Compatible Product configuration and testing notes for BLC 6000 series by Occam Networks with Communication Server 2000


The test effort verified a basic level of interoperability between the Occam Networks BLC6000 System Gateway Series product release 5.3 and Nortel’s Communication Server 2000 (CS 2000) Release SN09U. This successful testing establishes the Occam Networks BLC6000 System Gateway Series product release 5.3 as a Nortel Compatible product for the release(s) tested. Testing included basic communication and basic call functionality between the devices. It is the service provider’s responsibility to perform appropriate system and network integration of the Occam Networks BLC6000 System Gateway Series product release 5.3 with the CS 2000 based on their network deployment requirements.

Limitations, Restrictions and Other Observations:
For a list of executed test cases, a test report is available. The following assumptions and restrictions apply to this IOT:

1. Nortel will not test redundancy, carrier grade, or traffic as these tests fall outside of basic interop testing. Voice quality will only be checked through audible means between parties
2. RFC2833 and Fax/Modem Upspeed with Nortel H323 GW are not tested since they are not supported in the Nortel (I)SN09-U release.
3. OCCAM BLCs do not support codecs G711 a-law, G.729, Fax upspeed and T.38 fax
4. For DNs greater than 7 digits, the DN has to be preceded by a 1 for all the digits to be sent to the CS2K
