6 C-DOT MAX-NG
BRIEF OVERVIEW AND MIGRATION PLAN
In each circle two sites will be migrated by BEL / ECIL teams with the help of C-
DOT,therefore, total 48 SDCAs of 24 circles are planned to be migrated by BEL & ECIL
with the help of C-DOT.
In C-DOT MAX-NG Helpline portal, BSNL circle user will approve SDCA username.
Through portal, SDCA concerned person will create Username and Password and Circle
User will approve same. After this , SDCA user will enter SDCA specific details regarding
Number of RSUs, Number of co-located BMs, No. of AN-RAXs , Number of PRI , etc .
Then SDCA user will inform Circle User. Circle User will enter Start IP Address of
concerned SDCA and list of IPs i.e. LAN IP and WAN IP of concerned SDCA.IPs will be
automatically through portal itself. User can Download or give print through options
available in portal itself. You can also save Excel Sheet in PC/Laptop itself.
Circle level BSNL teams designated for further conversions of sites in their respective
circles will be provided hands-on training in the corresponding two sites of the circles.
Each exchange will take around 7 to 8 days for migration including pre-retrofit activity,
migration to MAXNG and AT of the site.
The migration strategy has been planned in such a manner so as to minimize the actual
system downtime.
The data of sites to be migrated will be created offline in advance at core sites in softswitch
& rater.
The downtime will be from 90 to 120 minutes on an average for each BM. During
migration downtime will be there for BM being migrated only. Other BM’s will continue to
work in normal manner. Thus a total partial downtime of a complete MBM will vary
depending on the number of BM’s working and depending on the BM’s being converted
parallel or sequentially subject to availability of trained manpower for migration.
First of all, for preparation of NGTJ cards as per the site configuration test LAGU setup
will be prepared in CACU chassis in vacant space with one ATU frame. Check all TIC IDs
i.e. tic01-0, tic01-1, tic05-0, tic05-1, tic09-0, tic09-1, tic13-0, tic13-1 with NGTJ card and
dialtone after execution of bulk script by Core Administrator. This will be done for each
RSU site in 2-slot chassis installed in identified spare BM in which CACU chassis will be
installed. Before proceeding for migration, take printout of TIC IDs and PIC ID of working
exchange.
For this login into IOP of concerned exchange using Username admn and Password
CDOTadmn. Type crp and press enter.
Enter following command to check status of working TIC IDs and PIC ID in MAX
Exchange.
#displ-sys-all
For hardware retrofit in each LINE BM and RSU’s, choose BMs which have unique levels
to be retrofitted first and after this plan rest of the BMs to be retrofitted.
During migration, the BM’s migrated to LAGU will be able to make outgoing calls only as
incoming route will be activated after complete site migration. So incoming calls to BM
converted to LAGU will be activated only after all BM’s of the site are migrated.
Site In-charge and Migration team will intimate GM of respective site before proceeding
for Migration.
Site In charge should fill data in prescribed Data template. Verification and
Correction of data must be done by circle nodal team. Vetted data should be provided
to core team at T-1 day where T is the date of actual migration.
Routing and data creation should be done in Class 5 & Class 4 Softswitch in core network at T-1
day.
Approximate time for BM retrofit will be around 2 to 2.5 hours. Outgoing calls will work
immediately after BM migration. Incoming calls will not be possible until calls
from the IPTAX are diverted to MAX-NG core.
It was decided earlier that CDR support for POI will be provided in next release,
hence as discussed with GM, NCNGN, POIs will work with existing DSS MAX.
IOP, required trunk BMs and CM will remain working as it is. The alternate solution is
that these POIs can be shifted to another switch so that DSS MAX can be switched off
to take advantage of power saving.
Tested and working spare cards (TUI, TIC, SPC, TSI, PSU, and LCC) should be available at
site at the time of migration. Spare SCIC card can be used as TIC card.
Before Migration, lst files should be generated by Core In-charge/Administrator and at the
same time, Thin Client PC installed in MBM site should be accessible. Core Administrator
will run scripts both for access and core at T-1 day before actual migration. After execution
of scripts, please check file sizes, number of subscribers. File sizes will be checked by ls –ls
8 C-DOT MAX-NG
BRIEF OVERVIEW AND MIGRATION PLAN
Before proceeding for actual migration at RSU sites, Take Medical Emergency Kits and
some food supplements.
After creation of MAX- NG data in Core and Access network, core incharge will run audit
utilities which will verify MAX and MAX-NG data then only Core Administrator will send
output files by ftp to Thin Client at /home/cdot and /root location. Now, Core
Administrator will intimate access Administrator / Site In-charge / Migration Team that
data is ready for retrofit telephonically or by E-Mail. Now Access in-charge will
acknowledge same.
At Core Site, before creation of core data take backups of each node SBC, C5, C4, Rater,
NGEMS, LAGEMS.
Note: Backups at core site of respective elements i.e. C5, C4, Rater, SBC, NGEMS,
LAGEMS must be taken before site migration
Following point must be kept in mind during MAX-NG migration activity and are as
follows:
iii) Please fill Site Survey Sheet and Checklist as per attached document in which all details
related to BMs,RSU,AN-RAXs and POIs, etc. are required. The S.No. can be checked in
INDEX.
iv) For connecting MAX-NG access network to Core network, WAN (definition given below)
interfaces are required to be defined and created in IP/MPLS network. Accordingly,
please send attached WAN IP and LAN IP to concerned teams for configuration of
specific site planned for migration.
Definitions:
i) A wide area network (WAN) is a geographically distributed private
telecommunications network that interconnects multiple local area networks
(LANs). Multiple LAN networks can be connected through routers in
Telecommunication networks.
ii) A local area network (LAN) is a network that connects computers and other devices
in a relatively small area, typically a single building or a group of buildings.
Most LANs connect workstations and personal computers and enable users to
access data and devices (e.g., printers and modems) anywhere on the network.
iii) A virtual LAN (VLAN) is any broadcast domain that is partitioned and isolated in a
computer network at the data link layer (OSI (Open System Interconnections)
layer 2). ... VLANs allow network administrators to group hosts together even if
the hosts are not on the same network switch.
iv) The Open Systems Interconnection model (OSI model) is a conceptual model that
characterizes and standardizes the communication functions of a
telecommunication or computing system without regard to their underlying
internal structure and technology. ... The original version of the model defined
seven layers.
v) VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) Tagging is the practice of inserting a VLAN ID
into a packet header in order to identify which VLAN the packet belongs to.
More specifically, switches use the VLAN ID to determine which port(s), or
interface(s), to send a broadcast packet to. Tagging (Switching) is a flexible and
efficient network communication mechanism used to transmit Internet Protocol
(IP) traffic over a telecommunications network.
vi) Switches create a network. Routers connect networks. A router links computers to
the Internet, so users can share the connection.
vii) The main purpose of a virtual network is to enable a data center or service provider
network to provision the most suitable and efficient networking structure for the
applications it hosts – and to alter that structure as conditions warrant, using
software rather than requiring physical changes in connections to hardware.
10 C-DOT MAX-NG
BRIEF OVERVIEW AND MIGRATION PLAN
to the next based on short path labels rather than long network addresses, avoiding
complex lookups in a routing table.
vi) As per PAN INDIA IP planning, WAN IPs & LAN IPs have been already planned.LAGU
& CACU Systems are required to be configured and allowed in IP/MPLS network with
unique WAN IP and LAN IP for specific site planned for migration.
vii) Check connectivity to core network such as C5, SBC and C4 from access network for
example Thin Client PC.
Command to check connectivity:
# ping <IP Address of C5 Softswitch>
# ping <IP Address of SBC>
# ping < IP Address of C4>
Softswitch IP of corresponding core site may be 10.187.0.15 for Gurugram Core Site, 10.187.1.15
for Chandigarh Core Site, etc.SBC IP of corresponding core site may be 10.187.0.12 for
Gurugram Site, 10.187.1.12 for Chandigarh Site.
If core site is not connecting, for reachability of core site traceroute command is used.
#traceroute <IP Address of core node>
#traceroute <IP Address of Class 5 Softswitch>
Note: IP Address may be 10.187.0.12 for SBC, 10.187.0.15 for C5 Softswitch for Gurugram
Core Site.
g) Matrix for Call Testing post migration which is available on google drive link
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1axpE7Pl8skghg6gNVZyLuas2-MrW7sdo
ix) As per document at S.No. 5, Template has to be filled by ITPC (IT Project Circle) which
takes approximately 3-4 days and need to be verified by Exchange Incharge and same
will be sent to respective circle teams for migration activity. In case of any
discrepancies, incharge will communicate same to ITPC and nodal team.
x) Please follow Installation and configuration documents of LAGU & CACU System.
xi) Note: Exchange person will take ED & BD backup before actual migration and keep it in
safe custody.
xii) After preparation and installation of CACU and LAGU System, a sample call is tested
from access network to different PSTN and Mobile networks as per Matrix attached in
mail. Make a sample call from SIP phone connected to CACU system and PSTN phone
connected to each LAGU System (Co-located & Remotely located Unit).
xiii) Site Monitoring for 2 to 3 days.

xix) Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a type of data-carrying technique for high-
performance telecommunications networks. MPLS directs data from one network node
to the next based on short path labels rather than long network addresses, avoiding
complex lookups in a routing table.
xx) As per PAN INDIA IP planning, WAN IPs & LAN IPs have been already planned.LAGU
& CACU Systems are required to be configured and allowed in IP/MPLS network with
unique WAN IP and LAN IP for specific site planned for migration.
xxi) Types of SFP connectors are SC, LC, FC type and wavelength of 1310nm and
1550nm. At both sides C-DOT MLS side and Transmission end, both SFP connectors
should be of same make and same Wavelength.
xxii) Follow data retrofit steps given in Appendix-O for Data retrofit steps using LAG CLI.
xxiv) Before starting activity, please go through procedure already approved by Director,
CFA, BSNL.
xxv) Please follow Installation and configuration documents of LAGU & CACU System.
xxvi) Note: Exchange person will take ED & BD backup before actual migration and keep
it in safe custody.
xxvii) After preparation and installation of CACU and LAGU System, a sample call is
tested from access network to different PSTN and Mobile networks as per Matrix
attached in mail. Make a sample call from SIP phone connected to CACU system and
PSTN phone connected to each LAGU System (Co-located & Remotely located Unit).
xxviii) Site Monitoring for 2 to 3 days.

LAGs for support of duplex mode. A total of seven IP addresses are required
for each LAGU as follows:
a) 1 physical IP for each LAG card.
b) 1 IP for each DSP interface in both the LAGs.
c) 1 Floating IP for the LAGU.
d) 1 fixed IP each for Mate eth1 link communication between 2 LAGs.
e) Total IPs addresses per LAGU : 7 (2+2+1+2)
Total IP Address required for each SDCA = 2+ 24 + 7* (No. of LAGU)
3.3. PHYSICAL INSTALLATION OF CACU SYSTEM
Watch CACU & LAGU installation video before proceeding further.
Find a spare BM in which CACU System is to be installed and do the following activities:-
1. Switch OFF the power of the rack.
2. Remove all TT, TB and power cables.
3. Remove all filter boxes.
4. Unscrew and remove all frames of rack.
5. Now install new filter box for Copy 0 and Copy 1 at each side of bus bar.
6. For physical installation of CACU chassis, a fixture needs to be installed. The
fixture will be installed at 2nd and 3rd TU positions in identified BM, which will be
required to hold the CACU chassis in vertical direction.
7. Install the CACU chassis in this vacant space. Put CACU chassis in the fixture,
now place this frame support assembly and screw it properly.
8. At top of the MAX-NG BM i.e. at first TU position, put a card cage without
backplane of any spare frame. This will be used to mount DDF TAG block for
termination of E1/PCMs being used in the MAX-NG system from TDM TAX, Remote BMs
and AN-RAXs.
9. PCM cables are delivered with CACU chassis for termination of E1’s used for
V5/PRI/SS7/RSU interfacing to new MAX-NG hardware.
10. After verifying -48V DC connect power cable for copy-0 and copy-1 of CACU chassis to
newly installed filter box and make sure that power cables are connected properly.
NOTE: The existing E1s from the AN-RAXs, IP-TAX, PRI, RSUs etc. are currently
routed to the Trunk BM or VU BM or Central Module (CM) of the exchange. Now
we need to identify these E1s at the Cable entry point and during the migration, re-
route E1s to this newly installed TAG block. Make sure that the length of E1 cables
is sufficient to reroute them to the TAG block during migration. From TAG Block,
these E1 cables are to be extended through a PCM cable to the respective connectors
at the back plane of CACU that is 3C, 4C, 5C and 6C.
Slot 3C and 4C are for the termination of TAX/POI E1s, AN-RAX E1s and PRI E1s
to the NGTJ card depending upon which application(SG/MG/V5AG/PRIAG) is
installed in the NGTJ card. Slot 5C and 6C are for the termination of RSU E1s to
EBM card as per the requirement.
3.4. NETWORK RELATED CONFIGURATION AND TESTING
i. Jack in all cards in respective slot of CACU chassis which are delivered at site.
ii. Connect Thin Client to MLS card and assign IP address to thin Client if not
configured.
For assigning the IP address to thin client do the following:
Go to setting
Address
this site
iii. MLS cards are powered on by itself, when jacked-in the CACU Chassis.
iv. Access MLS cards through minicom and configure IP in MLS card.
Note: Refer MLS installation document for the same. (Chapter-5 & Chapter-6)
v. Connect one end of optical patch cord to either 21 or 22 port (Uplink ports) at front
face plate of MLS card and connect another end to configured Uplink port for connectivity
to IP/MPLS and MAX-NG respective core network.
vi. Configure MLS card for Uplink connectivity to MPLS.
vii. Configuration at BSNL MPLS end is also required. This has to be done at-least 15
days before actual migration by MPLS NOC.
viii. After configuration, bidirectional connectivity between respective Access site and
core site shall be tested by Pinging the TEST-IP of the MAX-NG core site. For IP addresses
of core network, please refer IP address list of corresponding Zone and corresponding site.
ix. Ensure reachability by pinging IP address of IPTAX, SSTP, CDR and MAX-NG
core network.
Now open terminal in Thin Client, check connectivity and reachability of MAX-NG
core network. Following is the command:-
# ping 10.187.1.12 (where 10.187.1.12 is the IP of SBC in MAX-NG
Chandigarh core network)
Following print will appear if the connectivity is through.

