2.10.1 GW-IP
In this configuration the PPR-MGW provides TETRA IP Media Gateway capabilities,
which are gateway services between the IP TETRA Core Network and the following
telephone network technologies:
- ISDN networks.
- Analogical telephone network.
- VoIP networks
There two different Hw deployments for the GW-IP: there is a low cost and low
performance deployment called GW-IP low-end version and an high-cost and high
performance deployment called GW-IP high-end deployment.
The same functional decomposition can be applied to both low-end and high-end
versions.
In the following sub-section the GW-IP functional decomposition is described and than
performance characteristics are reported for both low-end and high-end GW-IP
version.
The figure shows an Application, Service and Management View for the GW-IP. The
green Sw components are those ones interested in the GW-IP node management.
All the Sw components located inside the MGW square take part in realizing the
TETRA IP Media Gateway functionalities. The yellow components are those ones
developed or modified by Selex, the other one are Open Source Sw modules
submitted to the GNU General Public License.
MN-AG
The Management Agent component provides the Management Interface to the GW-IP
Product. The Management Agent uses the TMN-CORBA interface toward both the
Local Terminal (LT) and toward the Network Management System (NMS).
The Management Agent Sw Component is able to manage the internal IP LinkTP and
all the external Link TP toward external telephone networks.
For release 6.0.2 asterisks embedded management interface can be adopted to
manage the external linkTP toward external telephone networks. Management Agent
is not required to manage the external LinkTP.
C-NS
The management information transport protocol used in the TETRA Core IP Network
is CORBA. According to CORBA protocol the management clients shall be able to
discover the management servers.
In the TETRA Core IP Network the CORBA mechanism used to provide the CORBA
management server discovery is the CORBA Name Services (C-NS).
In the TETRA Core IP Network each TETRA Complex Network Element (CNE) is
identified by a name the Network Element Identifier (NEID) and has an Agent Server
deployed that provides CNE management capabilities,
Then the NEID has been used as the entry-point for MIB of the CNE. CNE MIB can be
browsed by NMS only after the Agent Sw component has been registered its-self with
the local C-NS.
TMH
TMH, TETRA Module Handler is a Sw component used to monitor and to control the
processes and services running on the GW-IP.
TMH starts automatically at boot time and it run all configured application and
services, its main task is to control and keep available configured application and
services.
SNMPd
SNMPd provides GW-IP with an SNMPv2 interface.
It is possible to monitor Asterisk and its channel drivers status using the standard
management SNMP interface provided by Asterisk.
MGW
MGW square represents the set of customized Open Source SW components and the
developed ones that realize the TETRA IP Media Gateway capabilities.
Asterisk Asterisk is an open source telephone engine and tool kit, it interoperates
with traditional standards-based telephony systems (i.e. PSTN, ISDN, )
and supports different protocols for the handling and transmission of
voice including H.323 and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).
Asterisk provides classical PBX functionalities and advanced features like
Interactive Voice Response (IVR) and Call Conference
Asterisk provides a central switching core, with four APIs for modular
loading of telephony applications, hardware interfaces, file format
handling, and codecs. It allows for transparent switching between all
supported interfaces, allowing it to tie together a diverse mixture of
telephony systems into a single switching network.
For interconnection with digital and analog telephony equipment Asterisk
supports all the Hw devices manufactured by Digium, the Asterisk
creator, and usually all the Hw devices that provides the proper Channel
Driver to interface the Hw device with Asterisk.
Channel Drivers are SW modules dynamically loaded by Asterisk, a
DialPlan Dial planning is the activity that defines the set of rules required by a PBX
to handle and route incoming and outgoing calls. Indeed one of the main
tasks of Dial Plan SW component is to provide Asterisks with instructions
about mapping between physical channels and telephone numbers.
Dial Plan interacts with Asterisk using the AGI and AMI interfaces.
Dial Plan provides also proprietary call manager capabilities extending
typical PMR capabilities like call queuing, pre-emption and priority call
and group calls to the IP Backbone telephone infrastructure.
