Architecture and supported hardware and software
This section details the system architecture for MAS 6.0 for Application Server
(AS) 5300 release as well as the supported hardware and software for that
platform. For more information, refer to Media Application Server 6.0 for AS
5300 Planning and Engineering (NN44470-200).
System architecture
The MAS platform is a software-based, media processing server. Software on
the host server performs all media processing. The MAS architecture permits
scalability for all core functions of the platform, including signaling, application
execution, content management, and media processing.
Network architecture
The MAS platform can scale from a small, duplex server solution. The system
exploits a multiprocess, multithreaded architecture that is designed to take
advantage of multiple processor core and hardware platforms. The server
achieves scalability across multiple computers by replicating the entire
system.
Supported hardware and software
The MAS platform uses commercial operating systems and commercial
hardware platforms for all processing.

MAS installation
Supported hardware platform
You can install the MAS software on an IBM X3550. The X3550 has an Intel
XEON 5140 2.33 GHZ processor, 2 GB of RAM and a SCSI hard drive.
Supported operating system
You can install the MAS software on Windows 2003 operating system (OS). To
comply with the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Security
Technical Implementation Guideline (STIG) and GR-815 compliancy, you must
install additional OS hardening patches and security software must be installed
on the MAS before you install MAS platform or MAS application software.
MAS platform core components
The MAS platform software includes the following core components:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Session controller
The Session Controller (SC) provides the application execution environment
and manages all platform resources. The Media Controller provides the
conduit for communication between components and is the core of the
platform.
VXML browser
The VXML Browser (VXMLI) provides the execution environment for VXML
based applications.
SIP Multimedia Conductor (SIPMC)
The SIP Multimedia Conductor (SIPMC) provides SIP signalling and session
management capabilities.
Multimedia Controller
The Multimedia Controller (also called the SoftIVR Controller, or SC) is the
core of the MAS platform. The SC provides the conduit for communication
between components, provides the environment for application execution,

MAS installation
and manages all platform resources. The SC is a client with respect to all other
components. The SC connects to all components identified as part of one
virtual system.
IVR media processor (IVRMP)
The IVR media processor IVRMP provides audio and video streaming, digit
collection, automatic speech recognition (ASR) and Text-to-Speech (TTS)
capabilities.
Conference media processor
The Conference media processor (ConfMP) provides audio and video
conferencing functions to the remainder of the platform.
Multimedia Content Store
The Multimedia Content Store (CStore) manages all content types and
ensures that you can access content reliably and consistently within a
platform cluster.
Stream source
The Stream source (streamsource) provides continuous pretranscoded real-
time audio to the IVRMP to facilitate a radio broadcast effect. Multiple IVRMP
channels use this feature to listen to the same real-time audio stream without
transcoding the stream on each channel or connecting each channel to a
remote server. Primarily, the SSRC is used for music-on-hold streaming or
connecting to Internet streaming radio servers.
Reporter
Reporter (reporter) generates scheduled reports (CSV, HTML) with optional
FTP/SMTP delivery. Reporter also replicates OM and call detail records.
MAS installation
The MAS platform and its associated applications are installed together on a
commercial off-the shelf (COTS) server. The server is shipped with a
hardened version of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 preinstalled. After you
power on the server, change the IP address, netmask, gateway, and host
name. A Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) (recommended) or 100 MB full-duplex
network connectivity is required. Quality of service (QoS) policies on the
switch connecting directly to the server must trust the server to allow
Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) markings to flow through the
switch.

MAS installation
Uninstallation
Under normal circumstances, you need not uninstall the MAS platform unless
you want to perform a clean installation. Before you install the platform, you
must uninstall all applications and close all instances of the Nortel MAS
Console. If instances of the Nortel MAS Console are running when you
uninstall the MAS platform, you must restart the server.
Reinstallation
If you need to reinstall the MAS platform, you can use the MAS installation
DVD. The MAS installation DVD contains an automated installer. The MAS
platform is contained in a single installer; each application is bundled in a
separate installer. After you insert the DVD, locate and run the setup program.
MAS installation verification
After you install the MAS platform, you must verify that the IP address and
host name are correct.
Supported third-party software
Nortel supports McAfee VirusScan Enterprise Edition 8.5 only.
Options for MAS application deployment
The following sections provide an overview of the applications. available for
use on the MAS 6.0 platform, as well as the application deployment options
for the platform.
Meet Me Conferencing
The Meet Me Conferencing application provides reservation-less audio
conferencing on the MAS platform. You can use Meet Me Conferencing for
private conferencing at any time. Meet Me Conferencing is controlled by the
chairperson, who is assigned the role by an Application Administrator (AA).
For more information about Meet Me Conferencing, see Nortel Media
Application Server 6.0 for AS 5300 Meet Me Conferencing Fundamentals
(NN44470-103).
Ad Hoc Conferencing
Use Ad Hoc Conferencing to join together multiple simultaneous calls into a
single conference call. You can initiate a conference call from any client. To
initiate a conference, place a number of calls on hold and then select the Join
button in the Multimedia PC Client to transfer the calls to the conference
server and start the conference. The conference originator may leave the
conference without interrupting the call. The conference server terminates
the call when there is only one participant left. For more information about Ad
Hoc Conferencing, see Nortel Media Application Server 6.0 for AS 5300 Ad
Hoc Conferencing Fundamentals (NN44470-104).

