1 Executive Summary
MX-ONE Telephony System is intended to be used as a Branch office to an ASB
501 04 system. The system consists of an ITU-T H.323 compliant packet based
voice communication system and it is designed to fit into the existing infrastructure
of a modern enterprise LAN (Local Area Network). This saves the cost of operating
an additional network for voice.
The enterprise LAN must be based upon the IEEE 802 Local and Metropolitan
Area Network family as data link layer, where the MX-ONE Telephony System
supports IEEE 802.3 more known as Ethernet, and, on top of that running the
Internet Protocol (IP).
To the end user, the MX-ONE Telephony System is transparent in comparison with
the classic circuit switched PBX. Number dialing and terminal interaction is the
same with the same array of services and functionality found in a classic circuit
switched system. This means that most well known features and services are
available for the end user via IP telephones.
The MX-ONE Telephony System comes with vast networking capabilities. The
combination makes integration into the existing infrastructure easy, and, the
flexibility of the MX-ONE Telephony System makes it scale very well for networked
Branch offices.
The MX-ONE Telephony System also provides the enterprise with a step-wise
migration from the classic circuit switched Private Branch Exchange (PBX) into a
converged voice and data network.

2 System Overview

2.1 General
MX-ONE User Manual

This section gives an overview of the MX-ONE Telephony System with its
components, terminals, services and features. Together they form a fully featured
enterprise telephony solution for deployment in the enterprise LAN environment.
For detailed information on the components, terminals and so on, please see later
section in this document or in separate documents in the library. For example, for
descriptions of the individual features see description for FEATURE LIST and for
capacities of the system and the individual features, see description for
CAPACITIES .

2.2 Architecture

The core of the enterprise network is based upon IEEE 802, more known as
Ethernet, preferably in a switched architecture with capabilities of high-grade
quality transmission. The Quality of Service (QoS) capability of the data link layer,
Ethernet layer, is the fundamental base for low delay and packet loss, parameters
of great importance for voice services running over packet networks.
The network layer, IP layer, must also satisfy the Quality of Service needs of an IP
based voice system running in a converged voice and data network.
The entities of LAN switching and IP routing are not part of the MX-ONE Telephony
System offering as such but are rather the pre-requirements of a functional system.
The QoS capabilities of a modern enterprise LAN are matched in the network
elements of the MX-ONE Telephony System. The end-to-end Quality of Service for
voice services over IP can therefore be met and the transition to packet based
voice is secured.
MX-ONE User Manual

Figure 2-1. Architectural overview

2.2.1 MX-ONE Telephony System

The MX-ONE Telephony System is composed of a Telephony Server and a Media


Gateway.
Combined together they constitute the basic H.323 functionality of call signaling,
call control and media streaming/media conversion. Connected to the enterprise
LAN they provide voice services over IP in the IS/IT environment.
MX-ONE User Manual

The Telephony Server and the Media Gateway are to be treated as one system
component inseparable from each other. The Telephony Server is based upon
open standard hardware and run on a commercially available operating system.
The Media Gateway is an embedded device traversing the speech from TDM to IP
and vice versa.

2.2.2 End-user Terminals

To the voice end-user the MX-ONE Telephony System solution offers H.323
endpoints in the form of wired IP phones and H.323 compatible IP clients.
The wired IP phones must be supplied from Ericsson to ensure the highest level of
featured functionality but can be of any brand, supporting the open standard of
H.323. It is also possible to connect four analog extensions. They can be used for
legacy phones for emergency or elevator courtesy phones or group 3 fax machines
intended for indoor use for example.

2.2.3 Networking Capabilities

In this context, networking means to provide voice services over network links to
other entities of PBXes. The intra connectivity over private ISDN is according to
ITU-T ISDN signaling over the Q reference point, more known as QSIG.
One major gain with the MX-ONE Telephony System is the networking capabilities
over IP based networks.
Implementing QSIG over H.323 over packet based IP networks, to supply basic
and supplementary services transparently, makes networked PBXes possible over
IP intranets and also over the Internet with appropriate protection.
Networking PBXes over IP cut costs related to the TDM-based leased line.
Furthermore it simplifies Branch office scenarios to more fit the data network model
with IP connected Branch Offices.

