Introduction
Interoperability between the old world TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) networks and the new world packet networks is an essential part of the technology adoption life cycle for packet networks. This release of the Cisco PGW 2200 PSTN Gateway provides the bridge between the legacy public switched telephone network (PSTN) and next-generation packet networks - supporting SS7 interconnect for dial and H.323 and SIP networks and intelligent call control and routing for media gateway control protocol (MGCP), session initiation protocol (SIP) and H.323 networks.
The Cisco PGW 2200 provides a consistent and unified interconnection that can handle dialup services, MGCP, SIP, and H.323, as well as future standards. The PGW 2200 allows service providers to deploy and operate multiple network solutions while maintaining a stable interconnection to the PSTN.
Note
The Cisco SS7 Interconnect for Voice Gateways 2.0 solution supports the transport of messages between different ISUP variants, except in specific cases where countries have developed variants outside of international standards.
Platform Support

(Chapter 1) at the following url:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/sc/rel9/swinstl/index.htm.Software Required
For a list of required software, refer to Chapter 1 of the Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Release 9 Installation and Configuration Guide at the following url:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/sc/rel9/swinstl/index.htm.Required Swap Space
For the Cisco MGC software, you need to partition 4 GB of swap space. Setting swap space at installation is recommended; however, you can change swap space at a later date by adding a swap file or repartitioning the swap space using the format menu (for example, reassigning how many cylinders are in each partition). The swap space requirement is determined by the amount of traffic. As traffic increases, you should use the top command in UNIX to see how much swap space is being used; you should then decide if more is needed. You can use the MML command rtrv-ne-health to obtain information from the UNIX top from within MML.
Host Hardware Requirements
Host Minimum Server Requirements
Refer to the Cisco Media Gateway Controller Hardware Installation Guide for the host minimum hardware requirements. Before using the minimum hardware configuration, consult with your Cisco representative to determine the hardware that will give you the best performance results based on your network configuration, proposed traffic, and desired processing power.
Media Gateway Hardware Requirements
Table 1 lists URLs for release notes that document media gateways.
Local Area Network Switch
Your application might use one or more local area network (LAN) switches from the Cisco Catalyst Switch family to connect the Cisco MGC host to the MGWs and to the Cisco SLTs.
Note
User documentation refers to the Cisco Catalyst 5500 switch family (NEBS-compliant). The Cisco Catalyst 2900 XL is another NEBS-compliant LAN switch that can be used for a small configuration, but current MGC user documentation does not address the Cisco Catalyst 2900 XL. Refer to the Cisco Catalyst 2900 XL documentation for information about this switch.
Note
A LAN switch is not provided with the Cisco MGC.
Supported Features
The features listed in Table 2 were inherited from earlier releases of the Cisco MGC Software, and are still supported in Release 9.2(2).
Cisco MGC Management
Table 3 provides an overview of the management components of the Cisco MGC.
Media Gateway Management
The Cisco IOS software installed on the media gateways provides an array of network management components (described in Table 4) designed to meet the needs of today's large, complex networks. These management features provide the following benefits:
•
Reduce network bandwidth and processing overhead
•
Offload management servers
•
Conserve resources
•
Ease system configuration tasks
Cisco's integrated management simplifies administrative procedures and shortens the time required to diagnose and fix geographically dispersed networks. Configuration services reduce the cost of installing, upgrading, and reconfiguring network equipment.
Note
CiscoView and RMON are not supported on the Cisco MGX 8260.
Cisco Signaling Link Terminal Management
The Cisco SLT is managed using session manager software. The session manager software also manages the communication sessions between the following pairs of elements:
•
Active and standby MGC hosts within an MGC node
•
An MGC node and its media gateways for PRI backhaul
•
The Cisco SLTs and the active MGC host
•
An originating MGC node and a terminating MGC node
The session manager:
•
Maintains separate communication sessions between the above pairs of elements.
•
Uses Reliable User Datagram Protocol (RUDP) to communicate between the above pairs of elements. RUDP has TCP-like functionality with real-time efficiency.
•
In a continuous service configuration, handles additional traffic should a single MGC host, LAN switch, or Cisco SLT fail —with no impact on call processing.
Switching Protocols Supported
The PGW supports multiple signaling protocols, including SS7, PRI (ANSI, ITU, and ETSI), MGCP, H323, and SIP.

http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/mgc-922
Installing and Upgrading the Software
Warning
Before upgrading from a current version of Software Release 9 to a higher level, you must verify software release version compatibility by contacting Cisco TAC (see Obtaining Technical Assistance) or your Cisco account representative. Software release version incompatibility may cause service disruption.
Warning
Before upgrading, refer to the "New Version of Times Ten Database Software" (page 96).
CautionMigration from Cisco MGC Software Release 7.4(x) to Cisco MGC Software Release 9.2(x) fails when the MML names used for the PRI backhaul IP links exceed 16 characters. Before attempting the migration, check all IP link names and ensure that they are 16 characters or less. The migration script uses the existing IP link names to create D-channel components, which are new components in Cisco MGC Software Release 9.(x). To do this, add 4 characters to the existing IP link name. If the existing IP link name is 17 characters or longer, the resultant D-channel name is longer than 20 characters and therefore invalid. (Maximum length of MML names is 20 characters in all releases.)
If you are installing software Release 9.2(2) for the first time, refer to the Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Release 9 Installation and Configuration Guide for instructions.
Note
In the Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Release 9 Installation and Configuration Guide, observe the following change: In the "Configuring SNMP Support Resources" sections, SNMP MIB measurements are valid only on the active node. They are not replicated to the standby node.
CautionWhen upgrading a redundant system, verify that the pom.dataSync parameter (located in /opt/CiscoMGC/etc/XECfgParm.dat) is set to false to maintain calls and preserve your configuration.