MAS installation
Music On Hold
With the Music On Hold application, a system administrator can provision the
MAS system to play music while a caller is hold. The Music on hold application
lets a caller know that the call is still connected. It is possible to implement the
Music on Hold application for the following types of hold: end-user, transfer,
and Call park. This application continuously plays for the user on hold and
does not restart the tune each time a user is put on hold. For more information
about Music on Hold, see Nortel Media Application Server 6.0 for AS 5300
Music on Hold Fundamentals (NN44470-106).
Announcements
The Announcements application plays recordings for branding, causes, and
treatments. You can use announcements to indicate the status of calls and
internal session manager conditions (treatments); which are used in all-circuit
busy situations. Announcements also provides treatment when calls fail to
complete, and provides branding (for example, Welcome to Nortel Networks).
For more information about Announcements, see Nortel Media Application
Server 6.0 for AS 5300 Announcements Fundamentals (NN44470-105).
Unified Communications
The Unified Communications application provides users with integrated
access to their voice-mail messages from a preferred client device, such as a
PC, voice over IP (VoIP) phone, wireless phone, or a traditional circuit
switched telephone. One single mailbox can be used by multiple telephony
devices and the messages deposited in this common mailbox may optionally
be mailed to a user’s e-mail client, offering another convenient access option
for voice mail message playback. Users manage their account through a
traditional Telephony User Interface (TUI) or through the web-based Personal
Agent (PA), which may be optionally configured for the user. For more
information about Unified Communications, see Nortel Media Application
Server 6.0 for AS 5300 Unified Communications Fundamentals (NN44470-
102).
Application deployment options
In Release 6.0, Media Application Servers are deployed as duplex clusters
(pairs) to ensure redundancy. In a duplex cluster, the MAS applications are
installed on both servers. The only exception to this rule is Meet Me, which can
be installed in an N+1 cluster configuration. You can deploy MAS applications
in one of three different deployment scenarios:
•
•
•
Dedicated Deployment
Co-resident Application Deployment (including Meet Me)
Co-resident Application Deployment (excluding Meet Me)
The deployment scenario you select is determined by your capacity
requirements.

MAS installation
Dedicated deployment
In a dedicated deployment scenario, each application is deployed on its own
MAS pair to the maximum capacity of that single application. However, for the
most efficient use of resources, a combination of dedicated deployment and
multi application deployment is required.
Co-resident deployment
In a co-resident deployment, up to five MAS applications (Meet-Me, Ad Hoc,
Music on Hold, Announcements, and Unified Communications) can be
deployed on the same MAS duplex.
If you choose a co-resident deployment, you must stay within the engineered
capacity limits for that co-resident deployment. You cannot, for example,
expand the capacity for Meet Me and balance that by reducing Unified
Communications capacity. If you require additional application capacity, you
can add an additional MAS pair and deploy a dedicated service to
accommodate the additional capacity requirements for that service. For
example, if you currently have a combination five deployment, and you require
additional Meet Me capacity, you can purchase additional Meet Me licenses
and servers and deploy a dedicated Meet Me server cluster to handle the
increased capacity.
The available co-resident deployment options are defined in the following
sections.
Co-resident Application Deployment (including Meet Me)
In a Co-resident Application Deployment (excluding Meet Me), all five MAS
applications are deployed on the same MAS pair.
Co-resident Application Deployment (excluding Meet Me)
In a Co-resident Application Deployment (including Meet Me), Ad Hoc, Music
on Hold, Announcements, and Unified Communications are deployed on one
MAS pair and a separate MAS pair is dedicated to Meet Me Conferencing.
Maintenance Releases
The MAS is updated or downgraded using executable installers (DVDs). To
update the MAS to the latest maintenance release, you must obtain the latest
maintenance release DVD and install the software. To downgrade to an earlier
maintenance release, you must run the installer on desired maintenance
release DVD. For the procedures to update and downgrade maintenance
releases, see Nortel Media Application Server 6.0 for AS 5300 Installation
(NN44470-300).

system for use with MAS, see Nortel Media Application Server
Commissioning (NN44470-301) and the AS 5300 documentation suite.
Packaged applications
You can deploy packaged applications on the MAS platform. Packaged
applications are prepackaged applications that you configure on the system
using an installer.
Attention: This release does not currently support custom applications.
Packaged application installation and licensing
You can install packaged applications after you install and configure the MAS
platform. As part of the installation process, you must configure license keys
for all packaged applications that you install.

