AT&T IP Toll Free
1 Introduction
This Guide describes the steps for configuring the Network Equipment Technologies
(NET) Tenor AF, or Tenor AX to work with AT&T’s IP Toll Free Service. The NET
Quintum-Tenor AF/AX provides VoIP capability to Analog Telephones, Analog Key
Systems and Analog PBXs. Tenor Software release P108.09.02 was tested with the
AT&T IP Toll Free Service.
The NET Tenor works with your legacy premise telephone equipment and Call Center
applications to answer Toll Free (8YY) calls.
The Tenor AF/AX is a gateway device that converts AT&T IP Toll Free calls to be
answered by your legacy Analog Telephones, Analog Key Systems, Analog PBXs and
Analog Call Center applications. The Tenor AF/X uses SIP signaling to answer calls
from the AT&T IP Toll Free network.
References in this Service Guide to “Tenor” refer to the Tenor AF or Tenor AX.

2 Special Notes
The internal Tenor IP transfer feature (REFER) must be disabled in the Tenor
configuration. The NET Tenor will work with the AT&T Legacy Transfer Connect
feature (inband) if the Tenor IP SIP Transfer feature is disabled.
Session description protocol (SDP) in the Session Progress (183) and Ringing (180)
messages must be turned off in the Tenor configuration. This configuration setting
addresses an issue observed with outbound calling via the AT&T IP Flexible Reach
Service.
3 Capabilities Overview
The NET Quintum Tenor supports the following capabilities in conjunction with the
AT&T IP Toll Free service.

NET - Quintum Tenor Configuration Guide
AT&T IP Toll Free
For IP Toll Free, the AT&T network will send the call to the NET Tenor using the IPTF DNIS (also
known as signaled digits out-pulsed or SDOP) as provided by AT&T Customer Care. Note that
the DNIS will always be pre-pended with 5 leading zeroes (i.e. “00000”).
Other key fields are defined below:
– Dialed Number Information Service (DNIS)
– AT&T Private Number (APN; Used for Internal AT&T Toll Free routing)
– Calling Party Number (CPN)

Note: The Tenor AX provides a standard Centronics 50 pin male interface
(50 pin / 25 pair male Amphenol connector).
OR
Tenor Software release P108.09.02 was used when conducting interoperability testing
with the AT&T IP Toll Free Service.
The Tenor AX is a high-density VoiP (Voice over Internet Protocol) SIP/H.323 switch
that compresses and packetizes voice, fax, and modem data and transmits it over the IP
network. The Tenor AX gives larger businesses with analog voice infrastructure a means to use
Voice over IP (VoIP).
The Tenor’s MultiPath architecture enables it to intelligently route calls between the
FXS, FXO, and the VoIP network. The Tenor AX also routes calls over IP to reduce

costs, and then transparently “hop off” to the PSTN, to reach off-net locations. Calls can
be routed in any direction between any of the ports.
The unit’s plug and play embedded system architecture brings VoIP technology to your
network without changing your existing telephony infrastructure. The Customer’s
network stays as is, and the call type is transparent to the user.
LAN port - 10/100 Base-T Ethernet port. This port provides an RJ-45 jack for
individual connection to a 10/100 Ethernet LAN switch or hub via RJ-45 cable; it is
individually configured with a unique IP and MAC address.

The Tenor AF is a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) H.323/SIP switch that digitizes voice, fax,
and modem data and transmits it over the IP network. The Tenor AF gives small to medium
sized businesses with analog voice infrastructure a means to use Voice over IP (VoIP).
The Tenor’s MultiPath architecture enables it to intelligently route calls between the
FXS, FXO, and the VoIP network to achieve the best combination of cost and quality.
The Tenor AF also routes calls over IP to reduce costs, and then transparently “hop off”
to the PSTN, to reach off-net locations. Calls can be routed in any direction between any
of the ports.
The Tenor can be installed without upgrades to the existing voice or data network. You
can install the unit in a home or office environment, without affecting the network
infrastructure you already have in place.