DialPlan is able to perform extended call manager activities only with
calls involving users defined in its database.
Each user will be identified by an U.U.T.N. (Unique Universal Telephone
Number), a set of parameters have to be configured for each user in
order to be able to identify the physical telephone line were the user can
be found and the telephone number to be used on the specified physical
channel.
If a user of the incoming call is not found in the DialPlan database then
the incoming call can be forwarded to one ore more default gw, in this
case the call will be terminated by timeout if no answer is received by any
one and in case the call is established the typical PMR services shall not
be applied.
Subscriber Web Application This Sw component using the same data model
used by Dial Plan interfaces MySQL data base to store and read the
static data model information and it provides an http interface to export
an administration web interface for dialing plan configuration.
Fig. 2.9: IP Transport Functions and Network Access & Control View
IP Transport Functions:
This functional layer includes transport functions and transport control functions.
In this view the involved TETRA GW-IP architectural/functional entities are:
GRE: GRE tunneling processing.
L2-IPT-F: L2 Ethernet switching functions.
L2-QoS: L2 Ethernet QoS functions.
L3-IPT-F: L3 IP switching functions.
L3-QoS: L3 IP QoS functions.
L3-ACL: L3 Access Control List
L3-RTG: L3 dynamic routing functions
This functional layer is mainly responsible for IP address and IP network parameters
allocation to infrastructural elements (e.g. BSs, etc.) through standard mechanisms
(e.g. DHCP, RADIUS, etc.) and to end-users through TETRA Application Function
requests.
In this view the involved GW-IP architectural/functional entities are:
DHCP-C: DHCP Client service.
DNS-C: DNS Client service (resolver).
NTP-C: NTP Client service
Web-Int
Web-Int Sw component provides an https Management Interface for the IP transport
and for the Control & Access capabilities configuration.
All the configuration data are settle down in the proper configuration files and they are
also stored in a SQLite3.
The following capabilities are supported via web management interface:
- Back-up and restore the IP transport and Control & Access capabilities
configuration.
- Restart the GW-IP.
- Troubleshooting IP transport problems.
- Collecting traffic statistics.
The Web-Interface is able to configure QoS, DHCP, DNS, GRE, ACL services
available on the PPR-MGW.
SQLite3
SQLite3 is an open source DBMS used by the Web-Int component to store the IP
transport network and the Access Control configuration information.
L3-IPT-F
L3-IPT-F provides GW-IP L3 capabilities:
- Static routing and default GW is supported.
- Virtual IP address on dual-port LAN is supported.
L3-ACL
L3-ACL component provides access control list capabilities.
Access Control List capabilities is adopted in order to provide a secure access to the
IP TETRA Core Network from VoiP Network. Access Control List capabilities are not
required if GW-IP does not provide gateway services toward VoIP networks.
L3-RTG
The L3-RTG component provides dynamic routing capabilities.
Currently dynamic routing is not required: link redundancy can be obtained using a
virtual IP addressing on the dual port lan.
GRE
If GW-IP is connected to the IP SCN Node using an external third-party transport
network (service provider, customer, etc.), its subnet MAY be different from the one
configured for the IP SCN Node. In such a case, all the incoming and outgoing IP
traffic is send end-to-end via pre-configured tunnels.
GRE specifies a protocol for encapsulating an arbitrary payload protocol over an
arbitrary delivery protocol (RFC2784). Although GRE has generic tunneling capability,
its most common use is for tunnels that carry IP and are carried by IP: IP-in-GRE-in-
IP.
GRE tunnels is statically opened between GW-IP and the IP SCN Node at startup
according to be ready for a call setup.
For release 6.0.2 of the IP TETRA Single Site Network the reference scenario is
represented by a network where all the network elements are deployed across a
unique L2 Ethernet broadcast domain. Then GRE tunneling is not required in first
release.