MAS commissioning
To view installed packaged applications, use the Nortel MAS Console. The
Nortel MAS Console lists the application version and the current operational
state for that application. An example of a packaged application would be
Recorder.
Configuration data
Each packaged application has one or more configuration parameters that
you can modify to alter the behavior of the application. To view and modify
these application-specific parameters, use the Nortel MAS Console.
Operational state
Each packaged application has an operational state that you can view and
modify. To view and modify the operational state of an application, use the
Nortel MAS Console.
You can select one of the following operational states:
•
Unlocked—This is the default. Normal call processing is performed for the
application.
•
Locked—When the application enters a Locked state, existing sessions for
that application are terminated and the system redirects new traffic. You
typically place the application into a Locked state when performing
maintenance (for example, application upgrades) to the application.
•
Pending Lock—When the application enters a Pending Locked state, the
system redirects new traffic for that application, while existing sessions are
preserved.
MAS clusters
A MAS cluster is a collection of MAS nodes that work closely together. A MAS
cluster shares the following resources:
•
•
•
•
SNTP server for clock synchronization
persistent content storage
Controller Peer Ring
redundant license servers
A cluster consists of N+1 active MAS servers where N is a maximum of 7 for
high availability and redundancy. An additional server is used as a spare to
accommodate one server failure. The spare server is active and handling
traffic, but the entire system is engineered to N servers of capacity (not N+1).
This ensures that enough remaining capacity is available to handle peak traffic
if one server fails.
The following terminology describes the different cluster types:
Duplex—a cluster consisting of two MAS nodes

MAS commissioning
•
N-way—a cluster consisting of three or more MAS nodes
Because the cluster is based on system replication, you must configure the
same applications on all of the MAS servers in the same cluster and provision
any application data (such as subscriber information) for that cluster. The SIP
proxy must support load balancing across multiple MAS nodes in the same
cluster.
Persistent content storage
Configuration of the persistent content storage depends on

•
the number of nodes in a cluster
the applications that are provisioned for that cluster
how those applications make use of the persistent content storage
For duplex configuration, the cluster consists of two nodes. On both nodes,
configure the Content Store Local Function key to Master, configure the
Content Store Peer Master Server key to contain the IP address of the peer
master node, and configure the Content Store Remote Server(s) key to a
CStore duplex cluster configuration
For N-way configuration, the cluster consists of three or more nodes. On the
first two nodes, configure the Content Store Local Function key to Master,
configure the Content Store Peer Master Server key to contain the IP address
of its peer master node, and configure the Content Store Remote Server(s)
key to a blank value. Disable the CStore for all other nodes.
For all other nodes, configure Content Store Local Function to Idle and
configure the Content Store Remote Server(s) key to contain the IP address
of both CStore masters. Configure the Content Store Peer Master Server key

Controller Peer Ring
Applications use the Controller Peer Ring to send and receive events to the
various MAS nodes in the cluster. Configuration of the Controller Peer Ring
depends on the number of nodes in the cluster and if the provisioned
applications use the Controller Peer Ring. To create the ring, configure each
MAS node with a primary and backup controller peer. You can then
dynamically add or remove MAS nodes to and from the Controller Peer Ring.
For duplex configuration, configure the Controller Peer Primary Server key to
the IP address of the other media server and configure the Controller Peer
Backup Server key to the IP address of the same server. To view an example

SIP signaling
SIP configuration is broken into the following categories: General, Domains,
Accounts, Trusted Nodes, and Routes. The following sections describe these
categories in more detail.
SIP properties
You can modify the following SIP properties.
SIP properties

Description
Always use SIP default
outbound proxy
If enabled, the system routes SIP requests, which
do not match domain proxy configuration, through
the default outbound proxy (if configured), even if
the IP address is specified in the host portion of the
destination Universal Resource Indicator (URI).
Answer Delay (rings)
Represents the number of rings before an
incoming SIP call is answered. To configure the
duration of a ring, use the Ring Interval engineering
parameter. Zero rings means that the call is
immediately answered.
Hide SIP User-Agent Header
If enabled, the User-Agent header is not included
in SIP messaging.
SIP domains
You must define all SIP domains on the MAS. You must configure a SIP
domain before you can configure SIP accounts and routes.