3.1 Telephony Server


MX-ONE User Manual

3.1.1 General

The Telephony Server consists of software loaded on a standard server platform. It


is recommended to use a server grade hardware (HW) with sufficient redundancy
in memory and hard disks etc.
The software consists basically of the following parts:

• The telephony applications

Software that executes the call handling and has full control of all ongoing
calls and resources in the Media Gateway. For detailed information on the
telephony functions, please see description for FEATURE LIST and see
description for CAPACITIES .

• The service system

Middleware that interfaces the telephony applications. For a detailed


description, please see 2.3.2 Service System .

• The Linux operating system


• The hardware (Intel x86/.IA32)
MX-ONE User Manual

Figure 3-1. Telephony Server

3.1.2 Service System

The Service system includes the following functions used to support the
applications:

• Start and restart of the Telephony System


• Data backup
• Handling of alarms
• Handling of telephony licenses

3.1.2.1 Start and restart of the Telephony System

System start
The purpose of the system start is to put the system into operation after major
program packages have been installed.
Initial load and start
MX-ONE User Manual

At the initial load and start, values are assigned to data to activate the system
functions.
Initial load and start is divided into the following steps:

• Loading or starting program units


• Initiating system data either from a terminal or from a command file
• Entering commands to deblock the virtual device boards in the Media Gateway

Manual restart
Manual restart is used to initially set dynamic data manually in order to correct
faults that have occurred in the system.
The following can be manually restarted:

• The system

All program units are restarted. All traffic in the exchange is stopped and all
connections that existed before the restart is disrupted.

• Program units

Each stated program unit is restarted.

• Virtual device boards

The restart is carried out by an activation request from the device-handling


program to the stated board.

A manual restart is initiated by a command and the result is presented on the


connected terminal.

3.1.2.2 Backup

Data backup
The Data backup function is used to backup and restore exchange data.
The following types of exchange data can be restored:
MX-ONE User Manual

• System configuration data


• Application data (for example, extensions and trunks)

The system can store five backup versions. If there already exist five versions
when a new backup is created, the oldest version is removed.
Data backup is initiated by a command or done periodically and if it fails, an alarm
will be sent.
Safety backup
Safety backup is executed via a backup script.

3.1.3 Configuration

3.1.3.1 Program unit configuration

Every program unit has a name and a unique program unit number. Every program
unit also is assigned a set of characteristics and this set of characteristics defines
the program unit type. Examples of such characteristics are whether the program
unit handles device boards or not or if the program unit is issuing alarms.
Information on program unit types and the sets of characteristics can be obtained
from the system.

3.1.3.2 Hardware configuration

The Media Gateway has only one physical board but the device boards are
emulated (virtual boards).
Information on existing device boards can be printed, for example:

• Board type
• If the board is blocked or not

It is also possible to receive information on certain resources on the Media


Gateway, for example, revision information, virtual device boards, auxiliary devices
as well as information on the Media Gateway itself.
MX-ONE User Manual

3.1.4 Features

3.1.4.1 Functional Change

The Functional change feature is used when a modification program package is to


be put into service. The purpose of the feature is to carry out the following as
smoothly as possible:

• Correct errors in the software


• Change/add functions in the software
• Update the software

The feature performs the following:

• Prepares the system for program unit change


• Adds new program units
• Switches to the new program units
• Ends program unit change
• Displays program unit change information, for example, which version is active or
passive and the revision states of the old and new versions

3.1.4.2 System Supervision

The System supervision feature is used to:

• Control the performance of the supervised objects


• Detect faults
• Initiate fault correction measures
• Isolate faults

Supervision of execution signals and times


The system supervision feature supervises the execution signals and times in the
traffic and background level.
All signals are checked before they are allowed to start executing in a program
unit. If any fault is found, the signal is not executed and the job is discarded. The
faulty signal is stored for manual fault investigation.
MX-ONE User Manual

If the signal is correct, the execution in the program unit starts. If the program unit
is looping more than the allowed time, the execution will be interrupted and the job
discarded. This is called execution time out.
Disturbance counter
A disturbance counter reflects the quality of the program execution. The counter is
incremented a number of steps each time a fault occurs. The number of steps
depends on the severity of the disturbance.
An alarm is sent when the first execution fault occurs after start or restart and when
the counter exceeds the maximal allowed value. The counter is periodically
decremented to avoid exceeding the value.
Program unit administration
A program unit is handled separately on the following occasions:

• Unsuccessful restart
• Unsuccessful reload
• Some other problem has caused a request for restart

If a program unit fails at restart, it is blocked for signaling.


