2  H.323 Trunks
The solution to this problem is to set up a separate signaling group for each trunk 
group, as shown in Figure 3. More generally, set up a separate signaling group for 
each set of trunk groups that have common attributes.

IP Softphone Problem Solving
Codecs used with 
NetmeetingVoice quality for the road-warrior application of DEFINITY IP softphone will vary 
depending on several factors. Poor voice quality can be caused by the use of the 
high-compression codecs (G.723 or G.729) in situations where the low-compression 
codec (G.711) should be used. This can happen unexpectedly when using...

3 C-LAN Administration
This chapter describes how to administer TCP/IP data connections between DEFINITY ECS 
switches using the C-LAN circuit pack. This chapter does not cover the use of the IP Interface 
circuit pack for H.323 connectivity.
Overview
This chapter provides an update of the R7 administration procedures, which were 
described in Chapter 2, “DCS Administration,” of issue 1 of this book. The R8 
changes...

Checklist for Prerequisite Administration
This is a checklist of things that need to be completed before you can proceed with the 
network administration tasks. Review this checklist before starting the administration 
tasks. 
4Checklist Item
The prerequisite administration needed depends on whether the system is new or 
is being upgraded from an R7 or pre-R7 system to R8. Use the...

3  Remove old circuit packs:
~Turn off the power.
~For the csi model, remove the Processor (TN798) circuit pack (Don’t 
remove the processor circuit pack if it is a TN798B).
~For the si model, remove the Processor (TN790), PACCON (TN778), 
and NETCON (TN777) circuit packs. If there are X.25 connections 
that the customer wants to keep, leave the PI (TN765) circuit pack in 
the switch;...

Configurations
The task descriptions are presented in six relatively simple configurations. Each 
configuration describes how to administer either a 2-switch connection or a 3-switch 
gateway connection. The procedures for administering these configurations can be 
used either individually or in groups as “building blocks” for constructing most 
networks involving DEFINITY ECS R8 and...

3  C-LAN Administration
TCP/IP connections (ppp or ethernet) require DEFINITY ECS Release 7 or later 
hardware and software. ISDN and BX.25 connections are supported on switches 
upgrading to R8 and pre-R7 switches can be connected to R8 switches via ISDN or 
BX.25. However, new systems will not be sold with X.25 connections. Therefore, all 
switches in the five configurations are assumed to be upgraded to...

In the hardware part of the diagram, the paths for voice and signaling data are shown 
by dashed or dotted lines. The data for voice and call-setup signaling usually takes a 
different path through the switch hardware from the path for DCS and ISDN signaling 
data. These two types of data are distinguished in the hardware part of the diagram by 
the following convention.
A dashed...