CautionNo validation is performed on the IDs you enter. If you enter an invalid ID, the utilities package does not add any accounts.
Note
If you have trouble installing the utilities package, make sure that you do not still have a transpath group in your group file (located in /etc).
Determining Which Protocol Patches/Families Are Installed On Your System
Complete the following procedure to determine which protocol patches are installed on your system:
Step 1
cd /opt/SW
Step 2
# ./patch status
The following is an example of the patch status command.
Currently installed protocol packages are:000130
Note
Package 00 is the base protocol software. It must always be installed on your system with any protocol version.
After obtaining a listing of protocol families that are installed on your system, use the protocol family numbers to determine what protocols are included in a package.
The following protocol families are available in Release 9.2(2):
Determining Your System's Patch Level
To determine the patch level installed on your system, use the following command:
pkginfo | grep CSCO
The following is an example of the pkginfo command.
# pkginfo | grep CSCOapplication CSCO00015 Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software core system protocolsapplication CSCO01015 Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Miscellaneous Protocolsapplication CSCO30015 Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Q761 Version1 family protocolsapplication CSCOga000 Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Licensing Componentsapplication CSCOga001 Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Applicationapplication CSCOga002 Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Database Componentsapplication CSCOga003 Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software SNMP Componentsapplication CSCOga004 Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Toolkit Applicationsapplication CSCOgc001 Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Configuration & Data Migrationapplication CSCOgs014 Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Patch Packageapplication CSCOgt001 Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Analyzer/Simulatorutilities CSCOgu000 Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Common Utilities & Librariesutilities CSCOh015 Media Gateway Controller Solaris 8 Patch ClusterIn this example output of pkginfo, protocol patch CSCOnn015 and system patch CSCOgs014 are installed. Additionally, for each protocol patch, an entry is listed for each protocol family that is installed, protocol families 00, 01, and 30 are shown here.
The entry CSCO00015 indicates that protocol patch 015 (indicated by the last three digits) has protocol family 00 (indicated by the two digits preceding the last three digits) installed. The protocol packages are shown as CSCOnnvvv where:
nn—indicates the protocol family
vvv—indicates the version level of the patch
Note
For more information on determining your patch level refer to the Protocol Patches section (page 26) of this document.
New Features in This Release
32 Digit Support in Q.761 Korean ISUP
This featurette (CSCec23340) adds 32-digit support to the Q.761 Korean ISUP.
Note
For more information, refer to ddts ticket number CSCec23340.
Note
This feature was added in patch CSCOnn037.
Seamless Upgrade
The Seamless Upgrade feature has been incorporated in release 9.3(2). To support seamless upgrade from earlier releases to 9.3(2), software changes have been installed using patches. For release 9.2(2), you must have a patch level greater than or equal to CSCOgs020.
CautionWhen upgrading the PGW 2200 platform from a patch level which does not support Seamless Upgrade to a patch level which does support seamless upgrade, the pom.dataSync parameter (located in XECfgParm.dat) must be set to false. If this parameter is not set to false, the standby system will not transition to the standby state; instead it will remain OOS.
Note
Provisioning is not supported when the system is run on mismatched patches (one PGW node has a pre-Seamless Upgrade patch level and its peer has a Seamless Upgrade supported patch).
Note
When both PGW 2200 nodes have been upgraded to a Seamless Upgrade supported patch level, normal provisioning can be done.
The following mml commands should not be used if one PGW 2200 node has a pre-Seamless Upgrade patch level and its peer has a Seamless Upgrade supported patch:
•
prov-sta
•
prov-cpy
•
prov-dply
•
prov-sync
Note
The latest version of a patch is always required. Refer to CCO to determine the latest patch version available.
Derived FCI and BCI for Interworking
This featurette (CSCeb66052) addresses the requirements for setting the Forward Call Indicators (FCI) for ISUP/R2/T1CAS/PRI <-> ISUP interworking and Backward Call Indicators (BCI) for ISUP <-> ISUP/R2/T1CAS/PRI interworking.
These requirements apply to the following ISUP variants:
•
Q761_SINGAPORE
•
Q767_SINGAPORE
•
Q761_BASE
•
Q767_BASE
The PGW derives the remote protocol from the GTD Protocol Name field, then sets the FCI and BCI accordingly.
To enable this feature, manually add the following entry to the configurable section of XECfgParm.dat, using a UNIX editor (such as vi):
*.DerivedInterworkingFCIBCIEnable = 1
0 = Feature Disabled (default value), 1 = Feature Enabled
The Echo Control Device field (in the Backward Call Indicators and Nature of Connection Indicators) is now configurable on a SigPath. The property EchoCanRequired can be configured to control this field.
Note
This featurette was added in patch CSCOnn036.
For more information, refer to the following documents:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/sc/rel9/prvgde/index.htmB-Digit Modification Enhancement
This featurette (CSCdy25786) strips the European number portability configuration (E_PORTED_NUM) output of the gateway number + the called party number (GN+CdPN) to allow the PGW to send out just the GN.
For Hong Kong local number portability (LNP), if a number is ported, a corresponding GN is appended to the CdPN in the IAM. The PGW uses E_PORTED_NUM which gives the number as GN+CdPN. An additional result type is created to allow the B-digit modification to delete the CdPN portion and send out just the GN.
In HK, there are currently 650k ported numbers, each with a unique GN. The GN length varies (2 to 12 digits long). This featurette strips E_PORTED_NUM out put of GN+CdPN from the last digit backward; since the CdPN has a fixed number of digits.
No SAM Sent in Hong Kong ISUP
This featurette (CSCdy30789) enables overlap functionality in HKTA_2202.
Allow Multiple PCIs In All Protocols
This featurette (CSCdx60152) allows multiple PCIs in all protocols. Calls that contain multiple PCIs are not rejected. The first PCI is considered and the second PCI is ignored.
