizure and disconnect supervision: loop-start, ground start, E&M, loop dial repeating
• (Dial) starting arrangements: Wink-start, immediate dial, delay dial
• Addressing methods: DTMF, MF, dial pulse
• Answer supervision: Battery reversal, E&M control lead signaling

Analog
Analog trunk circuits connect automated systems (such as a PBX) and the network (such as a central office) The most common form of analog tie trunk is the E&M interface Like a serial port, E&M has a DTE/DCE type of reference In the telecom world, the “trunking” side is similar to the DCE, and is usually associated with CO functionality The Cisco 3600 acts as this side of the interface
The other side is referred to as the “signaling” side, like a DTE, and is usually a device such as a PBX There are five distinct physical configurations for the E&M interface (types 1-5), and two distinct flavors of audio interface (2-wire or 4-wire) Note that even though it may be called a 4-wire E&M circuit, it is likely to have 6 to 8 physical wires! The difference between a 2-wire and 4 -wire circuit is whether the audio path is full duplex on one pair or two pairs of wires
The foreign exchange office (FXO) interface (typically an interface card) supports the CO side loop-start line The foreign exchange station (FXS) supports the
station-side of the loop-start line Foreign exchange (FX) is the term used
historically to describe the PBX or telephone instrument connection to a remote CO Typically the “FX line” was used to get local, toll-free dialing in another LATA
Digital
Digital T1/E1trunk circuits are 4 wire In Europe, and soon in North America, ISDN BRI can be used as a trunk The BRI U-interface is 2-wire Subscriber lines may be 2- or 4-wire They support several typical analog signaling protocols, both in-band and out-of-band, ISDN, and analog emulation
Trang 11III General Design Implications
The next section of this presentation is going to discuss PBX signaling
Trang 12• In-band signaling
• CCS—Common channel signaling
• Out-of-band signaling
• Digital subscriber lines: 2-wire, 4-wire
• Digital trunks: 4-wire
Method of communicating telephony events: off-hook, busy, on-hook, etc.
Types of Signaling
There are two flavors of loop start lines The Station side loop start line uses
an FXS interface, while the CO side uses an FXO interface.Typically, digital lines are associated with out-of-band signaling

Types of Telephony Signaling
Types of telephony signaling are as follows:
• Supervisory—Monitoring the status of a line or circuit to determine if it
is busy, idle or requesting service (flash-hook) Supervision is the term derived from the function of monitoring manual circuits on a
switchboard At that time, the signal was conveyed by a switchboard lamp for the line Now voltage levels, signaling tones, or bits (digital signaling) provide this function
• Addressing—The process of transmitting routing and destination
signals over the network Addressing signals include dial pulses, tone pulses, or data pulses over loops, trunks, and signaling networks
• Call progress—Signals that inform the user of the status of the call setup, for example, busy tones
Trang 14III General Design Implications
The next few slides will focus on the analog side of PBX Signaling

Analog Signaling
There are three traditional types of analog signaling: E&M, station side
loop-start Signaling (FXO interface side), and CO side loop-start
signaling Stations connected to PBXs or central offices use the FXS
interface, while CO switches use the FXO interface
Consider the various interfaces available from the PBX when
interconnecting Cisco components Understand that the connection
needs to be supervised Supervision handles such things as call setup
and teardown, and monitors the actions of the connected entities
Analog is not the best approach for more than a few trunks The best way today is connecting PBXs via an ISDN PRI over a T1 circuit The
signaling used must support call supervision Without supervision, if a
caller hangs up the phone after receiving no answer, the “called” remote phone will continue to ring

The other side is referred to as the “signaling” side, like a DTE, and is usually a device such as a PBX There are five distinct physical configurations for the signali ng part of the interface (types 1 to 5), and two distinct flavors of audio interface (2-wire or 4-wire) Note that even though it may be called a 4-wire E&M circuit, it is likely to have 6
to 8 physical wires! The difference between a 2-wire and 4-wire circuit is whether the audio path is full-duplex on one or two pairs of wires
The five E&M types are as follows:
• Type 1
• Asymmetrical: Cannot be used “back to back”
• Does not provide ground isolation between equipment, may produce noise
in audio circuits, or be susceptible to electrical transients
• Only requires six wires
• Most common interface in North America
Trang 17• Type 2
• Can be used “back to back” for either trunking or signaling sides with
crossover cable
• Provides complete ground isolation
• Requires all eight wires
• Usually used on Centrex lines and Nortel PBX systems
• Type 3
• Asymmetrical: Cannot be used “ back to back”
• Provides ground isolation
• Requires all eight wires
• Mostly used on older, step-by-step CO systems
• Type 4

In the voice telephony world, the terms “lines” and “trunks” have special meaning
A trunk is a circuit which connects two pieces of a switching environment together
A trunk, DIDs excepted, is not assigned a publicly dialable directory number A line
is a circuit that connects a piece of the switching environment to a subscriber A line always has a directory number assigned to it
When a subscriber places a call to another subscriber on the same switch, the call
is a “line -to-line” call When a subscriber places a call to a subscriber on another switch, it is a “line-to-trunk” to “trunk-to-line” call
The terms line and trunk are sometimes in the eye of the beholder Circuits that PBXs use to connect to a CO switch and to place or receive calls are viewed by the PBX as “trunks." The same circuits may be considered, however, as “lines” to the
CO switch The same CO POTS circuit which has been assigned a directory
number (for example, 573-555-1212) can be used equally well by a residential
subscriber with a single line phone as it can by a PBX The circuit is connected on the CO’s line side, and on the PBX’s trunk side To the CO, the circuit is a line To the PBX, the circuit is a trunk

Analog Supervisory Signaling
It is possible to mix starting signaling protocols, but is is not recommended The following are three such signaling protocols:
• Immediate start signaling
• The originating switch goes off-hook, waits for a finite period of time (200
ms, for example), then sends the dial digits without regard to the far end
• An immediate start interface can usually originate a call to a wink start interface
• An immediate start interface can usually place a call to a delay dial
interface if the delay pulse is shorter than the immediate start delay
Otherwise, operation is erratic
Trang 20• wink start signaling
– The originating switch goes off-hook, waits for a temporary off-hook pulse from the other end (which is interpreted as an indication to proceed), then sends the dial digits wink start was developed to minimize glare, where both ends attempt to seize the trunk at the same time
– A wink start interface can usually originate a call into a delay dial interface
if there is a delay pulse Otherwise, the call will hang, with a 50 percent chance of working or not
• Delay dial signaling
– The originating side goes off-hook and waits for about 200 ms, then
checks to see if the far end is on-hook If the far end is on-hook, it outputs dial digits If the far end is off-hook, it waits until it goes on-hook, then outputs dial digits
– This protocol was invented for use with systems that have fewer digit collectors than trunk interfaces The delay signal says, in effect “Wait—I'm not ready to receive digits.”
– A delay dial interface can, for the most part, originate a call into an
immediate start or wink start interface
Addressing via “in-band” signaling is performed by dial pulse, DTMF, and MF
These can be used over digital, for example, T1 circuits Dial p ulse is emulated with A/B bits, while DTMF is carried as PCM-encoded audio