QoS
The IP Tetra Core Network QoS paradigm follows the QoS requirements of
Differentiated Services (DiffServ) provisioned QoS model (RFC2474, RFC2475). In
order to deliver QoS, two main capabilities are required:
packet marking
Per Hop Behaviour 1(PHB).
An heterogeneous and cross-layer (CoS, and DSCP for L2/L3) model is supported.
The GW-IP is able to mark all the outgoing IP packets according to the traffic flows
classification.
Packet marking can be performed at Layer 2 setting the CoS field and at Layer 3
setting the DSCP field or the IP-Precedence.
GW-IP provides Per-Hop-Behavior capabilities.
GW-IP provides L3 packet marking.
GW-IP provides L2 packet marking.
Packet marking for traffic flow classification is described in the following paragraphs:
- par. L3-QoS details on values to be set for L3 packet marking are reported.
- par. L2-QoS details on values to be set for L2 packet marking are reported.

4. MAINTENANCE
In order to plan and organize the maintenance activity it is necessary to divide the
maintenance environment in various levels called Maintenance Levels (ML) identifying
the system assembly level to witch the activity is referred.
Three Maintenance Levels are identified
Each level is associated to a workshop (correctly sized) with a spare part set and a
tools and equipment set. The following tables summarize ML levels.
5
For internal use only.
The tools, implements, equipment and devices meet the requirements of the relevant
European, national and international standards when these exist. Over-the-counter
purchase is to be carried out only in exceptional cases and when absolutely
necessary.
These are to be used in compliance with the instructions and/or the directives
provided by the manufacturer or supplier.
Furthermore, those required for the safe operating of electrical systems or for works
on, with or near these are to be suitable for said use, kept in conditions appropriate for
said use and used appropriately.
The tools and implements are to be kept in conditions suitable for use. This means
that regular visual checks and, if necessary, electrical tests are to be carried out
including the subsequent maintenance operations required so as to assess the
electrical integrity and mechanical properties of the implements, equipment and
devices.
Tools & Materials: This field contains a list of the equipments and tools
required to carry out periodic preventive maintenance operation.
Equivalent equipment may be used if these items are not available at the

Degradation:
Standard Support Equipment: Cotton gloves, vacuum cleaner, clean dry cloth or a brush.
Note:
Cleaning operations of the equipment must be carried out even if the equipment is installed in an air-
conditioned environment. Dust accumulated on the various components can, over time, form a layer that
reduces the efficiency of the cooling system (whether this is by natural air convection in the cabinet or by
forced ventilation with cooling fans). This causes a general increase in the operational temperature of the
equipment that, after some time, can reach a high value, thus causing the malfunction or breakdown of
some component. In order to prevent this, the equipment must be properly cleaned periodically.
Procedure:
Remove all traces of dust from air intakes, by using a vacuum cleaner a clean dry cloth or a brush if
necessary.
If you think that dust has accumulated on surface of cards located inside the rack they must be
removed.
The air filter must be periodically checked: accumulated dust can cause a partial obstruction of air
inlets causing an increase in operating temperature leading to component
malfunction or breakdown. Air filters can be removed according to the procedures
described in the related section of this section
Clean printed circuit boards or modules by using a vacuum cleaner and a brush. If there is grease or
dirt on the connector pins use a cloth (lint free) and/or brush dampened with a total
evaporation solvent for electric circuits and components.
Note:
Reference should be made to chapter - Technical Description of this handbook for information about
PPR-MGW cabling. Connection cables inside the cabinet are detailed in the Technical Handbook of the
related equipment in which the PPR-MGW is fitted in.
Procedure:
- Inspect all the internal cables to ensure that no sign of insulation deterioration is present (e.g. insulating
outer skin, and/or shielding cutting). Every cable that shows signs of damage must be replaced.
The cables replacement may cause the partial out-of-service due to the loss of the
resource, and false alarms generation during the maintenance intervention.
ATTENTION
The power cables replacement needs the PPR-MGW shut-down. This cause the Out-of-
service.