There will be two test numbers created in softswitch for testing purpose only. Make
sure that two numbers are created in core softswitch for Call testing. Connect
configured SIP phone with MLS cards and subscribers will be registered in core
softswitch.
xiv. Make a call from configured SIP phone to core site to test speech and signaling.
One test Number is already created and available at the core site of that ZONE
which can be called to check the speech quality.
xv. Make all types of calls i.e. Local, STD and PSTN/PLMN networks.
The routing data for each SDCA will be created in Class 4 softswitch therefore
PSTN/PLMN network must be reachable and call should be successful.

11. All prepared NGTJ cards have to be installed in the specific BM for which these
cards are prepared.
12. After migration, the PCM’s from RSU’s and TAX need to be diverted to the TAG
block installed in the MAX-NG BM itself.
13. Before migration some of the PCM’s from TAX can be diverted to TAG block and
for PCM connectivity of RSUs, PCM cable can be laid from the Exchange’s DDF to
the TAG block of CACU system.
Please note that existing MBM will be working with CM in normal manner till complete
migration of site to minimize downtime.

PHYSICAL INSTALLATION OF LAGU SYSTEM
LCC card slot B, Tab3 and Tab4. These TSI power cables, for copy-0 and copy-1
should be connected to different ATU’s to provide redundancy to the TSI cards.
In this power cable, red is 5 Volts DC and it can vary between 5 to 7 volts. The black
cable is Digital ground and the yellow cable is -12 Volts which can vary from -10 to -
15 Volts.
Before connecting these TSI power cables at LAGU mother Board, power-ON the
ATU’s and verify the voltages at the connector through multimeter. The voltage
must be as per the specified range. In case you are not getting the desired voltage
the connectors should be tried in different LCC slot. After verifying these voltages,
we will connect these TSI power cables at LAGU motherboard in the given
positions.
13. In case of local connectivity through serial cable we will connect client PC / Thin
client through the minicom cable i.e. RS232 cable. This serial cable has to be
connected in this position, for copy-0 of LAG card and for copy-1 this cable will be
connected here.
14. The LAG converts the TDM voice samples to IP based VoIP packets. These IP
packets are then uplinked towards Main LAN switch of MBM site through Ethernet
cable in case of collocated BM. The Ethernet cables will be connected here at eth1
port of LAG -0 and in this position for copy-1 card of LAG. If both the copies of
LAG are inserted, then this Ethernet cable can be connected in any of these ports.
In case of RSU’s it may be possible that the transport medium is E-1. In that case
the existing PCM cable of RSU can be directly connected at tab-1 position of 3A and
4A connectors. The Ethernet cable for uplink is not required in that case. But if the
RSU has STM connectivity then eth cable can be used for unlinking in the same way
as it is done in Co-located BM.
15. Now insert the NGTJ cards in the given slots corresponding to copy-0 and copy-1
and similarly the TSI cards are inserted in their respective slots. The NGTJ card
here are working as a Line Access Gateway. Line Access Gateway converts Time
Division Multiplexed voice sample to Voice Packets. These NGTJ card will be
delivered to site with pre-installed software, root file system, configuration and
system data etc. as per site specific requirement. The pre-configured data is stored
in the storage device of NGTJ card i.e. Micro SD card. .
16. Now after the cards are inserted Switch-ON the power of all the ATU's and
LAGU. The prints in the minicom terminal will appear showing the booting
sequence and then wait for the LAG to come UP.
17. During first time installation of LAGU unit, TIC cards will be brought in service
one by one at each RSU site through CLI only.
18. When the LAG comes up make intra LAG, PSTN & PLMN calls and verify that
proper CDR’s are being made in soft switch.
19. If CDR’s are not proper or calls are not through then either fix the problems or
revert back the LAGU to BM as a fall-back option. In this scenario call the CDOT
helpline for assistance before going for fall-back option.
20. When all LAGU’s of the exchange comes up then power off the CM and now create
incoming routes in IPTAX corresponding to these LAGU’s so that incoming calls
are also through.
21. Make inter Lag, intra LAG, PSTN & PLMN calls and verify that proper CDR’s are
being made in soft switch.
22. Now the installer can test all tests mentioned in AT schedule of LAGU,CACU-1and
CACU-2(if applicable to that site) and if all test are working then the site can can be
offered for AT. If some test are failing then fix the tests before offering it to AT

1.2 INTRODUCTION
During the migration of MAX system to MAXNG the most important point
is the reachability of the access site to the core network. Each access site is
allocated an IP pool of 64, 128 or 256 IPs depending upon the capacity of
the MAX system. This pool of IP is referred as LAN IP pool. Similarly,
three WAN IP pools of 4 IPs in redundant mode are allocated to each site
for creation of interfaces between access site and MPLS network. These
interfaces are created in redundant mode. For getting accessibility
between MAX-NG access node and core network, information pertaining
to WAN IPs need to be shared with the administrator of the MAX
exchange at least 15 days before migration so that the configuration at the
BSNL’s MPLS PE router can be done. The information consists of the IP
pool for LAN and WAN interfaces, VLAN numbers,interface IPs to be
configured at BSNL PE router end etc. Three VLANs, IPTAX, SSTP and
CDOT-VOIP are created at both BSNL PE router and CDOT MLS card.
Each VLAN is provided an unique VRF-ID. A unique LAN IP pool is
given to each SDCA which is required for the configuration of all the access
gateways which will be installed at access site in each BM/RBMs and in
CACU chassis. This IP pool is required to be publish at PE router for all
the three VRFs.

end. For creation of the IP interfaces from the left pane select
Configuration IP, a window will open showing the VLAN 1 configuration
(fig-5) which is the native VLAN for the subnet allocated to that site.
Now as per the example mentioned in the section above , at BSNL MPLS
end interfaces are created at two different PE routers for redundancy. At
a cisco routers interfaces created using WAN IP pools 10.189.107.40/30,
10.189.107.44/30 and 10.189.107.48/30. One interface is for IPTAX VLAN
(VLAN ID=2900) and IP given to this interface is 10.189.107.42 at BSNL
end. Similarly SSTP VLAN and CDOT-VOIP VLANS are created with
VLAN ID 2901 and 2902 and IPs 10.189.107.46 and 10.189.107.50
respectively.
For redundant interfaces the IP pools are 10.189.107.52/30,
10.189.107.56/30 and 10.189.107.60/30 used at Huawai router VLAN
created are 2700, 2701 and 2702 for IPTAX, SSTP and CDOT-VOIP
VLANs and the interface IPs are 10.189.107.54, 10.189.107.58 and
10.189.107.62.
Similar interfaces need to be created at MAX-NG node also. An interface
towards cisco PE router need to be created at MLS1 and towards huawai
router the interface will be created from MLS2. With respect to Huawai
router at MLS2 , VLANs 2700, 2701 and 2702 will be created with the
interface IPs 10.189.107.53, 10.189.107.57 and 10.189.107.61 respectively as
shown in fig-6. For creating interfaces click on “add interface” and enter
48 C-DOT MAX-NG
C-DOT MAX-NG NETWORK CONNECTIVITY & VLAN CREATION IN MLS CARD
the VLAN id, Ip address and mask length. After the interfaces are added,
create IP routes. Create a default route with network 0.0.0.0 mask length
0, the default gateway for this default route will be the interface IP of
IPTAX VLAN. This indicates that any network IP other than the specified
network will be routed towards IPTAX VLAN as it may be the address
belonging to media IP of IPTAX. Similarly a network 10.187.0.0/24, is a
pool allocated to MAX-NG and will be routed towards CDOT-VOIP
VLAN and the gateway IP will be 10.189.107.60 which is an IP address
forCDOT-VOIP interface created at Huawai PE router, refer fig-7. Select
mode as “router” from the drop down and click to “save” button once
interfaces and routes are added.
From the left pane select Spanning tree Bridge setting and do the STP
bridge configuration as shown in fig-8
Now from the left pane click on VLANs Configuration a window will
open showing Global VLAN configuration. Here all the ports of MLS are
visible with their mode and Port VLAN as shown in fig-9

It is also to be noted that against the field “allowed access VLAN” all the
VLANs number to be given see fig-10.
In the face plate of MLS card two optical ports 21 and 22 are available
which are used for uplink connectivity. An SFP of 1310 or 1550 nm
wavelength can be used in these ports depending the SFP type available at
BSNL end. An optical patch cord is used for the connectivity of MLS and
PE router. The “Mode” of the port 21 or 22 which is being used for uplink
is to be set as Trunk port as shown in fig-11.
Fig-11
On selecting the required port as Trunk all the VLANs 1-4095 will be
allowed and Egress port setting wiil be by default set as Untag Port VLAN
now save the setting from the button given below. After all the
configuration is done, in the left pane select Configuration save

(MLS Card MAC and IP Address Entry)
MAC ADDRESS ALLOCATIONS IN MLS CARD (with 3.65 static layer-3 version)
The MLS card requires one MAC address for the system itself (CPU) and one for each of the front
ports. The front port SMACs are needed for PAUSE frame generation. So, in total 24 MAC
addresses get allocated to each MLS card. We have to reserve a pool of 24 MAC addresses for
each MLS card but need to enter only the first MAC address of the pool as per the below
mentioned steps. The rest of 23 MAC addresses get internally allocated upon entry of the first
MAC for CPU.
NOTE: This procedure is required to be executed only if pool of 24 MAC addresses have not been
already allocated to each MLS card (with steps as mentioned as below to enter only the first MAC
of the 24 MAC pool).
Steps for MAC address allocation:
1. Connect minicom
b) The VLAN1 will be created at both MLS cards which is the native VLAN for the LAN IP pool
subnet allocated to that site.
For MLS-1 card VLAN1, configure the Gateway-1 IP as 10.187.35.4 with mask length as 24.
For MLS-2 card VLAN1, configure the Gateway-2 IP as 10.187.35.7 with mask length as 24.
The following Steps to be performed using a serial interface/minicom, unless a default VLAN1 IP
address is already assigned.
1. Ensure that the thin-client has been configured as per the details given in the Appendix-I.
Connect Minicom Cable from C-DOT MLS-1 card to Thin Client/Client PC/ Laptop.
2. Launch Minicom Application in Thin Client/PC/Laptop as a root user.
# minicom
3. Assign an IP address to the VLAN 1 (default) of the C-DOT MLS-1 card as :
#configure terminal
#interface vlan 1
(ip address <ip address of VLAN 1> <netmask>)
#ip address 10.187.35.4 255.255.255.0
#exit
# copy running-config startup–config
# show ip interface brief
(This command will show the ip address which has been configured).

