Can somebody define Media Gateway briefly, i mean i read description of MG but could not found how many users/ext a single media gateway supports?? can we use more than one media gateway in a single system????
Thanks
Use of MG not description

The MG board is the main board of common hardware.
Without this board, there is no power.
This board handle all the binaries for all the other boards.
This board handle all the VoIP communication if you have compressors.
You can use more than 1 MG in a system of course.
I believe all the numbers you are looking for are in the system documentation.

How we calculate if we need more than on MG?? How many/Maximum VoIP user one MG supports?? If you could answer these 2 question i really appreciate.....
Can you point me the exact document where could i found these questions??? i was reading different docs but could not found naswers of these questions?

A mediagateway (MG) is a collection of max 3 19" racks, that can hold several boards.sinner wrote:How we calculate if we need more than on MG?? How many/Maximum VoIP user one MG supports?? If you could answer these 2 question i really appreciate.....

In one MG, there is always a GD board available that controls the whole MG.
Your question how many IP users are supported by one MG isn't easy to answer.
All depends on the equipment used in you OXE environment.
Do you use IP-phones only, do you use analog/digital sets, how many T1/E1 connections for incoming and outgoing calls will you use etc.
Like Frank already said, the configuration tool of Alcatel-Lucent, ACTIS, will take all these questions into account and calculates the necessary number of boards, racks and mediagateways for your configuration.
Tell your need to your Alcatel-Lucent business partner and hey will be able to provide you with all the things you need.

Thanks freedom for the info... I need to calculate how IP users/Analog users effect no of gateway in the system...Can you point me exact document showwing this calculation??? i could not found a doc which describe that...lets say i have 1200 analog users with 06 ISDN PRI and 80 PSTN analog lines with full automated attendant then how many MG would be required??

Sinner,
I don't have a document for this kind of calculation. You should use (or let someone else use) the ordering tool from Alcatel-Lucent, Actis, to calculate this. It all depends on all the options you need in your OXE. Actis will take hundreds of calculation and design rules into account to calculate the exact number of MG needed.
If I look at your number of users, there is already one issue.
With common hardware (Small and Large racks), you'll not be able to have more then 1000 analog users in one node.
So if you really need 1200 analog users, you would need crystal hardware (even with "just" 1000 analog users on one site, I would recommend crystal hardware over common hardware.)
Just for you to have a comparison with common hardware:
=> For an OXE with 1000 analog users, 80 PSTN analog trunks and 6 ISDN PRI, Actis will calculate 13 large racks (Attachment OXE_1.jpg).
Because 3 large racks can be connected to form a mediagateway, this would mean 4 mediagateways that consist of 3 large racks and 1 mediagateway that consists of 1 large rack.
=> For an OXE with 1200 IP users, 80 PSTN analog trunks and 6 ISDN PRI, Actis will calculate only 5 large racks (Attachment OXE_2.jpg).
Because 3 large racks can be connected to form a mediagateway, this would mean 1 mediagateways that consist of 3 large racks and 1 mediagateway that consists of 2 large racks.
=> For an OXE with 1000 analog users AND 1200 IP users, 80 PSTN analog trunks and 6 ISDN PRI, Actis will calculate 13 large racks (Attachment OXE_2.jpg).
Because 3 large racks can be connected to form a mediagateway, this would mean 4 mediagateways that consist of 3 large racks and 1 mediagateway that consists of 1 large rack.
=> Using crystal hardware for an OXE with 1000 analog users AND 1200 IP users, 80 PSTN analog trunks and 6 ISDN PRI, Actis will calculate 2 ACT-28 and 1 ACT-14.
Of course these examples will only give you an indication for the number of MGs you need. This will also depend on the other options you might want to have in your OXE.

Hi freedom, thanks for the info.
By saying "Because 3 large racks can be connected to form a mediagateway" does that means one MG is required for 03 large racks??? for 4th large rack(if more expansion is required) i have to choose another media gateway???
2nd how many small racks needed to form a media gateway?

yes, you're right.kondalisa wrote:By saying "Because 3 large racks can be connected to form a mediagateway" does that means one MG is required for 03 large racks??? for 4th large rack(if more expansion is required) i have to choose another media gateway???
small racks are only caclulated by actis software as extension rack in case of special hardware (rmab-board or in case of callserver(cs) duplication for the 2'nd cs).kondalisa wrote:2nd how many small racks needed to form a media gateway?
and finally, i've only one thing to say...
---> trust actis <---

Keep in mind the following:
1 rack = 1 shelf with possibly up to 9 boards. for the Main shelf, the most important board is the GD ( Gateway Driver), this is the one enabling the entire shelf to be powered and providing also switching matrix.
for the expansion shelf, the similar most important board is called MEX.
Anyway, as long as their position and number, your presale engineer will provide you with config file containing all theses details.
