Overview GeoCENTREX

1 Introduction
CENTREX stands for CENTRal office EXchange service. GeoCENTREX is the product
name for the CENTREX services of EWSD. The GeoCENTREX system provides a virtual private branch exchange (PBX) in EWSD. Existing PBX can be integrated. This permits the range and functionality of the existing telecommunications system to be
expanded. GeoCENTREX is not only limited to one location, but also enables supply to
widely dispersed groups (business groups) and the working of PBX.
GeoCENTREX Features and Functions are described in the following.
What advantages do you have as a GeoCENTREX provider?
The advantage of GeoCENTREX is the system flexibility is greater than in PBX: both the
number of GeoCENTREX subscribers and the subscriber-related features can be
adapted with efficiency and ease to the current requirements of your customers. The
subscribers are combined to form so-called GeoCENTREX groups. In contrast to a
PBX, these subscribers can be situated in different locations while still being able to benefit from common services such as the uniform private directory numbering plan, switching functions or administrative functions.
Features installed for public subscribers or PBX lines can also be used with GeoCENTREX.
Group features available to all subscribers in a local GeoCENTREX group have only
to be installed once per local group.
Other advantages of GeoCENTREX for the network node provider are increased revenues from the expanded range of services, greater exploitation of existing switching
equipment and acquisition of new customer groups.
What advantages does the customer have as a GeoCENTREX user?
GeoCENTREX offers your customers many advantages since the GeoCENTREX system derives its wide range of communication services direct from the network node.
The GeoCENTREX concept allows the customer to combine subscribers into a group
according to the customers own interests and/or the interests of the group members
without being restricted by the location of those subscribers. The customer can assign
specific group features and subscriber-individual features to the group members. It is
also possible to restrict individual service usage.

The advantages of the GeoCENTREX system

Cost effectiveness
The main advantage of GeoCENTREX is its cost effectiveness. With GeoCENTREX,
your customer does not have to purchase expensive switching equipment and have it
serviced. The features are provided in the public network node. Thus no large financial
investments are necessary for the customer. GeoCENTREX eliminates most of the
costs of a privately operated PBX system. As a pure software solution in the network
node, it takes up no space, needs no power supply, no related backup systems and,
best of all, no special operating environment. With GeoCENTREX, your customers can
invest in expanding their businesses instead of spending their money on the acquisition
and maintenance of a traditional telecommunication system.
High reliability
GeoCENTREX provides your customers with the highest level of reliability because it is
supplied directly from the EWSD network node. End network nodes are fully redundant
and equipped with backup systems should a power failure occur. The reliability of GeoCENTREX is particularly important for those companies whose telecommunications
systems are the main link to their customers.
No risk of obsolescence
GeoCENTREX gives your company the best of todays technology, together with the option of the new services of the future. As soon as new features are developed, they are
available to your customers without the necessity of buying new equipment. GeoCENTREX protects your customers telecommunications systems from technological obsolescence.

Service by network provider operator


EWSD, the digital switching system on which GeoCENTREX is based, is supervised 24
hours a day by optimally trained technicians. Your customers are able to save considerably on the costs of maintaining their communications systems, and can concentrate
better on their businesses.
Flexibility and adaptation to customer requirements
GeoCENTREX features can be individually customized for every subscriber in a company. Your customer pays only for the lines and features he or she requires. Since requirements are different for every subscriber, features can be added or changed with
simple service jobs. If employees often have to move around from one company location
to another, they will very quickly be convinced of the advantages of the flexible GeoCENTREX system.
Comprehensive range of services
GeoCENTREX offers a broad range of services (over 250) which help your customers
staff to work more efficiently and reduce communications costs.
Almost unlimited add-on possibilities
When a Centrex group expands, GeoCENTREX can easily be adapted to new requirements. The configuration capacity is restricted only by the size of the network node.
Many companies are subject to seasonal fluctuation and have to increase or decrease
their line capacity. GeoCENTREX is an excellent alternative for customers who cannot
exactly plan their growth in turnover and particularly do not want to be restricted by hardware capacity.
Cost-effective options for companies with more than one location
Where a company occupies several buildings in different locations, it can be economically interconnected and administered with GeoCENTREX, particularly if all locations
are served by EWSD switching systems. Whether in branch offices or head offices, staff
can access the same features everywhere. With the help of the common private directory numbering plan staff in branch offices also feel fully integrated. All locations can
easily communicate with each other without having to rent expensive dedicated lines.
Who are your customers?
Customer who work in conjunction with each other can be combined in a GeoCENTREX
group. Not only large groups of employees such as in public authorities, universities,
hospitals, industry, service providers and hotels benefit from GeoCENTREX, but also
specialist groups such as doctors who are spread over a wide area and have to consult
one another on a regular basis, architects and any small groups of people who need to
maintain close and problem-free contact. Each GeoCENTREX group can be individually
equipped with all the GeoCENTREX features and functions required by your customers.