Firmware update through GUI of MLS card:
1) Login to MLS through ‘admin’ login from the thin client machine with the MLS Application
software CEServices3_65-MLSSD1_SW002.dat loaded.
2) Ensure that the network configuration data is saved (MaintenanceConfiguration Save startup-
config)
3) From Maintenance-> Software -> Upload page, Firmware of the card can be updated.
Browse the PC location for the firmware in CEServices3_65-MLSSD1_SW002.dat format. Click
‘upload’ button. After the software image is uploaded, a page announces that the firmware
update is initiated. After about a minute, the firmware is updated and the switch restarts.
Warning: While the firmware is being updated, Web access appears to be defunct. The front LED
flashes Green/Off with a frequency of 10Hz while the firmware update is in progress. Do not
restart or power off the device at this time or the switch may fail to function afterwards.
Appendix-D
(MLS Card WAN IP CONFIGURATIONs)
NOTE: For exact details, please refer the MLS IP configuration document.
WAN IP POOL:
Suppose an access site is allocated with:
a) For uplink through MLS-1, WAN IP pools are 10.189.107.40/30, 10.189.107.44/30 and
10.189.107.48/30.
b) For redundant uplink through MLS-2 interface, the WAN IP pools are 10.189.107.52/30,
10.189.107.56/30 and 10.189.107.60/30.
These WAN IPs are required to create interfaces between different VLANs. These VLANs are
IPTAX, SSTP and CDOT-VOIP VLAN with unique VRF ID and required to be created at both
the end (MLS and MPLS Router)
Once the IP of the MLS is set, it can be accessed through internet browser and rest of the configuration
can be done through GUI interface of the MLS, as follows:
1) Create interfaces for other VLANs (IPTAX, SSTP and CDOT-VOIP) for uplink from MLS-1 and
MLS-2 cards.
2) After the interfaces are added, create IP routes. Create a default route with network 0.0.0.0 with
mask length 0, the default gateway for this default route will be the interface IP of IPTAX VLAN.
This indicates that any network IP other than the specified network will be routed towards IPTAX
VLAN as it may be the address belonging to media IP of IPTAX.
3) In the face plate of MLS card two optical ports 21 and 22 are available which are used for uplink
connectivity. An SFP of 1310 or 1550 nm wavelength can be used in these ports depending upon the
SFP type available at BSNL end. An optical patch cord is used for the connectivity of MLS and PE
router. The “Mode” of the port 21 or 22 which is being used for uplink is to be set as Trunk port.
4) On selecting the required port as Trunk all the VLANs 1-4095 will be allowed and Egress port
setting will be by default set as Untag Port VLAN.
5) From the left pane select Spanning tree Bridge setting and do the STP bridge configuration with
Protocol as RSTP.
6) After all the configurations is done, in the left pane select Configuration Save startup config to
save the configuration.
7) After the configuration is done, one should be able to ping the core network from MLS and behind
MLS i.e. from LAGU, thin client etc.

Appendix-E
(UBOOT and DTB files Loading over NGTJ Card)
This new uboot file (NGTJ.u-boot.bin.VER53) is being loaded on the LAGU NGTJ cards because till
the latest uboot releases, EEB modules on the NGTJ cards came up as soon as the card booted, thus
potentially caused network looping when the LAGU was connected to the EBM card of CACU using the
PCM/E1 links. The new release of uboot (version 53) disables the EEB module of the NGTJ card on
boot time and is enabled only by the LAG application.
The new DTB file (NGTJ.dtb.VER53) takes care of the issue of an unhandled interrupt crashing kernel as
soon as NAND flash was accessed through net file.
For NGTJ card ver AE3 for LAGU, revised UBOOT file VER53 is required to be loaded.
For NGTJ card ver SE3 or AE3 being used for CACU, revised DTB file VER53 is required to be
loaded.
The Uboot and DTB installation and setup procedure for the LAGU is as follows:
1) Connect the LAGU chassis with the power supply and turn on the power.
2) Connect the minicom cable to one of the RS-232 ports of the LAGU chassis.

C-DOT MAX-NG NETWORK CONNECTIVITY & VLAN CREATION IN MLS CARD
3) Make sure that the application tftpserver is installed and running on the PC/thinclient which is to be
used for further operations. Note that the Thin Client is loaded and configured for TFTP server as
mentioned in the Appendix-I (step-I)
4) Connect an ethernet cable from the ThinClient/PC to the LAGU chassis at any of the ethernet ports.
5) Ensure that the step-I for the Thin Client is done already for the TFTP server configuration and
copying the NGTJ.u-boot.bin.VER53 and NGTJ.dtb.VER53 driver files at the path
/var/lib/tftpboot/
6) Use the ‘cksum’ command at the path /var/lib/tftpboot/ of the Thin Client to ensure the above
mentioned checksums for uboot and dtb files.
# cksum /var/lib/tftpboot/NGTJ*VER53
7) Else, Copy the file named NGTJ.u-boot.bin.VER53 and NGTJ.dtb.VER53 to the path /tftpboot on
the PC configured for TFTP server.
8) On the ThinClient/PC, open the minicom application using the command 'minicom -s' to access the
serial port interface and set baud rate to 115200, no flow control as serial port parameters. After
applying the above settings, save then as default and exit to go to the minicom application.
9) Now, jack-in the NGTJ card in that slot to which minicom has been connected in step-2 and press
the reset button.
10) In the minicom terminal window, see if the print ''Autoboot in 6 seconds. Hit 'a' to stop from
Autoboot'' appears, then press the 'a' key to stop the booting so that NGTJ card comes in the uboot
prompt. The uboot prompt as => should appear. If the uboot prompt could not be stopped, press the
reset button on the NGTJ card and try again.
a) Ensure the IP address of the PC mentioned above is set as the serverip in u-boot command
prompt. To set it use the command:
=> setenv serverip <serverip/IP address of the tftp server ThinClient/PC>.
e.g. => setenv serverip 10.187.1.5
b) Set the IP address of the NGTJ for loading uboot as an IP address that is reachable from the
c) Set the netmask of the NGTJ card in the uboot as 255.255.255.0, using the command:
=> setenv netmask 255.255.255.0
e.g. => setenv netmask 255.255.255.0
d) Set the gateway IP address of the NGTJ cards as that of the PC itself. The command is:
=>setenv gatewayip <IP address of the PC>
e.g. => setenv gatewayip 10.187.1.5

(Automated Installations for CACU Application Release/Patch)
PREREQUISITES:
1) The application release CEServices3_65-MLSSD1_SW002.dat should be loaded on both the MLS
cards of the CACU.
2) The dtb file for the NGTJ card should be loaded on the SE3 or AE3 NGTJ card to be used in the
CACU.
3) The CACU deliverables described in the Appendix-F, part 2 should be copied to a directory on the
thin-client/PC from where application release installation has to be done on the CACU cards.
4) A detailed list of IP addresses to be allocated to the cards of CAU should be present as described in
the Appendix - A.
5) The thin-client should have been configured and readied according to the Appendix-I.
6) Connect an RS-232/minicom cable to the thin-client at one end and with the minicom serial port
behind each card slot one by one to assign IP addresses to the cards.
7) Log-in to the cards via the minicom using the username “root” and password “root”. The process to
assign IP addresses to the every type of CACU cards is described as follows:
For MLS card IP settings; set the VLAN1 (native default VLAN) IP address. See
Appendix-B for reference.
For CACU NGTJ card (SE3 version) IP settings; eth0 port is used
Note: In case the CACU NGTJ card is not accessible from minicom, login to the NGTJ card
from the Thin /Client using “ssh root@<NGTJcard-IP-Address>” (with the default IP
address allocated to the card by the manufacturer). Before this step, the Thin Client should
also be set with the default IP subnet of the NGTJ card, so that the NGTJ card can be
accessed from the Thin Client machine. And after changing the IP of the NGTJ SE3 card
for the site IP, the Thin Client IP should be reverted to the site wise IP for the thin client.

Once the above is ensured, proceed with the actual installation of the application software release as
given below.
1) Switch to the root user on the thin-client/PC (to be used for further installation process), if not
already using the command ‘su - root’.
2) Now connect the thin-client with any free Ethernet port (RJ-45) available on the MLS-1 card at the
7th slot of the CACU chassis.
3) Assign an IP address to the thin-client (or PC) using the IP address available at the site as detailed in
the Appendix I (steps 7 onwards).
4) On the thin-client/PC for installation, go to the path where CACU application release deliverables
have been copied using the command:
#cd /home/Ubuntu/CACU-SOURCE
#chmod +x *sh
6) Execute the script using the command:
#./PATCH10-Over-SLML1_1_1.5_1-install_cacu_cards-NGTJ-INSTALL.sh
7) When the script is run for the first time on a particular thin-client/PC, the script will initiate the
unzipping of the release/patch files locally to arrange them in a structure as required during the
installation on the cards.
8) Once the unzipping is complete, the script asks for the Type of CACU system. For MAX-NG, it