NOA Cause14 32 Digit and Overdecadic for Spain/Italy/Belgium Featurette
This featurette (CSCdy32946) implements the mapping of LNP parameters on thetwo ITU protocols (ISUPV2_TELEFONICA and ISUPV2_SPANISH ITU). The parameters are:
•
1— Country specific NOA values
•
2—Cause 14 for QoR
•
3—32 and Overdecadic Digits support
NOA Cause14 32 Digit and Overdecadic for Spain/Italy/Belgium Featurette
This featurette (CSCdx61723) implements the mapping of LNP parameters on three ITU protocols (Spanish, Italian, and Belgium ISUP). The parameters are:
•
1—Country specific NOA values
•
2—Cause 14 for QoR
•
3—32 and Overdecadic Digits support (Spain requires both; Italian already supports both, and Belgium ISUP already supports Overdecadics).
BTNUP 3.1 KHz Custom Configuration
This featurette (CSCdx05822) extends the function of the existing defaultBC property to include BTNUP-based trunk groups. The property can be set to SPEECH or 3_1_KHZ. The default setting is SPEECH.
If the property is set to 3_1_KHZ, PGW converts the outgoing ISDN 3.1KHz (CAT3) call over the BTNUP TrunkGroup to ISDN speech (CAT2) call. This property has no impact on outgoing ISDN data (CAT1) and speech (CAT2) calls over the BTNUP TrunkGroup.
Software Inventory Control
This featurette (CSCdw61819) detects incompatible software versions residing on test systems in the various Cisco testing facilities. Each software release provides a file containing checksum information for all the libraries and executables being installed. The Software Inventory Control utility generates checksums on the production system then compares those checksums with the values in the installation master file. A discrepancy indicates that the software on the box does not match the software that was originally installed.
Note
This featurette does not identify the source of a problem or the correct software to install. It does indicate if a problem exists prior to the testing of incompatible software.
CautionThe Software Inventory Control feature uses a 32-bit CRC to calculate checksums. A 32-bit CRC can give over 4 billion possible CRC values (232 or 4,294,967,296). With so many CRC values it is possible for two different pieces of data to have the same CRC.
Software Inventory Control Feature Modification
The Software Inventory Control feature has been modified (CSCdy12454) to be less restrictive on the Solaris patches.
•
Patches that are installed but not in the input patch list or in the input patch list but not installed are treated as warnings—they may or may not cause problems for the MGC Software.
•
Patches that are installed but have a version number different from the version number in the input patch list are reported as errors.
•
Warning messages are only displayed if the verbose option (-v) is set.
Note
The Software Inventory Control feature requires the Solaris patch cluster version 2.0(4) or higher due to changes in the input data files.
Note
As of patch CSCOgs019, the Software Control Inventory feature has been enhanced to recognize the Netra 20 as a legitimate PGW 2200 host platform. Fore more information refer to CSCdy41805.
LNP Enhancements to Q.761_Portugal Protocol
This featurette (CSCdx21249) adds enhancements required to certify the PGW 2200 for interconnect with the PTT to the Portuguese ISUP variant in the Media Gateway Controller (MGC) code. The enhancements are:
•
Support for Overdecadic Digits—if a number is ported, the SCP provides a prefix that must be passed outbound to the PTT to allow the correct OLO to receive the call for the subscriber. The format of the prefix to send to the PTT is DXXXYYY<called party number>. The overdecadic D is sent in front of the number. As a requirement, the PGW must support all overdecadic digits (A-F) in Q761_Portugal protocol.
•
Mapping of Cause Value 14 in Portugal—switches must act on or generate external cause 14 releases to pass interconnect. The PGW must map external cause 14 releases to an internal release cause code. The PGW must support number portability when operating as an originating switch, transit switch, recipient switch, or donor switch supporting the following scenarios:
–
PGW is the Transit Switch and receives a cause 14 from a donor switch. PGW passes the cause 14 to the originating switch which performs the LNP lookup
–
PGW is the Donor Switch and after recognizing the number has been ported, generates a cause 14 and passes the cause 14 to the originating switch witch performs the destination LNP lookup.
–
PGW is the Originating Switch and receives a cause 14 from a donor switch. PGW performs the destination LNP lookup.
–
PGW is the Recipient Switch and routes the ported call.
•
Do Not Reject Calls if ACM Contains Multiple PCI (parameter compatibility indicators) Option—currently, the PGW either fails the call with a cause 95 or completes the call but sends CFN messages. The PGW cannot fail calls if the ACM contains multiple options (multiple PCI parameters). As a requirement, because the PCI is not a repeatable parameter, the PGW should act on the first PCI parameter, and ignore the subsequent parameters. This applies to all messages that contain PCI parameters.
Q767_Singapore.mdo File Created
A new .mdo file, Q767_SINGAPORE.mdo, has been created to support the Q767 Singapore IRI/ORI featurette.
Payphone Indicator From A-Number Analysis
This featurette (CSCdv42112) uses A-number analysis in the PGW 2200 to set the payphone indicator in the CPC of the IAM message. You must provision the PGW 2200 with a list of phones that are configured for payphone. The PGW 2200 handles these calls by returning an analysis result that can be used to set or not set the payphone indicator in the CPC of the IAM message. This featurette is generic for all protocols in which the CPC payphone value is 15(0F).
•
You must provision the A-digit tree with the CPCMOD result type for all payphone numbers.
•
The MML configuration of intermediate CPCMOD results in the result table is consistent with current practice. The following is an example:
NUMAN-ADD:RESULTTABLE:CUSTGRPID="T002", NAME="result45", RESULTTYPE="CPCMOD", SETNAME="cpcset1', DW1="payphone"•
If you have existing dialplan, update it with following two commands. Otherwise, create a new dialplan with following two commands.
