Document Overview

This document depicts the configuration details for Ribbon EdgeMarc 2900A interworking and compliance against Deutsche Telekom SIP Connect solution. This is a general reference document that requires user input during the configuration of Ribbon EdgeMarc 2900A.

This guide contains the following configuration sections: 

Section A: Ribbon EdgeMarc 2900A Configuration

  • Captures general Ribbon EdgeMarc SBC configurations for deploying with Deutsche Telekom SIP Connect solution.

Section B: Emulated PBX Configuration

  • Captures the Phonerlite configuration which is used as a Emulated PBX.

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 SBC configurations in consultation with network design and deployment engineers. 

Audience

This is a technical document intended for telecommunications engineers with the purpose of configuring both the Ribbon SBCs and the third-party product.

Steps will require navigating the third-party product as well as the Ribbon product using graphical user interface (GUI) or command line interface (CLI).

Understanding of the basic concepts of TCP/UDP/TLS, IP/Routing, and SIP/RTP/SRTP is needed to complete the configuration and any necessary troubleshooting.

5. Survivability

  • Check and confirm SIP connectivity is shown for proxy (and that there is name resolution since this requires DNS SRV lookup) under VoIP > Survivability.
  • The SIP Server reachability configuration is optional.
  • On the same screen, configure registration rate pacing behavior as provided by Softswitch / IP-PBX.

Survivability

Note

If you do not have SIP Server Redundancy Configuration (below) enabled and DNS SRV lookup, you will not see the multiple entries shown in the screenshot above.

SIP Server Redundancy Configuration

6. B2BUA Trunking Configuration

  1. Navigate to VoIP > B2BUA to configure SIP Trunk on LAN to PBX and WAN to DT Registrar.
  2. In the test setup, PBX on LAN was the Phonerlite client on the laptop that had its IP address allocated by EM acting as DHCP server.

B2BUA Trunk Configuration

  • The first set of credentials is for the REGISTER challenge to register the SIP trunk.


Credentials and Registration-1

  • The next part is for the INVITE challenge when trying to place calls over the SIP trunk.


Credentials and Registration-2

  • Action to send incoming calls to LAN PBX.

Actions 1

  • Action for adding P-Preferred Identity Header to all calls going to the DT SIP Trunk (only needed if PBX is not already adding this).

Actions 2

  • Match condition for sending all incoming calls to the LAN PBX.

Match 1

  • Action to add P-Preferred Identity Header to outgoing calls as required from LAN PBX to DT Trunk.