The updated NTP server IP is 10.187.4.12
Enter the Periodicity to sync with NTP server (in seconds)
Enter Periodicity for syncing with NTP Server, Default will be 600
(Value will be in seconds)
900
The Updated NTP periodicity (in seconds) is 900
Note: The above IP address, ports, system name etc are just an indicative example and the actual entries
must be entered according to the field data.
10) Now the user is displayed the values that have been entered so far and is asked whether these values
have to be changed (eg in case of some discrepancy)
To change any value, enter the number corresponding to it, such as to change the NGEMS Region
Name, enter 9.
To proceed (without changing these entries or after changing particular entry), enter 0.
11) After this the script asks whether the IP addresses on the CACU cards have been updated, this
should be confirmed by entering ‘Y’ if the steps in the prerequisites have been completed, else, the
script should be exited and the IP addresses should be assigned to the cards.
********
The physical card IPs for CACU chassis are:
MLS1 = 10.187.212.4
MLS2 = 10.187.212.7
SLM1 = 10.187.212.9
SLM2 = 10.187.212.10
EBM1 = 10.187.212.11
EBM2 = 10.187.212.12
NGTJ1 = 10.187.212.13
NGTJ2 = 10.187.212.19
********
12) Once done that is ‘Y’ has been entered to confirm and proceed, the script will ask the following
option:
24 C-DOT MAX-NG
C-DOT MAX-NG NETWORK CONNECTIVITY & VLAN CREATION IN MLS CARD
13) After this step, the script prompts for the card on which the installation has to be done, through a
following menu:
Select Card Type:
[1] For SLM
[2] For NGTJ
[3] For EBM
[0] To Exit
Enter Your Option
The user should select each of the cards,that is for the SLM, NGTJ and EBM cards one by one as
the script returns to ask for this input again. Once a card type is selected, the script will proceed
with that card and after the installation is complete on that card, the script will present the same
menu for the other cards.
14) After any card type is selected, the user will be prompted for the IP address of the card to be
confirmed and then some other input parameters for the cards. For SLM card, the script will also ask
if the setup is in a simplex or duplex SLM configuration.
15) Now, when the user enters an IP address, here 10.187.1.5 is an example, the ssh prompt is shown,
something similar to the following:
In the above example, 10.187.1.5 is the IP address of the CACU card on which installation is being
done and c9:66:1f:4e:6e:b9:c9:c3:cc:46:4c:44:1b:56:ad:1e is the ssh RSA key for that particular
CACU card (SLM/EBM or NGTJ). These two values will be different for every card depending upon
the site.
16) This will display an output as the following and ask for the password for the root user of CACU card
(SLM/EBM/NGTJ) on which the installation option has been selected :
Warning: Permanently added '10.187.1.5' (RSA) to the list of known
hosts.
root@10.187.1.5's password: (Default is root)
Now try logging into the machine, with "ssh 'root@10.187.1.5'", and
check in:
.ssh/authorized_keys
NOTE: This “warning” is not actually an error or a warning and should be ignored.
17) During the installation of the SLM cards, some prints would be shown related to file transfer and file
creation. One input will be asked related to the secure connection between the active and stand-by
SLM cards, which will be something similar to the following:
******************************************************
******************************************************
Here, the user will be have to press the Enter key thrice for the secure key creation.
18) Once the installation is finished on the SLM cards (simplex or duplex), the script will show the
following output
26 C-DOT MAX-NG
C-DOT MAX-NG NETWORK CONNECTIVITY & VLAN CREATION IN MLS CARD
NOTE: This temporary failure is not an error or a failure, but is shown because the entry of that particular SLM card
was not yet present in the DNS. This should be ignored.
19) Now the user will again presented the main menu of the script and the user should select the
application release installation for other CACU card, say NGTJ card.
20) Again the IP address of the NGTJ card will be asked and output similar to steps 15 and 16 will be
presented. Such warnings are to be ignored The output will be similar to as follows:
.ssh/authorized_keys
to make sure we haven't added extra keys that you weren't
expecting.
Here, the IP address 10.187.212.13 is just an example IP address for the CACU NGTJ card.
21) Now the operator is presented with some information regarding the NGTJ card OS release version
and the FPGA version. When asked to continue with the installation, the operator should enter ‘y’.
22) Once the initial I2C driver related installation is done on the NGTJ card, a welcome message is
displayed to the operator, that looks similar to:
@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@
@@@@@
@@@@@ @@@@@
@@@@@ @@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
C-DOT
At the end of this text it asks whether the operator wants to continue with the installation and to
modify the ‘default input’ file. The operator should continue (y) with the installation and should not
modify the ‘default input’ file. The screen output is:
23) Upon continuing with the installation of the CACU NGTJ card, some other inputs will also be taken
from the user. These include the C5 server IP address, C4 server IP address, whether to enable a
particular gateway on the NGJT card and likewise. The output is shown as follows:
28 C-DOT MAX-NG
C-DOT MAX-NG NETWORK CONNECTIVITY & VLAN CREATION IN MLS CARD
Here the operator should select ‘y’ installing a particular gateway on the NGTJ card and for
enabling particular gateway according to the site (as shown in the example above).
24) Once the above fields are entered, some configuration entries will be asked from the operator, such
as the IP addresses of the C5 and C4 servers, enabling PR/DR feature configuration, domain name,
IP addresses of the nameservers, domain name of the sbc etc. (r may be pressed in a later
installation when these values are known to be present already, but for the first time site migration
configuration, the values should be entered according to the site. r is for repeating and using the
value being shown). The output shown is as follows:
25) Alternatively, if the operator does not want to configure the DR feature, the C5 IP address is asked
as well and the entries related to the domain name are not asked. The output shown is as follows,
when the DR feature is not configured:
In the example above, the DR feature was not enabled selecting ‘n’,'10.187.0.15' is the C5
server IP address and 10.187.0.12 is the C4 server IP address.
26) After these values are provided by the operator, the values are confirmed and the operator is asked
whether to proceed with the installation. ‘y’ should be entered to proceed/re-confirm proceeding
with the installation.
27) In case the operator opts to not proceed with the installation, the options presented by the script are
28) When the installation option is selected (Point 26), a list of the files to be installed on the NGTJ card
is shown and the file transfer to the NGTJ card starts, where you will be prompted to enter ‘y’ in
intervals.
29) Once the installation step reaches the SG installation, it also asks for some inputs, related to the SG
server and PR-GR configuration.
The output is similar to the following and the user should enter the values asked:
30 C-DOT MAX-NG
C-DOT MAX-NG NETWORK CONNECTIVITY & VLAN CREATION IN MLS CARD
30) The installation for SGL2 starts after this and when the SGL2 installation is finished, a following
message is displayed:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
!!!! 10.187.212.21 :sgl2 installed sucessfully!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
31) When the installation of release is completed on the NGTJ card, the NGEMS agent installation on
the NGTJ card, per gateway is asked, and the user should enter ‘y’ according to the gateways
installed on the CACU NGTJ card. An example output is:
In the above example, the NGTJ card Agent has been selected for installation and the user has
selected y.
Similarly for other Agents, such as PRI EMS GatewayAgent , V5 EMS Gateway Agent and SG
EMS Gateway Agent, whichever is applicable, y should be entered to installed otherwise, only Enter
should be pressed to skip a particular gateway agent installation.
32) Finally when the installation is complete on the NGTJ card the NGTJ card must be given a
command to reboot:
33) Once the installation is completed on the NGTJ card , the script returns to the main menu as the
follows and the installation for EBM card should be selected after this
34) Finally when all the installation is completed on the CACU cards and the option to exit the script is
selected, the output is shown as

Appendix-H
(Automated Installations for LAGU Application Release/Patch)
PREREQUISITES:
a) Ensure that the IP addresses are available with the user as described in Appendix –A.
b) The thin-client has been prepared/configured according to the Appendix-I.
c) For complete release and patches installations, ensure that all the eight LAGU application
release/patch tarballs (9) as mentioned in the Appendix-F are present in the thin client folder,
say “/home/Ubuntu/LAGU-SOURCE/”.
d) The NGTJ cards have to be loaded with the provided VER53 uboot and dtb files. Refer the
Appendix-E.
2) Connect the minicom cable to the RS-232 port of one of the NGTJ cards of the LAGU chassis
and log-in using the username “root” and password “root”.
3) Before proceeding for LAGU installations, do the following steps to shutdown the LAG
applications :
# /cdot/bin/mount_mmc_ext3
# chroot /mmc /etc/lag_shutdown.sh 2
4) Connect the LAGU with the CACU for uplink either using the Ethernet ports to the CACU MLS
card or via the E1/PCM links on the LAGU to the EBM cards of the CACU.
It should be noted that both the Ethernet and E1 links for a same LAGU should not be used,
otherwise it may cause network looping.
5) Configure the site IP for the LAGU NGTJ cards through the minicom terminal using the
following four (4) commands to be typed on the terminal window of the NGTJ card in the
sequence given(replace values inside angular brackets < >) :
34 C-DOT MAX-NG
C-DOT MAX-NG NETWORK CONNECTIVITY & VLAN CREATION IN MLS CARD
6) For complete release and patches installations, ensure that all the nine LAGU application
release/patch tarballs (9) as mentioned in the Appendix-F are present in the thin client
folder, say “/home/Ubuntu/LAGU-SOURCE/”. In case the release CLAGL2_4_1.2_1 is
already installed, for only the patches installations over LAGU, it may be noted that at least
the following four (4) patch files should be present before starting the installations :
#cd /home/Ubuntu/LAGU-SOURCE
#tar -xvf PATCH9-Over-CLAGL2_4_1.2_1-EBM_loop_RBT_Call_Clear_log.tar
10) Currently for field migrations, option [2] will be invoked in case the base release
CLAGL2_4_1.2_1 is already installed over the LAGU cards and only the patches need to be
loaded. In this case, ensure that the four(4) tarballs as mentioned in the step 5 above are present.
11) The option [3] is executed in case the base release CLAGL2_4_1.2_1 and the latest patches need
to be installed over the LAGU cards. This option is the most appropriate to ensure proper release
and patches installation. In this case, ensure that all the nine (9) tarballs for LAGU as mentioned
in Appendix-F are present.
12) Backend Release as well as patches will be installed as well (if their tarballs are present at the
same path, as mentioned in Point no. 6), when the user will select either option [2] or option [3].
13) In case we select the option [3], then following output/prompt is given to user:
14) The user is asked for an option to perform an installation on a simplex or duplex LAGU system
16) If the user selects the option for a duplex installation, the output shown is as:
Upon entering the IP address of the first NGTJ card, the user is prompted for the IP address of
the second NGTJ card:
17) The user is then asked whether a backup of existing configuration files on the LAGU cards has
36 C-DOT MAX-NG
C-DOT MAX-NG NETWORK CONNECTIVITY & VLAN CREATION IN MLS CARD
It is recommended that for the first time field migration installation, this option must not be
done. Output shown is:
18) After the above entries are taken, the following configuration values will be asked from the user:
20) If a no is input by the user for DNS based routing, the user prompts for input would be as the
followings:
(Note: These values are just examples, and must be replaced with actual values at the site.)
38 C-DOT MAX-NG
C-DOT MAX-NG NETWORK CONNECTIVITY & VLAN CREATION IN MLS CARD
21) After these entries have been done, the user is then displayed the inputs received so far and an
option to change them.
The user may change any entry corresponding to its number if needed., eg, to change the value of
NTP Server IP Address, 6 should be entered.
[ 0 ] To Proceed
Do you want to change any value? [yes/no]
no
User selected to proceed with the given configuration
22) In the next prompt, the script creates an ssh/scp connection between the PC/Thin-client and the
NGTJ cards. The user is asked to ensure the authenticity of the ssh host (NGTJ cards) followed
by the password of the NGTJ card, which should be entered as root. The following output should
be displayed:
In the above example, 10.187.1.5 is the IP address of the NGTJ card on which installation is
being done and c9:66:1f:4e:6e:b9:c9:c3:cc:46:4c:44:1b:56:ad:1e is the ssh RSA key for that
particular NGTJ card. These two values will be different depending upon the site.
23) After this step, the password for the root user of the NGTJ card is asked, with an output similar
to:
Warning: Permanently added '10.187.1.5' (RSA) to the list of known
hosts.
root@10.187.1.5's password:
Here, enter the password of the root user. The password as you type will not be visible.
Note that the Warning shown here is not any error or warning, so should be ignored.
24) Now, the installation proceeds and takes around half an hour for each NGTJ card, thus around an
hour for each LAGU. There would be continuous prints on the screen while the installation
40 C-DOT MAX-NG
C-DOT MAX-NG NETWORK CONNECTIVITY & VLAN CREATION IN MLS CARD
progresses.
25) First the release is installed and the prints are shown as follows:

Appendix-I
(PREPARATION OF THE THIN CLIENT MACHINE)
Following are the steps for preparation of the Thin-client machine for usage in CACU and LAGU cards
access and software loading and configurations:
1) Connect the Thin-Client machine/box with the keyboard, monitor and mouse, power source, and
boot the thin client.
2) Log-in to the thin-client with the default user named Ubuntu (in case not directly logged in).
3) Open the terminal window.
4) Set the password for the ‘root’ user at the thin client machine. The procedure to it is as follows:
a. In the terminal window opened in step 3, type the command:
#sudo passwd root
b. This command firstly asks the operator to enter the password of the Ubuntu user, which
is cdot123.
c. After this enter the password for the root user, as root123. The password will be once
input and then confirmed. Thus the password has to be entered twice.
d. The password for the root user has been updated.
5) Now, connect the thin client with the CACU MLS-1 card at any free FE port (RJ-45) with an
Ethernet cable.
6) Connect the USB interface of the minicom device with any free USB port of the thin-client.
After this, configure the minicom settings using the following steps:
a. #su - root
b. #ls -lrt /dev/*tty*
Note the last entry, it should be similar to something such as:
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout <some no.>, 0 <date> <time> /dev/ttyUSB0
c. Note the last entry that may be /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB1 etc depending upon the
USB port used.
d. #minicom - s
e. It will ask Change Which Setting and present a menu list.
f. Go to the option ‘Serial Port Setup’ and press Enter.
g. In the input menu, press ‘A’ to edit the Serial Device to a value noted in the point b/c
8) Ensure that the MLS cards have been configured for the Native VLAN IPs, gateways and the
WAN IPs/routes configurations have been completed for uplink as detailed in Appendix–B.
9) Configure the thin client machine IP address settings as per the IP address available in the IP
ADDRESS DETAILS mentioned as “Terminal (Thin Client) IP” (in Appendix – A) using the
following steps:
su - root
#vi /etc/network/interfaces
Type 100dd
Press ‘i’ to enter into the insert mode in the editor and type the following (while replacing the
fields inside < > with the actual values):
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address <IP address of the thin client>
netmask <Netmask of the thin client>
network <Network address of the thin client>
broadcast <Broadcast IP address for the thin client>
gateway <Management IP Address of the MLS-1 card>
Press the ‘Esc’ key to exit out of the insert mode of the editor and type ‘:wq’. After this,
press the Enter key.
48 C-DOT MAX-NG
C-DOT MAX-NG NETWORK CONNECTIVITY & VLAN CREATION IN MLS CARD
10) Now test the core nodes reachability and the connection speed as mentioned in the steps below
(with transfer of application patches from the Core server) :
a. Ping the Core Server using its domain name. The command to be used is:
#ping <Domain Name of the Core server>
In case the pinging results in a packet loss, ensure the IP connectivity is made.
b. If ping is known to be disabled, use the following command to check the IP connectivity:
#nc –w 1 <Domain name of the Core Server> 22
This command should output something similar to
SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.3
This means that the IP connectivity is fine.
If the nc command does not output anything after some time, this means that there is some
issue in the reachability till the core. Ensure the IP Connectivity first.
c. If the ping or nc (if ping is disabled) is successful, type the following commands:
#mkdir /home/ubuntu/LAGU-SOURCE;scp -r
USER@<CoreServer>:/home/fileuser/LAGU-SOURCE/*
/home/ubuntu/LAGU-SOURCE
This will transfer LAGU Access Software files from the core server to the thin client and
save them at the location /home/ubuntu/LAGU-SOURCE. This will take few minutes.
d. Similarly, type the following commands to transfer the CACU Access software and patches
from the Core node to the thin client:
e. Further, type the following commands to transfer miscellaneous other Access software from
the Core node to the thin client:
f. Based upon the success of the above two points, the connectivity between the core server and
the access node network is ensured.
g. Following steps need to be followed for installation of the tftp server over thin client and
copy the relevant drivers at the /var/lib/tftpboot/ path:
(Please enter the Ubuntu user password when prompted)
# cd /home/ubuntu/MISC
# sudo dpkg -i tftpd-hpa_5.0-11ubuntu2.1_armel.deb
# sudo cp tftp /etc/xinetd.d/
# sudo cp NGTJ.u-boot.bin.VER53 /var/lib/tftpboot/
# sudo cp NGTJ.dtb.VER53 /var/lib/tftpboot/
Note: In case of space issue over the Thin Client machine; check with
the following command for presence of large size files (say more than
100 MB)

