Known Issues with
CS1000 4.5 and 4.0
Description BCM 3.7 and BCM 4.0 and
BCM50R1 BCM50R2
Notes:
• BCM50R1 does not support the TAT and NAS enhancement of the Nortel Networks
H.323 Interoperability format that was introduced in Succession 3.0 and IP Trunk
3.01 to accurately validate the trombone condition by comparing the unique gateway
id (MAC address or IP address) in the extended TAT information element in the non-
standard data of the H.225 Setup, Alerting, and Facility messages. The following
text describes what is necessary for TAT to function between these versions of BCM
and the Communication Server 4.5/4.0 and/or IP Trunk 3.01 call servers.
• In the absence of the extended TAT IE in H.225 messages received from BCM,
Communication Server 4.5/4.0 and IP Trunk 3.01 D-Channel/H.323 Gateway falls
back to comparing the Called and Calling numbers on the outgoing and incoming
side of the tromboned trunk connection.
• If the Called and Calling numbers on the two sides of the call don’t match, then the
TAT Invoke message from BCM is discarded regardless of matching Call Reference.
This prevents wrong connections that can occur due to false TAT optimization when
Call References assigned by different Gateways across the network randomly
matched for unrelated calls.
• Incoming calls to BCM that are answered and transferred within the BCM before
being routed in a trombone connection back to Communication Server 4.5/4.0 or IP
Trunk 3.01 will not be optimized by TAT because the Called and Calling numbers do
not match on the two sides of the tromboned call.
• In a private IP telephony voice network with mixed CDP Steering Codes and UDP
Location Codes, incoming calls to BCM that are forwarded using a different type of
number in a trombone connection back to Communication Server 4.5/4.0 or IP Trunk
3.01 will not be optimized by TAT because the Called and Calling numbers do not
match on the two sides of the tromboned call.
• BCM sets up a direct media path between the two ends of the tromboned connection,
but this can still result in multiple transcoding and voice quality degradation due to
media path loopback via Communication Server 4.5/4.0 Voice Gateway Media Cards
or IP Trunks.

Interop with ESN5 Signaling
Not Supported
Not Supported
Notes:
• Communication Server 4.5/4.0 and Meridian 1 with IP Trunk use ESN5 signaling
with MCDN to signal the Network Class of Service (NCOS) of the originating
terminal among Succession 4.0/3.0 nodes in order to control access to PSTN trunk
facilities at a remote Call Server and Media Gateway.
• The Nortel Networks Interoperability format introduced in Succession 2.0 supports
an extended ESN5 Information Element in the Non-standard data of the H.225 Call
Setup message, but BCM does not send optional ESN5 Information Element in the
H.225 Call Setup message.
• If ESN5 signaling is enabled on a Succession 4.0/3.0 IP Peer virtual trunk route, you
must configure an appropriate default NCOS value for incoming calls in Element
Manager from BCM to a Virtual Trunk route that has ESN5 signaling enabled.
• Succession 4.0/3.0 IP Peer H.323 Gateways insert a default NCOS value in the ESN5
prefix for calls received from BCM without the extended ESN5 information element.
