Media Gateway and Network Requirements

MX-ONE 7.x supports media gateways, also remotely located, as described in the paragraphs below. The following limitations and observations must be considered in the MX-ONE 7.x release.

• A server shall only handle one type of HW based media gateway, MGU board but may mix with Media Server(s).

• Remote MX-ONE Media Server (running on a separate server) is supported.

• MGU on the same network segment handles shorter latency than MGU on different network segments. This is due to the ARP cache that is not implemented for single network segment.

• MX-ONE supports the possibility to specify which media gateway’s resources an operator shall use.

• MX-ONE supports the possibility to set own area code per media gateway.

• MX-ONE supports the capability to select outgoing trunk in calling party's own media gateway as first choice for a server.

• MX-ONE supports a load-balancing capability for the media gateway resources, i.e. seizure of media gateway resources in another media gateway, which may be either in the same LIM or in another LIM. Must be configured.