Appendix-K
(MLS Card MAC and IP Address Entry)
MAC ADDRESS ALLOCATIONS IN MLS CARD (with Software version 3.65 static layer-3)
The MLS card requires one MAC address for the system itself (CPU) and one for each of the front
ports. The front port SMACs are needed for PAUSE frame generation. So, in total 24 MAC
addresses get allocated to each MLS card. We have to reserve a pool of 24 MAC addresses for
each MLS card but need to enter only the first MAC address of the pool as per the below
mentioned steps. The rest of 23 MAC addresses get internally allocated upon entry of the first
MAC for CPU.
NOTE: This procedure is required to be executed only if pool of 24 MAC addresses have not been
already allocated to each MLS card (with steps as mentioned as below to enter only the first MAC
of the 24 MAC pool).
Steps for MAC address allocation:
3. Connect minicom cable from Thin Client PC to MLS card (7th and 8th slot MLS cards) using
USB to serial convertor. The box delivered at site contains one Minicom cable ( with 3 pin connector
at one end to be connected to CACU chassis and 9-pin connector at other end to be connected to
Serial to USB convertor delivered along with Thin Client PC). The one end of one cable delivered in
USB to serial convertor box will be connected to rounded end of 9 pin connector and 9 pin
connector will be connected to minicom cable (black) delivered with the CACU chassis. Minicom
ports are available at the rear end of each slot of CACU chassis.
4. After initializing minicom , login prompt will automatically come and login prompt will appear
(login user: admin password : <enter>). Here password is not required just press Enter key. You will
be logged in MLS card and # prompt will appear.
# platform debug allow
(Assuming MAC Address pool of MLS card is, say 00-01-c1-00-00-01 to 00-01-c1-00-00-18 in
hex)
# debug board mac 00-01-c1-00-00-01

C-DOT MAX-NG NETWORK CONNECTIVITY & VLAN CREATION IN MLS CARD
addresses have been allocated for the all sites of South/West and North/East (for
Rajasthan Circle only).
Only the First MAC address out of the allocated pool of 24 MACs is mentioned for
each MLS card for each site.
It may be noted that the only the First MAC address (out of the pool of 24 MACs)
has to be entered as per the simple procedure given the Access site migration
document also (Appendix-B). The rest of the 23 MACs get internally allocated to ports.

Appendix-M
(Automated Installations for CACU Application Release/Patch)
PREREQUISITES:
8) The application release CEServices3_65-MLSSD1_SW002.dat should be loaded on both the MLS
cards of the CACU.
9) The dtb file for the NGTJ card should be loaded on the SE3 or AE3 NGTJ card to be used in the
CACU.
10) The CACU deliverables described in the Appendix-F, part 2 should be copied to a directory on the
thin-client/PC from where application release installation has to be done on the CACU cards.
11) A detailed list of IP addresses to be allocated to the cards of CAU should be present as described in
the Appendix - A.
12) The thin-client should have been configured and readied according to the Appendix-I.
13) Connect an RS-232/minicom cable to the thin-client at one end and with the minicom serial port
behind each card slot one by one to assign IP addresses to the cards.
14) Log-in to the cards via the minicom using the username “root” and password “root”. The process to
assign IP addresses to the every type of CACU cards is described as follows:
For MLS card IP settings; set the VLAN1 (native default VLAN) IP address. See Appendix-B for reference.
For CACU NGTJ card (SE3 version) IP settings; eth0 port is used
Note: In case the CACU NGTJ card is not accessible from minicom, login to the NGTJ card from the Thin Client
using “ssh root@<NGTJcard-IP-Address>” (with the default IP address allocated to the card by the
manufacturer). Before this step, the Thin Client should also be set with the default IP subnet of the NGTJ card,
so that the NGTJ card can be accessed from the Thin Client machine. And after changing the IP of the NGTJ
SE3 card for the site IP, the Thin Client IP should be reverted to the site wise IP for the thin client.
#mount /dev/mtdblock0 /jffs2
#cd /jffs2/conf
# > net
#vi net
Press ‘i’ to enter the INSERT mode of vi editor and then add/edit the following 3 lines of net file.
ifconfig eth1 down
ifconfig eth0 <NGTJ-CARD-IP-ADDR> netmask <netmask> up
Once the above is ensured, proceed with the actual installation of the application software release as
given below.
Following is the exact location of net files in CACU cards SLM,NGTJ and EBM cards and is as
follows:
After logging into cards,
For NGTJ card:

C-DOT MAX-NG NETWORK CONNECTIVITY & VLAN CREATION IN MLS CARD
36) Switch to the root user on the thin-client/PC (to be used for further installation process), if not
already using the command ‘su - root’.
37) Now connect the thin-client with any free Ethernet port (RJ-45) available on the MLS-1 card at the
7th slot of the CACU chassis.
38) Assign an IP address to the thin-client (or PC) using the IP address available at the site as detailed
in the Appendix I (steps 7 onwards). If already assigned, please ignore.
Following is the procedure to shutdown processes in SLM , EBM , and NGTJ cards for IP assigning
as per the site IP list.
For SLM card,
Shm.exe processes will be shut down. After this messages in minicom terminal will be stopped.
Note : After following these steps, each card can be accessed through Minicom and Ethernet cable.
Thin Client will be connected to respective cards through minicom cable and Ethernet cable
(delivered alongwith equipment) to 7A port of MLS card present at rear end of CACU chassis.
39) On the thin-client/PC for installation, go to the path where CACU application release deliverables
have been copied using the command:
#cd /home/Ubuntu/CACU-SOURCE
#chmod +x *sh
41) Execute the script using the command:
#./PATCH10-Over-SLML1_1_1.5_1-install_cacu_cards-NGTJ-INSTALL.sh
42) When the script is run for the first time on a particular thin-client/PC, the script will initiate the
unzipping of the release/patch files locally to arrange them in a structure as required during the
installation on the cards.
43) Once the unzipping is complete, the script asks for the Type of CACU system. For MAX-NG, it
must be entered as 1. Output is similar to
64 C-DOT MAX-NG
C-DOT MAX-NG NETWORK CONNECTIVITY & VLAN CREATION IN MLS CARD
44) After this, the script will ask for input for various parameters such as the IP addresses for the
CACU, IP address of the NGEMS, NGSM, NTP server etc. The sample output is:
Configuration file is not present, all the values need to be filled
All the values need to be entered:

10.187.4.12
The updated NTP server IP is 10.187.4.12
Enter the Periodicity to sync with NTP server (in seconds)
Enter Periodicity for syncing with NTP Server, Default will be 600 (Value will be in seconds)
900
The Updated NTP periodicity (in seconds) is 900
Note: The above IP address, ports, system name, etc. are just an indicative example and the actual entries must
be entered according to the field data. The IPs may change as this will depend on PR and GR configuration.
45) Now the user is displayed the values that have been entered so far and is asked whether these values
have to be changed (eg in case of some discrepancy)
Note 2: In case of Configuration 2 Entries corresponding to NGSM will not be used, even if
present.
68 C-DOT MAX-NG
C-DOT MAX-NG NETWORK CONNECTIVITY & VLAN CREATION IN MLS CARD
To change any value, enter the number corresponding to it, such as to change the NGEMS Region Name, enter 9.
To proceed (without changing these entries or after changing particular entry), enter 0.
46) After this the script asks whether the IP addresses on the CACU cards have been updated, this
should be confirmed by entering ‘Y’ if the steps in the prerequisites have been completed, else, the
script should be exited and the IP addresses should be assigned to the cards.
********
The physical card IPs for CACU chassis are:
MLS1 = 10.187.212.4
MLS2 = 10.187.212.7
SLM1 = 10.187.212.9
SLM2 = 10.187.212.10
EBM1 = 10.187.212.11
EBM2 = 10.187.212.12
NGTJ1 = 10.187.212.13
NGTJ2 = 10.187.212.19
********
47) Once done that is ‘Y’ has been entered to confirm and proceed, the script will ask the following
option:
48) After this step, the script prompts for the card on which the installation has to be done, through a
following menu:
Select Card Type:
[1] For SLM
[2] For NGTJ
[3] For EBM
[0] To Exit
49) After any card type is selected, the user will be prompted for the IP address of the card to be
confirmed and then some other input parameters for the cards. For SLM card, the script will also
ask if the setup is in a simplex or duplex SLM configuration.
50) Now, when the user enters an IP address, here 10.187.1.5 is an example, the ssh prompt is shown,
something similar to the following:
70 C-DOT MAX-NG
C-DOT MAX-NG NETWORK CONNECTIVITY & VLAN CREATION IN MLS CARD
In the above example, 10.187.1.5 is the IP address of the CACU card on which installation is being done and
c9:66:1f:4e:6e:b9:c9:c3:cc:46:4c:44:1b:56:ad:1e is the ssh RSA key for that particular CACU card (SLM/EBM
or NGTJ). These two values will be different for every card depending upon the site.
51) This will display an output as the following and ask for the password for the root user of CACU
card (SLM/EBM/NGTJ) on which the installation option has been selected :
Warning: Permanently added '10.187.1.5' (RSA) to the list of known
hosts.
root@10.187.1.5's password: (Default is root)
Now try logging into the machine, with "ssh 'root@10.187.1.5'", and
check in:
.ssh/authorized_keys
NOTE: This “warning” is not actually an error or a warning and should be ignored.
52) During the installation of the SLM cards, some prints would be shown related to file transfer and
file creation. One input will be asked related to the secure connection between the active and stand-
by SLM cards, which will be something similar to the following:
******************************************************
******************************************************
Here, the user will be have to press the Enter key thrice for the secure key creation.
53) Once the installation is finished on the SLM cards (simplex or duplex), the script will show the
following output
NOTE: This temporary failure is not an error or a failure, but is shown because the entry of that particular SLM
card was not yet present in the DNS. This should be ignored.
54) Now the user will again presented the main menu of the script and the user should select the
application release installation for other CACU card, say NGTJ card.
55) Again the IP address of the NGTJ card will be asked and output similar to steps 15 and 16 will be
presented. Such warnings are to be ignored The output will be similar to as follows:
72 C-DOT MAX-NG
C-DOT MAX-NG NETWORK CONNECTIVITY & VLAN CREATION IN MLS CARD
.ssh/authorized_keys
to make sure we haven't added extra keys that you weren't expecting.
Here, the IP address 10.187.212.13 is the example IP address of the CACU NGTJ card.
56) Now the operator is presented with some information regarding the NGTJ card OS release version
and the FPGA version. When asked to continue with the installation, the operator should enter ‘y’.
NGTJ release on NGTJ 10.187.212.13 is 1.52 and Control FPGA version is 21 on (NGTJ)
Time switch FPGA version is 21 on (NGTJ)
NGTJ @ 10.187.212.13 has 72% free space left
Do you want to continue? (Y/y to continue, Press Enter to exit)
y
You have selected to Continue with the installation
57) Once the initial I2C driver related installation is done on the NGTJ card, a welcome message is
displayed to the operator, that looks similar to:
@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@
@@@@@
@@@@@ @@@@@

