The Communication Server 1000E (CS 1000E) product is an IP-based
communications system that lets customers distribute a large number of
telephony users throughout their QoS-managed IP network, controlled by a
Call Server.
The CS 1000E is a highly scalable and robust IP PBX that offers support of IPbased
applications using industry-standard Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
and H.323 protocols, while providing an industry-leading set of telephony
features and applications. The system supports a wide range of IP telephony
devices, such as IP Phones, Media Gateways, and soft clients for desktop,
tablet, and PDA devices.
With the CS 1000E, customers can evolve from a traditional TDM network to
a converged IP network. Deployment is seamless because the CS 1000E
integrates with existing PBX systems from Nortel and third parties, which lets
customers expand the size and functionality of their networks while preserving
their investment in other Nortel equipment, such as Nortel Meridian 1 PBX,
and Communication Server 1000 systems.



 

With CS 1000 5.0, the CS 1000E can be equipped with either a Common
Processor Pentium Mobile (CP PM) processor or an external CP PIV
processor.
The CS 1000E is available in two system platforms:
‡ Standard Availability (single processor ± available with CP PM only)

Protocol (SIP) on the same Signaling Server platform. SIP is a protocol
standard used to establish, modify, and terminate conference and telephony
sessions in IP networks.

   

Communications reliability is critical to the operation of any business. A
number of capabilities are available with Communication Server 1000E (CS
1000E) to ensure that telephony is available when one or more of the following
situations occur:
‡ A hardware component fails
‡ A software component fails
‡ The IP network suffers an outage

c ,


The Communication Server 1000E (CS 1000E) provides several levels of
redundancy to ensure that the telephony services can withstand single
hardware and network failures. Communication Server 1000E (CS 1000E)
provides the following component redundancy:
‡ Redundant CS 1000E Call Servers:
² The health of the active Call Processor can change or manual
intervention can cause control of call processing to switch from one
CPU to the other using a Graceful Switchover, leaving all call
processing states intact.
‡ Signaling Server software, including SIP Gateway, H.323 Gateway, and IP
Phone software:
² If the master (Leader) Signaling Server is unavailable, a Follower
Signaling Server becomes the IP Telephony node master.
² Signaling Servers share set registrations (load-sharing).
‡ H.323 Gatekeeper:
² If the Primary Gatekeeper is unavailable, an Alternate Gatekeeper can
be configured (automatic database synchronization).

² If the Primary and Alternate Gatekeeper are unavailable, a Failsafe

Gatekeeper can be configured (for each Signaling Server).
‡ H.323 Gateway interface to Gatekeeper:
² If the Leader Signaling Server fails, a follower Signaling Server
becomes the H.323 Gateway.
‡ Redundant Network Redirect Servers:
² Provide admission control and endpoint address resolution for
networks using either SIP or H.323 protocols.