Note
Replace xxxx by CUSTGRPID and yyyyyy by DigitString.
numan-add:resulttable:custgrpid="xxxx",resulttype="CPCMOD",dw1="payphone",setname="CPC MODset",name="CPCMODresult"numan-add:adigtree:custgrpid="xxxx",digitstring="yyyyyy",callside="originating",setnam e="CPCMODset"•
Make sure all SS7PATH requiring this feature uses the dialplan. You can assign a dialplan to a SS7PATH using following commands:
Note
Replace zzzz by SS7PATH name.
prov-ed:SS7PATH:name="zzzz",CUSTGRPID="xxxx"prov-add:sigsvcprop:name="zzzz",BOrigStartIndex="1"prov-add:sigsvcprop:name="zzzz",BTermStartIndex="2"•
Make sure all NASPATH requiring this feature uses dialplan. You can assign dialplan to a NASPATH using following commands:
Note
Replace zzzz by NASPATH name.
prov-ed:NASPATH:name="zzzz",CUSTGRPID="xxxx"prov-add:sigsvcprop:name="zzzz",BOrigStartIndex="1"prov-add:sigsvcprop:name="zzzz",BTermStartIndex="2"Country Code Prefix Per Trunk Group Capability
This featurette (CSCdv51699) allows you to route to different carriers for a given destination (on a per trunk group basis) where some carriers use an international format and other carriers use a national format. You can choose to apply or remove a country code and also optionally apply an international prefix.
This featurette introduces four new trunk groups and one new analysis result type which delivers the country code digits used for B-number manipulation. If the analysis result type is retrieved, it supplies the country code digit string that is internally stored until egress trunk group selection. During the final processing stage, the UCM checks to determine whether to prefix the called and calling party numbers with national or international prefixes (0 or 00).
German ISUP 32 Digit Support
This featurette (CSCdv54048) increases the calling and called party number to 32 digits in to the German ISUP protocol module.
Generic Transparency Descriptor Nature of Address Override
This featurette (CSCdv65542) allows the SC2200 to map the nature of address (NOA) parameter that has been modified by the route server into an outgoing IAM message.
VSC3000/SC2200 Code Reference
This featurette (CSCdv65590) renames existing code references from VSC, VSC3000, SC, and SC 2200 to a more generic MGC. These changes are applied to customer viewable area such as properties, messages, alarms, measurements and the GUI screen. Internal code references, such as variable names, will not be changed.
Automatic Backup Utility
This featurette (CSCdv70304) uses a script to backup the configuration data for the Cisco MGC software, select UNIX administrative files, and the Main Memory Database (MMDB). This script only performs full backups. It enables you to perform manual backups, schedule and administer automatic backups, and view a history of the last 30 backup operations performed.
The running of the restoration script must be done in a particular order, based on your network environment and the number of failed Cisco MGCs.
The following items should be noted:
•
If your Cisco MGC is a continuous service system, ensure that you perform backup procedures on both Cisco MGC hosts.
•
We recommend that you back up your system software during periods of low call volume to minimize the effect of the backup on your call processing.
After completing your backup, you must synchronize the databases on the active and standby Cisco MGCs. Contact TAC for assistance in synchronizing the databases.
Note
The backup script is designed to have minimal impact on the CPU. However, we recommend that the script be run at off-peak hours.
For more information on this featurette, refer to the Cisco MGC Software Release 9 Operations, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting Guide at the following url:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/sc/rel9/omts/index.htm
Protocol Packaging
This featurette (CSCdv83119) improves the protocol packaging so that you need only load and install protocols that you need. Previously, the entire protocol suite was packaged and delivered together. Delivering all protocols with each build and then each successive patch has the potential to cause usability problems because of the size of the protocol patch packages.
This featurette contains the following modifications:
•
The standard installation script was modified to allow the customer to specify which protocol set(s) are required on their platform.
•
Only packages containing the desired protocols are installed as part of the standard installation.
After this feature is applied, the same number of packages available with the initial release still exists; however, they have the new nomenclature required to support patching later in the release life cycle and you have the option to install only the packages containing required protocols.
Note
You must always download the 00 protocol package when upgrading a protocol patch level. If the 00 protocol package is not downloaded, the upgrade attempt fails. You are advised that the package is missing.
A new directory, /opt/SW, is created during the initial base software installation. You must download all new patches into this directory location. A new shell script is provided with the standard installation and is also installed in the /opt/SW directory. A new alarm, Protocol file missing, has been added.
Peruvian ISUP Timer Adjustment
This featurette (CSCdv87227) changes the T6 timer from 60 seconds to 15 seconds. This reduces the time a call circuit is held.
Thailand ISUP with Generic Transparency Descriptor
This featurette (CSCdw07501) enables you to separate billing records generated by coin boxes from billing records generated by residential phones. Billing is handled by the Radius server on the H.323 network. Records are sorted in the Radius system to separate the coin box calls and residential calls.
BT UK ISUP Enhancements
This featurette (CSCdw32368) provides enhnancements that enable you to use the PGW 2200 as an originating and terminating end node in the network. The Redirecting Number parameter has been mapped to the Last Diverting Line Identity parameter. If both the Redirecting Number parameter and the Last Diverting Line Identity parameter exist in an incoming ISUP IAM message, they are both transferred as they are. If only one of the parameters exists (either Redirecting Number Parameter or Last Diverting Line Identity Parameter) that parameter is mapped to other parameter in the OCC side. When the UK ISUP is used with other protocols and the Redirecting parameter exists, the Redirecting parameter is mapped to th e Redirecting parameter and to the Last Diverting Line Identity parameter in the TCC side.