MAS commissioning
The platform has an internal domain called the wildcard domain, which is
represented with an asterisk and is the default domain if no matching domain
is found.
SIP accounts
SIP accounts are used for application registration in the SIP network. The
MAS registers all accounts against the registrar servers. For information about
delete SIP accounts.
SIP trusted nodes
MAS processes SIP traffic from trusted nodes only (for example, proxies and
gateways). Any requests from a nontrusted node are rejected. You can view,
add, and delete trusted nodes.
Attention: If you add or delete a trusted node, you must restart the platform
for the change to take effect.
SIP routes
Use SIP routes to define all proxy and registrar servers with which a MAS
node communicates. You can configure up to 32 routes for each domain.
SIP proxy servers
A SIP proxy server accepts MAS requests and queries the SIP registrar server
to obtain the recipient addressing information. The proxy server then forwards
the request directly to the recipient if the recipient is in the same domain or to
another proxy server if the recipient is in a different domain.
The MAS platform uses proxy server routes to route outbound SIP requests
to the appropriate proxy server for outbound traffic load sharing and failover.
Routes are selected based on the domain (or subdomain) lookup. If no
matching domain is configured, the default wildcard (*) route is used. For
example, if an outbound call is made to [email protected], the routes
associated with the techtrial.com domain are selected.
On the first routing attempt, the MAS platform selects active routes that are
online based on the lowest priority only. The weight is used to select routes
within the same priority level. Route selection from the next priority level is
chosen automatically only if the lower priority routes are either offline or fail to
respond.
For load sharing configurations, you can define multiple routes with the same
priority. For failover configurations, configure the primary routes with
priority = 0 and weight = 10 and configure the secondary routes with
priority = 1 and weight = 10.

MAS commissioning
SIP registrar servers
A SIP registrar server is a database that contains the location of all user
agents within a domain. MAS registers its applications with all configured SIP
registrars. Registration is optional based on MAS configuration. Digest
authentication is supported.
Media conferencing
MAS supports multimedia conferencing for both audio and video streams. You
can use one of the following conferencing algorithms: basic and premium.
Basic conferencing algorithm
The basic conferencing algorithm mixes the two audio streams with the
highest energy and provides the mixed audio to the remaining participants.
The two participants with the highest energy audio streams receive only the
other active participant's audio so they do not hear themselves. The
participant with the highest energy with of the two highest energy speakers is
known as the primary active speaker. The other participant is the secondary
active speaker. (The system continually monitors the energy of all participants
in a conference, and using threshold algorithms, changes the conference
focus point.)
When some or all of the participants in the conference have corresponding
video streams, the video streams of the primary active speaker are replicated
and sent to those participants. The primary and secondary speakers see only
each other if they have video-enabled clients. The system attempts to provide
video participants with video when possible. If the active speaker does not
have video capabilities, participants receive a configurable replacement video,
which by default is an icon of a megaphone.
Premium conferencing algorithm
A more advanced conferencing algorithm (called premium conferencing)
mixes up to four parties simultaneously. Each channel runs a voice activity
detector (to determine speech versus background noise), an automatic gain
control algorithm, and a dynamic jitter buffer with compaction and packet loss
concealment. This algorithm is suitable for mixing large conferences.
Number of conferences and participants
MAS has no hard limitations on how many simultaneous conferences can
exist on the system, or how many participants can be in each conference. The
maximum number of participants in a single conference, without bridging
multiple conferences together, is limited only by the capacity of the scaled
system, which can vary based on hardware and the operating system.

MAS commissioning
Mixing different codecs
The system can mix participants with potentially different codecs in the same
conference. To achieve this, the system transcodes the incoming streams into
a common format, mixes, and then provides each participant with the correctly
mixed audio. The system optimizes for multiple participants by transcoding the
resulting mixed audio based upon a grouping of conference participants. If
every participant uses identical codecs, at least three groups exist in a
conference.
The first group contains the primary speaker, the second group contains the
secondary speaker, and the third group contains the remainder of the
participants. The groups describe the different versions of the mixed audio
required in a conference. The first and second groups exist because the
primary and secondary speakers do not hear their own voice, thus they must
receive a different version of the audio than other participants. The third group
is for all other participants who require the mixed audio of both active
speakers.
The system must transcode all incoming audio streams to test for energy.
However, if the basic conference algorithm is used, the system must
transcode only the audio of each group and then replicate for each participant
as needed. This conserves system resources. If multiple codecs exist in a
single conference or if the premium conference algorithm is used, additional
groups are required. The system can, therefore, optimize conferences with
more than three participants because the additional system resources
required for each participant includes transcoding the incoming audio stream
and testing for energy. The additional participants are assigned to existing
groups as needed so they receive the same audio as other group members.
The MAS can provide additional media processing functions for conferences
on a global conference basis or for each participant. Optionally, the system
can allocate a global announcement port that provides broadcast
announcement capability to all participants. Additionally, the system can
allocate a pseudo resource for each participant that enables the system to
perform digit collection, speech recognition, and whisper-like functions for a
specific individual.