Restart of virtual device board
The restart is activated by a request from the program that administers the virtual
device board. Two attempts are made to restart the board, if both are
unsuccessful, the board is blocked and an alarm is issued.
Reload
The following types of reload exist:

• Reload of system
• Reload of program unit
• Reload of data

All commands altering exchange data and program code are stopped at a reload.
When the permanent errors have been repaired, a reload takes place.
Data reload always takes place in the entire system. During the start phase,
program units are informed about the connections between dynamic and reload
MX-ONE User Manual

data. This is to give the program units the possibility to update these connections.
An alarm is issued to inform about the data reload. If the data reload or the start
phase fails, an alarm will be issued.
Blocking
Blocking is used to isolate a faulty program unit in the system and thereby avoiding
fault situations until the fault has been repaired. The program unit is taken out of
traffic and will not receive any signals.
The consequences for the system depend on function of the program unit. When a
traffic executing program is blocked, any calls from the board are ignored and the
users connected to the board are taken out of traffic.

3.1.4.3 Signal Tracing

The signal tracing feature is used for fault location. The feature implements the
trace error log and the general trace function and stores signals transported in the
interfaces or text items generated by the program code. Up to fifteen signal traces
can be specified simultaneously.

3.2 Media Gateway

3.2.1 General

The Media Gateway is used to convert the media provided in the Switch Circuit
Network to the format required in the IP network or vice versa. For this, the Media
Gateway contains the bearer control protocols and hardware devices for network
access termination and media stream manipulation.
The Media Gateway is equipped with the following devices.

• 8 E1 interfaces (ISDN, QSIG)


• 4 analog extension interfaces (analog phones and G3 fax)
• 2 Ethernet (10/100BaseT) interfaces for signaling and media
MX-ONE User Manual

The Media Gateway design is based on packet (cell) switched platform


incorporating all the required network interfaces and media handling resources.The
Media Gateway makes it easier to use active (simultaneous) VoIP channels for
large numbers of IP extensions. The VoIP Channels have, and as well as

• Echo Cancellation
• Comfort Noise Generator (CNG)
• Voice Activity detection (VAD)
• Auxiliary resources, for example, DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequency)
sender/receiver, tone sender and conference bridges

3.2.2 Major Functions

Analog interfaces
It is possible to configure the software for analog connections.
Group 3 fax terminals can be connected to the POTS interface and when fax data
is to be sent over an IP network, only G.711 codec mode is supported (that is, put-
through mode). This means that when the data is recognized as fax traffic by the
Telephony Server, the selection of speech codec will be forced to G.711.
ISDN/QSIG
The 30B+D (I.431) format is supported. The D-channel signaling support conforms
to I.441 (30B+D) Layer 2 specifications.
Note The layer 2 specification of QSIG is the same as ISDN. Only the layer 3 is
different and handled by the system application SW in the Telephony Server.
Normally one of the 8 E1 interfaces serves as clock master for the Media Gateway.
If this E1 interface is lost, another E1 interface is selected as clock source.
VoIP
The Media Gateway is involved only in the conversion of the RTP packet into TDM
data, or vice versa. This is used for gateway calls. The ISDN signals are
terminated in the Media Gateway and the layer 3 signals are sent to the Telephony
Server for further processing.
For the RTP packet, G.711, G.729AB or G.723.1 speech codecs are supported
with dynamic packet length from 10 ms to 30 ms in steps of 10 ms.
MX-ONE User Manual

VAD for silence code generation and CNG for better speech quality, are supported
and can be enabled per call.
Static jitter buffer is also supported for maximum 240 ms buffer length. The buffer
is configurable and allocated on per call basis.
Maximum 60 active (simultaneous) VoIP channels are supported and it is possible
to select arbitrary codec mode for each channel.
Echo Cancellation
The Media Gateway supports echo cancellation complying with ITU-T G.168
standard.
The echo canceller implemented in the DSP is mainly used for the VoIP traffic but
can be attached to any traffic. The echo cancellation algorithm manages up to 128
ms tail length with minimum 20 dB attenuation.

3.2.3 Application and Networking Environment

The IP media is transmitted over the corporate LAN while the Media Gateway
communicates with the Telephony Server via a dedicated 10/100BaseT Ethernet
link carrying call/media control and connection protocol on top of TCP/IP.
The E1 interface provides access to both public (PSTN) and private networks. The
networking protocol for the PSTN is based on ISDN while the networking protocol
for the private network is based on QSIG Basic Call (QSIG Generic Functional
Protocol (GFP) for supplementary services).

