The MTA 3080 is the ideal digital gateway solution
for a service provider's small and medium-sized
enterprise (SME) customers who use a PBX with
a T1 interface. Its Ethernet-based interfaces
provide the flexibility to interoperate with any
broadband network, and the MTA 3080 is compatible
with SIP 2.0-compliant softswitches.
The MTA 3080 has rich features to make it very
easy for administrators install and provision.
A web-based GUI offers complete control through
a browser, enabling remote and local administration.
In addition, the MTA 3080 supports remote software
upgradeability making it very easy to upgrade
to add new features and enhancements. Other features
such as detailed system event logging, call detail
records, and real-time active call status indicators
give administrators a complete pulse of the MTA
3080's health at any time.
FEATURES
The MTA 3080 has a rich feature set that
makes it a much more compelling solution compared
to other VoIP products. These additional features
give the Digital Gateway family a unique advantage
over other competitive devices.
Provisioning
Remote management and provisioning capability
is a key requirement for any service operator
deploying hundreds of devices in the field. This
not only makes managing devices easier and more
efficient, but also reduces the potential for
errors that can arise in manual configuration
of each device. Devices typically have many different
configurable parameters, such as call agent address,
time server address, digit maps, firmware version,
etc. Various tools allow a service operator to
remotely administer such settings.
Configuration File -
The MTA 3080 supports provisioning using an ascii
configuration file. This configuration file can
be stored on a remote server to be accessed by
the MTA 3080 to retrieve its settings and upgrade
instructions.
HTTP Provisioning - The
MTA 3080 can be provisioned by an HTTP-based provisioning
server such as InnoMedia's VSP5K. This system
uses XML-based instructions to assign parameters
to the MTA.
Script-based Upgrades
- Firmware for the MTA 3080 can be updated using
a script-based approach. This not only saves bandwidth,
but also reduces the time needed to apply firmware
updates over the WAN. This reduces device downtime
and increases availability for calls.
Diagnostics
A typical concern for many service operators managing
remote devices at customer premises is diagnostics.
Namely, if a service call comes in, how do the
support personnel quickly ascertain the cause
of the problem? The MTA 3080 has many features
that make it easier to determine the cause of
a problem so that measures can be taken to correct
it.
ISDN Cause Codes - ISDN
standard cause codes are provided in real-time
call detail records for disconnected calls. This
is helpful for understanding why a specific call
was dropped. For example, cause code #17 would
indicate that the number dialed was busy.
Syslog Events - Standard
syslog events are generated and sent to a server.
Problematic events such as a faulty upgrade process
or failing DSP are immediately detected by the
gateway and a log is generated and sent to a syslog
server specified by the administrator.
VOIP Network Status -
The status of the 3080's connection to the VOIP
network is easily determined via the web interface
or through a visual check of an LED on the front
of the unit.
VOIP Features
VOIP DID - VOIP DID allows
the MTA 3080 to send incoming VOIP calls directly
to internal extensions of the PBX. This feature
preserves the behavior of the original PSTN DID
lines, so that incoming calls are handled in the
same manner.
Hunting - For installations
that require multiple devices, the MTA 3080 supports
both VOIP line hunting and PSTN line hunting(if
subscribed). This enables customers to easily
add additional capacity if and when it becomes
necessary.