negotiation (SDP answer) or default SDP (SDP offer).
Configure the RFC2833 payload type. Nortel recommends that you select
the default payload type, which is determined dynamically. However, some
clients require a fixed payload type.
Conferencing
To configure conferencing, use the Nortel MAS Console. You can configure
the following conferencing properties:
•
•
Enable or disable the Automatic Gain Control. The default is enabled.
Enable or disable the Customized Replacement Video property. When
enabled, customer-supplied replacement video files are used. The default
selection is enabled.
•
•
•
Enable or disable the Lock Video Format on First Party in Conference property.
When enabled, the first party determines the video format. If the first party
is audio-only, the conference has no video. When disabled, the first party
with active video determines the video format. The default is enabled.
Enable or disable the Replacement Video For Active Speaker property.
When enabled, the active speaker receives replacement video in
conferences where one or more than two (but not two) parties are enabled
to speak. The default is enabled.
For the Silent Conference Teardown Delay (sec) property, configure the
number of seconds a conference must be silent before it is terminated (0
indicates no termination). The default value is one hour.
Quality of Service
MAS supports Differentiated Services (DiffServ) packet marking on outgoing
Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) streams. The system sets the DiffServ
Control Point (DSCP) to expedited forwarding (EF), which is a widely
supported indicator for QoS-enabled networks carrying real-time audio and
video data. Network routers that are QoS-enabled examine the type of service
bits in the IP header and provide priority (with respect to routing and handling)
to those packets marked with expedited forwarding. In addition to marking
packets, MAS uses high resolution, interrupt-driven timers to drive RTP
packetization at precise intervals.

MAS commissioning
MAS uses flow specifications for each codec to identify packet delivery
characteristics to the operating system, enabling it to prioritize (internally)
packets destined to and from the network interface card (NIC). The framework
ensures that QoS marked packets sent from MAS media processors are not
dropped or delayed in their delivery to the wire. MAS can reserve a
percentage of NIC bandwidth for its media processors. This ensures that
management and signaling does not affect the quality of the audio or video
streams in use on the platform. Use of flow specifications also offers some
denial of service protection as the transport layers discard packets (instead of
attempting to process them) that do not conform to the flow specification.
MAS contains the Telchemy VQMON agent for QoS monitoring and RTCP-XR
support. R-Factor, jitter, and packet loss are continually monitored for each
call. Calls that fall below a configured R-Factor threshold are logged. All QoS
statistics are archived with session detail records for analysis.
To configure QoS, use the Nortel MAS Console. You can configure the
following QoS properties.
QoS properties
Property
QOS Maximum Bandwidth Per The QoS maximum bandwidth for H.263 video flow
H.263 Video Flow (Bytes) in bytes. The default is 300 kbytes.
QOS Maximum Bandwidth Per The QoS maximum bandwidth for NNVC video

MAS commissioning
Continuous streaming
The MAS platform supports continuous streaming of pretranscoded real-time
audio that applications can use to facilitate a radio broadcast effect. With this
feature, applications can give sessions music-on-hold streaming or connect
the sessions to Internet-streaming radio servers. Multiple sessions can listen
to the same real-time audio stream without the cost of transcoding the stream
on each session or connecting each session to a remote server.
The MAS platform can stream from the following providers: Directory or RSS.
The following sections describe these providers in detail.
To adjust the continuous stream volume, use the Nortel MAS Console to edit
the Continuous Streaming Volume Adjustment (dB) property (specify the
value in decibels [dB]).
Directory provider
With the directory provider, files in a local directory can be transcoded,
cached, and played indefinitely in alphabetic order. Continuous playback is
achieved by repeating the sequence. The platform monitors the directory and
detects any changes made for dynamic updates.
To configure the Directory Provider you must create a directory inside
%BASEDIR%\platdata\StreamSource\ChannelRoot. This directory name is
the channel name that the application specifies and is used to stream from this
source. Nortel recommends that you place all audio files in this directory.
RSS provider
The RSS provider can retrieve and parse Real Simple Syndication (RSS)
documents. The RSS provider downloads the contents of these documents so
the directory provider can play them. The RSS provider supports the following
features:
•
automatic RSS feed synchronization —to automatically add and remove
content
•
•
•
time-to-live attribute—to update content
fault tolerance—to preserve local files until files are safely downloaded
MP3 and WAV content types
RSS is a dialect of Extensible Markup Language (XML) and the platform
currently supports RSS 2.0. For more information, see the RSS 2.0
The platform is currently limited to RSS documents that are no larger than
260 kbytes. The following illustration shows a sample RSS 2.0 document.