3.2.3.2 Interfaces and Resources

Ethernet and IP Interface


There are two 10/100BaseT Ethernet ports in the Media Gateway, one port is
dedicated for the Telephony Server-Media Gateway communication and the other
is dedicated for transport of realtime and other IP packets, for example, voice
packets.

3.2.3.3 Interworking with Telephony Server

Start/restart
The Media Gateway is booted from the network at start up. At initial power up or
system restart, the bootstrap logic first performs the necessary hardware
initialization (serial interface, flash parameter settings and Ethernet interface
(signaling only port) etc.). The bootstrap logic for Media Gateway startup/restart is
stored in the flash memory. Then the software is retrieved from the Telephony
Server.
Interfaces with the Service System
The interfaces with the Service System are mainly related to the basic platform
functions, including the operating system functions, but the interfaces are also
related to the application dependent configuration and alarm functions. The
following interfaces exist:

• IP interface

For communication between the Telephony Server and the Media Gateway.

• Virtual board interface


MX-ONE User Manual

For addressing, switching and controlling virtual board devices. Examples of


virtual board interfaces are:

o Board control interface

SW-HW interface used for control and restart of virtual boards.

o Media control interface

For control of switch connections.

• Operation and maintenance interface

For handling messages for alarm as well as status reports and supervision
between the Telephony Server and the Media Gateway. The following
messages are defined:

o Tracing of messages

For tracing of this interface in the Telephony Server. It is possible to


call trace down to the hardware level.

o Media Gateway configuration fetch

The virtual board configuration is fetched from the Media Gateway at


initial start of the Telephony Server.

o Media Gateway polling interface

The Media Gateway is polled regularly for alarms, which also serves
as a heartbeat between the Telephony Server and the Media
Gateway. The Media Gateway reports alarms, a list of alarm
categories and a list of corresponding alarm texts.

o Media Gateway maintenance interface


MX-ONE User Manual

The information about restartable/reconfigurable resources in the


Media Gateway is fetched. Restart or reconfiguration of the Media
Gateway can be requested through this interface.

3.2.3.4 Auxiliary Functions

Key code (DTMF) Receiver/Sender


The Media Gateway supports the in-band signaling sending and detection based
on DTMF. The key code receivers detect the DTMF coded digits received from
analog telephones or incoming trunk lines.
For certain applications, DTMF receivers are activated for the entire duration of a
call to detect service requests.
Tone Sender
Tone senders are required for incoming trunk calls and conference calls. The tone
senders send out tone messages (such as dial tone, busy tone, congestion tone or
ringback tone).
The tone sender characteristics comply with the specific characteristics for the
selected market.
Multi-party Ports
The Media Gateway supports a number of multi-party ports (or conference inlets)
for conference calls. The function is implemented in the DSP logic.
Recorded Voice Announcements (RVA)
The Media Gateway supports Recorded Voice Announcement (RVA) for greetings,
and call progress messages. The Voice Prompts are stored in WAV file format
(normally in the Telephony Server), downloaded at startup and stored in the local
flash memory. Storage capacity in the Media Gateway is at least 60 minutes. It is
possible to change the contents of the voice prompts in runtime. The Media
Gateway also supports concatenation of several voice prompts to one message
and repetition of a single stored prompt.
MX-ONE User Manual

4 Operation and Maintenance


The Operation and Maintenance is built upon the FCAPS model:

• Fault management
• Configuration
• Accounting
• Performance
• Security

4.1 Fault management

4.1.1 Alarms

The alarm feature is used to store information on faults and disturbances in- or
outside a system and to bring the attention of service personnel to these faults and
disturbances.

4.1.2 Alarm Classes

Each alarm is assigned one of the following alarm classes:


Alarm class Severity level
4 Critical
3 Alert
2 Warning
1 Information
0 Cleared
The alarm severity 0 (cleared) is special. When the alarm sender notices that an
alarm condition no longer exists, the sender will clear the alarm and the alarm
class changes to 0.