New Version of Times Ten Database Software
Note
If you are migrating from MGC software Release 9.1(5), the requirement to migrate the Times Ten Database information was fulfilled during the 9.1(5) installation and no longer applies when you are installing this release.
Prior to uninstalling the previous release of the MGC software, you must run the following command:
/opt/TimesTen32/32/bin/ttMigrate -c DSN=howdydb /opt/CiscoMGC/etc/migrate.ttdbIf you do not run the migrate command before uninstalling the previous release, the following message displays when you install the new release:
A backup file was found for the database, but no migration file.A migration file is required before you can upgrade to the latest release of Times Ten. If the previous message displays, complete one of the following procedures.
Option 1
Step 1
Reinstall the previous release of the MGC and run the following command:
/opt/TimesTen32/32/bin/ttMigrate -c DSN=howdydb /opt/CiscoMGC/etc/migrate.ttdb
Step 2
Uninstall the previous release.
Step 3
Reinstall the software.
Option 2
Step 1
If you do not want to save the data from the previous release, remove the file:
/opt/CiscoMGC/etc/export.ttdb
Step 2
Reinstall the software.
Note
For option 1 and option 2, after upgrading the software on both machines, run the setup_replication.sh script on the standby MGC.
Change to Install Script
A new performance profile script has been added to this release. The system is automatically installed using a standard performance profile satisfactory for both nailed and switched solutions. This standard profile is a combination of the profiles where you selected to optimize the system to maximize the number of sustainable calls or to optimize the system to maximize the number of calls per second.
The profile takes effect when the MGC is restarted. A performance profile can be selected only at installation time. To change a selection, you must remove and reinstall the system. For more information on the install script, see the "Protocol Patches" section of these release notes.
Solaris 8 Revision Upgrade
This featurette (CSCdw47628) replaces the current version of Solaris 8 (released July 2001) used on the MGC and BAMS platforms with a more current release (October 2001). This upgrade was necessary to support the most recent hardware platform released by Sun (the Sunfire v120). The v120, which requires a Solaris operating system of October 2001 or later, replaces the AC/DC 200.
New Cause Code for Call Re-Attempts
This featurette (CSCeb07238) determines how calls released from the PGW when the following scenarios occur:
•
Glare on non-control circuit
•
Circuit Block after IAM before ACM
•
Circuit Reset after IAM before ACM
•
COT failure
The following entry must be manually added to the configurable parameter section of XECfgParm.dat using a UNIX editor (such as vi):
*.GlareReattemptCauseValue=44Valid values are 1-127; the default value is 44.
If the GlareReattemptCauseValue entry is not added to XECfgParm.dat and patches CSCOnn035 and CSCOgs037 are added to the system, the PGW defaults to a value of 44 for call reattempts and the original behavior of mapping to CV=44 is used.
Note
The GlareReattemptCauseValue parameter is not automatically migrated when upgrading from 9.2(2) to a later version of software. After upgrading you must manually re-add the parameter to XECfgParm.dat. After adding the parameter, the PGW must be restarted for the change to take effect.
Note
This featurette is for nailed solutions only.
Features from Release 9.2(1)T
Time Conditional Routing
This featurette (CSCuk25661) enables you to provision time and day dependencies into the route selection on the VSC. Time conditional routing allows the route lists to be selected depending on the day of the week and holidays (special days) and a time band. Time of day and type of day (Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun, Holiday (1-3), and Default) are used as keys into the time conditional rouing table; the output from the time conditional routing table is a route list. An example of a time conditional routing table is shown in Table 6.
Note
The Default entry is the default for type of day selection. It ensures that a route list can be picked up without having to provision every possible type of day into a table.
The following are guidelines on the dimensioning for time conditional routing tables:
•
You can have a maximum of 11 days per conditional routing block.
•
You can have a maximum of 5 individual route list entries per type of day.
•
The recommended maximum number of conditional routing blocks is 1000.
•
The time bands are specified using GMT with a granularity of hours and minutes.
Redirecting Number CLI Screening Within a Digit Analysis
This featurette (CSCdu67513) enables the analysis system to use the A-Digit tree for a mapping to BLACKLIST function on the Redirecting CLI value, when the property RedirectingATree is set.
Austrian ISUP V2
This featurette (CSCdv01785) modifies Swiss V2 ISUP V.2 MDO. It removes the UCIC message and create a new MDO for Telecom Austria.
Mid-Call DTMF Relay for HSI
This featurette (CSCdv11334) provides the ability to connect Cisco Call Managers to the PSTN using the VSC with the HSI adjunct as the PSTN gateway; AS5300 and AS5400 media gateways are used. The Cisco Call Manager supports out-of-band DTMF using H.245. The VSC and HSI adjunct receives the H.245 DTMF indications and forwards them to the Media Gateway for relay into the PSTN. The VSC also receives DTMF digits from the PSTN and signals them using H.245 out-of-band signaling to the Cisco Call Manager.
Dual Ethernet and 4-Link SLT Support
This featurette adds SLT support for two IP networks and two additional Session Manager sessions for Backhaul communication. These additions increase the resilience of SLT-VSC communications by supporting two RUDP sessions from each ethernet interface to each VSC.
Solaris 8 Support
This featurette replaces Solaris 2.6 operating environment with Solaris 8. The Solaris 8 operating environment introduces new features that extend its capabilities.
Protocol Patches
Patches are located in the following directory:
/auto/nssu-release/PATCHES/9.2.2/P1/CSCOxx001.pkg
The protocol packaging has been improved so that you need only load and install protocols that you need. Previously, the entire protocol suite was packaged and delivered together.
With the improved packaging protocol:
•
The standard installation script allows you to specify which protocol set(s) are required on your platform.
•
Only packages containing the desired protocols are installed as part of the standard installation.
The same number of packages available with the initial release still exists; however, they have a new nomenclature that is required to support patching later in the release life cycle and you have the option to install only the packages containing required protocols.
