3 1 Introduction This Guide describes the steps for configuring the Network Equipment Technologies (NET) Tenor AF, or Tenor AX to work with AT&T s IP Toll Free Service. The NET Quintum-Tenor AF/AX provides VoIP capability to Analog Telephones, Analog Key Systems and Analog PBXs. Tenor Software release P was tested with the Service. AT&T IP Toll-Free is a managed Voice over IP communication solution that supports inbound toll-free calling on your data network giving you toll-free service for your U.S. sites. Toll-Free calls originate in the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) and are transported over the AT&T MPLS network for delivery via an IP access facility. The NET Tenor works with your legacy premise telephone equipment and Call Center applications to answer Toll Free (8YY) calls. The Tenor AF/AX is a gateway device that converts calls to be answered by your legacy Analog Telephones, Analog Key Systems, Analog PBXs and Analog Call Center applications. The Tenor AF/X uses SIP signaling to answer calls from the network. References in this Service Guide to Tenor refer to the Tenor AF or Tenor AX.

4 2 Special Notes 2.1 Tenor Transfer Feature Must be Turned Off The internal Tenor IP transfer feature (REFER) must be disabled in the Tenor configuration. The NET Tenor will work with the AT&T Legacy Transfer Connect feature (inband) if the Tenor IP SIP Transfer feature is disabled. 2.2 Session Description Protocol in Session Progress and Ringing Messages Session description protocol (SDP) in the Session Progress (183) and Ringing (180) messages must be turned off in the Tenor configuration. This configuration setting addresses an issue observed with outbound calling via the AT&T IP Flexible Reach Service. 3 Capabilities Overview The NET Quintum Tenor supports the following capabilities in conjunction with the service. 3.1 Calling Scenarios Supported Inbound Toll Free (8YY) PSTN calls to CPE termination 3.2 Codecs Supported G.729AB 8.0 Kbps (Corresponds with options for G.729a or G.729b) G Kbps G.711 Mu-law 64Kbps 3.3 Features Supported AT&T Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS) Translations AT&T Alternate Destination Routing (ADR) on Busy or Ring No Answer (RNA) AT&T Legacy Transfer Connect (Inband) Human Codec Negotiation Call Hold and Resume DTMF Relay (midcall digits) FAX over IP o CPE Fax G3 - T.38 o CPE Fax SG3 - T.38 Page 4 of 45

Note that the DNIS will always be pre-pended with 5 leading zeroes (i.e ). Other key fields are defined below: Dialed Number Information Service (DNIS) AT&T Private Number (APN; Used for Internal AT&T Toll Free routing) Calling Party Number (CPN) Parameter Location in SIP Message Example: DNIS: User part of Request URI INVITE sip: @ :5060 SIP/2.0 APN: User part of To header To: <sip: @ ;user=phone> CPN: User part of From header From: "OUT_OF_AREA"<sip: @ :5060;user=phone>; tag=dsa3ca8be7 INVITE sip: @ :5060 SIP/2.0 To: <sip: @ ;user=phone> From: "OUT_OF_AREA"<sip: @ :5060;user=phone>; tag=dsa3ca8be7 4.2 Hardware Components Page 5 of 45

6 Enterprise w/ Analog PBX PSTN PBX Firewall The customer premises equipment shall consist of the following components. Customer PBX or Key System with standard 2-wire Analog interface connections for FXO ports. Note: The Tenor AX provides a standard Centronics 50 pin male interface (50 pin / 25 pair male Amphenol connector). OR Customer Analog Phones and/or FAX machines with RJ11 interfaces. Note: The Tenor AX provides standard RJ11 interfaces. AT&T Managed Router Customer optional Firewall Quintum Technologies Tenor Analog Gateway (AX or AF). Tenor Software release P was used when conducting interoperability testing with the Service. 4.3 Tenor AX Overview The Tenor AX is a high-density VoiP (Voice over Internet Protocol) SIP/H.323 switch that compresses and packetizes voice, fax, and modem data and transmits it over the IP network. The Tenor AX gives larger businesses with analog voice infrastructure a means to use Voice over IP (VoIP). The Tenor s MultiPath architecture enables it to intelligently route calls between the FXS, FXO, and the VoIP network. The Tenor AX also routes calls over IP to reduce Page 6 of 45

7 costs, and then transparently hop off to the PSTN, to reach off-net locations. Calls can be routed in any direction between any of the ports. The unit s plug and play embedded system architecture brings VoIP technology to your network without changing your existing telephony infrastructure. The Customer s network stays as is, and the call type is transparent to the user. Figure 1 - Tenor AX Back Panel Phone/FXS port - Provides a 50 Pin Telco connector which supports up to 24 Phone/FXS connections for connecting to the analog PBX, Keyphone or phones. Line/FXO port - Provides a 50 Pin Telco connector which supports up to 24 Line/FXO connections for connection to the Central Office (connection to the PSTN). LAN port - 10/100 Base-T Ethernet port. This port provides an RJ-45 jack for individual connection to a 10/100 Ethernet LAN switch or hub via RJ-45 cable; it is individually configured with a unique IP and MAC address. The Tenor AX will support 8, 16, 24 or 48 Simultaneous VoIP Calls.

The Tenor AF gives small to medium sized businesses with analog voice infrastructure a means to use Voice over IP (VoIP). The Tenor s MultiPath architecture enables it to intelligently route calls between the FXS, FXO, and the VoIP network to achieve the best combination of cost and quality. The Tenor AF also routes calls over IP to reduce costs, and then transparently hop off to the PSTN, to reach off-net locations. Calls can be routed in any direction between any of the ports. The Tenor can be installed without upgrades to the existing voice or data network. You can install the unit in a home or office environment, without affecting the network infrastructure you already have in place. Page 8 of 45