GeoCENTREX - components

GeoCENTREX is implemented as software in EWSD. GeoCENTREX subscribers are


organized and administered in GeoCENTREX groups adhering to the GeoCENTREX
concept. The structure of these groups is described in Chapter Group Features.
GeoCENTREX customers can have their own unique directory numbering plans for setting up calls within the group. In addition to the public telephone network features (subscriber features), GeoCENTREX also provides PBX-station features. The generic term
for all features and functions is GeoCENTREX functions.
The GeoCENTREX system comprises the following GeoCENTREX functions:

group have to be assigned. To each of these GeoCENTREX directory numbers, different GeoCENTREX features such as Call Forwarding or Do not Disturb can be assigned. For example, if do not disturb has been activated for a directory number, the
second directory number, for which do not disturb was not activated, can still receive
calls. For incoming calls, the GeoCENTREX subscriber can distinguish between the
multiple subscriber numbers by their different ringing tones.
For more information please refer to Feature Description

4.1.2

Customer access treatment code (CATCODE)


GeoCENTREX offers the facility of providing GeoCENTREX-specific features which require an access code to individual subscribers with authorization.
The authorizations which can be provided are, (see Feature Description):

To avoid having to authorize each subscriber feature individually, authorization for each
individual feature can be combined into a customer access treatment code (CATCODE).
A CATCODE corresponds to a set of features. Assignment of the CATCODE entitles the
subscriber to full usage of the features which are incorporated in this CATCODE. As illustrated in Fig. 4.2 CATCODE 1 includes the following features: dial through attendant,
night service call pick up, selection of carrier access code and directed call pick up.
You can define up to
32 CATCODEs at GeoCENTREX group level
31 standard CATCODEs within the network node
If the CATCODE of the subscriber is not defined within the GeoCENTREX group, the
corresponding CATCODE on network node level is valid.

4.1.4

Priority (PRIO)
The feature makes it possible to carry out prioritized connection setups for specific subscribers. For this purpose the search for an idle trunk or an idle channel and the path
selection in the switching network are automatically repeated if (from the point of view
of the exchange) outgoing trunk groups are busy.
For more information please refer to Feature Description.

4.1.5

Emergency calls
A GeoCENTREX subscriber whose line is blocked for calls to destinations outside the
GeoCENTREX group can nevertheless make emergency calls with this feature to public
emergency services (police, fire service, etc., see also GeoCENTREX specific call restrictions).
For more information please refer to Feature Description.

4.1.6

Terminal portability (TP)


The feature allows a user to move a terminal from one socket to another within one given
ISDN basic access while a call is active.
For more information please refer to Feature Description.

4.1.7

Directory number portability (DNP)


A GeoCENTREX subscriber can use the Directory number portability (DNP) feature just
like a public telephone subscriber.
The overall conditions of the public telephone network apply to the GeoCENTREX subscriber as to the public telephone subscriber.
If a GeoCENTREX subscriber moves from one network node to another, then the intercom number is changed in the old network node from local to a remote intercom number,
and in the new network node from remote to local. Since the directory numbering plan
of the GeoCENTREX group should be consistent in both network nodes, no further adaptations are necessary. But if the subscriber changes to a network node to which no
members of the GeoCENTREX group have yet been connected, the GeoCENTREX
group has to be defined for this network node.
In all other network nodes to which parts of this GeoCENTREX group are connected,
the possibility must be considered that the directory number now connects to a new destination.

