1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE OF THE DOCUMENT
This document covers compatibility between OmniPCX Enterprise software releases and
Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise applications.
The goal of this document is to provide relevant information regarding compatibility of the Omni product to marketing, sales and pre-sales people, and project managers or leaders of Alcatel-Lucent Business Partners in order to manage evolution of customer
configurations.
This document does not replace ACTIS regular configuration tools which must be used to define hardware and software changes when migrating former software releases of OmniPCX Enterprise, R6.1, R6.2, R7.0, R7.1, R8.0, R8.0.1 and R9
This document does not replace feature lists or product descriptions for the various Omni
Products mentioned above.
This document is limited to:
• Released application (Technical Releases).
• Released OmniPCX Enterprise Releases.
Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise strongly recommends that customers upgrade to the latest
software release (OmniPCX Enterprise R9.0)
Regarding applications, Alcatel-Lucent recommends upgrading the applications to the
last release, in order to benefit from the latest improvements. This document will be revised at each new OmniPCX Enterprise software version (Technical Release)
1.2 IMPROVEMENTS AND ADD-ONS
Phase-out policy
Information in this document conforms to the phase-out policy defined by eND CSBU/ Product Marketing in July 2000.
Information given in this documentation is provided only for products that are still supported as of October 2008. Maintaining customer configurations that include outdated products is not feasible, as they no longer have any support from Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise.

3. HOW TO USE THIS DOCUMENT
Contents of document:
This document summarizes information used to prepare a customer for an OmniPCX Enterprise/4400 software upgrade.
Determine the target OmniPCX software release you want to provide to your customer.
For each OmniPCX software release, you will find:
• Hardware compatibility versus OmniPCX Enterprise release.
• The minimum version of application which runs with the targeted release.
• Information about application environments (operating system, minimum PC configuration, etc.) and the way to upgrade such an environment.
This document is a Business Partner document and should not be given directly to end-users.
3.1 WHICH APPLICATION MUST BE MIGRATED DURING OMNIPCX SOFTWARE
UPGRADE?
This document will help you to check the Omni application and related hardware platform, which must be upgraded when upgrading OmniPCX Enterprise/4400 software.
3.1.1 Prerequisite
Before quoting any “Omni” software upgrade, you must first make an on-site check of the installed configuration.
All upgrade processes require the following information:
• OmniPCX 4400/Enterprise configuration, i.e. MAO, .SW… file of the customer installed configuration in order to use them with ACTIS configuration tool.
• Existing Alcatel-Lucent 4400 Crystal hardware/Common hardware, such as CPU type, installed board, …
• Carefully check the 4635 Voice Mail system, if applicable.
• For all existing Alcatel-Lucent applications, major release number (such as 4.2) and minor suffix number (ftxx).
• For non-Alcatel-Lucent applications, you may need to contact the software editor in order to define the operation to be carried out to allow their application
to work properly with the new OmniPCX Enterprise. Alcatel-Lucent commitment for interoperability with non-Alcatel-Lucent applications is limited to AAPP
• Remember that the Alcatel-Lucent “Professional Services” organization is able to provide a “proof of concept” service which tests the target configurations and appropriate acceptance tests with your end user customer. For more information

No customer configurations should be upgraded to this release.
The following chart provides the minimum required application release for each OmniPCX software release. You can check if you need to upgrade this application when you upgrade the OmniPCX release.
Minimum application release assumes that when migrating an OmniPCX Enterprise r “x” to OmniPCX Enterprise r “y”, services available on the target configuration will be at the level that was available before migration. Careful analysis must be performed when supplementary services are required on target configurations. Such requirements may imply application migration to a more recent release.
Note that it is strongly recommended to upgrade applications to the latest software release. By doing so, customers benefit from feature and application improvements. This information conforms with the phase-out policy.
Note 1 : End of life has been pronounced by April 2006 – No more technical support is provided. The alternative solution is the OmniTouch Unified Communication “My Messaging”
Note 2 : The Release R7.0 is compatible with the version R5.2.10 of 4635H2 or 4635J (VPU5). Restriction : the IMAP4 function must be used with the version R5.2.6 of 4635’s