The protocol packages are labeled CSCOnnvvv:
nn—indicates the specific protocols you need for your environment
vvv—indicates the version level of the patch
For example, at the time of the release you are given protocol patch CSCO01000.pkg. The 01 indicates a specific protocol applicable to your environment; 000 indicates the revision level. The next time a set of protocol patches are built, the 000 is incremented by 1 (001).
Note
You must always install the 00 protocol package when upgrading a protocol patch level. If the 00 protocol package is not installed, the upgrade attempt fails. The Protocol file missing alarm displays.
Use the patch script (new shell script provided with the standard installation)located in your /opt/SW directory (created during the initial base software installation) to confirm which patch packages you need to install (using the patch status command), and then copy these packages into your local directory (/opt/SW)from the release directory where you can use the script to install the patches.
Note
For more information on using the patch status command, refer to the Determining Which Protocol Patches/Families Are Installed On Your System section of this document.
The installation script requires one of the following options:
•
Option 1—patch status retrieves the status of the system. Use this option to determine which set of protocol packages are currently installed on your system. The installed protocol packages are required (must be downloaded) to update the software. The exception is if you need a new protocol that was not previously delivered. In this case, you need to download an extra package (the package that the new protocol is delivered in).
•
Option 2—patch all automatically searches the local directory (/opt/SW) and the installed system to determine the most recent available patch and automatically updates the system with that patch level. This applies to protocol and system patches. All uninstall and install activities are handled by the script. The command for this is:patch all. The all command does not require a second argument.
•
Option 3—patch system [latest |<alternate patch number>] specifies the exact patch level for system patches you choose to install on the system. You can specify any available patch level to be installed. All uninstall and install activities are handled by this script. This option requires one of the following arguments:
–
latest —installs the most recently downloaded patch. This argument should be used with the system and protocol commands used in options 3 and 4.
–
<number> —indicates the patch number <vvv> that you want to install. This argument should be used with the system and protocol commands used in options 3 and 4.
•
Option 4—patch protocol [latest |<alternate patch number>] specifies the exact patch level for protocol patches you choose to install on the system. You can specify any available patch level to be installed. All uninstall and install activities are handled by this script. This option requires one of the following arguments:
–
latest —installs the most recently downloaded patch. This argument should be used with the system and protocol commands used in options 3 and 4.
–
<number> —indicates the patch number <vvv> that you want to install. This argument should be used with the system and protocol commands used in options 3 and 4.
The following is sample output of option 2, patch all which automatically searches the local directory and the installed system to determine the most recent available patch located in /opt/SW (protocol and system) and automatically updates the system with that patch level.

[y] [y,n,?,q]Before Installing a Patch
Before installing a patch, you must shut down the Cisco MGC application, because the affected programs are part of the running system. To ensure that the MGC application has been shut down, execute the following command:
# /etc/init.d/CiscoMGC stop
After the Cisco MGC has been shut down, verify the currently installed software load to ensure that the patch being installed is both compatible with and meant for the software currently installed. You can verify this using the following command:
# sudo pkgparam CSCOgu000
After shutting down the Cisco MGC and verifying the software load, you can proceed with the installation.
System Level Equivalency
Table 7 provides the system level equivalency for each protocol patch. For example, after installing CSCOnn003, release 9.2(2) is equivalent to release 9.1(5) patch level CSCOgp014 (contains all patches and features included in release 9.1(5) up to patch CSCOgp014).
Table 8 provides the system level equivalency for each system patch. For example, after installing CSCOgs003, release 9.2(2) is equivalent to release 9.1(5) patch level CSCOgs009 (contains all patches and features included in release 9.1(5) up to patch CSCOgs009).
Patch Test Combinations
Table 9 provides a list of the patch combinations that were used when testing. Use this list to determine which protocol and system patches should be installed before you run the MGC software. It does not matter which patch (protocol or software) is installed first.

CSCeb66052—Derived FCI and BCI for Interworking featurette—this featurette addresses the requirements for setting the Forward Call Indicators (FCI) for ISUP/R2/T1CAS/PRI <-> ISUP interworking and Backward Call Indicators (BCI) for ISUP <-> ISUP/R2/T1CAS/PRI interworking.
These requirements apply to the following ISUP variants:
–
Q761_SINGAPORE
–
Q767_SINGAPORE
–
Q761_BASE
–
Q767_BASE
The PGW derives the remote protocol from the GTD Protocol Name field, then sets the FCI and BCI accordingly.
To enable this feature, manually add the following entry to the configurable section of XECfgParm.dat, using a UNIX editor (such as vi):
*.DerivedInterworkingFCIBCIEnable = 1
0 = Feature Disabled (default value), 1 = Feature Enabled

CSCdy25786—B-Digit Modification Enhancement—This featurette (CSCdy25786) strips the European number portability configuration (E_PORTED_NUM) output of the gateway number + the called party number (GN+CdPN) to allow the PGW to send out just the GN.
For Hong Kong local number portability (LNP), if a number is ported, a corresponding GN is appended to the CdPN in the IAM. The PGW uses E_PORTED_NUM which gives the number as GN+CdPN. An additional result type is created to allow the B-digit modification to delete the CdPN portion and send out just the GN.
In HK, there are currently 650k ported numbers, each with a unique GN. The GN length varies (2 to 12 digits long). This featurette strips E_PORTED_NUM out put of GN+CdPN from the last digit backward; since the CdPN has a fixed number of digits.