C-DOT
At the end of this text it asks whether the operator wants to continue with the installation and to modify the
‘default input’ file. The operator should continue (y) with the installation and should not modify the ‘default
input’ file. The screen output is:
58) Upon continuing with the installation of the CACU NGTJ card, some other inputs will also be taken
from the user. These include the C5 server IP address, C4 server IP address, whether to enable a
particular gateway on the NGJT card and likewise. The output is shown as follows:
Here the operator should select ‘y’ installing a particular gateway on the NGTJ card and for enabling particular
gateway according to the site (as shown in the example above).
59) Once the above fields are entered, some configuration entries will be asked from the operator, such as the IP
addresses of the C5 and C4 servers, enabling PR/DR feature configuration, domain name, IP addresses of the
nameservers, domain name of the sbc etc. (r may be pressed in a later installation when these values are known
to be present already, but for the first time site migration configuration, the values should be entered according
to the site. r is for repeating and using the value being shown). The output shown is as follows:
[120s] [1/3]:: INPUT THE VALUE OF DOMAIN NAME: maxng.bsnl.in [r]: maxng.bsnl.in
[120s] [1/3]:: INPUT THE VALUE OF nameserver [SBC] of PR: 192.168.149.118 [r]: 10.187.1.12
[120s] [1/3]:: INPUT THE VALUE OF nameserver [SBC] of GR: 192.168.109.183 [r]:
10.187.0.140
[120s] [1/3]:: INPUT THE VALUE OF DOMAIN NAME of 'sbc': sbc.maxng.bsnl.in [r]:
ggnsbc.maxng.bsnl.in
74 C-DOT MAX-NG
C-DOT MAX-NG NETWORK CONNECTIVITY & VLAN CREATION IN MLS CARD
60) Alternatively, if the operator does not want to configure the DR feature, the C5 IP address is asked as well
and the entries related to the domain name are not asked. The output shown is as follows, when the DR feature is
not configured:
In the example above, the DR feature was enabled selecting ‘n’,'10.187.1.143' is the C5 server IP address
and 10.187.1.143 is the C4 server IP address. Here Gurugram site is PR site and Chandigarh is GR site.
61) After these values are provided by the operator, the values are confirmed and the operator is asked
whether to proceed with the installation. ‘y’ should be entered to proceed/re-confirm proceeding
with the installation.
62) In case the operator opts to not proceed with the installation, the options presented by the script are
: Want to continue installation?: :Press 'y' to Confirm , : 'n' no, I want to exit ... n
63) When the installation option is selected (Point 26), a list of the files to be installed on the NGTJ
card is shown and the file transfer to the NGTJ card starts, where you will be prompted to enter ‘y’
in intervals.
64) Once the installation step reaches the SG installation, it also asks for some inputs, related to the SG
server and PR-GR configuration.
The output is similar to the following and the user should enter the values asked:
76 C-DOT MAX-NG
C-DOT MAX-NG NETWORK CONNECTIVITY & VLAN CREATION IN MLS CARD
65) The installation for SGL2 starts after this and when the SGL2 installation is finished, a following
message is displayed:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
!!!! 10.187.212.21 :sgl2 installed sucessfully!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
66) When the installation of release is completed on the NGTJ card, the NGEMS agent installation on
the NGTJ card, per gateway is asked, and the user should enter ‘y’ according to the gateways
installed on the CACU NGTJ card. An example output is:
In the above example, the NGTJ card Agent has been selected for installation and the user has selected y.
Similarly for other Agents, such as PRI EMS GatewayAgent , V5 EMS Gateway Agent and SG EMS Gateway
Agent, whichever is applicable, y should be entered to installed otherwise, only Enter should be pressed to skip a
particular gateway agent installation.
67) Finally when the installation is complete on the NGTJ card the NGTJ card must be given a
command to reboot:
reboot_ngtj.sh
100% 43 0.0KB/s 00:00
68) Once the installation is completed on the NGTJ card , the script returns to the main menu as the
follows and the installation for EBM card should be selected after this
69) Finally when all the installation is completed on the CACU cards and the option to exit the script is
selected, the output is shown as
Select Option for Another Card

Introduction
MIGRATION TO CDOT MAX-NG
With the emergence of Voice-over-IP (VoIP) and convergence of services over internet,
service providers need to migrate from their TDM based PSTN network to an all-IP
network using IP/MPLS technology. Evolution path to next generation network (NGN) for
most service providers worldwide is the creation of an optical network at the core.
Converged voice, video and data services will be provided on the core network using IP
based protocols. Service providers require migration from existing TDM based PSTN
network to the all-IP network with minimum disruption in subscriber services.
As almost 50% BSNL’s PSTN switching network is based on CDOT DSS technology,
CDOT has developed cost effective MAXNG solution on the same line for migration of this
entire legacy network to all IP network. The up-gradation approach is to evolve the CDOT
DSS technology to Soft Switch controlled VoIP. The MAX DSS systems are being
converted to VoIP based systems with minimal hardware replacement and ANRAX is
connected to the core nodes of the MAXNG systems through V5AG. Maximum
functionality is being implemented in firmware and software to ensure cost effectiveness of
the solution. MAXNG solution retains the line termination circuits, which constitute a
substantial portion of existing equipment cost, to reduce the migration cost for BSNL.
INTRODUCTION TO CDOT MAX-NG
MAXNG solution is based on de-linking call processing and service logic functions in the
MAX DSS systems from media paths and moving them out to an external Soft Switch. The
Soft Switch is modular. The Class 5 module implements Local Exchange functions, while
the Class 4 module implements the Tandem functions. All calls are presented to the Soft
Switch as SIP based calls. The Digital Trunk Media and the SS7 functionalities are also
not retained in the switch and are performed by the specially defined NGN nodes viz
Trunk Media Gateway and the Signaling Gateway. All the access nodes of MAXNG system
interact with the centralized node- Soft switch, in standard SIP protocol. The media (data,
voice & video) and its associated signaling messages are carried in the form of IP packets in
the network.
In essence, the modifications in MAX hardware and software are confined to handling the
subscriber interface and the remaining call processing is carried out by the other NGN
components of MAX-NG solution. This architecture permits retention of existing terminal
units for only as long as they are necessary in the BSNL network without having to retain
the associated back end processing modules.

port. The Site Survey sheet is attached in Annexure-I.
2) This activity requires 2-3 days.
3) This activity has to be completed at-least 15 days before migration.
Data Extraction
1. This activity includes extraction of data from IOP terminal and to be done at-least 15 days
before actual migration. The output files are to be saved at local PC at access site and as
well as core site. This ED backup has to be taken in cartridge for future reference.
2. Any modification in the exchange data done after extraction has to maintain in the log
book and changes has to be done manually once MAX-NG migration is completed.
3. This will require 2 to 3 days and time may vary depending on number of sites.
Verification of BOM
a) Verify the delivered equipment as per the BOM and this will require 4 hours
approximately.
DATA Creation at Core Site
b) Create data at core sites which includes execution of csv files which may take 1-2 hours and
this data will be created by the core team at respective core site. Freeze data at-least 7 days
before actual migration.
c) Output files are required for routing related information and TGPs.CMD file which can be
downloaded from C-DOT helpline portal will be provided for execution of commands and
output of files can be saved and sent by mail also.
LAGU Installation
1. Installation of LAGU System at Co-located BM and RSU’s site ( 2 hours approx. per RSU
site)
At Co-located BM/RBM replace BPU and TSU frames by LAGU chassis. Configure NGTJ
card according to IP list of specific BM. Connect E1s or Ethernet cables depending on the
connectivity to LAGU system. Approximately 2 hours are required for migrating each RBM site
which also includes Call Verification. Total time may vary depending on number of sites which
are to be migrated. To migrate BM to LAG following steps are to be taken.
2. Steps for Migration of RSU Site
i. Shut off the Power of the BM to be migrated.
ii. Un-screw the BPU and TSU frame.
iii. Remove the cables connected at the back plane of TSU and BPU. These cables are
TT cables, TB cables and power cables.
iv. Remove the filters of BPU and TSU frames from the BUS BAR.
v. Pull out the TSU and BPU frames from the BM cabinet.
vi. Install the new filter box in place of BPU filter boxes at Copy 0 and Copy 1 side of
Bus bar.
vii. For physical installation of LAGU chassis, a fixture needs to be installed first.
viii. This fixture will hold the LAGU chassis vertically. Now in this fixture install the
LAGU chassis
ix. Put the LAGU chassis in the fixture and screw it properly.
x. TT cables at TU side will remain same.
xi. At LAGU end TT cables have to be connected in position 1A, 1B, 2A and 2B
connectors.
xii. At LAGU TT cables will be connected in the same way as it was connected in the
TSU of MAX BM.
Now connect the power cable for copy-0 and copy-1 of LAGU chassis and make sure that
the cables are connected properly to the newly installed filter box of LAGU chassis.
For TSI cards the power is to be tapped from the back plane of ATU, from the specified
Pins of connector B, behind any of the LCC cards.
Before connecting these TSI power cables at LAGU mother Board, power-ON the ATU’s
and verify the voltages at the connector.
The voltage must be as per the specified range. At red cable the voltage must be 4.5 volt to
7 volt. The black cable is Digital ground and at the yellow cable the voltage should vary
between -10 to -15 Volts.
In case you are not getting the desired voltage place the connectors in different LCC slot.
In the respective card slots insert the NGTJ and TSI cards
These NGTJ cards will be delivered to site with pre-installed software and root file system.
Now after the cards are jacked-in Switch-ON the power supply of all the ATU's and
LAGU.
The prints in the minicom terminal will appear showing the booting sequence.
Observe the messages and wait for the LAG to come UP.
Once the LAG is UP, create data through CLI interface using extracted files from IOP for
corresponding BM.
FTP account will be created and details like username and password will be shared for fetching
CDR records for billing purposes.
For MAX subscriber, CDRs can be pulled from the IOP and for MAX-NG subscribers, CDRs can
be pulled from the specified directory created at the core server for the corresponding zone. Once
again, verification of dumping of CDR at core server will be done after complete migration.

belongs to. More specifically, switches use the VLAN ID to determine which
port(s), or interface(s), to send a broadcast packet to. Tagging (Switching) is a
flexible and efficient network communication mechanism used to transmit
Internet Protocol (IP) traffic over a telecommunications network.
xx) Switches create a network. Routers connect networks. A router links computers to
the Internet, so users can share the connection.
xxi) The main purpose of a virtual network is to enable a data center or service
provider network to provision the most suitable and efficient networking
structure for the applications it hosts – and to alter that structure as conditions
warrant, using software rather than requiring physical changes in connections to
hardware.
xxxiii) Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a type of data-carrying technique for high-
performance telecommunications networks. MPLS directs data from one network node
to the next based on short path labels rather than long network addresses, avoiding
complex lookups in a routing table.
xxxiv) As per PAN INDIA IP planning, WAN IPs & LAN IPs have been already
planned.LAGU & CACU Systems are required to be configured and allowed in
IP/MPLS network with unique WAN IP and LAN IP for specific site planned for
migration.
xxxv) Important points which should be taken care off before and during migration
activity are as follows:
o) MAX-NG General Description document having overview of MAX-NG
Project. (Introduction, Upgradation, Access Network Architecture,
Integration, etc.)
p) General Administrative document having administrative details for
migration. (Summary of Important Migration Steps, Migration Document
for converting MBM to MAX-NG )
q) Main LAN Switch (MLS) document having description, details and
configuration procedure in MLS card.
r) WAN IP & LAN IP details required to be configured in BSNL/IP MPLS
network.
s) Installation and configuration documents of LAGU & CACU System.
t) Procedure approved by Director, CFA, BSNL.
u) Matrix attached for Call Testing post migration.
xxxvi) As per document at S.No. 5, Template has to be filled by ITPC (IT Project Circle)
which takes approximately 3-4 days and need to be verified by Exchange Incharge and
same will be sent to respective circle teams for migration activity. In case of any
discrepancies, incharge will communicate same to ITPC and nodal team.
xxxvii) As per attached document, this will give basic idea of migration and network.
xxxviii) Please follow Installation and configuration documents of LAGU & CACU System.
xxxix) Note: Exchange person will take ED & BD backup before actual migration and keep
it in safe custody.
xl) After preparation and installation of CACU and LAGU System, a sample call is tested
from access network to different PSTN and Mobile networks as per Matrix attached in
mail. Make a sample call from SIP phone connected to CACU system and PSTN phone
connected to each LAGU System (Co-located & Remotely located Unit).
xli) Site Monitoring for 2 to 3 days.

On first time invocation, takes/registers the IP address range allocated to the
CACU Chassis along with the netmask, gateway-address and broadcast
addresses.
Discovers the card type (NGTJ/EBM/MLS) present in the CACU slots.
Allocates the IP addresses to the NGTJ and EBM cards discovered from the
allocated range input.
Checks the MLS card presence by pinging to the management IP of MLS cards
as per the IP range given by operator for CACU Chassis cards.
Intimates the EMS regarding the card types present in CACU slots along with
the IP addresses.
Checks/registers the FAN running (ON/OFF) status for all the four fans of
CACU Chassis.
Checks/registers the temperature for all the equipped cards in the Chassis
(including the SLM slots).
Initializes the SLM database for the card slots for card type, IP addresses,
Ethernet port info and their respective temperature levels.
After first time discovery and initialization, the SLM goes into monitoring mode.
In monitoring mode, the SLM card periodically (after 1 min) checks the CACU
slots for any card Jack-in/Jack-outs, temperature level and FANs status changes.

