Bearer System 
The  bearer  software  is  resident  in  the  unit  control  boards  of  functional 
units.  The  software  consists  of  several  unit  processor  modules,  whose 
functions are described as follows. 
CNIC Bearer Subsystem 
The  CNIC  subcard  is  an  interface  subcard  between  the  system  and  IP 
networks, providing  an  IP  network side  interface.  The  card separates  the 
internal network from external IP networks, and provides the system and 
network  traffic  filter  measures.  The  card  implements  firewall  functions 
through NAT enhancing the system security.  
The CNIC also distributes RTP packets that have entered the system. The 
MPR board sends the RTP packets. The RTP packets’ IP destination address 
can be directly set as the destination address in the network; and the RTP 
packets’  IP source address can be switched to as the uniform  external IP 
address of the ZXMSG 5200 system.  
When  the  ZXMSG  5200  sends  out  a  RTP  packet,  the  CNIC  needs  to 
process the RTP packet. When the system receives a RTP packet, the CNIC 
will distribute the RTP packet to the corresponding MPR board according to 
the  packet’s  RTP  number.  This  procedure  is  implemented  through 
changing  the  destination  IP  address  of  the  RTP  packet  to  the  internal 
destination  IP  address  of  the  system,  and  changing  the  MAC  address  of 
the RTP packet to the internal MAC address of the system.  
MPR Bearer Subsystem 
The  MPR  software  is  resident  in  the  bearer  layer.  The  subsystem 
implements  hardware  drives  especially  VOIP  under  management  and 
control  of  corresponding  ICS  software  and  the  ZXMSG  5200  database, 
achieving service interconnection between PSTN and IP networks.  
The  subsystem  provides  service  interconnections  with  coding/decoding 
conversion  between  PSTN  G.711  voices  and  IP  network 
G.711/G.723.1/G.729A  voices,  facsimile receiving/transmitting  and media 
flow packing/unpacking on the IP network interface. The board also helps 
process PSTN calls and associated signaling and can provide DTMF number 
receiving/sending,  displaying  and  testing  Call  Progress  Tone,  FSK 
generation and conference function.