CSCdx21249—LNP Enhancements to Q.761_Portugal Protocol—This featurette defines enhancements to the Portuguese ISUP variant in the Media Gateway Controller (MGC) code. The enhancements are required to certify the PGW 2200, working with an Ericsson SCP, for interconnect with the PTT. The enhancements are:
–
Support for Overdecadic Digits—if a number is ported, the SCP provides a prefix that must be passed outbound to the PTT to allow the correct OLO to receive the call for the subscriber. The format of the prefix to send to the PTT is DXXXYYY<called party number>. The overdecadic D is sent in front of the number. As a requirement, the PGW must support all overdecadic digits (A-F) in Q761_Portugal protocol.
–
Mapping of Cause Value 14 in Portugal—switches must act on or generate external cause 14 releases to pass interconnect. The PGW must map external cause 14 releases to an internal release cause code. The PGW must support number portability when operating as an originating switch, transit switch, recipient switch, or donor switch supporting the following scenarios:
•
PGW is the Transit Switch and receives a cause 14 from a donor switch. PGW passes the cause 14 to the originating switch which performs the LNP lookup
•
PGW is the Donor Switch and after recognizing the number has been ported, generates a cause 14 and passes the cause 14 to the originating switch witch performs the destination LNP lookup.
•
PGW is the Originating Switch and receives a cause 14 from a donor switch. PGW performs the destination LNP lookup.
•
PGW is the Recipient Switch and routes the "ported" call.
–
Do Not Reject Calls if ACM Contains Multiple PCI (parameter compatibility indicators) Option—currently, the PGW either fails the call with a cause 95 or completes the call but sends CFN messages. The PGW cannot fail calls if the ACM contains multiple options (multiple PCI parameters). As a requirement, because the PCI is not a repeatable parameter, the PGW should act on the first PCI parameter, and ignore the subsequent parameters. This applies to all messages that contain PCI parameters.

CSCdy56160—Invalid conditional routing names allowed in 9.2(2) causing migrate problems—In previous 9.2(2) releases, conditional routing name validation did not occur. Therefore, the potential that invalid conditional routing names were created exists.
As of patch CSCOgs021, conditional routing name validation occurs in release 9.2(2). Previously existing configurations should be checked to ensure that invalid names are not used. Conditional routing names should consist of 1-20 alphanumeric characters. If your conditional routing name is invalid, the routeAnalysis.dat file must be edited. Contact TAC so that the engineering team can be notified to have your information modified.
If an invalid conditional routing name is used in release 9.2(2) and you attempt to upgrade to a newer release (9.3(2) and higher), the migration will fail because the validation of the conditional route name fails.

CSCdw61819—Software Inventory Control—this featurette detects incompatible software versions residing on test systems in the various Cisco testing facilities. Each software release provides a file containing checksum information for all the libraries and executables being installed. The Software Inventory Control utility generates checksums on the production system then compares those checksums with the values in the installation master file. A discrepancy indicates that the software on the box does not match the software that was originally installed.
This featurette does not identify the source of a problem or the correct software to install. It does indicate if a problem exists prior to the testing of incompatible software.

Known Issues and Operational Recommendations
This section contains information about known issues and the corresponding workarounds in the
Cisco MGC software release 9.2(2).
Note
For more information about Cisco IOS issues and workarounds, see the Cisco IOS release notes for your platform.
Installation Patch Tool Removes Packages Before Checking to See If The System Is Down
When adding a new protocol patch to the system, the patch installation tool removes the current protocol patch, then checks to see if the system is running. If the system has not been stopped, it stops the tool, but does not add the current patch back on the system.
If you add a new protocol patch before stopping the system, you must then stop the system and then add the protocol patch to the system again.
Note
For more information, refer to DDTS ticket number CSCec15748.
Using prov-cpy/prov-sync To Commit Configuration Changes on a Fault-Tolerant System
When using the prov-cpy/prov-sync combination to commit configuration changes on a fault-tolerant system the standby might not fully synchronize with the active which results in the second switchover failing. The following non-service affecting workarounds can be used if this problem occurs:
•
Use prov-dply, instead of the prov-cpy/prov-sync combination to commit each phase of provisioning on a fault-tolerant system. The prov-dply command ensures that both sides are completely synchronized.
•
After using the prov-cpy/prov-sync combination to commit configuration changes, stop and restart the standby. Restarting the standby resynchronizes all states correctly.
Note
For more information refer to DDTS number CSCdw63484.
Do Not Use TimesTen Commands in PGW
PGW scripts should be used
Incorrect use of commands might result in database corruption.
TimesTen PGW scripts are located at:
/opt/CiscoMGC/local 3.
If a command is needed for which a script does not exist, you should open a ticket requesting a new script for that command.
Note
For more information, refer to DDTS ticket number CSCdz78019.
Modifying the OPC of an SS7 Route
When prov-ed is used to modify the OPC of an SS7ROUTE or SS7PATH, the PGW software must be stopped and restarted before changes take affect. Stopping and restarting the system results in a service-affecting outage. To make a change without stopping and restarting the PGW, complete the following procedure:
Step 1
Start a provisioning session on the active machine.
Step 2
Use prov-dlt to remove the following components:
•
SS7ROUTE,
•
all associated trunks to the SS7PATH
•
SS7PATH
•
DPC
Step 3
Execute the prov-dply command.
Step 4
Start a second provisioning session on the active machine.
Step 5
Use prov-add to add the following components:
•
DPC
•
SS7PATH
•
all associated trunks to the SS7PATH
•
SS7ROUTE (with the new OPC and linkset changes)
Step 6
Execute the prov-dply command.
Migration of Dialplans Failed From 7.4(x) to 9.2(x)
The software upgrade from 7.4(x) to 9.3(x) involves upgrading the operating system (OS) from Solaris 2.6 to Solaris 2.8. The configuration and TimesTen databases are saved before the OS upgrade and then migrated to 9.3(x) as part of 9.3(x) installation. During migration the following error message is issued and the system does not come up in the standby state.