4.1.8

Personal identification number (PIN)


The system administration can be defined for each GeoCENTREX group whether a personal identification number is required for each subscriber controlled feature code (e. g.
PIN is required for activation of call forwarding busy but not for deactivation of call forwarding busy).
When a keyword protected feature is assigned by the network operator to an line the
user has to modify the keyword before he uses it the first time. The new keyword has to
be different from the old one. A trivial keyword consisting of the same four digits, e.g.
"6666" is rejected.

Information
GeoCENTREX

Distinctive ringing
This Different ringing tones allows subscribers to distinguish between calls from the public network and those from members of the same GeoCENTREX group (intercom calls)
by means of different ringing cadences. An intercom ringing tone is also applied for calls
between GeoCENTREX subscribers identified as associated on the basis of the business group identification number. Calls from members of other GeoCENTREX (business) groups are treated as external calls. On ISDN lines, it depends on the capabilities
of the terminal as to whether it can recognize the different ringing tones.
The different ringing tone feature is able for:
Calls within the GeoCENTREX group, business group, subbusiness group
Calls from the public network
Forwarded calls
CCBS/CCNR calls
public operator calls
Calls to different multiple subscriber numbers for ISDN subscriber lines (e.g., private
numbers)

4.7.5

Parallel Ringing (PRNG)


The Parallel ringing feature is of interest to subscribers who have two lines and always
want to be reachable at both lines. The lines can be, for example, a fixed subscriber line
and a mobile telephone. When this feature is active, every call attempt to the fixed subscriber line is automatically routed in parallel to the mobile telephone. The subscriber
can accept the call at either line. The call is connected to the line at which the subscriber
first goes off hook.
For more information please refer to Feature Description.

4.7.6

Message waiting indication (MWI)


Once a message has been received by the voice mail system an indication shall be given to the diverting subscriber. An audible indication is given by a special MWI dial tone.
Additionally the subscriber can get a visual indication on the display. For ISDN subscribers this indication is transmitted to the transit network node once the subscriber goes off
hook. Analog subscribers can get the visual indication while they are on hook using the
Frequence Shift Key (FSK) method.
The transmission of the message waiting indication to the diverting subscriber is implemented similar to the remote subscriber controlled input. The voice mail system calls a
special remote service number in the home exchange of the served subscriber. The service point returns a second dialtone to the VMS. Then the VMS sends the mailbox number (identical to the directory number) of the served subscriber. Thereafter the VMS
transmits the service code for activation or deactivation of the MWI and optional the
number of waiting messages. The service point sends a confirmation tone and the VMS
releases the connection.

Malicious Call Identification (MCI)


The Malicious Call Identification feature provides the possibility to identify and register
malicious, nuisance or obscene calls. The feature is assigned after request by the subscriber.
Due to the same feature control for MCT and multi party features both features cannot
be used in parallel. MCT takes priority, i.e. if MCT is subscribed, the multi party features
Call Waiting (CW), Explicite Call Transfer (ECT), Call Hold (CH) and Three Party
Conference (TPC) are blocked.
For more information please refer to Feature Description.

4.10.3

Manager Secretary Team Function


The Manager Secretary Team Function feature can be used to combine up to 16
GeoCENTREX subscribers into a Manager Secretary Team group.
Within a Manager Secretary Team group (MASET group)
a Secretary access line can be assigned to up to 15 Manager access lines
a Secretary can have a Deputy.
Up to 4096 MASET groups can be set up in one network node.
Status lamps on all the terminals (special ISDN terminals) in this type of MASET group
indicate the call processing status of each directory number in the group (idle, busy, ringing, park, etc.), if they are configured in the terminal.
For more information please refer to Feature Description.

4.10.4

Teleworking
Using the Teleworking feature, a GeoCENTREX subscriber (teleworker) is able to deal
with incoming and outgoing communications while he is working away from his company. The teleworker can be contacted via the public directory number of his business telephone and, by applying the appropriate settings in the private exchange, via the
companys internal directory. The public directory number of the business telephone is

displayed on the external callers telephone. Private calls can be distinguished from
business calls by using the MSN feature.
In the case of more than one GeoCENTREX group, the teleworker is able to log onto
different directory numbers (MSN) which are assigned to different GeoCENTREX
groups. With this arrangement, the teleworker is able to work for more than one company (customer), either one after another or simultaneously (refer to Access configurations).
In the LOGOFF state, the subscriber can usually be contacted in his company as a PBX
subscriber, GeoCENTREX subscriber or via the mailbox.

