F-0614 GSM Support (RFC 3551)
...
Payload types support RFC3551
The Codec GSM-FR can be implemented on the IMG using Vocoder Profiles 6 and 7. Refer to the topic Setting Host Flags in the related topics section below on how to set Host Flags to support Feature F-0614.
GSM-FR payload type can be either static or dynamic.
The dynamic payload types are selectable in ClientView between 96-127. The Static payload types are an option for older equipment which may need the older payload types. They are selectable between 0-95.
The configurable Payload sizes in ClientView are 20ms, 40ms, and 60ms
The GSM-FR codec will be supported on the voip modules that are using the Mindspeed chips only
There is no AnnexB support in GSM-FR Codec
The Codec GSM-EFR (Enhanced Full Rate) is not supported at this time.

F-785 Q.1912 Support for SIP-ISUP
...
Currently, IMG supports SIP and ISUP Interworking that complies with RFC 3398. This benefits ANSI SS7/ISUP network users. Feature F-0785 will add the interworking between SIP and ISUP, which covers basic call (signaling) conversion and procedure that follow ITU-T Q.1912.5 (03/2004).

F-0848 ClientView Auto Save
...
ClientView AutoSave feature gives the customer the option of auto saving the configuration file they are using at different time intervals from 1 minute up to 5 minutes. ClientView AutoSave will prevent losing data when users forget to save their configuration file or if there is a some unknown circumstances such as power failures or host reboots. The AutoSave feature can be enabled and disabled from the "Configuration" object in Clientview.

F-0967 ARP Caching for Non-Gateway Destinations
...
Feature F-1065 gives the IMG 1010 the ability to connect to an SD card through use of FTP application. When an IMG is so remote that it does not have the ability to connect to an ftp server it relies on loading software from an SD Card. The SD Card is a small memory card much like the memory cards used in digital cameras and other devices. The IMG has an SD card slot positioned on the right hand side of the front panel just below the USB port. The SD card up to software 10.3.x has the ability hold a software build on it. Up till software 10.3.x the only way to access and edit the information on the SD Card would be to physically go to the remote IMG, pull the card out, insert it into an SD Reader, and edit it that way. A new feature has been implemented for software build 10.5.0 which provisions the IMG as an FTP server instead of just an FTP client. This gives the user the ability to transfer files to and from the SD Card using the ftp utility. The IMG running as an ftp server is disabled by default and would need to be enabled through ClientView in order for the functionality to work.

F-1195 Allow More Than 4 SS7 stacks (IMG 1010 only)
...
Feature F-1195 gives the customer the ability to configure up to 16 stacks per GCEMS. Each Logical IMG Group supports creating four SS7 signaling stack objects under it. The SS7 stacks can be created all under one physical IMG 1010 or can be spread out under multiple physical IMG 1010's. Any combination of stacks can be created under the Logical IMG. SS7 stacks cannot be created if the IMG configured is not under a Logical IMG Group. See related topics below which explains this better with tables etc.

F-1226 Low Density Gateway
...
Feature F-1226 introduces the IMG 1004 platform for System Software build 10.5.0. The IMG 1004 is a low density gateway in the IMG product family. The key purpose of the platform is to support standalone Voice over IP Gateway features, which shall include both Time Division Multiplex (TDM) and Internet Protocol (IP) interfaces. Like the IMG 1010, the design shall be sufficiently flexible to allow routing of calls over any of the available interfaces, including combinations of TDM-IP, IP-IP and TDM-TDM. The IMG 1004 supports configuring from 1 to 4 spans on the TDM side and a total of 128 VoIP channels on the IP side. The IMG 1004 will operate on the 10.5.0 software required to run the IMG 1010 and will support most of the functionality currently residing on the IMG 1010.

F-1273 SDP Support for Prack (RFC 3262)

An invalid SDP message will be ignored by the IMG
The IMG will accept a valid PRACK message which has invalid SDP information embedded. It will discard only the SDP portion of the PRACK message. (Media parameters will not change.)
The IMG does not support sending out a PRACK message with the SDP information embedded.

F-1274 SIP Privacy Header Enhancements (RFC 3325)
...
With this feature the IMG changes the way SIP Privacy is configured. SIP Privacy is a way for trusted network elements operated by the service providers to communicate the identity of the subscribers to such a service, yet also need to withhold this information from entities that are not trusted when necessary. Such networks typically assume some level of transitive trust among providers and the devices they operate. SIP Privacy is configured in two separate objects in ClientView and the second is configured is under the Profiles object in ClientView. SIP Privacy can be enabled on some trusted gateways and not on others. For more information on configuring etc see the related topics section below.

F-1285 ClientView Button to Collect Logs
...
Support personnel often need to collect log files from the IMG in order to troubleshoot a problem or issue that may have occurred. Within ClientView an object named Support can be created under the Dialogic IMG EMS object. Once the Support object is created then the ability to collect the log files is made very simple. When implementing the Support object and collecting the log files, all the log files created under each Logical and Physical IMG under ClientView will be compressed into one file and transferred to the GCEMS server where it can be uncompressed for viewing.

F-1294 Reason Header Interworking (RFC 3326)
...
Up till software 10.3.3 the IMG had the ability to propagate the Reason Header in each of the above messages from the TDM leg of the call to the SIP leg of the call. The Reason Header would indicate why a SIP request or response was issued. In software 10.5.0 the ability to propagate the Reason Header from the SIP leg of a call to the TDM side of the call was added. The Reason Header Field in each of the SIP messages is used primarily for debugging problems in a circuit. Clients and servers are free to ignore this header field as it has no impact on protocol processing. The Reason Header Field satisfies RFC 3326. The Reason Header field now gives the customer the ability to propagate cause code information from SIP to TDM and TDM to SIP without having to configure SIP-T.

F-1327 CAS Stats to the Host
...
There are certain statistics such as Cacti (10.5.0), MRTG, and Channel Group Call Statistics that are available to the host. The host queries the IMG and the IMG reports the data being queried using specific log files. These log files are designed to provide Support Personnel with key information used to identify the operational status of the system. The statistics are kept on a per object basis and are stored in a separate directory. The statistics files are stored in a Microsoft® Excel spread sheet format so that they can be easily viewed and manipulated. Feature F-1327 adds CAS information that is sent to the host for processing the statistics.

F-1332 RCOMM State for All Nodes Per Node

Feature F-1332 RCOMM State for all nodes per node enhances how RCOMM is displayed and also adds a few alarms that will appear in EventView. RCOMM is signaling that occurs between each of the IMG nodes within a Logical Node Group. An example of RCOMM signaling is when there is a master SS7 node that is controlling CIC's on other remote nodes it is the RCOMM messaging that accomplishes this. See Related Topics below for more information on this feature.

F-1361 ISDN to SIP UUI Support
...
The information is transferred transparently through the network and does not have any effect on the call. The IMG supports UUI for multiple protocols. On the TDM side UUI is supported between ISDN to ISDN, ISDN and SS7, SS7 to SS7. On the VoIP side UUI is supported in messages between ISDN and SIP. In the ISDN to SIP scenario the IMG will interwork the UUI parameters into the SIP INFO message.

F-1369 IMG Licensing in 32 Port Increments

The IMG and various components require a license to be operated or enabled. The licenses are generated at the factory and are distributed on one of the software discs supplied with IMG. Each license will unlock different functionality in the IMG and the licenses are sold in different increments to cater to different customers needs. Feature F-1369 reduces the incremental value in which the licenses are sold. In order to accommodate the IMG 1004 the value was decreased to 32. The license will need to be transferred to /opt/cantata/common/licenses directory which is located on the GCEMS server.
