2 Installing 2.1 Requirements for installing

Below given are minimum requirements, without which, this application will not function properly. So, before installing this application, please ensure these minimum requirements are met.

2.1.1 Hardware

Processor 1.6 GHz Minimum

RAM 512 MB for Windows XP 1 GB for Windows Vista

Disk Space 50 MB free space

Sound card Integrated sound card or USB headset

Note:

The above table lists the minimum hardware requirement. With additional hardware, you can establish many types of connections. Some of them are illustrated in point # 7.2 IP desktop Soft phone in different environments:

2.1.2 USB Headset USB (preferably USB2) Headset or a USB hands-free is an optional enhancement. By default, the application uses the default PC media devices (PC default microphone and PC speakers). When a USB headset is connected to the user PC with a sound card, IP Desktop Soft Phone can use it instead of the default media devices. When using the headset, the General tab of the Options menu allows the user to select a sound card for ringing and another one for voice. A USB headset connection can make the best out of this facility. You can set the options to send the ringing to the default media device, and voice to USB headset.

3.2 QoS Activation 3.2.1 Type Of Service (TOS)/DiffServ Differentiated services enhancements to the Internet protocol are intended to enable scalable service discrimination in the Internet without the need for per-flow state and signaling at every hop. A variety of services may be built from a small, well-defined set of building blocks, which are deployed in network nodes. The services may be either end-to-end or intra-domain; they include both those that can satisfy quantitative performance requirements (e.g., peak bandwidth) and those based on relative performance (e.g., "class" differentiation). Services can be constructed by a combination of setting bits in an IP header field at network boundaries (autonomous system boundaries, internal administrative boundaries, or hosts), using those bits to determine how packets are forwarded by the nodes inside the network, and conditioning the marked packets at network boundaries in accordance with the requirements or rules of each service. On IP Desktop Soft Phone, the CS using the UA StartRTP message configures this field automatically. So no manual configuration is needed. 3.2.2: 802 1P/Q Note: 1) 802 1P/Q is supported in Windows VISTA and Windows XP OS. 2) For Windows VISTA, please refer the release notes for Limitations.. For the 802.1P/Q (Ethernet Priority and VLAN tagging) use by IP Desktop Soft Phone, Alcatel-Lucent MUX-IM, Intermediate Driver should be installed and configured on the user PC.

• For Alcatel MUX-IM Intermediate Driver installation and configuration, refer to section #4 Alcatel-Lucent MUX-IM Intermediate Driver.

For IP Desktop Soft Phone used voice port, refer to 3.1 UDP Used Ports.

4 Alcatel-Lucent MUX-IM Intermediate Driver This section deals with the installation & configuration of: Alcatel MUX-IM Intermediate Driver 4.1 General Description 4.1.1 What is Alcatel-Lucent MUX Intermediate Miniport Driver The Alcatel-Lucent MUX Intermediate Miniport (IM) driver is an NDIS 5 driver that demonstrates the operation of an “N:1” MUX driver, i.e. one that creates multiple virtual network devices on top of a single lower adapter. Protocols bind to these virtual adapters as if they are real adapters. It implements IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, which is enabled by changing the default VLAN ID to a non-zero valid value. It also implements IEEE 802.1P Ethernet priority for voice packets. Thus, users can be parts of multiple virtual LANs with their computers. It is not necessary to have more than one Ethernet device: Alcatel MUXIM driver allow users, with only one Ethernet card to be part of different VLANs (2 Vlans: Data and Voice), and tag their packets according to their origin: Voice application or Data application. 4.1.2 Requirements

Alcatel-Lucent MUX Intermediate Driver is used only on the Wired Networks.

Alcatel-Lucent MUX Intermediate Driver needs a PC responding to the following requirements:

Requirement type Details Operating System Windows XP SP1 or later

Network card 10/100 Mbits Ethernet card (Only wired network cards: wireless network cards are not compatible with Alcatel-Lucent MUX Intermediate Driver)

4.2 Architecture

With Alcatel-Lucent miniport driver, PCs can belong to both Data Vlan and voice Vlan. Applications can then send data to data Vlan (data applications), and voice-to-voice Vlan (softphones). 4.3 Installation Procedure

The installation procedure must be done with administrator rights. 4.3.1 Requirement

• Two .INF files are needed rather than one because MUX is installed both as a protocol and a miniport.

• For each Ethernet connection already present, a new connection is added representing the Alcatel-Lucent MUX-IM Miniport driver. You can see in the figure below, an example of two added connections to the original connections (3 and 55 that represents two Ethernet cards on the computer)

4.4 Configuration 4.4.1 TCP/IP configuration

Each added connection replaces the old one, and should be configured the same way as the old one.

1. Select the new added connection. Right-click it and choose Properties.

SCREENSHOT 43 – MUX-IM Intermediate Driver: Virtual Miniport Driver #2 Value

Example: User Priority = 3, Vlan ID Data = 2, Vlan ID Voice = 3 and Voice Ports = 32514; 32518; 32512 According to this configuration, Alcatel-Lucent IM driver will tag with Vlan ID Voice “3” and User Priority “3” the UDP packets with port number equal to 32514, 32518 or 32512. All other packets (UDP or TCP) will be tagged with Vlan id data “2” and with priority “0”. If Vlan ID data is equal to 0, all data packets (not voice ones), will not be tagged neither 802.1p nor 802.1Q.

5. Once finished click on OK

6 Trouble Shooting The table below lists some of the problems you could face, along with their remedial measures:

# Problem Remedy 1. Connection establishment fails o Check if your network connection is

enabled. o Check that tftp address is correct and

make sure you reach it by a “ping” o You may be using the wrong network

adapter: check in “Network” tab using Options � Application menu

2. “Set is out of service” message is shown on IP Desktop Soft Phone screen

If you get this during the Installation, then one of the reason could be when the “IP-Soft phone Emulation” is not activated in the PABX: Ask your administrator to activate it in mgr >user>2nd level>TSCIP at PABX side

3. When the agent is logged-in, if the Softphone program is closed, or if the IP connection of the PC is lost, the Softphone set does not work. Instead, when it is opened, it gives the following message on the Soft phone’s screen: "Set not registered." To overcome this situation, we need to force log-off the agent, and re-open the Softphone program.

This is a normal behavior. However, to solve this problem, move the extension type from 4068 to 4037 for the Agent and set the following parameters: User ���� TSC IP User ���� IP-Softphone Emulation: YES

4. When logged in as IP Softphone agent, Softphone frequently disconnects with a message: "Set not registered."

In the Descend Hierarchy of Users, set IP Softphone Emulation to "No." To do this, login to the OXE (call server). Follow the path: Users ��������������� ���������Review and Modify �Directory Number (Enter the number of the terminal) ������������the list that displays, for Reset for update authorized, change the setting from "True" to "False."

5. VPN UAIP user is unable to communicate with another UAIP user on LAN environment.

Check the Firewall or the Access lists. Ensure that the ports used by the Softphone are OPEN (refer the Section: 3.1 for more details)

6. Noise during conversation Management to be performed at PBX end: System ���� Down Hierarchy ���� Other system param ���� Down Hierarchy ���� Compression Param ���� Review Modify ���� Voice Activity Detection : False.

7. The application does not initialize in laptops connected to LAN through VPN

This is due to problem in the LAN. Please contact your Administrator in this respect. May be due to network settings (firewall etc)

8. The application does not start with the system boot

Copy either the .exe file of the application, or its shortcut and paste it in the following directory: C:\Documents and Settings\user\ Start Menu\Programs\Startup