Access security setup
Administrative access to the MAS is obtained using the Microsoft Remote
Desktop Connection Client. This client is based on the Remote Desktop
Protocol (RDP), which provides access over separate virtual channels.
For the purposes of enhanced security, management access control is
restricted to a limited number of authorized IP addresses. The number of
authorized IP addresses must be less than or equal to the number of network
administrators.
A timeout feature, set to a default value of 15 minutes, is used to disconnect
idle connections. In addition, management ports that receive three
consecutive failed login attempts are made unavailable for at least 60
seconds, and network connected management ports drop a connection or
session that becomes disconnected for any reason, within 15 seconds.
RDP is separated from other traffic through the use of a virtual local area
network (VLAN). A VLAN is added through the Broadcom Advanced Control
Suite and a virtual adapter is created for each VLAN added.

MAS administration and security
User accounts
This section introduces the concept of multiple users and user roles. To
accommodate customers who wish to use the shared account methodology,
support for the use of the shared administrator account is provided.
When a user is added to the system, it is defined as filling one of these user
roles assumes the ability to perform the administrative functions associated
with that role.
Individual user accounts provides full accountability and monitoring of
individual user actions on the system. User accounts are managed on an
individual basis for each server; it is the responsibility of the customer to
create each individual user account and to ensure that identical users are
created on each server within the MAS environment.
Each individual user account has a password that is processed through the
password complexity profile and can be enabled or disabled by a Security
System Administrator as required.
To maintain the accountability with individual users for the security of their
account, each individual user should be knowledgeable of only their own
password and not of the passwords of other users.
The following user roles (Windows User Groups) are identified with the MAS
system:
System Security Administrator (SSA)
The System Security Administrator is ultimately responsible for the complete
range of system administration functions, as follows:
•
•
•
•
Maintaining Operating System configuration.
Maintaining hardware and network configuration.
Maintaining security policy configuration.
Performing user management functions such as add, delete, or modify
accounts.
•
•
•
Performing certificate management functions.
Installing and upgrading MAS platform and application software.
Performing any task or operation within the MAS Console.
Security Auditor (SA)
The Security Auditor (SA) monitors security related events on the MAS
system, and manages the security log files, including viewing the security log
files and creating backup archives of the security logs.
The Security Auditor does not have permission to run the MAS Console.

MAS administration and security
Application Administrator (AA)
The Application Administrator (AA) performs administrative functions that
relate to the operation of applications on the MAS system, and can perform all
operations within the MAS Console. The Application Administrator can install
MAS software patches, but cannot access Event Viewer Security Logs.
Logon banners
A logon banner is a message screen that is displayed to users before a logon
to the system is attempted.
The logon banner does the following:
•
•
informs users that they are logging onto a secure and private system, and
warns unauthorized users that unless they are authorized they should not
proceed.
warns both authorized and unauthorized users that they are subject to
monitoring to detect unauthorized use.
A logon banner can be displayed to users before the login screen for the MAS
platform is displayed. Using a logon banner is optional. The banner title and
text values can be configured to display information for the system. The logon
banner is configured with default values when system is installed. After
installation, the customer is responsible for modifying the logon banner
settings if the default banner is not sufficient for their system.
Remote Desktop Protocol
Existing administrative access to the MAS is accomplished using the
Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client. This client is based on the
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) that provides for separate virtual channels.
IPSEC policy (with preshared key) is used to secure RDP. The RDP feature
for MAS 6.0 for AS 5300 continues to leverage IPSEC policy, however
replaces the preshared key with a TLS certificate (PKCS-12 format).
The following requirements apply to the MAS 6.0 for AS 5300 release:
•
Management access control is restricted to a limited number of
authorized IP addresses. The number of IP addresses must be equal to
or less than the number of network administrators. A valid username and
password is required for access to the MAS.
•
•
•
A timeout feature, set to 15 minutes, is used to disconnect idle
connections.
Management ports that receive three consecutive failed logon attempts
are unavailable for at least 60 seconds (port 3389 for RDP).
Network connected management ports drop a connection or session that
is interrupted for any reason within 15 seconds.

IPSEC configuration
IPSec is used to encrypt and authenticate communications between servers.
Each IPSec policy is made for both the source IP and for the destination.
There are three IPSec encryption algorithms available:
•
•
•
DES (56bit key)
AES (128bit key)
3DES (168bit key)
IPSec can be used to protect communications with servers outside of the
trusted system.
For detailed information about configuring IPSec, see Media Application
Server 6.0 for AS 5300 Commissioning (NN44470-301).
Security tools
This section details the security tools included with the MAS 6.0 for AS 5300
platform install. To preserve system security and file integrity, Nortel
recommends that the security tools are run continuously or periodically by the
onsite System Administrator to monitor potential security breaches.
Virus Protection using McAfee VirusScan Enterprise Edition 8.5
The virus protection software must be installed and configured to run
automatically on a weekly basis on every server. The McAfee VirusScan
Command Line Scanner software is included with the OS during installation
and comes preconfigured to run a scheduled scan once per week and to scan
the entire file system (excluding configured system directories) for potential
problems due to viruses.
When a virus scan is completed, the status is reported to the system log. Any
problems found are logged as critical in the system log and full details of the
error are then placed in the security log. Any files with suspected virus
infection are moved to a configured quarantine location. It is the responsibility
of a System Security Administrator to remove these files manually.

