Introduction to SIP TG Provisioning MOP T-Mobile upgraded its Core Network to the Next Generation Internet Protocol (IP) Technology in order to reduce Operating Expense (OPEX) across the nation. T-Mobile deployed Core Network Switches (MGCFs) using two vendors Alcatel-Lucent (ALU) and Ericsson (E///). Both vendors have completed software upgrades, and are ready for IP traffic migration. T-Mobile has chosen to deploy Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) signaling for Internet conferencing, telephony, event notification, and instant messaging. SIP Trunk Group (TG) Provisioning is new to T-Mobile Switch Operations. This Method of Procedures (MOP) will guide T-Mobile Switch Operations to successfully provision a SIP TG in each type of MGCF.
Customer Integration Questionnaire (CIQ)
SIP TG Provisioning MOP 3
Customer Integration Questionnaire (CIQ)
CIQ Information The CIQ is a formal document created by the Engineering Department. The CIQ provides Switch Operations the specifications to provision (build) a TG in a MGCF. The CIQ details each required parameter, and the correct option to build each TG.
CIQ Sections Alcatel-Lucent and Ericsson MGCFs have unique parameters and sections that are familiar to the Switch Operations Team. However, the CIQs contain the same basic information:
1. Media Gateway (MGW) IP Addresses and cabling information 2. Voice Over IP (VOIP) transmission group IP Addresses and parameter selections 3. SIP TG IP Addresses, and parameter selections 4. Codec information used to encode and decode messages 5. Performance settings used to evaluate and troubleshoot problems
CIQ Locations CIQs are stored on the T-Mobile InfoRouter accessible while connected to the T-Mobile network:
1. Alcatel-Lucent= http://docs.eng.t-mobile.com/InfoRouter/docs/~F259763 2. Ericsson= http://docs.eng.t-mobile.com/InfoRouter/docs/~F274076

Conclusion to SIP TG Provisioning MOP T-Mobile deployed Alcatel-Lucent and Ericsson MGCFs, to facilitate its next generation IP network. The T-Mobile IP network uses SIP signaling, requiring Switch Operations to build SIP Trunk Groups in each MGCF. SIP Trunk Group (TG) Provisioning is new to T-Mobile Switch Operations. This Method of Procedures (MOP) provides T-Mobile Switch Operations a set of instructions to successfully provision a SIP TG in each type of MGCF.
