Document Overview

This document outlines the configuration best practices for the Ribbon solution covering the EdgeMarc 300 series ATA (Analog Telephone Adaptor) when deployed with Zoom.

The Ribbon EdgeMarc 300 is a low-density analog gateway or ATA device that gives small businesses, SOHOs and branch offices with analog voice infrastructures an easy, cost-effective way to capitalize on Voice over Internet Protocol​ (VoIP) services. The EdgeMarc 300 Series offers a solution, providing support for integrating analog endpoints and the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and support for all Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) calls. The EdgeMarc 300 supports any-to-any connectivity between analog and SIP devices, enabling branch offices to rapidly migrate analog phones onto SIP-based networks and communicate seamlessly.

The interoperability compliance testing focuses on verifying inbound and outbound call flows between Ribbon EdgeMarc ATA & Zoom Cloud.

This guide contains the following configuration sections: 

  • Section A: Ribbon EdgeMarc Configuration
    • Captures general EdgeMarc 300 configurations for provisioning with Zoom.
  • Section B: Zoom Configuration

    • Captures the Zoom configuration.

  • All basic calls, along with the supplementary features like call hold, call transfer, and conference can be tested with configurations from Section A and Section B.

  • Advanced supplementary features can be configured on Zoom as mentioned in Supplementary Services Configuration on Zoom. These cover:

    • Auto Receptionist

    • Call Flip

    • Shared Line Appearance (SLA) or Call Delegation

    • Shared Line Group (SLG) 

Non-Goals

It is not the goal of this guide to provide detailed configurations that will meet the requirements of every customer. Use this guide as a starting point and build the ATA configurations in consultation with network design and deployment engineers. 

Audience

This is a technical document intended for telecommunications engineers with the purpose of configuring the Ribbon ATA.

To perform this interop, you need

  • to use graphical user interface (GUI) or command line interface (CLI) of the Ribbon product.
  • to understand the basic concepts of TCP/UDP/TLS and IP/Routing.
  • to have SIP/RTP/SRTP to complete the configuration and for troubleshooting.


Note

The following table provides details of the EdgeMarc 304 interface/port:

EdgeMarc 304 Interfaces


The current test bed setup uses the following ports:

  • LAN Port - RJ45 "LAN 1" port is connected to Public network.
  • Phone Port - RJ11 "Phone 1" and "Phone 2" port connects to a PSTN (Analog) phones.

WAN and SFP WAN ports of EdgeMarc 304 are disabled in the ATA (Analog Telephone Adapter) mode.

Network

To configure the network interface, login to the EdgeMarc as root user and click Network.

Caveats

The following issues were observed during recent interop testing:

  • The Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) feature was not available for the Zoom Users behind EM 304 ATA. 
  • The EdgeMarc 300 was not responding to the INVITE received from Zoom, as it was receiving this INVITE in fragments.
    • This issue is only observed if the INVITE message is large.
    • The issue is resolved in the EM V16.3 release.
  • Noise may occur in a conference scenario, when a PSTN (user behind the EM 300) is involved. The fix will be available in upcoming EM releases.