MAS administration and security
The default scheduled time for a scan to run is on Sundays at 4:22 AM. A
script is provided to allow the configuration of a different day and time for when
the scan is executed, or to disable automatic scanning entirely if this is
desired. Scanning the entire file system (excluding configured system
directories) takes at least 20 minutes under no load. This should be taken into
account when determining the day and time when the scanner is to be run.
Retrieving the latest virus definition files from McAfee and manually loading
them on the system is the responsibility of the onsite System Security
Administrator.
File system integrity and the fcheck tool
The file system integrity security tool allows an System Security Administrator
create a baseline of cryptographic hashes for a subset of files on the file
system. Once a baseline is created, future baselines can then be compared
against previous baselines to give the System Security Administrator an
indication of what files have changed on the system since the last time the tool
was run. Depending on which files were changed, added, or deleted since the
last baseline was taken, the System Security Administrator can determine
whether or not a security breach has occurred.
The file system integrity tool fcheck is the baselining tool used in this process,
and is included with the OS installation. The fcheck tool must be run manually
by an onsite System Security Administrator and must not be scheduled to run
automatically by the system. The System Security Administrator must
determine how frequently (weekly, for example) and under what conditions a
baseline should be taken.
The purpose of the file security integrity tool is to track files that should not
change very often. The tool allows a list of excluded directories and files to be
used.
Usage instructions and documentation are included in the default directory
location (C:\fcheck).
Certificate management
MAS 6.0 for AS 5300 uses the X.509 certificate type, that contains the public
key for a server and a signature from the certification authority (CA). A
certification authority is a trusted entity that issues, renews, and revokes
certificates.
A server uses a certificate to identify itself. A TLS or SSL connection or an
IPSec channel between two servers is established after two servers exchange
certificates and authentication is completed when the certificates are verified.

To create and install a valid certificate, you must do the following:
•
•
•
•
•
Generate a public and private key pair.
Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR).
Send CSR to CA to request the certificate.
Transfer CA-signed certificate to the MAS using SFTP.
Install the certificate using the MAS Console.
A certificate may also be revoked by the CA. A Certificate Revocation List
(CRL) must be obtained from the CA and installed on the server. When a new
CRL is available from the CA, the previously installed CRL on the server is
replaced.
•
•
The CRL is obtained from the CA using a secure method.
The CRL is installed in a designated location on the server.
Service and configuration data backup
The following sections define configuration data and application data.
Configuration data
Configuration data is the system configuration data that includes all the
configuration parameters. You can use the Nortel MAS Console to view the
configuration parameters.
Service data
Application data is the user data that resides on disk in the managed storage
area of the Content Store.
Automatic and manual backups
This section explains the backup and restore capabilities on the MAS
platform. To back up and restore configuration and service data, you can use
the Nortel MAS Console.
You can use the automatic backup task menu to create regularly scheduled
backups to run, for example, daily, weekly, and biweekly. You can configure the
local destination directory using the properties panel. In the automatic backup
task menu, you can transfer the archive to a remote server through the File
Transfer Protocol (FTP). You can use the properties panel to access the FTP
host, user name, password, destination path, and the option to delete the local
file after transfer.

MAS administration and security
Backup of configuration data
You can back up configuration data while the system is online, but the MAS
must be offline before you can perform a restore operation.
The configuration data backup file contains the following files:
•
an SQL database dump that contains data from the system configuration-
related database
•
•
a text file that contains metadata for the load
a text file that contains metadata for the schema versions
Restrictions
The backup zip file contains metadata that defines the complete load version,
for example, 5.0.193. You can perform restore operations only if the load
version metadata in the backup file is identical to the running load version.
Attention: You must create a backup file after any installation or upgrade to
ensure a compatible backup is available for restoration. If you do not create
a backup file, you cannot restore the currently running version.
Service data (Content Store data)
You can back up service data while the system is online, but the MAS must be
offline before you can perform a restore operation.
The service data backup file contains the following files:
•
an SQL database dump that contains data from the Content Store-related
database
•
a zip file of all files on disk in the managed storage area of the Content
Store
•
•
a text file containing the metadata for the load
a text file containing the schema versions
Restrictions
The backup zip file contains metadata that defines the complete load version,
for example, 5.0.193. You can perform restore operations only if the major load
version in the backup file matches the running major load version. Minor
version, load build number, and schema version are not considered.
Attention: You must create a backup file after any installation or upgrade to
ensure a compatible backup is available for restoration. However, unlike
configuration data, you can perform a restoration from a noncompatible
backup file only if you perform an upgrade from a previous release or the
major load version is 5, for example MAS 1.0.193.

