Hbrid Link over B Channel on Common Hardware

[mozi]

Hi I'm having problems to establish a hybrif link bedween a ACT and a Common Hardware. If I configure the same kind of hybrid bedween two ACT there is no problem. Both ACT are equipted with IO2 Cards.

making a Hbrid Trace on the common hardware shows that there is a problem with the IO2 Card. So do the Common Hardware need a kind of IO2 Board or is there a virtuell IO2 Board on the GD?

I have recently finished a disparate location ABC VPN Link with following enviroment.

1x ACT (M2+INT-IP) 6.1.1
4x Common (L rack +GD+MADA3) 6.2.2

I am no guru on the IO2 board. Presuming, you can ping every part of the network, CS, GD, INIP. What version of OS for each system? Any compatible issue?

Here is the quote from System Document 6.2

Setting Up an ABC Link through IP
The ABC link through IP is based on a hybrid logical link with VPN overflow on IP. Signaling is exchanged between the Ethernet interfaces of the Com Servers. Voice flows are exchanged between IP boards (GD, GA or INT-IP A) using the H.323 gateway feature of these boards.

The principle is as follows:

The two nodes are connected by a hybrid logical link:

With an IP signaling channel between the Ethernet interfaces of the Com Servers,

From the local node, the IP signaling channel activation requires configuration of the hybrid logical link access with the remote node IP address. In case of a remote node with one single Com Server, the IP address to declare is the physical IP address of the Com Server or its main IP address. In case of a remote node with Com Server duplicated, see ABC Link through IP between Nodes with Duplicated Com Server.

With no B channels.

On each node, an IP trunk group is declared on the H.323 gateway of a GD, GA or INT-IP A board.

Using VPN overflow and ARS, voice flows are directed to the IP trunk group.

The IP support is used in the same way as any other voice resource. Supports other than IP can therefore be selected for ARS.

Hope this will help.

For common hardware you cannot use hybrid link with B-channel signaling (absent IO2 feature).
IO2 (or OBCA) extract signaling from B-channel and send to CPU. In common hardware CS have only IP connection with GD.

I wonder if D-channel signaling would work with this scenario?

Hybrid link with D-channel signaling? Works without problem.