4.1.3 Alarm Generation


MX-ONE User Manual

The alarm classes (except alarm class 4 (critical)) are assigned a limit for
incrementation alarm. This means that an incrementation alarm is generated when
a predetermined number of alarms with a certain alarm class have been stored in
the alarm log. The incrementation alarm is then assigned the next higher alarm
class. The limits for incrementation alarms are specified in a configuration file.
An alarm is also generated when the alarm log risks becoming full.

4.1.4 Alarm Actions

Alarm actions can be configured to run when an alarm is stored in the alarm log, or
when an alarm changes severity, for example is cleared.
The alarm action can be any UNIX or Linux program or script and examples of
actions that can be taken are:

• Sending email or SMS with alarm information


• Updating web pages

4.1.5 Alarm Presentation

Alarms can be presented in the following ways:

• As printout of alarm log (can be in any of eight formats)


• As continuous view of alarm log
• As email or SMS
• On a network management center/workstation

4.1.6 Clearing of Alarms

When the system detects that an alarm condition (fault) no longer exists, the alarm
log is informed and the alarm is cleared.
A cleared alarm has the alarm class 0 but information on the old class is kept.

4.1.7 Alarm Noticed


MX-ONE User Manual

When an alarm is noticed and the correction work has started, the alarm is marked
as noticed. It is possible to add a comment when entering the notice command.
The command is stored with the alarm in the alarm log.

4.1.8 Alarm Log

If the alarm log becomes full, the alarm with the lowest severity levels are removed
from the log. A configurarion parameter determines which alarms that are least
important

4.1.9 Availability

Alarms are not lost when the system is restarted. However, they are lost when the
alarm feature is reloaded. After a reload, the feature will request a resend of all
alarms from the alarm sender.

4.1.10 SNMP

The Telephony Server has an advanced alarm and event handling function.
An SNMP-interface exposes standard MIB II information and alarms generated in
the Telephony Server are sent as SNMP traps. When alarms are cleared in the
system, alarm cleared traps are sent to the connected SNMP Managers.
In addition to alarms, events are stored in the Linux syslog. These events are
usually not critical for the operation of the system, but they might provide useful
information on the behaviour of the software or when debugging.

4.1.11 Automatic fault administration

The automatic fault administration feature is used to implement the following


actions when faults occur. The system is to:

• Decide and carry out a suitable recovery to minimize the consequences for the
system.
MX-ONE User Manual

• Inform the system operator about faults and the results from the measures taken.
The alarm log is used for the communication.

4.2 Configuration Management

By using commands it is possible to adapt the system to suit the individual


customer. The configuration alternatives include extension and system features
and the adaptation of the trunk lines to the PSTN or to other PBXes. The
configuration is done from an I/O terminal with a commmand line interface.
Extension adaptation can also be done from the Extension manager included in the
D.N.A. suite. It is possible to configure the system both locally and remotely.

4.3 Security Management

User Authentication
Each command is ssigned one of eight authorization classes, which are assigned
an alterable password with a maximum of 16 characters. The authorization classes
decides which user can use a specific command.
Audit and Security Trail
The Security trail contains information on all administrative-user logon attempts,
including user ID, date, time etc.
The Audit trail contains all configuration operations that in some way modify data in
the Telephony Server (create, modify and delete - operations)

4.4 Performance Management

Threshold Supervision
Critical resources in the Telephony Server are continuously monitored. When they
reach a certain threshold, alarms are generated.
Traffic Measurements
MX-ONE User Manual

Traffic measurements provide statistical information on the telephony traffic in the


Telephony Server. Examples of measurements are outgoing calls on a certain
route and the total number of incoming calls.
Traffic measurements must be configured and started manually and data will be
collected based on a number of configurable criteria.

4.5 Accounting Management

The Telephony Server logs call records that can be used for billing purposes. Each
call record can include a configurable number of data fields depending on the
information that is required for output. The output can be stored as a file or can be
sent to a connected post processing equipment.

5 Terminals and End User Equipment

5.1 Supported Terminal Types

The entrance point for the end-user of the MX-ONE Telephony System solution is
via its clients. These clients can be hardware telephones or software clients
running as PC applications.
To the voice end-user, the MX-ONE Telephony System offers H.323 Endpoints in
the form of wired IP phones and IP clients.
The following terminal types are supported:

• IP telephones

DBC 422 and DBC 425

• IP clients

ECC and ECA which are parts of the D.N.A. suite.


MX-ONE User Manual

• Analog devices

Analog telephones, answering machines or Group 3 FAX. For full


functionality, the device must have a recall key with timed break-of-loop.