System maintenance
It is good practice to perform routine maintenance tasks to avoid problems that
can affect server performance or cause the server to fail. The MAS platform
includes a number of useful tools and indicators to help you monitor your
server performance quickly and easily. With these tools, you can perform
regular maintenance routines.
Event logs
To ensure you are aware of service-affecting events so that you can take
appropriate action, check your event logs daily. Investigate any unusual
alarms or events, changes in alarm patterns, or inordinate alarm volumes.
Backups
To protect your site against data loss, maintain up-to-date backups. Ensure
you have a full system backup scheduled at regular intervals, even on systems
equipped with Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID). A full system
backup is critical to prevent data loss if a system failure occurs, such as a disk
drive failure or data corruption. Nortel also recommends that you perform a full
system backup before you upgrade or install new software. You can schedule
backups to run online while the system is still in service; however, Nortel
recommends that you schedule backups for off-peak hours.

Fault management architecture
This section describes the fault management architecture.
Polling management data
The MAS supports the polled management model of the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) to facilitate well-controlled network
management traffic and to enable reliable data synchronization through a
request-response interaction. By maintaining Management Information Base
(MIB) tables and variables, the Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia System (IMS)
enables the following functions:
•
To recover the missing data due to lost notifications. This is referred to as
auditing and is described in the next section.
•
•
To perform initial data synchronization for the active alarm list.
To monitor the status of operation, administration, and maintenance
(OAM) communications with the agents and resynchronize all data after
recovering from communication loss.

MAS fault management
Auditing
Auditing includes regular auditing and data auditing. With regular auditing, you
can use the SNMP agent to poll the value of the following MIB variables:
•
•
sysUpTime (1.3.6.1.4.1.562.29.1.1.3)
currentTxNotificationSequenceNum (1.3.6.1.4.1.562.29.1.6.1)
Active alarm status
A management application can determine the latest alarm for a particular
network element. When the network element instance restarts, the value is
reset to zero.
SNMP management
The MAS platform provides SNMP management. SNMP management
supports outgoing traps for logs and alarms to remote SNMP-based Network
Management Stations (NMS). In addition, NMS can query alarm table and
audit services. Use the Nortel MAS Console to activate the Windows SNMP
service and configure system parameters.
Traps
Traps use the Nortel Reliable MIB format to support active and cleared alarm
notifications as well as informational log messages. To enable or disable
alarm-related traps and information log traps, use the Nortel MAS Console.
MAS SNMP agent
The MAS SNMP agent supports queries on the ActiveAlarm table and audits
for resynchronization with the management server. These queries can be in
the form of Get requests on specific fields or GetNext requests for table
traversal.
SNMPv1/v2
SNMPv1/v2 uses community names to authenticate messages. The
community name is like a password shared by the SNMP NMS and the MAS
SNMP agent. The community name must be the same value on both the NMS
and the MAS SNMP agent.
Supported MIBs
Nortel supports the following MIBs. You must load MIBs in the following order:
1

Syslog
Syslog is a standard for forwarding log messages in an IP network. The MAS
platform optionally supports syslog over User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for
the delivery of logs and alarm history to one or more syslog server
destinations.
To enable or disable syslog delivery, use the Delivery of SYSLOG property
(found in the Nortel MAS Console). To configure one or more syslog server
destinations, use the SYSLOG Destination Server List property (found in the
Nortel MAS Console). You can enter the syslog server host name or IP
address; separate each entry with a semicolon.
Event logs
Event logs provide a historical view of events that occur on the system. Event
logs are delivered to all configured destinations, which may include the MAS
management console, syslog destinations, SNMP destinations, and the local
Microsoft Event Viewer. The system automatically archives and rotates the
logs as needed.
Every log is assigned one of the following severities: Error, Warning, or
Informational. Errors are the most severe and provide further details on alarm
conditions. Warnings are less severe and are generated for events such as
raising or clearing an alarm. Informational logs are the least severe and
provide indication of processing, such as new connections initialized for each
component during startup.

A description of the event log.
Description
Source
The platform component that generated the log.
Security Logs
Security logs provide Security Administrators and Auditors the ability to track
critical operations of the system and to analyze historical data should a
security breach occur. Security logs are viewed using the Event Viewer
Administrative tool.
Security logs are archived using the Save Log File As... popup menu option in
the Event Viewer. It is the responsibility of onsite personnel to transfer these
files off of the system if a backup of the security logs is required.
Access to security logs is restricted to either SSA or SA users.
The following parameters are set during installation:
•
•
MaximumLogSize = 81920 KB
AuditLogRetentionPeriod = 2
Windows OS Security Logs
All system events such as logins, file access, file handling, and network
access are all tracked using various Windows operating system services.
The rules that govern these logs are factory configured and installed on
the server during installation.
