Overview

SBC Base Licenses

The basic SBC Core 'starter package' for SIP/H.323 interworking functionality includes the base licenses SBC-RTU and SBC-SIP323, plus any add-on session licenses for the number of sessions.

SBC Base Licenses

Feature IDUsage

SBC-RTU

Controls the RTU for SIP and H.323 sessions. The following type of media sessions are enabled:

  • Pass-through audio (no DSPs)
  • Pass-through audio and video (no conferencing)
  • Transcoded audio (DSP modules required).

SBC-SIP323

SIP/H.323 Interworking function

SBC Feature Licenses

The SBC-RTU license allows the following functionality:

  • Pass-through audio (no DSPs)
  • Pass-through audio and video (no conferencing)
  • Transcoded audio (DSP modules required)

When more advanced SBC functionality is required, additional licenses must be included in the license bundle. For example, SIP-I interworking requires the SBC-SIP-I license. So the license bundle should contain the SBC-RTU plus the SBC-SIP-I license.

The currently available feature licenses are listed in the table below.

Note

When upgrading to 6.0 and later releases, the sonusCpLicenseBundleExpiredNotification CRITICAL alarm is triggered if the POL-BASE license is installed because the ePSX is no longer supported. To clear this alarm, remove the POL-BASE license bundle from the EMA GUI. Refer to Network License Settings - Required License  for details.