The NGTJ FPGA block provides glue interface and interconnects all devices on NGTJ
card. It helps to provide resets to devices, generates chip selects, adjusts timing parameters
between devices and drives LED displays.
CLOCK MODES OF NGTJ OPERATION
NGTJ can operate in two modes when connected on E1:
Loop time mode, also called as slave mode
TX Time mode, also called as Master mode
When configured as an LAG, NGTJ can operate only in Master Mode.
Loop Time mode or slave mode: Here, NGTJ will lock to RX clock from E1 connected to
TAX or MAX, which has high clock stability. If there are 32 different E1s connected from
32 different exchanges, then NGTJ has a capability to extract clock from 32 E1s and
synchronize to each exchange. This feature was not available in SGTK.
TX Time mode or Master mode: Here, NGTJ will act like a master and provide clock on
E1s connected to access nodes such as V5 or PRI. It is possible to have few E1s in loop time
mode and few E1s in TX time mode. For e.g. few E1s configured for SGW, MGW and few
E1s configured for V5/PRI. set_e1conf command on NGTJ is used to set each e1 in either
loop timed or master mode.
POWER SUPPLY
NGTJ card operates on dual -48V power supply. Operating range of NGTJ is from -36V to
-60V DC. NGTJ has a power monitor mechanism which monitors supply voltages and
shuts down the card in the event of any power going down. Peak power consumption is
approximately 80 watts under full load condition. The operating temperature for NGTJ is

Central Module site to a MAX-NG node. One EBM card can connect up to 8/16 Remote
Base Modules to the Aggregator Slots at the erstwhile Central Module site. This is
sufficient to meet requirements of configurations of the MAX-NG exchanges deployed in
the BSNL network. As per the existing MBM configuration, 85% MBMs are working with
maximum 8 Remote Base Modules and only 15% MBMs are working with more 8 RSUs.
This card has two versions with the same PCB (APC-EBMJ22):
APC-EBMJ22/D-SE2: having capability to convert Ethernet to 32 E1s.
APC-EBMJ22/D-AE2: having capability to convert Ethernet to 16 E1s.
HARDWARE DETAILS

FUNCTIONALITY OF EBM CARD
As each Base Module after migration is converted to an IP network Node, which connects
to the IP network over Ethernet interfaces. BSNL’s IP/MPLS network is available at each
Central Module site but not at site of each Base Module. Presently the only connectivity
between Central Module and the Base Module is the existing E1 PSTN links. In order to
extend BSNL’s IP network to site of each Base Module, these links have be used for carry
IP traffic. A conversion device called Ethernet to E1 Bridge (EEB) is required at each end
of the E1 link to utilize the link for carrying IP traffic instead of PSTN circuits. For
simplicity of explanation, the EEB can be viewed as an ‘Ethernet modem’ installed at each
end of the E1 link to convert the PSTN E1 link to E1 link carrying IP traffic.
The remote BM is upgraded to LAGU having the internal EBM card. The IP traffic at the
remote LAGU is converted to PCM E1 signals by the internal EBM module. The E1’s from
the internal EBM card at remote LAGU terminate at the EBM card in CACU Chassis in
main exchange. Further the IP traffic aggregated through the E1’s from different remote
LAGU’s is carried to the BSNL MPLS network through the Ethernet connectivity between
the EBM card and Aggregator switch (MLS) in CACU.
4.8. MAX-NG LAYER-2 SWITCH CARD (MLS):
MLS card is used as a general purpose Ethernet Switch in MAX-NG. The version of the
MLS card to be used for MAX-NG Rollouts in CACU Chassis is APC-MLSJ64/O-SD1. In
the present version, MLS is functioning as a Layer-2 switch. But, there is built into it a
provision for adding an AMC board to provide Layer-3 functionality.
The IP traffic from the NGTJ card and EBM cards in the universal slots is aggregated
through the MLS cards Ethernet ports. The SLM cards Ethernet links also terminate over
the MLS card. Additionally, the external node LAGU IP traffic is carried to the MLS
Ethernet ports. The MLS has uplink Ethernet connectivity to BSNL MPLS network.
A pair of Aggregation Switch (Main LAN Switch) in 1+1 configuration provides the
Ethernet interfaces required for migration of MAX exchanges to MAX-NG systems at
Central location.

Chapter 3.
System Architecture
CACU chassis has got a pair of redundant Shelf Management and Controller slots for
housing the Shelf Manager (SLM) cards. There are 6 other slots in the CACU Chassis as
given below:
Four Universal slots housing pair of NGTJ and EBM cards
Two Aggregation slots for housing the MLS cards
The CACU Chassis is fed with two independent pair of redundant -48V power feeds in the
backplane. There is a FAN tray at the bottom hosing four FANs for cooling the
Chassis and the temperature sensor card with digital temperature sensing for each slot at
the top of the CACU Chassis.
Media Gateway (MG), V5 Access Gateway (V5AG) and PRI Access Gateway (PRIAG).
All gateways use the NGTJ card and differ only in the functional software release
loaded on the card. Besides these gateways, two copies of Ethernet to E1 conversion
modules with each card supporting up to 16/32 E1s can also be optionally equipped in the
universal slots for providing E1 connectivity to LAGs at remote BM sites. Uplink to the NGN
Core Network can be up to 1 Gbps dual redundant links from each MLS. Normally a
typical configuration at main site would have a 6-slotCard Frame housing two MLS , two
NGTJ boards for gateway applications and two EBM boards (for remote BM
connectivity).
The Central Module in existing main exchange is completely removed. It is replaced
with an MLS. Any Trunk BMs co-located with the Central Modules are also upgraded to
gateways. After the upgrade, all E1 based gateways like Trunk Media Gateways,
Signaling Gateways, V5.2
Gateways and PRI Gateways are always co-located with the MLS at the Central Site (in the
6- slot MAX-NG Card Frame as explained earlier).
The collocated BMs in the main exchange site will have the LAGs uplinked via MLS in
CACU Chassis, however for the remote BMs the E1s links are terminated at the EBM
equipped in CACU Chassis.
Following cards can be installed over the CACU chassis:
SLM (Shelf Manager) card: A pair of SLM cards will be installed in the first two slots
at the lower left side of CACU Chassis. These cards have smaller form factor than the rest
of 6 cards in the CACU Chassis. This card monitors the status of the CACU Chassis cards
and other health parameters of the Chassis like temperature and fan status. The Shelf
Manager and Controller slots house the management Agent software and aggregate
management related information like equipment, infrastructure alarms, and traps for
sending them to the Element Management System through the MLS slots.
NGTJ (Next Generation Gateway) card: Two NGTJ cards can be installed in any of the four
universal slots. The four slots after SLM cards are called universal slots. These cards can work as
combo gateways for SG/MG/V5/PRI. The two combo gateways can be configured with E1’s
distribution in different directions . Generally NGTJ cards are placed in first two universal slots.
EBM (Ethernet 16/32 E1 Bridge Main) card: EBM cards can be installed into any of the four
universal slots. These cards terminate the E1 links carrying the t r af f i c from the remote LAGU
(the MAX-NG upgraded RSUs) & convert this E1 traffic from remote LAGU to Ethernet traffic
& give it to MLS.EBM cards come in two variants-EBM 16 & EBM 32 which supports 16 & 32 E1
links respectively from remote LAGU. Generally EBM cards are placed in last two universal slots.
If NGTJ cards are not required then EBM cards can be installed in all four universal slots.
MLS (MAX-NG Layer3 Switch) card: A pair of MLS cards can be installed in the last two
slots. MLS card aggregates all the traffic of CACU from all cards & connected LAGU’s to CACU
& forwards this traffic to MPLS network via 1 GB optical uplink. MLS in slot 7 is active & in slot
8 is standby.
TSN (Temperature Sensor) card: Temperature sensor card. This card is pre-installed fixed card
at the top side of CACU Chassis with temperature sensors for each of 8 slots (including the 2
SLM slots).
14 C-DOT MAX-NG
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
The Universal slots are designed to house VoIP Gateway Boards (NGTJ
cards) and boards implementing bank of Ethernet-over-E1 Bridges. Traffic from
the four Universal Slots is collected in the MLS slots. The aggregated traffic is
then sent over redundant uplink ports to OCLAN/Tier-II/Tier-I switches in
the IP network over Gigabit Ethernet links.
IP ADDRESSES REQUIREMENT FOR CACU CHASSIS
Following is the distribution of IP addresses, considering the standard configuration of
CACU Chassis with 2 MLS cards, 2 SLM cards, 2 EBM cards and 2 NGTJ cards along
with one client terminal:
2 MLS cards: 6 IP addresses ( 3 IPs for each MLS card )
One GW IP for the N/w to which the S/w is connected.
One GW IP for other side of N/w connectivity to BSNL
One IP for S/w management (EMS).
2 SLM cards : 3 IP addresses (one floating IP and 2 physical IPs)
2 EBM cards : 2 IP addresses (one for each)
2 NGTJ cards : 12 IP addresses (6 IP addresses for each NGTJ card as given below)
1 physical IP address (eth0) for each NGTJ card
1 DSP IP address for each NGTJ card
4 virtual IP addresses for 4 Gateway applications in the order MG, SG, V5 and
PRI

connects to the IP network over Ethernet interfaces. IP/MPLS network is
available at each Central Module site but not at site of each Base Module.
Presently the only connectivity between Central Module and the Base Module is
the existing E1 PSTN links. In order to extend IP network to site of each Base
Module, these links have be used for carry IP traffic. A conversion device called
Ethernet to E1 Bridge (EEB) is required at each end of the E1 link to utilize the link
for carrying IP traffic instead of PSTN circuits. For simplicity of explanation, the
EEB can be viewed as an ‘Ethernet modem’ installed at each end of the E1 link to
convert the PSTN E1 linkto E1 link carrying IP traffic.
The remote BM is upgraded to LAGU having the internal EBM card. The IP
traffic at the remote LAGU is converted to PCM E1 signals by the internal EBM
module. The E1’s from the internal EBM card at remote LAGU terminate at the
EBM card in CACU Chassis in main exchange. Further the IP traffic aggregated
through the E1’s from different remote LAGU’s is carried to the BSNL MPLS
network through the Ethernet connectivity between the EBM card and Aggregator
switch (MLS) in CACU.
4. MLS (MAX-NG LAYER-2 SWITCH) CARD
MLS card is used as a general purpose Ethernet Switch in MAX-NG
The IP traffic from the NGTJ card and EBM cards in the universal slots is
aggregated through the MLS cards Ethernet ports. The SLM cards Ethernet
links also terminate over the MLS card. Additionally, the external node LAGU
IP traffic is carried to the MLS Ethernet ports. The MLS has uplink Ethernet
connectivity to MPLS network.
A pair of Aggregation Switch (Main LAN Switch) in 1+1 configuration
provides the Ethernet interfaces required for migration of MAX exchanges
to MAX-NG systems at Central location.