5 GeoCENTREX Attendant
GeoCENTREX attendant features facilitate the definition of attendants with operator
functions in a GeoCENTREX group.
The task of the GeoCENTREX attendant is to assist the subscriber during the call setup
and/or provide the subscriber with a range of features for call setup and during the call.
These tasks comprise the following:
Accept incoming calls from the public switched telephone network to the GeoCENTREX group and transfer them to a subscriber of the GeoCENTREX group.
Accept calls from a subscriber of the GeoCENTREX group and assist the subscriber
to make calls to the public switched telephone network.
Further process unsuccessful call attempts (e.g., call attempts to inactive lines).
Accept calls from a subscriber of the GeoCENTREX group which have been forwarded to the attendant station.
Receive on a GeoCENTREX attendant station (multifunctional attendant console)
call specifications from subscribers so that the communication costs of the GeoCENTREX group can be correctly assigned and administered.
Receive call charging information (MDR).
Receive on a GeoCENTREX attendant station (multifunctional attendant console)
traffic data of the GeoCENTREX group for formatting, display and printing on the
multifunctional attendant console.
Provide telephone information services (corresponding to the local database on the
multifunctional attendant console)
Administer specific data of the local GeoCENTREX group (Multifunctional attendant
console).
The GeoCENTREX attendant services are performed in the GeoCENTREX-specific
switching and management software units of the CP and GP in EWSD. They are used
by the basic stations and the multifunctional attendant consoles (special multifunctional
attendant console features).

6 Networking Functions
The telecommunication company must ensure that unambiguous business group identification numbers are employed throughout its network.
The functionality of this feature depends on the capability for netwide transport via ISUP
for
business group identification parameters,
parameters for transparently transported QSIG features
CENTREX application transport parameter
also via non-GeoCENTREX EWSD exchanges, EWSD exchanges and other vendors'
exchanges.
The following network functions are described in this chapter:
Network Structure
Netwide Feature Transparency
Feature Interworking to PBXs via QSIG
In contrast to a PBX, GeoCENTREX groups can be defined independently of their location.

6.1

Network Structure
The networking functions are as follows:
Local GeoCENTREX
Extended area GeoCENTREX
Netwide GeoCENTREX
Netwide GeoCENTREX via IN

6.1.1

Local GeoCENTREX
Local GeoCENTREX means GeoCENTREX groups restricted to one location (all lines
of the group are connected to the same node). This corresponds to the range of a PBX.

6.1.2

Extended area GeoCENTREX


The range of an EWSD network node and such a GeoCENTREX group can be considerably extended by using DLU as Remote Digital Line Units (RDLU).
Although, for the sake of simplicity, the term local GeoCENTREX group is used in this
document, this term also includes extended area GeoCENTREX. The simplified term
merely expresses the fact that the GeoCENTREX group is confined to one network
node.

6.1.3

Netwide GeoCENTREX
Netwide GeoCENTREX is a service which can combine subscribers of multiple GeoCENTREX groups who are distributed over various network nodes of a public switched
telephone network into a GeoCENTREX business group.

6.1.4

Information
GeoCENTREX

Netwide GeoCENTREX via IN


Netwide GeoCENTREX takes advantage of centralized IN services for remote intercom
number translation into network routable destinations numbers or for calling name delivery service for the called subscriber.
It is possible to permit the revaluation of the internal directory number into a public directory number (E.164) only for remote internal calls.

following elements:
Business Group Parameter Field (ANSI Standard)
Business group identification
Subbusiness group identification
GeoCENTREX station restrictions
Attendant identification

Interworking of Siemens GeoCENTREX with the CENTREX implementation of other
producers is not a part of this document.