6. INTERNAL COMPATIBILITY ISSUES
6.1 COMPRESSION RESOURCE COMPATIBILITY ISSUES
When upgrading a networked configuration where voice compression service is
implemented, the pre-sales and sales force must be aware of the following compatibility issues:
LIO P/B/X LIO/P/B/X-2 LIO E INT IP GD
LIO P/B/X Comp6 Y Y (Note 1) N N N
LIO/P/B/X-2 Comp 2 Y Y
Y (See restriction below)
Y (See restriction below)
LIO E Comp 2 Y N (note 2) N (note 2)
INT IP GIP 6/GIP4 Y Y
GD MCV/MADA Y Y
Note 1: Possible voice quality issues.
Note 2: see commercial package for upgrade toward INT IP
6.2 VOICE OVER IP COMPATIBILITY ISSUES WHEN IMPLEMENTING NEW SERVICES
6.2.1 Framing 20ms for voice over IP
Voice framing occurs every 20ms when using the G729A or G711 algorithm.
This improvement provides a:
• Dramatic increase in the speech quality.
• Significant decrease in transit delay in networked configurations. Thus providing
the same transit speed as "direct switching over ABC network" provides. But transit is only available on INT IP (not on GD)
This framing rate is available only on INT IP and GD boards and is not compatible with any former LIO compression resources.
Note the following:
• Configuration of "framing 20ms" is a "per system" configuration parameter. (This means that every VOIP communication on the system is framed every 20ms).
• 20ms framing is only available on INT IP and GD boards and is not available on
other LIO devices.
This means that activating 20ms framing on an existing network replaces all compression resources over the ABC network, including:
• LIO-E and LIO-TSC.
• LIO-P, LIOB, and LIO X (comp 6 based).
6.2.2 Remote LIO must be upgraded to ACT- IP.
20 ms framing will not be compatible with VoATM based on BBC 2. Interoperability between VoATM and VOIP is not released on OmniPCX Enterprise.
All rights reserved. Passing on and copying of this document, use and communication
of its contents not permitted without ALCATEL-LUCENT written authorization.
6.2.3 H323 services introduced since OmniPCX 4400 R4.2
OmniPCX 4400 R4.2 provides new H323 services (see release description) allowing the use of the H323-compliant protocol in ABC F2 over IP (H323 inter-node feature) and services such as "fast start", External Gatekeeper, Internal Gatekeeper, services… for ABC F2 over IP communications.
When requiring this operating mode, users must consider the following issues:
• "H323 inter-node" feature is only available on INT IP.
• "H323 inter-node" is a per system configuration parameter.
• Every node of a network must be configured according to this operating mode, this implies that every OmniPCX 4400 R4.2 running this feature for ABC F2 over IP must be configured with INT IP blades.
6.2.4 Voice over IP and direct RTP switching with OmniPCX Enterprise
Echo cancellation depth is 64 ms as of R6.0 / R6.0.1/ R6.1/R6.2/R7.0 (32 ms before R6.0 /
R6.0.1)
Echo cancellation depth is 128 ms in R7.0 using GIP4 / MADA daughter boards

Direct IP switching in network
Direct RTP is a feature that allows direct RTP communication between endpoints without requiring the use of a compression resource from the call server.
Direct RTP is available in the following cases:
• Between two endpoints belonging to the same node.
• Between two endpoints belonging to different nodes connected by IP VPN internodes links. This configuration is called "direct RTP in network".
The advantage of direct RTP, especially in a network, is that RTP flow does not transit in any way through call server compression resource, transmission delay is minimum and only related to voice processing (at endpoint level) and network delay.
Direct RTP mode must be configured for these reasons and particularly when a Common Hardware (GD board) is used. This is due to the fact that configuring transit across this resource involves a compression/decompression cycle that often leads to unacceptable overall transit delay.
Configuration of Direct RTP must follows these "rules":
• Direct RTP must be activated across the entire IP PCX network
All rights reserved. Passing on and copying of this document, use and communication
of its contents not permitted without ALCATEL-LUCENT written authorization.
Before R7.0, direct RTP cannot be used in the following cases:
• Communication involving pure H323 devices like softphone application, or Z over IP devices such as Audiocodes MP1xx devices.
• Communication will transit on the Call Server and a compression resource will be allocated during the communication, in this case careful design of the network dimensioning must be performed.
• Mixed OmniPCX Enterprise and OmniPCX 4400 nodes due to the fact that Direct RTP in network is not available before OmniPCX Enterprise R5.0 Lx.
6.2.5 Direct RTP with H323 equipments
Release 7.0 allows to use Direct RTP for H323 equipments and all OmniPCX Enterprise H323 Gateways (MGDs, GA, INTIP) for voice and Fax T38.
H323 direct RTP is also available for equipment supporting the Fax over IP (Audiocode MP1xx), H323 Gateways of carriers, the My Phone application in VoIP Nomadic.
• The management of H323 direct RTP on OmniPCX Enterprise must be carefully enabled since all H323 terminals of the installation must be able to reroute the H245 RTP flow called "Empty Terminal Capability Set" or "Voice Path Replacement".
• In ABC-F networked configuration, all the nodes must be in Release 7.0 or higher to benefit
the direct RTP for H323 terminals on all the nodes.
• No direct RTP between SIP set and a H323 terminal.
• No direct RTP between H323 terminals with different compression algorithms (for instance case of H323 terminal in G723 or G729 calling a 4645 in G711).