A button for selecting port LED mode is available on the board front, next
to the 4- high port LED mode indicator LED tower. By default, ALL
Port LED's indicate Link/Traffic and this corresponds to the 1st LED of
LED Tower (from TOP). Second LED of LED Tower (from TOP)
corresponds to Duplex/Speed.
FUNCTIONALITY OF MLS CARD
The 2 MLS cards will provide the Ethernet connectivity for the other CACU
Chassis cards. Also the external LAGU Chassis Ethernet connectivity is
provided by the MLS cards in 1+1configuration. From each LAGU NGTJ
card redundant Ethernet connectivity is provided to the two MLS cards. The IP
traffic aggregated by the MLS layer-2 switches is uplinked through the 1G optical
connectivity from MLS switches to the BSNL MPLS network.
5. TSN (TEMPERATURE SENSOR) CARD FOR MAX-NG
Temperature Sensor card for MAX-NG (TSN) is part of Shelf Manager of
MAX-NG CACUChassis. It senses the temperature of the individual slots of the
CACU Chassis (on which it is fixed) with the equipped hardware modules and
communicates the data to Shelf Manager Card (SLM) through an Inter-Integrated
Circuit (I2C) interface.
The maximum rated current for the TSN is approximately 15mA. The ambient
temperature range is from -55 to +125 degrees Celsius.
Following interfaces are present on TSN card:
4-pin I2C interface connector (J1)
Interfaced to the SLM card through the I2C interface.
FUNCTIONALITY OF TSN CARD
The eight temperature sensor chips on the TSN card provide the digital
temperature at each of the CACU cards slot. The temperature is read by SLM
card through the I2C interface with the TSN card. The 11-bit digital temperature
data can be measured at a resolution of 0.125 degrees Celsius

Introduction
1.1 11.7. PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF THE DOCUMENT
This document provides the general description of C-DOT Line Access Gateway unit
(LAGU). It also provides information regarding Hardware and Software architectures,
specifications, pre-requisites and installation procedure in different chapters.
11.8. INTRODUCTION
C-DOT DSS-MAX comprises of 256-port RAX, SBM RAX and MAX-L and MAX-XL.
Majority of the 256-port and SBMs have been converted to ANRAX and RSUs
respectively, with inherent advantage of centralized administration/ maintenance at the
local exchange level. With the emergence of Voice-over-IP (VoIP) and convergence of
services over IP, telecom operators intend to evolve its PSTN network to an all IP
network using IP/MPLS technology.
Evolution path to next generation network for most carriers in the world is based on IP
technology. Converged voice, video and data services will be provided on the core network
using IP protocol. Telecom operators would like to migrate with minimum disruption in
subscriber services and protect the investment made in the existing networks.
11.9. BACKGROUND
The main aim of C-DOT MAX-NG project is to upgrade the inherent technology of DSS-
MAX from TDM to IP for existing subscribers. DSS-MAX comprises of Central
Module(CM) & Base modules(BM) . CM does the switching function among the BMs and
BM consists of various Terminal Units (TU) to accommodate various types of interfaces. A
single BM consists of following terminal units.
ATU – Consists of analog subscriber line termination Cards
ISTU—Consists of ISDN subscriber line termination Cards
SU –To handle CCS7 Signaling
VU—To handle V5 interface
DTU—To interface with digital trunk(PCM)
TSU—Time switching Unit
BPU—Base Processor Unit.
In MAX-NG architecture CM module is completely removed & a new centralized IP based
switching unit is developed, called as Soft Switch which will be installed in a Central
location.
Various Access gateways have developed to handle the functionalities of various Terminal
Units.
Line Access Gateway (LAG)—This gateway is responsible for TDM
switching and to convert Time Division Multiplexed (TDM) voice
samples to IP packets. Thus it provides the IP domain access to the
existing analog subscribers.
PRI Access Gateway (PRIGW)—This gateway provides the interface
with ISDN PRI EPABX.
V5 Access Gateway (V5AG) -- This gateway provides the interface with
ANRAX or RLC to handle V5 subscribers.
Signaling Gateway (SG) & Media Gateway (MG) – These gateways
take care of CCS7 Singling & Media part.
This document describes the details of Line Access Gateway (LAG) architecture and the
conversion process.

System Architecture
11.10. ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW
The bulk part of existing DSS-MAX hardware is Terminal Unit (ATU) in which
subscribers lines are connected. In MAX-NG architecture this ATU hardware is retained.
LAG is implemented by connecting the Terminal Units (ATU) to NGTJ Card which acts
as a Gateway for interfacing with IP network. NGTJ card is capable of converting time
division multiplexed (TDM) voice circuits to IP packets and vice versa. These IP packets
are delivered over Ethernet links to IP network.
Thus Line Access Gateway (LAG) basically consists of Line TUs, TSI and Access Gateway
Module (NGTJ).
11.11. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
11.11.1. TU Configuration in LAG Architecture
The Analog Terminal Unit (ATU) is used for interfacing 128 analog line
terminations. TU consists of terminal cards (also called as Line Cards) having
interfaces up to 8 subscribers. The 8-bit digital (voice) output of four Line Cards is
multiplexed to form a 32-bit channel, 2 Mbps PCM link – also called a terminal
group (TG). Since a Terminal Unit has a maximum of 16 Terminal cards, there are
four such terminal groups.
The signaling information such as origination detection, answer detection, digit
reception etc. is separated by a scan/drive logic circuit and is sent to the Signaling
Processor (SP) on four different scan/drive signals. After validating these events, SP
reports these signals to Terminal Interface Controller (TIC) for further processing.
Based on the information received from TIC, it drives the event on the selected
terminal through scan/drive signals.
Terminal Interface Controller (TIC) controls the four terminal groups (TG) of 32
channels and multiplexes them to form a duplicated 128-channel, 8 Mbps link
towards NGTJ card. In concentration, three other Terminal Units share the 128-
channel link towards the NGTJ card to have 4:1 concentration. Figure 2 shows the
hardware architecture of a single Terminal Unit.

Output:
User Management:
There are four types of users in C-DOT IEMS :
i) Super User i.e. root
ii) Site Administrator
iii) Exchange Administrator
iv) Exchange Operator
A site can have at most 1 administrator but administrator can administer more than one
site.
The Exchange Users are of two types –
i) Exchange Administrator
ii) Exchange Operator
A site administrator can create and delete exchange administrator. Exchange
administrator can create or delete exchange operator. Root user only can add or delete a
site administrator.
The user management can be done by invoking the Site Management menu from Tools
menu of the client frame. The site user can be created by clicking the Create Site User
button and exchange users can also be created by clicking the Create Exchange User
button. To remove the user the Remove User button is clicked.
For example suppose there is Site-1. Under this site-1 there may be multiple LAGs. Say
NUH is the name of a site & Nuh-main, Ujina & Para are names of LAGs under site NUH.
Thus it is now possible to allow some operator to access multiple LAGs of a same site or
restrict its operation to a single LAG.
Trouble Shooting
1. No dial tone in subscriber
Check whether Voltage (-48v) is present in the line
Check whether the line is in service or not using GUI.
Verify TIC of the corresponding subscriber is in service or not
Ensure that DSP IP is getting pinged from LAG.
(If DSP is not getting pinged, check the LAN connectivity.)
Check lag –v process is running or not. LAG to work properly ,this process should be
running.
Sh-2.05b#./ ps -ef|grep lag –v
If lag –v process is found ,it means lag is working fine.
If lag –v process is not found, restart the lag.
Sh-2.05b#./cd /etc
Sh-2.05b#././lag_shutdown.sh 1 (option 1 for simplex NGTJ and 2 for duplex)
Sh-2.05b#./lag_restart.sh
2. Dial Tone is there on subscribers BUT INTER LAG and other network calls are failing.
Here Intra LAG calls are running.
Telnet LAG IP
Enter login & password
Type
$ chroot mmc
$ cd /tmp
Now view the file lag_init.log (tail –f lag_init.log). If it shows level 4 up, It means LAG is
up & but connectivity with Soft Switch is down.
For inter LAG and other network call level 5 should be up.
Ping Soft Switch from LAG.
If Soft switch is not getting ping from NGTJ card, then check the LAN connectivity

Introduction
13.1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF THE DOCUMENT
This document provides the description of C-DOT NGN network elements and operation &
maintenance activities that have to be performed by BSNL officials (at exchanges). Details
about MAX-NG network would be there in subsequent chapters.
13.2. INTRODUCTION TO MAX-NG
With the emergence of Voice-over-IP (VoIP) and convergence of services over
internet, service providers need to migrate from their TDM based PSTN network to an all-
IP network using IP/MPLS technology. Evolution path to next generation network (NGN)
for most service providers worldwide is the creation of an optical network at the core.
Converged voice, video and data services will be provided on the core network using IP
based protocols. Service providers require migration from existing TDM based PSTN
network to the all-IP network with minimum disruption in subscriber services.
As almost 50% BSNL’s PSTN switching network is based on CDOT DSS technology,
CDOT has developed cost effective MAXNG solution on the same line for migration of this
entire legacy network to all IP network. The up-gradation approach is to evolve the CDOT
DSS technology to Soft Switch controlled VoIP. The MAX DSS systems are being
converted to VoIP based systems with minimal hardware replacement and ANRAX is
connected to the core nodes of the MAXNG systems through V5AG. Maximum
functionality is being implemented in firmware and software to ensure cost effectiveness of
the solution. MAXNG solution retains the line termination circuits, which constitute a
substantial portion of existing equipment cost, to reduce the migration cost for BSNL.
MAXNG solution is based on de-linking call processing and service logic functions in the
MAX DSS systems from media paths and moving them out to an external Soft Switch. The
Soft Switch is modular. The Class 5 module implements Local Exchange functions, while
the Class 4 module implements the Tandem functions. All calls are presented to the Soft
Switch as SIP based calls. The Digital Trunk Media and the SS7 functionalities are also
not retained in the switch and are performed by the specially defined NGN nodes viz
Trunk Media Gateway and the Signaling Gateway. All the access nodes of MAXNG system
interact with the centralized node- Soft switch, in standard SIP protocol. The media (data,
voice & video) and its associated signaling messages are carried in the form of IP packets in
the network.
In essence, the modifications in MAX hardware and software are confined to handling the
subscriber interface and the remaining call processing is carried out by the other NGN
components of MAX-NG solution. This architecture permits retention of existing terminal

units for only as long as they are necessary in the BSNL network without having to retain
the associated back end processing modules.
CDOT MAXNG also supports ADSL interfaces which can be additionally added to the
MAX and AN-RAX systems for providing broadband services at much higher bit rates to
the existing fixed lined customers. The data and voice services are carried on the same local
loop and are separated at customer premises and Exchanges by using Splitters. With this
ADSL approach customer can have one high speed data access along with voice service on
same telephone line.
In rural area, CDOT MAXNG solution provides wireless broadband service based on Wi-
Max technology.

ANNEXURE-I: PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONS
Problem 1:
Intra-LAG calls are not connecting.
Solution:
i) Check the status of card whether card is in Level 4 or Level 5.
ii) Check the status of tic cards and line cards. This may happen that particular tic card of
particular frame went out of service. If so, make tic card in service.
iii) Check whether mmc is corrupted or not.
iv) If mmc is corrupted or not mounted/mounting, replace corrupted mmc by prepared mmc.
v) If any other problem related to dial tone or call not connecting, give hard reboot to NGTJ card
and check connectivity to core network. Card should come in Level4 or Level 5 depending
on the connectivity.
vi) Check DSP IP and ping active DSP IP. DSP IP must be reachable.
vii) If still problem persists, give hard reboot to NGTJ card of which procedure is given in
Annexure.
viii) Change NGTJ card by new card and check dialtone.
ix) Check type of NGTJ card which should be AE3 at Access sites and as per the BOM. With
Serial Number also on card, Type of card is mentioned.
Problem 2:
Inter-LAG calls not connecting.
Solution:
i) First check intra-LAG calls.
ii) If intra-LAG calls are working, check Level and connectivity of access network to core
network.
iii) Follow solution of Problem 1 if intra-LAG calls are not connecting.
iv) Check connectivity to core network such as C5, SBC and C4 from access network for example
Thin Client PC.

Command to check connectivity:
# ping <IP Address of C5 Softswitch>
# ping <IP Address of SBC>
# ping < IP Address of C4>
Softswitch IP of corresponding core site may be 10.187.0.15 for Gurugram Core Site, 10.187.1.15 for
Chandigarh Core Site, etc.SBC IP of corresponding core site may be 10.187.0.12 for Gurugram Site,
10.187.1.12 for Chandigarh Site.
If core site is not connecting, for reachability of core site traceroute command is used.
#traceroute <IP Address of core node>
#traceroute <IP Address of Class 5 Softswitch>
Note: IP Address of C5 Softswitch may be 10.187.0.12 for SBC, 10.187.0.15 for C5 Softswitch
for Gurugram Core Site.
v) Check the type of SFP connectors which may be SC, LC, and FC of
wavelength 1310nm, 1550nm. Make and wavelength at both sides MLS
side and Transmission end should be same.

Solution
i) Check the status of DSP.Ping Active DSP IP of the particular card.Entry is in lag_sys.conf file.
ii) If DSP is not pinging or pinging with packet loss, give soft reboot to NGTJ card.
iii) If problem is not solved, there may be problem in DSP of NGTJ card.
iv) Replace faulty NGTJ card by working NGTJ card.
Problem 4:
Subscribers are not having dial tone in particular frame.
Solution
i) Check status of tic card.TIC card may be in out of service state. Make tic card in service.
ii) Check PSU, TIC, SPC, TUI and LCC cards of particular frame.
iii) TIC, SPC, TUI and LCC card may be faulty. Replace faulty cards by working cards.
iv) Check status of particular subscriber.