6.3

Feature Interworking to PBXs via QSIG


For a subset of QSIG standard an extended feature interworking between GeoCENTREX main connections and subscribers of a PBX system can be done.
Two advantages result:
Interworking is also possible with PBX systems which have a QSIG instead of a
DSS1 connection
Expanded feature interworking is possible because the QSIG connection has features which are not provided for in the DSS1 protocol.
Feature interworking between GeoCENTREX subscribers and subscribers of a PBX
system based on QSIG depends on the complexity of implementing the QSIG interface
in the PBX system. The features that are possible depend on each individual case.
The pre-condition is that signaling is done via ISUP+ (ISUP V2).
QSIG feature interworking
If both participants of a connection are QSIG terminals, unrestricted feature handling
can be attained by transparent transmission of the feature data. However, as soon as a

A30828-X1150-C100-1-7618

41

Overview GeoCENTREX

Information
GeoCENTREX

GeoCENTREX subscriber and a QSIG terminal set up a call, an interworking must be


carried out. This means that the exchange must know the QSIG feature and carry out a
procedural and protocol-related adaptation. For example, the name of the QSIG definition must be transformed into the DSS1 definition
QSIG interworking is currently performed for the following:
Subscriber name display
For calls between a GeoCENTREX subscriber at the network node and a PBX subscriber of the same GeoCENTREX (business) group, GeoCENTREX supports the
transmission of subscriber names:
Calling name identification presentation (CNIP)
Calling name identification restriction (CNIR)
Connected name identification presentation (CONP)
Call forwarding
For calls between two subscribers of the same GeoCENTREX (business) group
connected to different PBXs, the participating network nodes must be fully transparent with respect to the feature data transmitted with QSIG.
Dial call waiting
Dial call waiting is possible via QSIG, in a PBX within a local GeoCENTREX group
or the netwide business group.
Call waiting, originating
Explicite call transfer (ECT)
Call completion to busy subscriber (CCBS)
Call completion on no reply (CCNR)
Remote subscriber controlled input (for call forwarding)

7 Feature control options


Some features can be controlled with dial pulsing or DTMF for analog subscriber lines.
ISDN subscribers can control the GeoCENTREX features via keypad and/or functional
protocol according to the DSS1 protocol for ISDN subscriber lines, even if their subscriber access line does not have authorization for using the stimulus protocol. However, it
is not possible to use the public features with keypad procedures and by dialing the network access code.
Non-GeoCENTREX subscriber lines cannot use these features in this version.
In the subscriber procedure for features which are provided in the public telephone network also for non-GeoCENTREX subscriber lines, there may be differences in controlling the features, resulting from the GeoCENTREX numbering plan. If features of the
public telephone network are available with a GeoCENTREX-specific version, only
these features can be used; the procedures of the public telephone network are not
available.

Security for network wide O&M administration of


GeoCENTREX business groups
For a central administration of network wide GeoCENTREX business groups, special
operator permissions are necessary to guarantee that only defined operators of the telecom company (with a special keyword) are allowed to administer these business
groups.
In the following picture, business group A can be administered only by operator X and
business group B only by operator Y, even in the same switch (defined by the square).
Even the local operator is also not allowed to administer both groups.

9 Netwide GeoCENTREX Features


Restricted to features for which additional information exchange is required via ISUP.
To guarantee netwide feature transparency, new information must be transmitted via the
ISUP. The APP (Application Transport Parameter) is used for this purpose. A parameter
value (Application Context Identifier) in the APP specifies whether the parameter contents are to be interpreted as CTX information (CTX-APP, identifier=64) or as QSIG information (QSIG-APP, identifier=1). The CTX-APP is used if the calling side is a
GeoCENTREX subscriber (not MLHG). The QSIG-APP is used if the calling side is a
PBX. Conversions may be necessary.
Possible conversions:
Calling side is QSIG PBX, called side is QSIG PBX:
No conversion in EWSD
Calling side is QSIG PBX, called side is CTX subscriber:
Conversion of QSIG-APP to DSS1 / analog.
Calling side is QSIG PBX, called side is irrelevant
If the PBX supports the QSIG protocol, it sends the QSIG-APP.
An additional CTX-APP is used for version transmission.
Calling side is CTX subscriber, called side is QSIG PBX:
Conversion of CTX-APP to QSIG-APP
Calling side is CTX subscriber, called side is CTX subscriber:
Conversion of CTX-APP to DSS1 / analog
CTX-APP and QSIG-APP may occur together in an ISUP message.
