1: Overview This chapter gives you a general overview of the Tenor® Carrier MultiPath Switch (CMS), including feature descriptions and capabilities. You will also find information about the organization of this product guide. Specifically, the following topics are covered:...
The Tenor Carrier MultiPath Switch (CMS) is a high-density VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) H.323 switch that digitizes voice and fax data and transmits it over the IP network. Tenor CMS is available in three configurations: CMS (14 slot), CMS960 (8 slot), and CMS240 (2 slot); each is a slotted, scalable system that intelligently switches calls over both the IP network and the PSTN in order to ensure high quality voice.
T1, E1, and DSP functionality in the same card. Through the System Controller/CPU card, you can connect a PC’s console port as well as an Ethernet hub, switch, or router. In addition, the System Control- ler/CPU card provides one 10/100BaseT Ethernet port.
If the network conditions for an IP call become unacceptable—according to the delay and packet loss specifi- cations you configure—Tenor CMS will switch the call to the PSTN automatically and transparently. The Tenor CMS continuously monitors your data network for jitter, latency and packet loss, and transparently switches customer calls to the PSTN when required.
Tenor CMS unit, or another H.323 endpoint. The gatekeeper’s function- ality complies with the H.323 industry specifications for voice control and management. See H.323 Gate- keeper Services, later in this chapter, for more information. P/N 480-0005-00-15...
Through the Command Line Interface (CLI) management system, you can view a list of active system alarms, as well as view an alarm history. Each alarm indicates the chassis’s operational status. Tenor CMS is also SNMP-capable with HP® Openview™ support. P/N 480-0005-00-15...

The Tenor CMS unit acts as an SNMP agent—using HP Openview—to receive commands and issue responses to the network manager. The network manager will then be able to perform certain functions, such as receiving traps from Tenor CMS.
Through the border element, gatekeepers from multiple zones will be able to communicate. A border element also establishes relationships with other border elements to route between administrative domains. If a gatekeeper cannot resolve an address, it contacts the border element.

This chapter tells you how to use and manage Tenor CMS’s Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) feature, which is managed via Hewlett® Packard’s HP Openview Network Node Manager. Specifically, this chapter tells you how HP OpenView auto-discovers a Tenor CMS unit, as well as generate SNMP traps for existing alarm messages.
The Tenor CMS unit supports the SNMP protocol; specifically, Hewlett® Packard’s HP Openview software acts as the SNMP network manager for the Tenor CMS unit. Once you set up HP Openview to view and “auto-discover” Tenor CMS as a network device using SNMP, HP Openview will be able to issue commands, get responses, and perform certain functions.
Installation Requirements You will need to install and run HP Openview NMS 6.0 in order to recognize the Tenor CMS as an SNMP agent. Below are basic hardware and software requirements you will need to install HP Openview. See your HP Openview documentation for detailed information and installation instructions.
Chapter 5: Working with SNMP Installation There are two steps you need to accomplish before HP Openview can interact with a Tenor CMS unit as an SNMP agent. • Download and install HP Openview configuration files specific for Tenor CMS •...

Through Tenor CMS’s Command Line interface (CLI), you can configure the IP address for the network man- agement site where HP Openview is running. Once the IP address is configured, the Tenor CMS will be able to process and generate traps for existing alarms, which will enable HP Openview to monitor the Tenor CMS unit for alarm states.

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is a technology which enables voice and fax communications to be passed through your existing data network using the TCP/IP protocol, bypassing the PSTN. The Tenor CMS switch contains a DSP (Digital Signal Processor), which takes the voice and fax data coming from a Line Circuit, compresses it, and converts it into packets that can be transported over the Ethernet LAN.