Migration dialplan file:0102.dialPlan:Error message: error reading from /opt/CiscoMGC/etc/CONFIG_LIB/tmp_migrate_8.0//digitAnalysis.datError code: 5001Error migrating dialPlanIf you receive this error during migration, refer to the Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Release 9 Installation and Configuration Guide, Chapter 5, Upgrading to Cisco MGC Software Release 9.3(2), at the following url:

Note
For more information refer to CSCdz30575.
CPU Timer Interval Is Not Disabled If CPUTimerInterval Parameter Is Set To 0
The XECfgParm.dat CPUTimerInterval parameter is not disabled when its value is set to 0.
Do Not Use the ifconfig UNIX Commands to Shut Down Ethernet Interfaces
During a failover on the master SC where both ethernet connections are lost, the failover correctly switches to the slave SC. However, after the ethernet connections are restored on the master, the slave SC does not return to standby mode.
Workaround:
Step 1
With the slave in Active mode, execute (as root) on the the Master:
/etc/init.d/CiscoMGC stopStep 2
After the SC software has stopped, restart it using the following command:
/etc/init.d/CiscoMGC startStep 3
To verify that the SC has entered the Standby state, return to MML and execute the following command:
rtrv-ne
Note
The ifconfig UNIX commands should not be used to administratively down the ethernet interfaces while the MGC software is running. For more information on this issue, refer to CSCdy59730.
Conditional Routing Name Validation
In previous 9.2(2) releases, conditional routing name validation did not occur. Therefore, the potential that invalid conditional routing names were created exists.
As of patch CSCOgs021, conditional routing name validation occurs in release 9.2(2). Previously existing configurations should be checked to ensure that invalid names are not used. Conditional routing names should consist of 1-20 alphanumeric characters. If your conditional routing name is invalid, the routeAnalysis.dat file must be edited. Contact TAC so that the engineering team can be notified to have your information modified.
CautionIf an invalid conditional routing name is used in release 9.2(2) and you attempt to upgrade to a newer release (9.3(2) and higher), the migration will fail because the validation of the conditional route name fails.
Note
For more information on this issue, refer to CSCdy56160 and CSCdy58664.
Network Redundancy Between Dual Homed PGW and Single Homed NAS
The MGC provisioning rules have been modified to provide local redundancy on the PGW. You can now configure two IP addresses on the MGW (two ethernet interfaces on the SC side) to one IP address on a NAS. If one ethernet fails, the other ethernet can carry the traffic.
To support this configuration, the following modifications were made:
•
Provisioning—modified to allow you to configure sigChans with mutliple IP routes to the same destination.
•
IOCM—allows you to switchover to other IP routes if the primary route becomes unavailable.
•
IOCC—uses the remote IP address, port, and file descriptor to determine which sigChan a PDU belongs to.
Only one of the two IP routes assigned to the same destination and NETMASK is in the Solaris routing table at a time. If both interfaces are in-service, the I/O Channel Manger selects one of the two IP routes. If the ethernet interface associated with the IP route that is in the Solaris routing table fails, the I/O Channel Manager deletes that IP route from the Solaris routing table and puts the other IP route assigned to the same destination and NETMASK in the Solaris routing table. The original IP route is not restored when the ethernet interface associated with it recovers. The new IP route remains in the Solaris routing table unless the interface associated with it fails.
The following alarms are associated with this feature:
•
IP RTE FAIL— generated against an IPLNK or IPSESSION that is provisioned with a next hop address if the system fails to add the required route. This could be due to an invalid or conflicting parameter.
•
IP CONF RTE FAIL—generated when an IPLNK or IPSESSION is not using the route that it is configured to use. A conflicting route generated by another signal channel or by another process can cause this.
LIF FAIL—set by the I/O Channel Manager if it determines that the ethernet interface used by the IPSESSON or IPLNK object is not operational. It is cleared when the ethernet interface becomes operational. When set, the LIF FAIL alarm is accompanied by a log message of type GEN_ERR_IPINTF_FAIL that includes the provisioning name and operating system name of the interface that has failed. When cleared, the LIF FAIL alarm is accompanied by a log message of type GEN_INFO_IPINTF_RECOV that also includes the provisioning name and the operating system name of the interface.
An example of a provisioning name is IP_Addr1. An example of a operating system name is hme0. The error message also contains the cause of the failure. A cause of Link Down indicates that the interface has lost carrier. This can be caused by removing the cable or a failure at the ethernet switch. A cause of Admin Down indicates that the interface was taken down using the unix command ifconfig <interface name> down.
Note
This configuration is supported in Cisco MGC Software Release 9.2(2) with system patch CSCOgs014 and protocol patch CSCOnn015 or later.
Suppress CLIDigits Parameter Cannot Be Provisioned on EISUP Trunk1
To prevent sending CLI digits to soft-phone applications that might ignore the CLI restriction indication and display the calling number the following workaround can be used:
Step 1
Start a new provisioning session.
Step 2
In the prov-link directory, edit the file propSet.dat file.
Step 3
Add a line after the last EISUP property name, for example:
xxxx EISUP * SuppressCLIDigits 0 2 1 0where xxxx is the number before the last EISUP property incremented by 1.
Step 4
Use the prov-ed command to set the SuppressCLIDigits value of the EISUP signaling path to 1.
Step 5
Deploy the configuration.
Switchover Might Take Five to Ten Minutes After Bringing Hme Interfaces Down
(CSCdx17509) When the ip links are bounced, but are in a current up state, the standby PGW has a rtrv-ne status of standby, NOT OOS. After attempting an MML>sw-over::confirm on the active unit, an MSO Refused, Warm Start-up in Progress error displays. This problem clears itself after 5 to 10 minutes.
Note
This issue is resolved by applying CSCOgs010 or later system patches.
