ERICSSON MX-ONE TELEPHONY SYSTEM
Telephony Server 2.0, Media Gateway 2.0
and Media Gateway Classic 2.0
The Ericsson MX-ONE Telephony System is a serverbased IP-PBX, based on the Linux operating systeman
open source operating system capable of running realtime applications such as telephony.
This version is designed as a standalone IP PBX system.
Using Ericssons distributed architecture, the MX-ONE
Telephony System can be clustered with up to 10 servers,
thus allowing scalability for up to 7,000 users per
distributed single system. Additional clusters may be
networked over IP to allow virtually unlimited scalability in
a large network environment.
The MX-ONE Telephony System offers the following
features:
Support for IP terminals (phones and clients),
Digital trunk interfaces to public networks (PSTN,
PLMN)
IP networking or circuit-switched QSIG connectivity to
other MX-ONE MD110 voice networks.
The MX-ONE Telephony System consists of modules
called LIMs. Each LIM is composed of a Telephony Server
and a Media Gateway, or a Media Gateway Classic. In the
case of the Media Gateway Classic, the Telephony Server
is embedded on a board hosted by the Media Gateway
chassis.
It is centrally managed by the MX-ONE Manager, an
Active Directory-based management suite, and is
combined with Ericsson MX-ONE Communication
Organizer, offering IP-based operator functionality and
PC/Web-based call control applications. It also provides
integration with IT back-office applications, such as MS
Outlook and Lotus Notes.
The Ericsson MX-ONE Messaging application suite, also
introduced as a component of the MX-ONE Version 2
portfolio, offers complete voicemail and unified messaging
(voice/fax/e-mail) services. The suite includes integration
with MS Outlook, Lotus Notes and Novell GroupWise.
Additionally, the MX-ONE Telephony System can be
combined with the Ericsson Solidus eCare 4.1 MultiMedia Contact Center application suite for top-of-the-line
customer care services.
Typical deployment scenarios include expanding voice
networks with new (Greenfield) sites, replacing (forklifting)
older PBXs in the network, or when standardizing
communication equipment with a server-based solution.
The MX-ONE Telephony System comes pre-packaged
with 100/200 Advance telephony user licenses. Extra user
licenses can be added in increments of one user up to a
maximum of 700 users per server. A maximum of 7,000
users in a distributed configuration is available with this
software release. If purchased with the 19 chassis, the
user licenses can be any combination of IP, analog, digital
and Mobile Extension extensions.
MX-ONE Telephony Server 2.0
Major enhancements introduced with this MX-ONE
Telephony System release
The Telephony Server 2.0 application handles the call
control logic of the telephony applicationsuch as for
dialing plans, number conversions, call set-up and teardownwith the same business-class telephony services
currently available on the Ericsson MD110.
Scalability: From 1 to 10 nodes with a maximum of
7,000 users
The server appliance hardware on which the Telephony
Server application runs is in a pre-configured HP ProLiant
rack-mountable server. The server has the following
minimum configuration:
Support for the IP-based Operator Assistant
Intel Xeon G4P processor running at 3.4 GHz; 1024 MB
RAM; 72 GB HDD, with redundancy options for
duplicated CPU
Full support for Solidus eCare 4.1 Contact Center Suite
Full support for Mobile Extension
Enhanced feature support for IP terminals, including
boss/secretary monitoring and multiple directory
numbers with name selector (MNS) key system
emulation
Calling line identification display is supported on the
analog interface
RAID1 hot-plug disk drives; redundant fans; and
duplicated power supply
Support for T1 ISDN PRI
The Linux operating system, as well as the Telephony
Server 2.0 application software, is installed and preconfigured in this release.
Enhanced support of legacy interfaces (see MX-ONE
Media Gateway Classic)
MX-ONE Media Gateway 2.0
Media Gateway 2.0 offers the necessary telephony
interfaces for packet data networks (LANs), as well as for
public (PSTN/PLMN) and private (via QSIG) circuitswitched networks.
Media Gateway offers the following features:
Digital signal processors (DSP) to convert non-IP voice
signals to IP and vice versa (codecs)
DTMF tone generators and receivers
Eight T1/E1 network interfaces and four POTS analog
terminal interfaces to connect G3 fax machines or
emergency phones
MX-ONE Media Gateway
Classic
The Media Gateway Classic, a 19 rackable chassis, offers
the necessary telephony interfaces and DSP resources for
voice gateway calls to packet data networks (LANs), as
well as for legacy subscriber lines, such as analog and
digital terminals. It also provides T1/E1 trunk access to
public (PSTN/PLMN) and private (via E1-QSIG) circuitswitched networks. This new chassis integrates perfectly
into todays IT infrastructures and has a smaller footprint
than traditional voice systems.
In this configuration, the MX-ONE Telephony Server 2.0 is
supplied as a cardthe Embedded Server Unitthat fits
directly into the chassis, eliminating the need for a separate
server in the 19 rack. The classic chassis can hold any
combination of digital and analog terminals for up to a total
of 480 legacy subscribers per chassis.
MX-ONE Telephony Server Embedded Server Unit (ESU)
The Embedded Server Unit is an IA-32-based server board
embedded in the Media Gateway Classic with the following
configuration: Intel Pentium-M processor running at 1.4
GHz; 512 MB RAM; 20 GB HDD. The ESU performs
exactly the same functions and runs exactly the same
software as the Telephony Server.
Enhanced emergency call handling (e.g. E911/112)
Tightly integrated with a full suite of end-user and
management applications
Benefits
The MX-ONE Telephony System enables customers to
smoothly migrate towards a converged IP and mobile
infrastructure. Adding a new IP-PBX node in a network is a
future-proof investment, allowing cost reductions and
seamless integration between sites using Voice-over-IP
(VoIP).
This approach offers a variety of cost-efficient functions
when using IP phones (lower administration costs for moves
and changes) and Ericsson Mobile Extensions (control of
mobile phone costs and added telephony functionality for
mobile workers). Cost-efficient networking is attained by
reducing telecom costs using toll bypass with Ericsson IP
networking. Additionally, the Linux-based server approach
combined with the 19-inch building practice enables easy
integration into existing IT environments.

investment calculation.
Increased productivity
Seamless mobility with hot desking on either mobile
devices or IP devices (free seating, Ericsson Dialog IP
telephones, Ericsson Mobile Extension, Personal
Assistant PC)
Allows for branch office integration with remote IP
extensions giving the same look, feel and functionality as
main office, as well as reducing training for staff.
Provides a smooth migration path to next-generation
solutions with no disruptions or risks to existing
business.
Future-proof investment with pure IP solution running on
open-based platforms.
The MX-ONE Manager, MX-ONE Communication
Organizer and MX-ONE Messaging applications are
designed for tight interaction with todays IT applications.
This enables full convergence of voice and data into the IT
environment. It provides advantages from both the IT
management and back-office application integration
perspectives. This not only simplifies management of IT
environments, but also helps to reduce the total cost of
ownership.