6 License Handling
The license handling feature and its license server are used to:

• Check if a service is available


• Seize and release licenses

Each license file consists of license tags, the number of currently used licenses
and a maximum number of licenses. Each sales object that requires licensing has
a unique license tag.
The license file is delivered to a site in an encrypted form using DES (Data
Encryption Standard), and is installed on the license server in encrypted mode.
There are two types of licenses:

• Individual license
• System license

6.1 Individual License

The individual license is used for ports, for example, the IP extension or personal
number. Each individual license is defined with a maximum number of allowed
licenses .
A sales object that requires a license, seizes one when the object is initiated and
releases it when the object is removed from the system.

6.2 System License


MX-ONE User Manual

The system license is used for optional system features like, for example, network
services. A system license has one of the following two values: service is available
or service is NOT available.
Tryout Period
It is possible to have a tryout period for sales objects. The length of the tryout
period is defined when the license file is loaded into the system. The license file
can be used as tryout license on any system (any hardware ID), but is limited to a
maximum of 30 days.

7 Networking
General
In the MX-ONE Telephony System, a number of network features has been
introduced. Two groups of network features are distinguishable, that is, system and
user features (covering both extension and operator features). To use the network
features fully, a signaling system that can convey the necessary information is
needed.
For connections with ISDN, system features as well as user features are
applicable.
For connections with packet-based signaling, H.323, system features as well as
user features are applicable.
The network features are divided in two groups, those using standard ISO-QSIG
signaling and others using proprietary signaling. When the MX-ONE Telephony
System is connected to an ASB 501 04, all features are available for both ISDN
and H.323 signaling.
The system features are used by an exchange or exchanges in order to route a call
in a controlled, rapid manner to the called destination.
A user can only affect user features, not system features.
Calls, for example from the PSTN in a satellite exchange or from an extension, can
be rerouted or diverted to the exchange where the centralized operator function
MX-ONE User Manual

has been introduced. Answer positions can be specified per exchange with a
maximum of local Night Service extension, and a maximum of three centralized
operators. The exchanges are informed about present centralized operators, and
select an answer position in a descending order of priority from exchanges with
active operators.

8 Quality of Service
The MX-ONE Telephony System supports layer 2 and layer 3 QoS. To ensure a
better flow of guaranteed packet delivery, layer 2 QoS is supported according to
IEEE 802.1p/Q. This labels layer 2 frames with a priority setting enabling VLAN
aware devices to give priority to the Media Gateway voice traffic and the Ericsson
IP Telephones DBC 42x.
Layer 3 QoS is supported by means of Differentiated Services according to RFC
2474 and is implemented in all Ericsson voice products for the enterprise.
Managing QoS is not just a matter of plain support in the network elements and
clients but rather of a policy based upon what is wanted to achieve. It is however a
strong recommendation to plan for and deploy QoS in an IP network intended to
carry voice for business class telephony.

9 Environmental Conditions

9.1 General

The MX-ONE Telephony System consists of various products designed in-house


(for example, the Media Gateway and IP Telephones) as well as insourced server
products based on the PC pentium platform.
The MX-ONE Telephony System operates in typical residential, commercial, and
light industrial location. In locations where the environmental parameters exceed
MX-ONE User Manual

the values described in this document, special measures must to be taken, for
example, using extra cooling for high temperatures or inserting extra filtering for the
electrical environment.
In the following sections, the regulatory rules are listed for various operational
conditions. The relevant values and parameters are imposed, in the first hand, for
the in-house products of the MX-ONE Telephony System but the same is likely to
be applicable to other outsourced products and HW platforms under similar
operational conditions.
Any deviating values are to be given in the respective products along with the
operational conditions.

9.2 Climatic Environment

The values below are taken from the ETSI standard ETS 300 019-1 (1992)
(Environmental conditions and environmental tests for telecommunications
equipment), which combines environmental parameters specified in the IEC 721-3
series (Classification of groups of environmental parameters and their severities).
The MX-ONE Telephony System comply with ETS 300 019-1-1, class 1.1 Weather
protected, partly temperature controlled storage locations. This is in line with class
1K3 (climatic) and 1M2 (mechanical) in IEC 721-3-1 (1987).
The limits of the climatogram are:

• Temperature range: -5 to +45 degrees C


• Relative humidity: 5 to 95%
