IMPORTANT

Ribbon recommends using the Transparency Profile to configure transparency on the SBC Core for new deployments, as well as applying additional transparency configurations to existing deployments. Do not use IP Signaling Profile flags in these scenarios because the flags will be retired in upcoming releases.

Refer to the SBC SIP Transparency Implementation Guide for additional information.

Note

Prior to release 7.1, when the To-Header Transparency flag is set, the Request-URI is sent transparently even when the globalization flag of the Number Globalization Profile is enabled. In this case, the To-Header Transparency does not send the called number in the Request-URI locally.

Henceforth, the SBC supports globalizing the Request-URI by enabling globalization for the called number and enabling the To-Header Transparency flag. Thus, the Request-URI called number is not transmitted transparently to the egress leg (To-Header transparency flag will not affect Request-URI globalization). Note that Request-URI globalization is independent of the To-Header Transparency. This functionality applies to all scenarios where To-Header transparency is enabled, such as:

  • Redirection scenarios
  • Refer scenario
  • Interaction with Undo LNP
  • Modifying hostname of reqURI

To View and Edit Transparency Flags

On SBC main screen, go to Configuration > System Provisioning > Category: Trunk Provisioning > Ip Signaling Profile > Common Ip Attributes > Transparency Flags. The Transparency Flags window is displayed.

DEFAULT_H323

On the Transparency Flags window, choose the Ip Signaling Profile as DEFAULT_H323 to view the Transparency Flags for H323 Trunk Group.

Even when this flag is enabled, the IP port information is not included unless the "Include IP Ports in From and To Headers" flag, elsewhere in this IP Signaling Profile, is also enabled.

 History Info Controls History-info header transparency in SIP INVITE messages. When enabled, the SBC passes the History-Info header transparently from the ingress message to the egress message.

P Early MediaControls P-Early Media header transparency in INVITE or non-100 RESPONSE requests and their responses if they are relayed. When enabled, the SBC transparently copies the P-Early Media header from the incoming message to the outgoing message. When disabled, the PEarly- Media header is not copied to the egress leg. Provision this flag on egress leg with respect to message direction.