o broadcasting of the database and not carry out any audit,
o on the Release 7.1/8.0 node, sending of the names in UTF-8 format in the network must be prohibited (set the Enable UTF8 in ABCF network system parameter to False).
• Cohabitation in a single sub-network of a Release 7.1 with Releases < 5.0 Ux, 5.0 Lx is not authorized.
If using a CCS multi-site, each node must be in Release 8.0.
As of Release 7.0, the number of entities and IP domains changes to 1000 (in Releases < 6.2,
the number of entities is 255). In a network, these limits are allowed only if each node of the network is in Release 6.2 or higher.
From Release 7.1 and on each node of the network (whatever their version) cohabiting with R7.1:
• LIOE and TSC-LIOE boards must be replaced by INTIP boards. • INT1and INT2 boards must be replaced by INTOF/INTOF2 boards.
If one node of the network is in XL configuration, all the node MUST be in release R8.0.
As of Release 8.0, some provisioning are increased. To use the new values, all the nodes MUST be in R8.0 or above. Entities: more than 1000 entities can be used only in a release-homogeneous network.

6.3.1 Reminder on boards supporting the Transit function and the direct RTP
The Transit function allows a reduction in the time introduced by a compression and decompression. This function is only available with the G723 and G729 algorithms.
Support of transit function (4) Support of direct RTP function
LIO P/B/X COMP6 (1) (2) No Not applicable
LIO P/B/X COMP2 (2) Yes Not applicable
LIOe (3) No No
INTIP or INTIP2 Yes Yes
GD or GA No Yes
(1) The LIO-COMP6 board is not compatible in R6.x and R7.x. It is not authorized in a network with INTIP or GA/GD.
(2) The LIOP/B/X boards are supported by Release 7.1 but can no more be configured for addition or for new installation.
(3) The LIOe board is no more authorized in heterogeneous network.
(4) There is no transit in G711 but packetization/depacketization.
6.3.2 Delay (in one direction) introduced by IP gateways
In G711: approx. 100 ms (60 ms for an IP Phone (e-Reflexes/ series 8))
In G729: approx. 120 ms (70 ms for an IP Phone (e-Reflexes/ series 8))
In G723: approx. 150 ms (90 ms for an IP Phone (e-Reflexes/ series 8))
Transit: approx. 20 ms (there is no transit in G711)
6.3.3 Delay (in one direction) from an IP Phone towards a set behind ACT or eMG
In G711 In G729 In G723
approx. 80 ms approx. 100 ms approx. 120 ms
6.3.4 ABC-F2 compatibility depending on the hardware and the type of configuration used (with or
without compressed voice)
The table in paragraph 7.3.4.2 presents cases of connection allowing an acceptable audio quality to be obtained (greater than index 3 of the MOS). The prohibitions in the table are not linked to problems setting up calls, only to obtaining an acceptable audio quality.
In this table you will find a summary of the different configurations authorized in ABC-F2 (from an audio point of view) between Releases 5.0 Ux and 7.1. This table takes into account both a connection in VoIP and a T2, T0 or T1 type wire connection.

Rules used in the tables
Note :
In this document, "Direct RTP" corresponds to "Direct RTP in network".
• A maximum delay of 200 ms "One way" (one way, IP equipment + network) is authorized through IP (400 ms in Round Trip Delay). Beyond that, voice quality deteriorates.
• There can not be more than two passages in G711 during a call (100 ms + 100 ms).
• The LIO P/B/X boards are prohibited once there are Media Gateway boards (except in certain
cases where the connection is made through a Crystal IP Media Gateway).
• The LIOe are not supported with Release 7.1 nor on any node of a network cohabiting with
Release 7.1 (whatever their versions even they allow it).
• H323 terminals are only compatible with configurations which allow to have a maximum delay of 200 ms "One way".
• Release 7.x allows to use Direct RTP for H323 equipments and all OmniPCX Enterprise H323 Gateways (MGDs, GA, INTIP) for voice and Fax T38.
• The management of H323 direct RTP on OmniPCX Enterprise must be carefully enabled since all H323 terminals of the installation must be able to reroute the H245 RTP flow called "Empty
Terminal Capability Set" or "Voice Path Replacement".
• In ABC-F networked configuration, all the nodes must be in Release 7.0 to benefit the direct RTP for H323 terminals on all the nodes.
• No direct RTP between SIP set and a H323 terminal.
• No direct RTP between H323 terminals with different compression algorithms (for instance case of H323 terminal in G723 or G729 calling a 4645 in G711).
• Only a single compression & decompression is authorized (use of the G723/G729 algorithm and one or two transits).
• Two compressions/decompressions are authorized only in cases of a call on VPN overflow (only used in an emergency).
• In certain configurations with two compressions/decompressions, there are palliative solutions to get to a configuration with one compression/decompression + transit.
• The table takes into account configurations using the G723/G729 compression/decompression algorithm or configurations that do not use compression or which are in G711.
• With the IP rack server, there are considered to be at least two IP items of equipment (1 GD + 1 IP Phone or 2 GDs).
• SIP is not authorized in configurations if the Direct RTP is disabled.
• The internode VoWLAN calls (via VoIP hybrid link) are not authorized if the Direct RTP is disabled.
